My second

Harty of IL:
From My #1 Daughter-in-Law,
Mary Bennett Harty (Litchfield HS,
IL - '89) of IL - 07/06/08:
Hi,
The doctors are pleased and a
little surprised I think at how well Rachel's leg has healed. She is doing
great! They gave her a boot to wear because we are going to Girl's Camp
next week. She starts physical therapy the week after we get back. They
were surprised by the range of movement she had when they took off the
cast. She has a follow up appointment in a month.
Love,
Mary
SUPER-DE-DUPER!
Thank you, Miss Mary - and give
Rachel a big hug and a kiss for me, too!

Marshall HS - '25),
Rose
(Woodard Groff - '65),
(Carol) Faith (De Arment Blankenship - '61 - of
VA), Stuart Gardens, and
various buildings in the city where I was
born. I also like seeing your family as it allows me a little insight into my
cousins and their children's lives we would not have been privy to, otherwise.
Since you are my aunt and as such I may be slightly biased, I know all have to
agree that you have much talent and work hard to send out nice, sometimes
inspirational or humorous, pretty newsletters. I know the obituaries alone
must be hard work."This too shall pass."
Thank you so much,
Shari - I hope everything's all better now, too!
From John Murden ('60) of VA - 07/06/08 - "Photo update":
Carol,
I have come to the conclusion that one can't stay 18 years of age forever - except on the NNHS website!
Oh, say it isn't so!!! It's such a pleasant "reality"! 
|
|
So I am providing you a more recent photo of me to use however you may.
Good shot! Thanks, John!
I'd recognize you anywhere - even with the beard!

The facial hair is a "retirement project" started last September and retained at the urging of my dear wife. Before, she had urged me to remove self-encouraged growth on my part when she was away on trips. Goes to show that there are all sorts of perks to retirement! Now, if we can get our youngest through college so my wife can retire …!
I want also to thank those who comforted me after the passing of my brother. I received condolences from classmates near and far, and want them all to know how much their thoughtfulness is appreciated.

I'm not going to tell you my birthday, but I was born three days after Pearl Harbor …
AHA - a combined history AND math test - MORE GIGGLES!!! Fortunately, I was able to decipher that one all by myself, so I added your name to that page:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html
Thank you, Carol, for all you do to lift our spirits while keeping us up on what Typhooners are doing.
Best always,
John
Thank you, John! I appreciate that!
From Tom Norris (Hampton HS -'73) of VA -
07/06/08 - "met
Dale Lucado
('68 - of VA) yesterday plus other stuff":
Hi Carol ... had the opportunity to meet Dale Lucado yesterday at the Mustang
show on Mellen Street in Phoebus. I was DJing along
with live music by the Jimmy Jones band ... I dedicated "Don't Leave Me Girl" by
Danny & The Delnotes (how many DJs actually have a copy of that one!) to him and
the NNHS class of '68 .. wonderful man and a pleasure to chat with.
Saw
Bobby Turpin ('58 - of VA) at the Yorktown car show on July 4th ... didn't get a
change to chat with him ... did talk with
Dave Arnold ('65 - of VA) for a bit ... as well as Howard Hodnett ('45 - of VA) who was at
BOTH shows (he sure gets around!).
If you're caught up yet (???) I still have some stuff to scan and send you for
the website ... NNHS-Suffolk football programs from the late 1950s, as well as
some HHS stuff from the era that folks might like. Redecorating my home (AKA
'museum') so some stuff is boxed away .. but when you're ready let me know :-).
Take care ...
Da Babe
What fun, seeing everyone that way!
Well, Tommee, I gotta tell
ya - I think chances are excellent I ain't nebbah gonna git caught up - so ya
might as well start sending me images anyway. Just please split them in
batches of two or three so they won't short-circuit whatever's left of my feeble mind
as I try to process them!
Really,
we'd love to have them - thanks, Babe!

(#2 Daughter-in-Law)
Bethany's (Winona Harty

Siuslaw HS, OR - '94 - of OH)
art sales, which means she
moved out and has a job!).
They do all seem to be doing well and leading exciting lives at the moment, Norm!

Bethany didn't really move out; she's a busy
stay-at-home mom, home-schooling her five children - but she did begin a
home-based business, primarily online: http://elegantwordart2.blogspot.com/

| Brent, Bethany, Jacob, Thomas, Emeline, Joe, and Jimmy Harty |
I've been on a bit of hiatus since bragging in May about my 12-month period of no hospitalization. I've been getting my cardiac ventricle rewired, and am doing well once more.
 |
 |
While perusing the teacher pages I noted you have no pictures of Miss
Ellena Armistead (see attached), who was my seventh-grade teacher at
John W. Daniel Elementary (1955-56). She was especially patient
and kind with me. She once stayed after school to check on my welfare in
the nurse's office after I chased a fly kick ball on the playground. I
watched the ball and collided head first with the basketball pole,
knocking me unconscious. Maybe she gave me a break on my final grades
because of verifiable brain damage!
YIKES!!! |
|
| 1960 Anchor, p. 110 | 1963 Anchor, p. 15 | ||
She went on to teach history and geography, plus guidance counselor at NNHS. She was a good teacher and warm person. I wonder if any information exists on where she might have gone/is today.
Norm Covert ('61) MD
Thanks for the nudge and the great
recollection, Norm!
Encouraged by not finding Miss Armistead on the SSDI, I ran her name through whitepages.com, and BINGO!

"Opening Ceremonies Flag Jump
The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends
"The Final Roundup"
Rickenbacker International Airport
Columbus, Ohio
Friday September 28, 2007
IN THIS VIDEO, watch as one jumper exits from the Cessna 182 jump aircraft and
deploys the American flag while the national anthem is played. The jumper is
being circled by the four PT-17 Stearmans of the Red Baron Squadron, and as he
makes his decent upon Rickenbacker International Airport, a flight of three P-51
Mustangs makes a pass down the show line (behind the flag) to help open up the
Friday show. The jumper featured in the video is Paul McCowan, the founder of
the E Team Skydivers, based in Ohio. His site is at
http://www.eteamskydivers.com."
