	06/12/09 - NNHS Newsletter - Wind of Change “We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mister Gorbachev, open this gate. Mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   It's a well known fact that I inexplicably became a rabid Frank Sinatra fan about ten years ago.  What is less well known is that I've always been a huge Scorpions fan.

   As today marks the 22nd anniversary of Ronald Reagan's famous cry, "Mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall!", I thought it would be a good time to recall this day in world history.  And one of the most entertaining ways to do this is by watching this fabulous Scorpions video:

   For Randolph's 35th Birthday today, I've made his favorite cake.  It does not lend itself well to candles.

  From Bill Lee (Warwick HS - '54) of NC - 06/10/09 - "Shipyard Apartments":

I'm sure many people have many memories of those apartments. My parents, my older brother and I lived there around 1939/1940. I was too young to remember the place, but have photos of tiny tots in front of the 48th Street building that my mother took. I think some of them have names on the back.  Will dig them out, soon, and share, if you like. Meanwhile, attached is one that I have handy, which my brother took out the window in the winter of 1939/1940, looking toward the shipyard, where he had begun his apprenticeship (he had finished high school - but not on the Peninsula - in 1939). That's his first car in the foreground.

   Thanks, Bill! We'd love to see some others, too! I posted this one here:

			We celebrated our grandson    Carson Monroe Hope's 1st birthday at our family reunion in Lowesville, VA. He turned 1 May 22. He was also dedicated on May 24 at Piney River Baptist Church, where my granddad was ordained deacon in 1911! As you can see from the pic, he prayed along with the family....melts my heart! He pulled his socks off during the dedication and laughed along with everyone else. He will have a sibling in October! YEA, another grandchild! Peace & Blessing, Cheryl

----------- Couple, 93 and 89, wed in Florida -------------

PALM BEACH, Fla. - A 93-year-old Florida man married his 89-year-old sweetheart after a brief courtship that followed about 20 years of friendship, the man says. Ebenezer Rose, 93, whose previous wife of 58 years, Bernice, died about four years ago, said he met his new bride, Monica Hayden, 89, about 20 years ago in church, the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post reported Monday.

"She had eyes on me all these years," he said of his bride, whose previous husbands are both deceased. "By God's grace, we're here."

Rose said he proposed to Hayden about six months ago and the couple tied the knot Sunday at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Palm Beach.

"I told her, `Each of us is living a lonely life. Why not get married?'" he recalled. The newly minted Mrs. Rose, wearing white gloves, a beaded shawl and a glittering tiara, said the ceremony was "beautiful." "It was more than I expected," she said.

   AWWW! Thanks, Shari!

    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 06/10/09 - "MB Washington":

Hi, Carol:

We had a delightful week when   Eva (Ellis Madagan - '61 - of FL) and I attended the Picnic at the Newport News Park for NNHS Class of 1957.

   Wilma (Salmon) Robinson (Warwick HS - '51 - of VA) is as beautiful as ever, and we really had fun catching up with the TYPHOON.

The evening before, we attended The Evening Parade at Marine Barracks, Washington, DC with my fellow recruits of Platoon 276, Parris Island, 1957 and two of our Drill Instructors. One of our Drill Instructors was assigned to this post before he became a Drill Instructor, so it was a special evening for him. He carried the USMC Banner for these parades and ceremonies. He is a retired USMC Major living in California now. A Great Event!!!    COOL BEANS!!!

Then off to Pennsylvania to lavish love on our six grandchildren, children of Joe III and Carol Montgomery Madagan.

TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   GREAT NEWS INDEED! Thanks for sharing it, Adonis!

      From My Niece, Shari, of VA -  06/10/09:

There have been many,
many times when I may have
disturbed you, 
troubled you, 
pestered you, 
irritated you, 
bugged you or got on your nerves with all the e-mails I send, 

So today I just wanna tell you that... 

I PLAN TO CONTINUE !!

   But of course! Thanks again, Shari!

FINALLY:

      From Dimples Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC - 06/10/09 - "WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING":

Carol,

Some reasons why you should always shop with the girls !  This is a true Classic !

Dimples aka Sepi
 

WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.                   

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter  from the local Target..                                            

Dear Mrs. Samsel,                                                                                   

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our  store.. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Samsel, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.                 

                                                                                                  
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.                          

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.                 

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.                          

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, "Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away."                         

This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor, that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.                      

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.                                  

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.                               

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.                 

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"                      
EMTs were called.                                                                                  

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.                          

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.                         

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.                        

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.                        

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled "PICK ME! PICK ME!"                        

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed, "OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!"                    

And last, but not least:                                                                           
                                                                                                   
15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, "Hey! There's no toilet paper in here."                                                                                               
One of the clerks passed out.

   Thanks, Dimples! Mr. Samsel sounds like a real fun kind of guy!

Wind of Change

Words and Music by Klaus Meine, 1990
(b. 25 May 1948)

(Scorpions)
 

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
