Hello

Q: I have several Web sites where I post JPG and GIF files. These images
always show up on other computers, but not always on mine. On your site,
there is a large blank area where your picture should be. I hate going
to another computer to check my sites. Any suggestions?
![]() A: First, make sure that your browser is not set to block images. In Internet Explorer, click Tools>>Options. Select the Advanced tab. Under Multimedia, find the "Show pictures" option. Make sure that it is checked. Then click OK. In Firefox, click Tools>>Options. Select Content from the menu. Make sure that the "Load Images" option is checked. Then click OK. Also take a look at security settings. Some images are coded with ActiveX or _JavaScript. This may be happening if you use an editing program. High security settings may disable ActiveX or _JavaScript, disabling the images. For example, if I set my Security setting in Internet Explorer to High, my picture disappears. (I keep that setting on Medium.) To find that setting, click Tools>>Internet Options. Select the Security tab. Select the Internet icon (the globe). Click Default Level. Then click Custom Level. Your security setting will be there. You can also fine-tune ActiveX settings there. When finished, click OK>>OK. In Firefox, click Tools>>Options. Select Content from the menu. The checkbox labeled "Enable _JavaScript" should be checked. Fine-tune the _JavaScript settings by using the Advanced button. Finally, click OK.
Firewalls can also block images. Most firewalls include
an ad-blocking feature. That can stop both wanted and unwanted images.
Some even have settings to block images by size. Check your firewall's
user guide to find and adjust these features. |

Carol,
..... the wonderful
website you have going to connect us Typhoons. You are
incredible!!! You make
Martha Stewart
look handicapped.
GIGGLES!!! Thanks,
Elaine!
Our 45-year class reunion was absolutely grand - especially the tour of NNHS. Wish you could have been there, for I do want to meet you. Ohhh, and I had sooooo wanted to be there! Of course, I remember you from high school, but you never knew who I was, and I had looked forward to meeting you as well. Perhaps I'll be able to make it there next year! Sincerely, Elaine Wilkinson Bracken P. S. Please add my e-mail to "THE WEB" - e_bracken@verizon.net That I did, Elaine - and
thanks so much!

Hi Carol -
A true story from my mis-spent
youth. Some may remember those Saturday double-features at
The Warwick.

A dog named Bullet ...
When I was nine, living
on Galax Street near Copeland Park,
with my parents help I entered a contest to name Roy Roger's new animal, a
German Shepherd dog. The dog was to be in all future
Roy Rogers
movies. I love dogs! |
Years, maybe! Well I'm not one to ever hold a grudge or anything, but to this very day; my favorite cowboy is Lash Larue, I, nor any of my children or grand-children will ever eat that krappy cereal, and I'm hoping that 'Trigger' has moths! |

Joe Madagan ('57)
of FL - 07/10/06 - "In Memoriam NNHS Class
of 1961":
Hi, Carol:
In reading the booklet distributed at the Class of
1961 Reunion the following TYPHOON need to be added to this page:
Beryl Barkley
William Bost
George Helmer
Charles Jennings
Ann Rinehart
Lois Rowe
Verlin Smith
Carolyn Stephenson
George Whitmore
Marlene McSweeney
No details are given, only their names and
photographs from "The Anchor"
Sad news to be bring you, but I know you like to
have the site as accurate as possible.
Always,
Adonis
'Tis a hard thing to see all their names at once, Sweet Adonis, but you're right. I've been trying to locate that list for years. I've added their names and activities, but have not yet scanned their portraits any more than I ever finished those for the Class of 1956. I shall give them both top priority as soon as I'm able: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/memoriam-all.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/memoriam56.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/memoriam61.html Thanks again, Joe!

From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 07/11/06:
Carol, My son, Maj. Chandler S. Nelms, USMC, sent the following to me and I thought I’d share it with all of our friends.
Dad, I was reminded of this quote yesterday in
an obituary of a young Navy Seal who was USNA
'04. These are truly words to live by... |
||
“Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."
- Tecumseh

Thank you so much for sharing this quotation. I think I had only seen a
portion of it before. It's certainly a good one to keep in mind.
Please thank Chad for all of us. Wait a sec. Doesn't this quotation have special significance for USNA students and alumni? Let's see: |
||
The original wooden figurehead was sent to the Naval Academy in 1866 after being salvaged from the wreck of the old ship of the line "Delaware," which had been sunk at Norfolk during the Civil War to prevent her from falling into Confederate hands. The builders of the "Delaware" intended the figurehead to portray Tamanend, the great chief of the Delawares, a lover of peace and friend of William Penn. But to the midshipmen of the period, there was nothing in the name of Tamanend to strike the imagination. The effigy was also known by various other names -- Powhatan, King Phillip, and finally Tecumseh -- a great warrior and thus heroic and appropriate to the midshipmen. After 40 years of standing vigil in the Naval Academy's Yard, the winds, sun and rain began to take their toll. This prompted the Class of 1891 to raise funds for a new figurehead of Tecumseh to be immortalized in bronze. The old wooden figurehead's "brains" and "heart" were transferred to the new bronze statue for the sake of tradition. Tecumseh has become not only the "God of 2.0" -- the passing grade point average at the academy -- but also the idol to whom loyal midshipmen give prayers and sacrificial offerings of pennies. Midshipmen offer a left-handed salute in tribute to Tecumseh, and they toss pennies his way for good luck in exams and athletic contests. Each year, Tecumseh is decked out in a coat of "war paint" for Parents' Weekend in August, Homecoming in the fall, before Army-Navy contests and for Commissioning Week. Well, yes, of course, but that wasn't exactly what I was asking. I wondered if perhaps this quotation was inscribed on or near the Tecumseh monument itself, and whether it might be one of those many passages which plebes are required to memorize. Captain Spriggs?? |
From One of my
Famous Marines -
Herb Hice of MI, who
served in the Pacific Theater
during WWII - 07/11/06 - "Dear Carol, My Hero !!!":
Dear Carol,
One of my role models when I was much
younger. Looks like Your Friend, Herbie |

OHHHH,
John Wayne! I
never miss watching a John Wayne movie when I have the opportunity. I
think my favorite is In
Harm's Way (1965). No,
Operation Pacific (1951).
YEAH!!! No,
The Quiet Man (1952).
No, Angel and the Badman
(1947). No,
McClintock! (1963). No,
The Fighting Seabees
(1944). No, The
Longest Day (1962). No,
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949).
Well, you see how it is........
And this is funny, I must say. Thanks, Herbie, you Sweetie-Pie!

From Linda May Bond Crayton ('66) of VA - 07/11/06:
I know you do not want to
hear from me again!
Nonsense!
I always love to hear from you, Linda May!
BUT, some my people are from Gretna, Va. The only thing I can think of for using it to rile the other team is, by saying they where from Gretna, you were saying they were hicks, slow or undeveloped. After all it is on the Appalachian. Linda May ' 66 Ahhhh... Isn't it strange and sad how we can always manage to find someone upon whom we think we can show a condescending attitude? But that probably is the explanation. Thanks, Lady! |
From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 07/11/06 - "Change of email address for
J. Allen":
If you are using
jjallen@bww.com for Jerry and Judy Allen, please change to
jwallen3@cox.net
Thanks!
Well, Judy dear, in
checking my own records, I discovered I had the correct addy posted for
Jerry, none at all for you, and that I myself was using the wrong one.
Ain't life grand?!?
So I made all the necessary changes. http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-ALL.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-B.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-1966.html And now if I might ask a favor myself. Having just announced that all my numerous email addresses were functioning properly, since the work was done on my computer, I have found that I cannot copy and paste onto these Front Page web pages from either of these two addies: NNHS65@nc.rr.com or cluckmeat@nc.rr.com. This means that if you send something we want to use online to either of those places, I must first forward it to a Yahoo account (and I often must stand on my head and wiggle my ears even to do that) before I can cut and paste it. Otherwise, it simply closes Front Page - which tends to be mightily annoying. So from now on, if y'all will all be so kind as to use whatever Yahoo account you generally use (and for most BUT NOT ALL of you, this will be NNHS65@yahoo.com), I'll be less stressed. Thanks so much!

![]() I'm trying to locate the actual dates of graduation for NNHS Classes, particularly those from 1959 to 1962. We have actual programs for 1963 - 1965, and their dates were Sunday, June 9, 1963, Sunday, June 7, 1964, and Thursday, June 3, 1965. See, there's not even a pattern there. http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/oddsends.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/grad63.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/grad64.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/65invit.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/grad65.html Of course, I would be ecstatic if we were able somehow to actually obtain invitations and/or programs for these (or any other) years as well. And was the last day of school always the day following graduation? "Anyone? Anyone?" |
