06/04/07 - NNHS Newsletter - Sea Cruise "No sooner had I left to cruise the Mediterranean than the following question preoccupied me: How far does one kill a journey by making it become real?" - Ella Maillart  (20 Feb 1903 - 27 Mar 1997)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   This is still another of our "rerun" Newsletter themes - first seen over two years ago:

  From Me ('65) of NC - 05/29/07 - "How I Spent My Tuesday Morning":

   Sustaining Underwriters and Emergency Responders - THIS IS THE MORE COMPLETE LIST!

   Obviously, this page is in the process of being seriously and completely revamped, almost on a daily basis.  As I am not sure which of y'all wished to remain anonymous, if you have contributed to either of these funds, please drop me a line (as some of y'all have) and let me know your wishes. I'll then replace each "Anonymous" listing with your name or other wording. Thanks so much!

  BIRTHDAYS - TODAY AND UPCOMING:

   Today we have a Two-fer!     Raoul Weinstein ('57) of FL and   Catherine Slusser Hudson ('64) of VA are both celebrating their birthdays today!

   On Thursday, we'll have a Three-fer!       Fred Field ('45) of CA,    Al Simms ('60) of VA, and Donnie Morris ('67) of VA all will have their birthdays!

    Many Happy Returns to One and All!

  From Me ('65) of NC - 06/03/07:

   This is by means of explanation.  I now have enough material to fill two or three Newsletters, but there may be another pause.

   Yesterday afternoon, a little girl from our local church congregation, a child who had just celebrated her seventh birthday on May 6, died in a drowning incident.  My time may or may not be my own as we prepare to help her family cope with this tragedy.  I'll try to keep up with updates on the site (which are also behind at the moment).

   Check this link to see if perchance a new Newsletter appears, as it may be that I'll be able to complete an edition, but lack the time to announce it.

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/NNHS-Newsletters-2007.html

  Y'all take care of each other.

From Brian Beachum ('72) of VA - 06/03/07:

Our prayers are with you and the family of the child. No need for prayers for the child, she's with God now. She might be the one answering some of our prayers.

   Thank you, Brian.

  From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 06/03/07:

Dear Carol,

Don't worry about the newsletters.  My heart goes out to you.  In l986 our next door neighbor's 15 year old son was killed on December 26...the first time he had gone out in a car with friends.  It was just like one of our own family. 

Love and prayers, Jeanb

   Thank you, Jean.

  From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 06/03/07:

.....I called    Mom (Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of NC) tonight, after I saw your posting. How terribly sorry I am that the little girl drowned. How heartbreaking! We had a sweet little boy die, on the way to church (of all things), the day before Christmas in '95,  I think.. That was the ward we liked so much, in Pittsburgh. I cried sooo much. I had grown close to him, being in that Primary Presidency. He was so angelic looking and his family was such a kind group. The family was very close and he was the baby. He was 8, if my memory serves me well. I have thought about them often and wondered how they're doing.....
 

   Thank you, Shari.

    From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 06/03/07 - "North End - 48th Street":

I ventured to the Hilton Library on Saturday and found the following:

In 1963 the following families were listed on 48th Street:

MCCALL, Clyde O.,  223-48th

STANFIELD, Omega, Mrs.,  219-48th

Here is an image of the 48th Street listings. Perhaps some other familiar names will appear. Incidentally, it would have been helpful to know Patty's grandmother's last name. I expect that it will be one of those listed herein:

After I left the library, I was heading south on Huntington. I was sure that there would be no homes remaining on 48th Street ... that it would be all parking lot for the shipyard.  Not so. There was one home still standing, and it was 223.
		Saturday, June 2, 2007, 4:09 PM

I took some other shots to build a panorama, but I will send those in a later e-mail.

Dave

   David, I may have mentioned this once or twice before, but you are an amazingly considerate, thoughtful man! Thanks!

    From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 06/03/07 - "North End - 48th Street":

As promised, here are the additional images. 

One is looking west down 48th Street from Huntington.
		Saturday, June 2, 2007, 4:13 PM

The other is a panorama of the north side of 48th. The apparent curvature of the street is the nature of a panorama constructed from several shots taken from one location.

   WOWZERONI!!! Nobody does it better! Thank you so much, David!

From Patty Dunn of NC - 06/03/07 - "THANKS Carol~":

I am so excited.  Can't believe     Dave (Spriggs - '64 - of VA) took those pictures and found one of the Stanfield's.  I  am going to write to Bonnie.

   David is absolutely amazing!
 

That would be great if you put my message on your website.  Isn't the internet wonderful?

   Oh, yes, ma'am, it is!

Thanks. It would be great if someone could find Bobby Stanfield in the year book. I'd love to have a picture.
I don't suppose the yearbooks are on line anywhere?
 

   I think the only place you'll find those is right here - and even though I have the yearbooks fro 1954 to 1967 at the moment, I don't pretend to have posted entire sections of them.  Even this site is not that big!

Sorry to hear about the little girl at your church.  My prayers are with you.

   Thank you, Patty.

  From Bill Black - a.k.a. "Jim Quinn" ('66) of GA - 06/03/07 - "A Not-Too-Subtle Advertisement":

Is there room in the next newsletter for a blatant advertisement?  My favorite female singer/songwriter/guitarist pal Sara Hickman ( full disclosure:  we are just friends.  There's nothing going on.  I swear.  Ask anybody. ) will be appearing in Glen Allen next Saturday night, June 9th, 8 PM, for one show at the Shady Grove Coffeehouse.  Any Typhoons living in and around Richmond should flock to the Shady Grove en masse to hear her perform.  She'll be there with somebody named John Gorka, who has my tepid endorsement.   Don't know the guy, never heard of the guy, but I'm sure he's a fine person and an adequate opening act for the lovely Sara.  I just don't want to find out that they do a duet and get all cute and cuddly onstage. 
 
Folks on the Peninsula have two opportunities to see her the next day, Sunday June 10th, for a 4:00 show or 7:30 show at Harris Creek Acoustic in Hampton.  Once again with that annoying John Gorka guy. 

		Anyway, I'm attaching one of Sara's finest musical achievements from her new CD, "Motherlode". It's called "A Song of You". She sang it when I saw her at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta last fall. It brought a tear to me eye, I'll admit, but it may have been the set-up she gave it. Something vague and mysterious about a guy at a radio station somewhere, a long, long time ago. Before she married some dude in Texas and had two daughters.    (I, of course, couldn't figure out how to attach this for everyone to enjoy....)
Sara Hickman and Jim Quinn at WRVA

Visit her website, www.sarahickman.com  and you'll see the rest of her tour schedule, and everything else you need to know about her. You'll note she mostly stays in Texas, to be close to home for the daughters and hubby, but does branch out now and then.

Seriously, you'll enjoy the shows, and I wish I could be there to see her again with you, but, alas... Susan keeps me on a short leash. And don't think you have to meet her after the shows ( she's extremely approachable ) and say "Bill Black sent me." She'd know me ( once again, I SWEAR we're just pals ), but mention Jim Quinn, and you'll get an immediate full-body hug. Don't be embarrassed... It's meant for me.

Thanks Carol.

Typhoon regards,
Bill Black

   WOWZERONI!!! Thanks, Bill!

    From Jerry Blanchard ('62) of VA - 06/03/07 - "E-mail address":

Carol,

I have been off line for some time now; back as strong as ever now. Change my e-mail address to gwbbcb@peoplepc.com, please. I have really missed all the news. You can publish my new address if you wish.

Thanks, Jerry Blanchard (Class of 62)

   Well, in that case, you no doubt missed your birthday wishes, soooo - Happy Belated Birthday, Jerry!

   What a perfectly beautiful little baby girl - and she's smiling!!!  And her eyes are opened!!! 

   I don't know if they were all seven allergic to the eye drops, but not a one of my little darlings opened their eyes before they were two or three weeks old.  They were like little baby puppy dogs.

   My goodness!  What fun y'all must be having with that little doll baby!  She's GORGEOUS!!!  Hmmm, I wonder where she got THAT from?!?

   Thanks so much for sending these images, Sweetie!  I just love fresh little babies - even pictures of fresh little babies!

I'm so sorry to hear about the death of the little 7 year old girl. I know if anyone can comfort the family, it will be you.

love, d

   Thank you, David.

Sea Cruise

Huey "Piano" Smith & Frankie Ford (both of New Orleans) co-wrote "Sea Cruise";
and Frankie Ford recorded the first radio version in 1959.
John Fogerty did a cover of it later on.

Now old man rhythm is in my shoes, it’s no use sittin’ here singin’ the blues,
So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose, won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooowee, ooowee baby, ooowee, ooowee baby,
Ooowee, ooowee baby! won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?

I feel like jumpin’ and honey won’t you join me please, yeah.
Well I don’t like beggin’ but now I’m gonna bend a knee, oh yeah.

Well I gotta get a-movin’ honey, I ain’t lyin’,
My heart is beating the rhythm and it’s right on time.
So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose, won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooowee, ooowee baby, ooowee, ooowee mama,
Ooowee, ooowee baby! won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?

Well I gotta get-a-rockin’, get my hat off the rack,
I gotta boogie-woogie like a knot’s in my back,
So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose, won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooowee, ooowee baby, ooowee, ooowee baby,
Ooowee, ooowee baby! won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?

I feel like jumpin’ and honey won’t you join me please, yeah.
Well I don’t like beggin’ but now I’m gonna bend a knee, oh yeah.

Ooowee, ooowee baby, ooowee, ooowee mama,
Ooowee, ooowee baby! won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?

Won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise?
I’m goin’, I’m goin’, I’m goin’ on a sea sea cruise,
Let me take you on a sea cruise na na.
