Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's birthday celebration comes to us via suggestion from one of my favorite people:
From My #5 Son,
Nathaniel Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL
- '97) of IL - 06/18/08 - "Newsletter stuff":
Here is my blurb about Bruce
Campbell as his birthday is the 22nd.
http://bftdlister.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/bruce-campbell/ :
Bruce Campbell
|
Bruce Campbell is a legend among
cult movie/TV fans. He got his first cult following with the trilogy of
cult classics:
The Evil Dead,
Evil Dead II, and
Army of Darkness. Then he got an extension to his fan base with the
oft-hilarious
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. He stayed in the world of campy
television with a character that was used in both
Xena: Warrior Princess and
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. He didn’t venture far from his tried
and true format with
Jack of All Trades. I actually bought the series collection as it only
lasted one season. Some of his other movie work includes a bit part in The Majestic as the actor in Peter Appleton’s movie. Sam Raimi, who made the Evil Dead movies, brought Campbell along for the ride with small parts in Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, and Spider-Man 3. I watched the first one, but Kirsten Dunst effectively drove me away and Toby Maguire might be the worst actor ever. Campbell also made an appearance in Sky High as the P.E. teacher, and starred in Bubba Ho-tep as Elvis. It seems he played himself in My Name is Bruce, a film in which he is mistaken for being a real fighter of monsters (from the Evil Dead series) and therefore employed by a small Oregonian town to fend off the monsters that plague them. Apparently, he is also back on TV with Burn Notice which I have never heard of, but might last a while on USA. Even though Campbell is getting up there in age, I still feel that he could easily pull off the leading man. I don’t know if he’s been typecast or just prefers the roles he takes, but either way his career has been anything but a failure. The guy is a legend. Campbell is 49. |
Feel free to steal the picture, as
I did. Here is the Old Spice commercial he did during which he sings Duran
Duran's "Hungry Like a Wolf" which you could then use for the midi theme.

a Wolf
Thank you so much, Faniel!
I've been a big fan of
Bruce's since the Brisco County Jr. series back in '93/'94:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Brisco_County%2C_Jr.
I'm sorry y'all missed Burn Notice last summer; it was one of my very favorite shows. The new season is set to begin again on USA on July 10.
For those of y'all who are new to the class, it was Nathaniel who insisted that I begin this webpage almost eight years ago, when it was a most audacious idea, I assure you And it was Nathaniel who ran the site for the first four months until he taught me what I needed to know to take over the job myself. It was Nathaniel who built me this computer and restocked all its files three years ago when my motherboard decided it had had enough and quit. Without Nathaniel, we would not be here doing what we do.
Thanks
again, Faniel!

From Karrin Williams Frankie (Warwick - '61) of VA - 06/20/08 - "Old Friends from old neighborhood":
Two Saturday’s ago several of us who had stayed up ALL Night for the NN Relay for Life went to Golden Corral to eat. Joe noticed a man parking an older model VET and had to talk to him as Joe has a ’01 yellow T-Top Vet. While we were standing in line, the man was behind me and as we all were talking (another man in our group has a ’02 Vet also) I looked at this man and told him he looked familiar.
Guess who??? Allen West! I had met him before about 15 plus years ago up at the pottery where he had a booth selling items and I bought a Precious Moment figurine.
Allen and his wife still live up in NN not far from me. Back in 1968 when I was leaving the Daily Press his wife took my place. Small world.
Asked about Howard and he said he doesn’t know where he is and has not talked to him in over 10 years.
Thanks,
Karrin! I don't believe I know any of the people you
mentioned, but I'm always thrilled to hear of "chance" meetings and small world
stories; they make life so much sweeter!

From Elaine Wilkinson Bracken ('61) of VA - 06/20/08 - "Write
it on the back of your envelopes":
Write it on the back of your envelopes...
WRITE IT ON THE BACK OF YOUR ENVELOPES or
front!
WE THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. WE'LL START WRITING IT ON
THE FRONT OF
OUR ENVELOPES, TOO, Including
Bills.
..... We heard proposed on a radio
station show, that we should all write 'IN GOD WE TRUST' on
the back of all our mail. After all, that's our National
Motto, and it's on all the money we use to buy those
stamps. We think it's a wonderful idea.
We must take back our nation from all the people who think
that anything that offends them should be removed.
If you like this idea, please pass it on and DO IT. The
idea of writing or stamping 'IN GOD WE TRUST' on
our envelopes sounds good to us . WE'RE
HAVING A STAMP MADE TOO! Heck, let's use it as our
signature on e-mails too!
It's been reported that 86% of Americans believe in God.
Therefore, we have a very hard time understanding why
there's such a mess about having 'In God We Trust!' on
our money and having God in the pledge of Allegiance.
Could it be that WE just need to take action and tell the
14% to 'sit down and shut up?'
If you agree, pass this on, if not, forget it!!! BUT
REMEMBER IF YOU FORGET THIS, that's one reason why this
world is in the mess we're in now - BECAUSE WE SIT BACK
AND LET IT HAPPEN!
Amen! Thanks, Elaine!

From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of
VA - 06/21/08 - "Check your License Plate":
INFO FROM A STATE TROOPER.... PLEASE READ!!!!!
A woman said her son found his license plate missing so he called the police to file a report.
They told him people were stealing the plates to get free gas.
Given the rise in gas prices, people have taken to stealing license plates, putting them on their car, then getting gas and running.
The gas station will have 'your' license plate # and you could be in trouble for 'pump and run.'
Check your car periodically to be sure you still have a plate. If you should find it missing file a report immediately!!!
Keep an eye on your license plate! Make sure you always know it's there!
When the license plate is reported as the 'drive off vehicle', it's YOU they contact!
Be aware!!!! Be aware of your license plates, most of us never look to see if the plates are there or not.
PLEASE PASS ON
Thanks, Joyce!
I was so busy running a plethora of items through snopes.com, that I
didn't check this one, because it's actually just good common sense to be aware
of your property for a variety of reasons.

Words and Music by Duran Duran, 1982
Dark in the city night is a wire
Steam in the subway earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman you want me give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd.
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you.
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood Drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
