Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This
Newsletter has taught me one thing about myself of which I was previously
unaware. I am just not a Schumann fan....... In fact, I'm going to cut this letter short simply because this splendid (and downright amazing, really!) MIDI file of Schumann's brilliant Toccata is causing me to want to throw something........ |
From
Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton
HS - '65) of FL - 06/07/06:
I hope you are able to open this.......it's hilarious
and fun to watch. And I want to dance
with this guy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg Oh, Gloria, this is just
such fun! What a hoot!!! (But, um, you dance with him, and
I'll stick with the slow dances..........)
Thanks, Lady!

Your big fat cat knows how to bark?!?
That's mighty impressive, Jean! And he's talking to the
birds, you say? My, my, my!
Thanks for telling us this,
Lady! I'm always amazed by what I learn from y'all!

BACKLOGS:
And no, I don't know why I so often fall behind...
To quote one of my favorite lines from Tombstone (1993), Doc Holliday: "Well, I suppose I'm deranged."
From Bill Lee (Warwick HS - '54) of NC to
Joe Madagan ('57)
of FL - 05/25/06 - "North
End Nostalgia":
Joe (and hello, Carol):
I spent a couple of hours, yesterday, thoroughly exploring that great web site. Takes a while to comprehend all that's there. So much of it is very reflective of my youth - while living in the 300 block of 72nd Street between 1945 and 1957. My compliments to both of you, and to the others who have spent countless hours - obviously - to create this potpourri of the past.......
Now for a couple more 'small world' observations, based on yesterday's
study of Carol's web site:
I was delighted - as was my wife (who attended
Parkview Grammar School in
grades 1-7) to read 'the rest of the story' about the hand-painted brick.
That's because another of our high school classmates (who also went to
Parkview) gave her one of those previous bricks several years ago. Neither
one of us knew the story of it origin, but now - thanks to you - we do.
See...

Actually, I went to Parkview for a short period of time, but was at Hilton
for grades 3-7. Nevertheless, I always thought Parkview was a classic
building - and looked like what a grammar school should look like. What's
there now is a sad substitute...
Agreed........ |

Thank you so much, Bill! ![]() http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/our-schools.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/parkview-school.html And we'll continue with Bill's observations in the next Newsletter..... |
