   This song popped into my head for some very good reason as I was riding down the highway in the broad daylight, but I can't remember what it was.....

   As I cannot find your portrait in the June 1945 Anchor, I'm a-thinking you must be in the February 1945 Class. And as you seemed to enjoy the complimentary issues I sent you, I've added you to our regular Alumni / Mailing Lists:

    From Eric Huffstutler (Bethel HS - '75) of VA - 06/06/10 - "Old Movie - surprise!":
 

Carol, I remember a while back both you and your son were big into old movies - especially horror and/or sci-fi? This may be of interest to you and anyone else who may have seen this movie. It was made in 1964 but the backlot story is of more interest than the movie itself which never had an official release. It wasn't even seen by people until it hit the television circuit after 1975. Why am I mentioning this? Because there is a documentary being made by an Emmy award winning producer and I am a part of it! Flew out to Denver, CO back in April to do my on camera parts of this 90-minute documentary which will hit the film festival circuits, theaters, cable, and eventually DVD. It is called "Creep!" I will provide both a link to the website and a YouTube link for an advanced teaser trailer. You will see me in a quick blurb (no name listed for me in this one but I am at about 53 seconds in - the one with a white goatee). I am a major player as I gave what the producer called a "backbone" to the story. The original movie is entitled "The Creeping Terror" and is now considered the worst movie ever made but wasn't supposed to be that way. Art Nelson, producer-director-screenwriter-actor-etc... of the '64 movie was a con-artist and criminal of extraordinary extent, a psychopath who may have killed but definitely was a sadist, drug fiend, and escapee from prison living under various assumed named until his death. Even his ex-wife wrote a book about her abusive life with him called "Hollywood Con-Artist". The producer Pete Schuermann, did a well know documentary with intro by Robin Wright Penn called "Haze" (2008) about the Hazing and 2004 alcohol death incident of Gordie Bailey in Boulder, CO. It won several awards. He also did the 50-anniversary documentary hosted by Julie Andrews for Disney World and done many high profile commercials as well as music videos and mini movies.

That is WAAAAY cool (except, of course, they should have added your NAME!)! Thanks, Eric!    Actually, I'm more of a film noir / mystery / 40s drama / WWII movie fan myself, while Nathaniel is much more of an expert and critic than I, with a much broader range as well.    "I just know what I like."    So I sent this on to him:

       From My #5 Son, Nathaniel Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '97) of IL - 06/06/10 - "RE: Old Movie - surprise!":

Sounds cool. Looks interesting.    Exactamundo! Thanks, Faniel!

        From Sydney Dearing ('56) of TN - 06/07/10 - "Missing newsletter":

Hi  Carol, My old problem of missing newsletters is back. If you recall, back when you were having so many problems with your old server I suddenly stopped receiving the NNHS newsletters. I tried everything I could think of with my e-mail settings, but nothing I tried worked. You were nice enough to try a couple of things for me to try to resolve the problem but still to no avail. However, when you changed servers, suddenly I started receiving them again. Everything was great until about the time you took a few days off when you were having company. A week went by, and then another and I thought, "Wow, she must be having a really good time," thinking they would start back any day but after another week I decided to go to the website and check the 2010 newsletters there and saw that I was again not receiving them. Maybe after the server change, it just took awhile for my e-mail provider to decide that these were spam but they aren't even showing up as spam. Then suddenly I received the one for June 4th. Maybe it just somehow slipped through my e-mail's defenses, because I didn't get one for the next two days which included D-Day's edition and I knew you would have one out for that day. I don't know what's going on but it just gets curiouser and curiouser. I am going to call my provider when I have an hour or two to sit and work with them over the phone and see if they can shed any light on it.    YIKESARONI! If you ever figure out the cause of this goofiness, Sydney, please let me know what is causing it! On another subject, a few years ago I got a virus on my computer from a forwarded e-mail and it was just such a disaster that consequently I never open forwarded e-mails (well, almost never - occasionally if I get one from one of my kids and absolutely know and trust the source I will open it) and I absolutely never forward a forwarded e-mail. I might send a forwarded message as an attachment to a separate e-mail again if I know and trust the source but I always let the recipient know that (as I did when I attached   Sandra Canepa's ('56 - of VA) attachment about      Joe Tolly ('56) to an e-mail to you). Anyway, I did get an e-mail (it was retyped and not forwarded) from one of my classmates and wanted to share at least a part of it so I am retyping just a bit of it. Again, I have not received all the latest newsletters so if I am repeating something already shared, I apologize but yesterday being the D-Day anniversary and Independence Day coming up in a few weeks, this seemed appropriate.   I do not want to make this political so I will only say that recently some of our politicians as well as some entertainers have been heard apologizing to other countries for our country's prior actions. In the early 60's JFK's Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all U. S. military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?" DeGaulle did not respond. You could have heard a pin drop. There were several other examples of how some of our other former patriots handled negative comments about our country, but this one sums it up as well as any of them. I did not check them for complete accuracy but if they are not 100% accurate, they should be.   Proud to be an American! Sydney Dearing    Thanks so much, Sydney! I did check it - and it's true! http://www.villainouscompany.com/vcblog/archives/2009/08/you_could_have.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Rusk:

After President of France Charles de Gaulle withdrew France from the common NATO military command in February 1966 and ordered all American military forces to leave France, President Johnson asked Rusk to seek further clarification from President de Gaulle by asking whether the bodies of buried American soldiers must leave France as well.[11] Rusk recorded in his autobiography that de Gaulle did not respond when asked, "Does your order include the bodies of American soldiers in France's cemeteries?"[12][13]   From Rick Harman ('65) of VA - 06/07/10 - "Checking In": CAROL Every few years I check in.  I am probably one of the least active members of the site or maybe even the class.  I do enjoy reading updates and the various communications with the letters.  I actually went to the website for the first time in quite awhile today as I am home this afternoon.  I don’t know what you need from me, but you could publish my email which is different from the one listed; it is r.w.harman@cox.net, and also you have my permission to place my class photo in the alumni section, and my birthday is September 14th and you can place that somewhere when the time comes.   I do hope that I can make this year’s gathering in October.  I am supposed to go to California about the same time but hopefully I can get it worked out.  You are very good with this site and it is unbelievable.  We all owe you a debt of gratitude for doing this work. Thanks, Carol, and take care.      RICK                 Hey, Rick, it's good to hear from you! I was just thinking about you and all the kids who lived near us in the late 50's and all the fun we had during those innocent times: http://nnhs65.com/neighborhoods.html      http://nnhs65.com/stuart-homes.html    I switched your email addy on the contact page, and added your birthday to our roll: http://nnhs65.com/alumni-list.html      http://nnhs65.com/alumni-1963-to-1965.html http://nnhs65.com/Happy-Birthday.html    I would have bet some big bucks that your senior portrait had been scanned and posted years ago. Fortunately for me, I don't gamble..... I've added it now: http://nnhs65.com/yearbook.html      http://nnhs65.com/h.html    I hope you're able to make it to the Reunion this fall, Rick! From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 06/07/10 - "Tea Party Crowd Stunned": -----Beautiful - Gave me goose-bumps !! -----   Herman Cain led a Q&A session at the Douglas County Tea Party...the crowd was not expecting what happened next... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9_bP219ehQ - Tea Party Member Stuns Crowd!    Thank you so much, Norris! I added a bit of background to which Mr. Cain alluded: Monday, June 14, 1954 - FLAG DAY - The words "under God" were added to the United States Pledge of Allegiance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance Monday, July 30, 1956 - A Joint Resolution of Congress was signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower (b. 14 Oct 1890 in Denison, Texas), authorizing "In God We Trust" as the U.S. national motto. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust        From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA to       Dave Arnold ('65) of VA and      Me ('65) of IL - 06/07/10 - "Quisenberry": Do either of you recall any Typhoon(s) by the name of Quisenberry? While waiting in line at a Delta gate in La Guardia to be rebooked after several flight cancellations, I struck up a conversation with a couple. Most of us were there due to the cancellation of a flight to Norfolk, so it was logical to enquire. They were headed for Richmond, but the lady said that she had grown up in NN. Of course, we began zeroing in on common people, dates, and places. A few iterations later, she said she had grown up in East End and her mother had attended NNHS. I asked what year, she faltered, and I suggested that she do the math. She said her mother was 60, so guessed a class in the 66-69 time frame. I asked her mother’s name: Quisenberry. She said that she also had an uncle who attended. I said that the name sounded familiar. I just looked through my Anchors, but could find no one. Ring any bells??    It rings a bell, Captain, but a very faint one, indeed.....    "Anyone? Anyone?"    Thanks, David! From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 06/07/10 - "Check out YouTube - Ray Stevens - Come to the USA": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgOHOHKBEqE - Ray Stevens - Come to the USA    SAD GIGGLES! Thanks again, Norris!

My wife has not spoken to me in three days. I think it has something to do with what happened on Sunday night when she thought she heard a noise downstairs. She nudged me and whispered, "Wake up, wake up!" "What's the matter?" I asked. "There are burglars in the kitchen. I think they're eating the tuna casserole I made tonight." "That'll teach them!" I replied. ************* Flying United A flight attendant on a United Air Lines cross-country flight nervously announced: about 30 minutes outbound from LA, "I don't know how this happened, but we have 103 passengers aboard and only 40 dinners." When the passengers' muttering had died down, she continued, "Anyone who is kind enough to give up his meal so someone else can eat will receive free drinks for the length of the flight." Her next announcement came an hour later. "If anyone wants to change his mind, we still have 29 dinners available! DATES TO REMEMBER: 1.

Count Every Star

Written by Bruno Coquatrix (05 Aug 1910 - 01 Apr 1979), Sammy Gallop (16 Mar 1915 - 24 Feb 1971), and Michel

Recorded by Linda Scott (b. 01 June 1945), 1962

Count every star in the midnight sky
Count every rose, every firefly
For that's how many times I miss you
Heaven knows I miss you

Count every leaf on a willow tree
Count every wave on a stormy sea
Count every star and darling when you do
You'll know the times I have cried for you

Count every leaf on a willow tree
Count every wave on a stormy sea
Count every star and darling when you do
You'll know the times I have cried for you
