“Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away. - Louise Erdrich(b. 7 June 1954) |
|
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's birthday is a new one for us to observe, though we did use this song theme before, just over a year ago:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/04-25-07-NNHS-If-Ever-I-Would-Leave-You.html
(10 June 1901 - 14 Feb 1988)From http://www.oconnormusic.org/composers-l.htm:
Frederick "Fritz" Loewe lived
from 1904 until 1988. He was a composer, born in Vienna, Austria and at age 13
he was the youngest pianist to solo with the Berlin Symphony. At age 15 he
composed Katrina (1919), which sold two million copies of sheet music in
Europe. Although he had studied with great European masters of the piano, when
he came to the U.S.A. in 1924 he failed as a piano virtuoso. He took up a series
of odd jobs--prospecting for gold, professional boxing--but by the mid-1930s he
had launched his career as a composer for the musical theater. Not until he
teamed up with lyricist
Alan Jay Lerner
in 1942, however, did he find his true talent; their first big success was
Brigadoon (1947) and this was followed by such classic stage and film
musical scores as My
Fair Lady (1956), Gigi (1958), and Camelot (1960). This
last led to their falling-out and they did not collaborate again until in 1973
when they made a stage version of their film musical, Gigi. Their last
collaboration was The Little Prince (1974), after which Loewe retired.
If ever I would leave you from Camelot won him a
Grammy Award

HEALTH UPDATE:
From Richard Rawls ('71) of VA - 06/09/08 -
"Tommy ('61) and Fran (Heath) Scott ('62)":
Carol,
It is my understanding that Tommy and Fran Scott are still at home recovering. I am sure they would love receiving cards/notes from NNHS friends.
Their address is:
Tommy & Fran Scott
11 Rutledge Road
Newport News, VA 23601-2422
Thanks,
Richard (’71) – recently retired from NASA after 37 years !!! Now consulting $$$
J. Richard Rawls
Thank you for the update and address, Richard - and congratulations on your
retirement!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL to
Bobby Turpin ('58) of VA - 06/07/08 - "Basketball State Championship Trophies":
Coach Bill Chambers when he called to thank me for getting you in
touch with him so the two trophies could be shipped to him. Needless to say,
he was thrilled.
Willie ('57) to be caring men.
Carol Buckley Harty
('65 - of NC), as it involves Coach Chambers. So, if
you do not want this plastered around the TYPHOON Nation, you
best reply fast to Carol to tell her to stop the presses.
WOWZERONI!!! Thanks, Joe - you expressed that beautifully!
I'm so sorry you were unable to make it to your reunion picnic.....
From Doug Nelson ('64) of
VA - 06/07/08 - "
Charles Snead ('64 - of NC) and
Thomas Jefferson":
Hi Carol,
I enjoyed reading Charlie's remembrances in your last newsletter:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/06-07-08-NNHS-Tom-Jones-68th-Birthday.html
particularly his memories of Thomas Jefferson Elementary School.
As I have written in the past, I attended the first and second grade there. I
do not remember Miss (Marie) Suttle there, but I do remember Charlie.
One of my memory fragments from that time is of Charlie racing across the
playground on his crutches. I remember being amazed that he could move faster
on those than just about any boy could run. Charles and I were not in the same
classes at T. J. I only saw him on the playground at recess and lunch. But as
I recall we were friends.
Doug
Thank you,
Doug!
I'm glad to know I'm
not the only one with memory fragments!

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL to
Bill Black ('66) of GA - 06/07/08 - "Your trip to the Virginia Peninsula.":
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL to
Bill Black ('66) of GA - 06/08/08 - "Cool Change":
Hi, Bill:
Thanks for the response, and I am glad I clarified my use of the song title
"Cool Change" in my earlier message to indicate sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. I
was almost positive it would be among one of your favorite songs.
Sorry you did not have time for sailing on the smooth seas during your trip.....
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL to
Bill Black ('66) of GA - 06/09/08:
Hi, Bill:
.....Well, allow me to expand your taste in music. "Cool Change" was recorded by
the Little River Band. To paraphrase the opening line, "If there is one
thing missing in my life it is sailing on the clear cool water" and I guess that
line grabs me.
Stay safe in LaGrange!!!
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
I'm so glad you explained that reference,
Joe, because it had gone right over my head. Big Surprise
there, n'est pas? 
I found this video on YouTube which was only
posted on 05/28/08. I thought you and all the others onboard who've ever been
sailing would enjoy it:

Thanks, Adonis!
From Richard Dawes (NNHS / HHS - '62) of VA - 06/08/08 - "Five New Boyfriends":
I have become a little older since I saw you last and a few changes have come into my life since then. Frankly, I have become a frivolous old gal. I am seeing 5 gentlemen every day and working on seeing the sixth one.
As soon as I wake up.
Will Power
helps me get out of bed.
Then I go to see John.
Then Charlie Horse
comes along and when he is here he takes a lot of my time and attention.
When he leaves, Art Ritis
shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place
very long, so he takes me from joint to joint.
After such a busy day, I'm really tired and glad to go to bed with
Ben Gay.
What a life!
Oh yes, I'm also flirting with Al
Zymer.
P.S. The preacher came to call the other day. He said at my age I should be
thinking of the hereafter.
I told him, "Oh, I do it all the time. No matter where I am in the house,
upstairs, kitchen, or basement, I ask myself, "Now, what am I here after?"
Thanks,
Dicky!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 06/09/08 - "Nomination for the Famous Marine
page.":
Robert "Bob" Hedrick of Virginia Beach, VA for the Famous Marine
page. He served on Sea Duty in the Marine Detachment, USS Valley Forge. Of
course, Sir!
No, Bobby is not one of my subscribers. I did see him last fall at
Evelyn's Birthday Party for All of Us, but as I arrived late and he left early,
I was not able to speak with him:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-29-07-EVELYNS-PARTY.html
Nor did I know he was in the Marine Corps, but I have added him to that page now:

From Donna Chadwell Nunemaker ('64) of FL and VA - 06/09/08:
WOWZERONI,
you saw Tom Jones! I'm impressed! Thanks so much for letting me know, Donna!
Someone just asked me if anyone actually liked all these various celebrity
birthdays we were observing, and thanks to your note, I was able to respond,
"Well, yes!", instead of my customary, "Wal, I dunno!"
From
Wayne
Stokes'
('65) of VA - 06/09/08:
http://www.learnenglish.org.uk/games/magic-gopher-central.swf
Dave (Spriggs - '64 - of VA)
responded immediately with the answer and
Edna (Whitcomb Harrison - '65 - of VA)
soon followed.
Sepi (Dinwiddie Prichard - '58 - of NC)
also had an idea that it had something to "... do with the number 9".
GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Wayne Honey!
I could tell from your original posting that you knew the answer - and I
could tell as soon as I looked at it that I was probably not going to
know the answer anytime before the dawning of the millennium.....

From the 1962 Broadway musical, "Camelot"
Words and Music by Alan J. Lerner and Frederick Loewe
(Robert Goulet)
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame
But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn and I must be there
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
No, never could I leave you at all
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
No, never could I leave you at all
