Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   I basically took a sick day today, and so this Newsletter is horribly chopped, and awaiting a better continuity in tomorrow's edition.

  From Jamie Douglas Bacon ('66) of VA - 06/11/06:

Thanks to    Bill Lee for the picture of his wife's class picture at Parkview and to Janie (Leigh Slack Lee) for the nice things that she said about my mom. My mom was always coming home from school with stories about her kids at Parkview. She talked a lot about the Luckado's, Crickenberger's, Deese's and the Phaup's. She loved all of them dearly. I can't remember all of them, but, I have lots of pictures from 1947-1976. She took a few years off to be Principal at a new school called Sedgefield , but her heart was at Parkview and later Carver. She taught two generations of some families. She loved all the kids from  the Newmarket area. I will try to figure out a way to send her picture.
 
My sister, Jeannie Douglas Adams, taught at Hilton , where my son and I went.  My brother-in-law taught English at NNHS.   His name is Dan Adams.
 
 They are both retired now. Jeannie from teaching in Danville, Va. Dan from flying commercial jets. They have two children and three grandchildren. They spend most of there time on their enormous boat, going up the intercoastal waterway.

   Well, we need to be adding him to our Famous Teacher pages, Jamey!  Please don't let me forget.  You know how my mind works - or fails to work, as the case may be.........

    From Eric Huffstutler (Bethel HS - '75) of VA - 06/11/06 - "NNHS Newsletter":

Carol,
 
You know, your website is sometimes like comfort food to me... the mashed potatoes of the Internet (if I may?).  But I do find myself occasionally overwhelmed with newsletters flowing in various proportions.  Sometimes we will see 2 or 3 a day, once a day, or once a week.  Personally, I would prefer one large newsletter per week over many, since often they are photo intensive and I truly don't have the time to read every one of them as they arrive. [now off my soap box] :-)

   Honey, I just don't know how we can get around that one.  It is precisely because the Newsletters have become heavily laden with images that we issue them more frequently.  If they were not broken down into these smaller segments, dial-up users - of whom there are many - would not even be able to open them.  We aim for five a week, but often there are more.  For instance, there will be a Fathers Day edition.  And I certainly wish people would keep living longer so I wouldn't have to create special Memorial Editions for them, but they don't seem to cooperate in that area.  Those are (I think) the only times we have more than one Newsletter a day.

   A couple of years back I tried to just have a Friday Newsletter.  It became so overwhelming, my son suggested it might be less stressful if I issued them more frequently.  While I was initially horrified at the prospect, it soon became obvious that he was right.  And that was before they contained any images whatsoever.  Those Plain-Jane issues take about one-sixth the time to create as these fancier editions, not counting any research which may be incurred - and there often is much involved which doesn't show.  But they're not nearly as much fun, and the inclusion of images was not really initiated by me, but was requested by others.

   Originally, the Newsletter simply alerted people to what was new on the site.  Now that the site requires who knows how long to view - certainly in excess of twelve hours - most people simply read the Newsletter, and take quick peeks at the pages cited.

   The main problem is time-management.  Obviously the way I issue Newsletters at surprise intervals is not very professional, but then, this isn't a real job.  The time I devote to it comes at strange stolen hours, and is often looked upon with, shall we say, less than a full measure of joy by my family members who seem to feel I should be devoting more time to them and less to this.  Therefore I arise at 5:00 AM to begin while most of them are still sleeping, and stay up later after they go to bed - and still never finish.

   For now, this is the best solution I have.  If you can't read every newsletter, or every section of every newsletter, you are certainly not alone.  But with more than 450 people as regular subscribers - not counting those who are unregistered users - I'm sure you'll understand that I can't please everyone all the time, no matter how hard I try.  And if you feel overwhelmed reading them, I feel like an overwhelmed Gumby trying to create them.

With that said, could I offer possibly another area of interest for discussion?

 
I have expanded on the Drive-In section but we often overlook the Television as part of our daily life and culture growing up.  Especially during a simpler era when local television stations did their own programming and had hosts of the shows.  Of particular interest to me are the horror shows such as "Shock Theater" "Chiller Theater" and "Creature Feature".  In the 1950s stations were mostly independent and even into the 1960s some continued that way, separate from syndicated network programming.  Even those who were part of the big three networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) still had pre and post primetime programming and their hosts became local icons of the day.  The invention of home video tapes and cable TV was the demise of these institutions.
 
Even though "Shock Theater" and others were hot shows across the country, the movies shown were usually anything but... mostly forgettable black and white fare made between 1930-1950 (but not always) by poverty row studios on shoestring budgets.  Made during the days when the Hays Office still dictated what studios could produce and the NAB Code of Ethics governed broadcasters pre 1974.  It was these clowns in macabre makeup giving their own brand of commentary that made the show and what people remember today, not the movies.
 
In Richmond, I can not find a reference for early horror hosted shows until 1970 when William "Bill" Bowman (aka The Bowman Body) hit the airwaves until 1979 on WXEX (now WRIC-TV).  Bill went on to excel in broadcasting and production to a point that the VA General Assembly passed a bill in 2005 recognizing him for his contributions.
 
I grew up in Newport News which is the Norfolk market and we had a couple of horror hosts.  Most multitasked such as station manager of WVEC-TV  Jerry Sandford (now living in Hampton).  He did Ronald for Shock Theater, Bungles the Clown during the afternoon kids show, and out of makeup hosted various local game shows such as Bingo for Be-Lo's super markets.  Unfortunately the pressures must have gotten to him as these shows were "live" and he would occasionally show up on the set after having a drink or two.  Though funny at the time, he quickly disappeared from the screen.  I remember it and again, it was the "hosts" and not the show that people do remember.  Jerry Harrell (aka Dr. Madblood on WAVY-TV) was another local horror host and Bill's cohort and even switched places once on their shows.  As far as I know Harrell is still doing the character on public broadcast stations and does some work at ODU.  He is also a professional magician and former Bozo the clown.
 
I was surprised to see that when Vampira was hitting the airwaves in Los Angeles 1954, Richmond only had 1 (one) television station at the time - WTVR (channel 6)  which went off the air at 12:10am.  There was another station received but it was WTAR (channel 3) from Norfolk. 

   I thought surely you were forgetting WRVA, but according to Wikipedia:

WRVA-TV signed on for the first time on April 29, 1956.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWBT-TV

It wasn't until the mid 50s that the area had 3 network stations and the movies that showed horror was the Million Dollar Movie (channel 8) and The Big Picture (channel 6) but did not see the usual hosted shows?  The newspaper also had a full page of ads for walk in and drive-in movies.  I think there were at least a half dozen Drive-Ins here at that time.  As a kid in Newport News I remember as late as the 60s television stations going off the air at sundown with the old RCA Indian Head Test Pattern burned into the tube while others continued after midnight.  It depended on the day of the week when the station went off the air which made alternate means of entertainment popular.

 
I currently have about 1,000 DVDs which is heavy on the classic horror and sci-fi genre including many of the movies shown by these horror hosts.
 
What are your memories?  I will be glad to elaborate on my memories and offer any information about movies from this era.

   This sounds logical and good to me, Eric!  I am and always have been a  TV junkie of the highest degree.

   I think this old clipping I found is all we have pertaining to the subject at the moment, but we can certainly fix that, I'm quite sure!

   Thanks, Eric!

  From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 06/11/06 - "You got it!":

Hi, Carol:
 
Your comments in today's newsletter were amusing. You really did not get my drift the first time around about the confluence of the Indian River into Hampton Roads. All my subtle efforts at humor seem to fail. Oh, well.

   Not at all, Sweet Adonis.  I'm sure it wasn't lost on anyone else but me.  I was simply too busy obsessing and feeling inadequate to catch it initially.

 
Just as I began reading the newsletter we started to receive the effects of our first tropical storm, Alberto in the Tampa Bay area. Some much needed rain brought relief to the drought, but dread at the same time when we read this headline:

Tropical Storm Alberto, in Gulf of Mexico, could hit Florida on Tuesday

 
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   YOWZERONI!!!  You Floridians take care!   Thanks, Joe!

 


From One of my Famous Marines -    Herb Hice of MI, who served in the Pacific Theater
during WWII - 06/11/06 - "Dear Carol, Being 80 yrs old":

Dear Carol,

You were very receptive with my last E-Mail on aging, so I thought I would send along another letter from the files of Ann Landers.
 

 
  This was in the paper a few years back and I found it most interesting. I tried to read all of Ann Landers daily articles. She had a lot of common sense to pass along and she was very funny at times with her responses.

Your Friend, Herbie

   I've always been a big Ann Landers fan myself, Herbie!  Thanks for sharing this with us, Sweetie!

 
     
     


  From Paula Sturtevant Comstock ('62) of TX - 06/11/06 - "Hi from Texas!":

Hi Carol,

Just had to tell you that I loved the picture of you and your granddaughter - I use to do that with my son, who is now 6' 5', 290 lbs, 24 yrs old - guess I won't be doing that anytime soon!

   You know, Paula, I can still remember my mama playing "Lean Back" with me!  And I did it with all seven our my children, and eight of my nine grandchildren (I haven't met the ninth one in person yet - sniff-sniff, boo-hoo....).  I see your son is like unto my own - "Giant Economy Size"!  GIGGLES!!!

I found the other names for the TDK Sorority and it was fun to look back through stuff.  Names are:  Patty Walsh (62); Debbie Holton (62); Annette Rouse (64); and Kay Gillespie (64) and it was founded in 1959.

   Thanks, Paula!  I posted those additions: 

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/fraternities-sororities.html

     http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/frat-soro-TDK.html

   Now do you remember the colors???

 
It was so nice to see    Pam Larmer (Traugott's - '62 - of VA) entry about 17th street.  We did have a wonderful street and there were other kids on that block that went to NNHS too.  Billy Minick ('59) lived beside Pam and Billy and Pat ('62) Stambaugh lived closer to the shopping center at the end of the street.  Living beside Zatha (Franks - '62) were Dorothea ('59) and Margaret Ann Sloop and their father was minister of the Lutheran Church in the 1950's.  They moved to Maryland before I left in January of 1962.  Beside them were the Jeffers, and Susie ('62) was my best friend from when we were little until midway through high school.  I remember her mother's 'doll cakes' - she would put a 'Vogue doll" in the center and make a cake skirt - they do it now with Barbies, but I think she 'invented' it!  She would let us lick the bowl - what a sweet memory.  I also remember her little brother, Scotty ('68).  He was so 'tough' - when he was learning to ride a two- wheeler, he would crash into something and fall off in order to stop.  I can remember my mother saying, there goes Scotty, hope he doesn't crash.

   WOWZERS!!!  Sara Jeffers was my mama's best friend.  They lived at 965 - 17th Street.  Those cakes of hers were legendary!

   You might get a kick out of the picture of Scotty in his choir robes on this page:

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/trinity-methodist.html
 

Patty Larsen and her brother lived on the corner at the other end of the street and her mother use to give out candied apples to her 'favorite children' in the neighborhood on Halloween (funny how you remember when you don't get something - ha).
 
Seventeen kids (and more that I didn't know) on that block and so many memories that they would fill a million hearts.  When I think back now, it really was a charmed childhood.  Sure there were heartaches and problems, but the adults seem to protect us from unnecessary/unpleasant information (unlike the world today) and there was an innocence to daily life. 

   It was indeed a magical time, and we were truly blessed to be living there then.  I'll try to make that "Our Old Neighborhoods" page soon.....

Enough of this tome, hope you're having a nice Sunday (I'm listening to Toby Keith and yes, I know you love him too!).

   Oh, I am that, Paula!  I used one of his songs as a Newsletter theme once:

Love, Paula

   Thanks so much, Paula!  It's always a joy to hear from you!

 


    From Tim Rogers (Hampton HS - '66) of VA - 06/11/06 - "Skeeter Beach":

Hi Carol,

You made mention of Skeeter Beach. As I recall it was located between Wythe Parkway and Chesterfield Road on Chesapeake Avenue and of course, on the water side. A dirt/sand road went down to the beach, there were two or three small trees and a old shack. Boy, that was a long time ago!

   AT LAST!!!  We have pinpointed the exact location!  Thanks so much, Tim!  I made it a brand new page, and mapped it on the East End page:

Also, does anyone remember Beer Can Alley? Located at the very south end of Chesapeke (correct spelling) Avenue in Merrimac Shores.

   "Anyone? Anyone?"

   Thanks again, Tim!

 


  From Glenn Dye ('60) of TX - 06/11/06:

Carol

I read about the different neighborhoods that different ones of you lived in. I guess you would say that the group that lived close to 24th Street and Parrish Avenue was a lot of fun too. Here are the names that I remember: Elaine Wilkinson ('61), David Wilkinson, A.D. Strickland ('62), Faith Strickland ('64), Linda Baker, Brenda Baker, Brenda Mays, Frank Ivey ('59), Dennis Ivey ('65), Butch Bolden ('62), Ricky Phelps, Eric Aucoin ('62), and me,   Glenn Dye ('60). There were some more, but I just went blank on names

Glenn Dye Typhoon forever.

   I really will try to make that "Our Old Neighborhoods" page soon, Glenn.  I remember that section of town well enough.  Surely it had a name, didn't it???

   "Anyone? Anyone?"

   Thanks, Glenn!

 


  From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 06/12/06 - "Cole Porter...":

Thank you so much for the Cole Porter newsletter...it was "de-lovely"!  By the way if you missed the movie, it was great.

  Didn't    David (Spriggs - '64 - of VA) do such a marvelous job with that music, Jean?!?  And no,   Eleanor (Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of NC) and I have neither one seen that movie, though we're both trying desperately to remedy that at the moment.  I thought surely she had seen it, as she's an even bigger Kevin Kline fan than she is a Cole Porter fan - and that's saying something! 

   David sent me this link, which has only strengthened my resolve to get the movie:

   Thanks, Lady!

  From Christine Wilson Starkman ('68) of CA - 06/12/06 - "Check out Wilber Huston, 93,
Dies; 'Brightest Boy' in 1929 - New York Times":

Hi Carol,
 
I thought this was interesting. Mr. Huston had a NASA connection and lived in the area for a time.
 
By the way, my best-friend-across-the-street (JoAnne Fay)'s father worked at NASA. In Newport News, this was pronounced N-A-S-A, as in "My daddy works at N-A-S-A." In the rest of the world and on the evening news, it was always "Nasa."

   Our sympathies are extended to Mr. Huston's family.

   Thanks, Christine!  I remember the "N-A-S-A" thing - and it predecessor - "N-A-C-A", too!

Tell Me Why

Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, 1964

(The Beatles)
 

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to treat me oh so bad
All I do is hang my head and moan

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

If there's something I have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

Well I'm beggin' on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything I can do
'cause I really can't stand it
I'm so in love with you

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
