From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 07/18/09:
......its researchers directed the Lunar Orbiter Project, which mapped the moon's surface in the mid-1960s. Photographs debunked the theory that the moon's surface was covered with several feet of dust.
My long civil service career began in Oct 65 at NASA. I'm proud to say that although I was not an engineer, but a lowly clerk-typist, I worked in the Lunar Orbiter Project Office (fondly called LOPO). Unfortunately for me, by the time the orbiter launch proved successful, I had moved on to employment at Ft. Monroe. I missed the huge celebration!
AWWWW! :o(
Memories of the Garden Pharmacy in Stuart Gardens.......my memory is a painful lesson in life. I had Daddy's car one evening......can't remember where I told him I was going, maybe the library? Noooo, I headed straight to the Garden Pharmacy, where a guy I liked worked........talked to him for a bit, then he introduced me to his cute friend. Anyhoo, the car wouldn't start when I needed to get back home.......had to call Daddy, so he could take care of the situation. Of course, as we all know, lying to Daddy was worse than the car breaking down. I didn't get the car again anytime soon, but that cute guy became my first "real" boyfriend for two years!!
GIGGLES!
Thanks, Gloria - you naughty baby!
I added your second comment to the Garden
Pharmacy page:

From Mike Leonard ('68) of VA
- 07/18/09 - "Movie Theatre":
Good Evening Carol,
I find it interesting that the 1945 Anchor lists the Stuart Theatre at 18th and Wickham, while the 1945-1946 phone book has it at 19th and Wickham.
Also, there is a listing for a Pix Theatre at 26th and Huntington. Does anyone recall this theatre??
Mike Leonard (68)
Thanks, Mike, I
noticed that discrepancy too!
I think the phone book entry must surely
be a typo.

Had the theater been located at 19th Street and Wickham, it would have had to have been on the other side of the Colonial Store - and it wasn't.
Hey, can anyone
see that ad that's "posta" be showing above?!?
All I'm getting is a big blue spot -
like a blue ghost.
Today is supposed to be about angels, not ghosts.....
Now, about that Pix Theater - "Anyone? Anyone?"
From Jean Baker Howell ('69) of VA - 07/18/09 - "Class of '69":
We have two more to add to our attending list. Gary Livingston and Helen Konstant Stephenson, both of VA.
Thanks, Jean
Thank you, Jean!
Helen was already listed, but I
added Gary's name; they're both in the middle column:

Thanks, Shari!
Most of these are painfully simple, but somehow a few of the others
don't fall quite as easily from the tongue now as they did forty-eleven years
ago.....
From Jane
Chambers of VA - 07/18/09 - "RE: NNHS Class of 64 students who went to CNC
- after a bit of dialogue":
Hello, Carol,
I hope you're feeling better today...not coming down with some bug.
GIGGLES!
Actually, the six of us are playing Pass the Bug
- much like the old Hot Potato game of our
childhood.....
Lynn Walker Brothers ('65 - of VA) is one of the
students interviewed by retired CNC
coach Mary Lu Royall for the essay, "Women Made It Happen: Building the
Women's Sports Program" in Memories of CNC:
The First Decade, so she's not one of
our "lost" students. In fact, she's pictured in that essay, since she was on the
first women's basketball team.
Many of us remember
Bobby
Artman ('63)
(02 Jan 1945 - 25 Oct 2000). He too is named in
Memories, as one of the members of
the first Track Team at CNC,
coached by NNHS grad.
Raoul Weinstein ('57 - of FL), who
also taught math for us in the early 60s. I located him through your NNHS
Newsletter! Nobody knew how to find him when we were working on the book,
but of course he is in the book.
Carol, I am going to send you a complimentary signed copy of
Memories as a token of
thanks for all you've done, and are continuing to do, in helping me locate the
NNHS students who became our
CNC students of the First Decade.
I'm going to do the same for
David (Spriggs - '64 - of VA) also. It is a real pleasure working
with such dedicated people as you two.
Jane
WOWZERONI-RINI!!!
Thank you so much, Jane!
I
really appreciate that!
I love this job!
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 07/18/09 - "Wow!":
We rarely get a chance to see another country's editorial about the USA.
This article is from a Romanian Newspaper written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and under the title: 'C'ntarea Americii (Ode to America).
Ode to America
Why are Americans so united?
They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color!
They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of
civilizations and religious beliefs.
On 9/ll/2001, the American tragedy
turned millions of people into a hand placed over the
heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service
that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank
accounts. Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about.
Instead Americans volunteered to donate blood and
to give a helping hand.
After the first moments of panic, they raised their
flag over the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the colors of
the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place
and on every car a government official or the president was passing. On every
occasion, they started singing: 'God Bless
America!'
I watched the live broadcast and rerun after
rerun for hours, listening to the story of the guy who went down one-hundred-floors
with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was or of the Californian
hockey player, who gave his life fighting with the terrorists and prevented the
plane from hitting a target that could have killed other thousands of people.
How on earth were they able to respond
united as one human being? Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the
memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes. And with every phone
call, millions and millions of dollars were put into collection aimed at
rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit, which no money can buy. What on
earth can unite the Americans in such way? Their land? Their history? Their
economic Power? Money? I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and
murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace, I thought things over,
I reached but only one conclusion: Only
freedom can work such miracles!
Cornel Nistorescu
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/odetoamerica.htm :
"The Truth: Happily, this one is true. It is an editorial from the Romanian newspaper with the name 'Evenimentul Zilei' -- News of the Day. Managing Director Cornel Nistorescu published the piece on September 24 (2001), calling it 'Ode To America.'"
From My #2 Son,
Brent Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90) of TX - 07/02/09 - "WW II posters :~ (#15 in a Series of 18)":
Thought you might like these...love bh
These were our parents. What in God's name have we let happen to our Country? We were taught these values and then we let them die ..... I guess we are the last generation to see, or even remember anything like these? Whatever happened? Political correctness (or "re-education") happened, lack of God's name happened, lack of personal responsibility happened, lack of personal integrity and honesty happened, lack of respect and loyalty to our country happened, lack of being an American happened.

Oh, I DO like
them! Thanks so much,
Brent!

Desert Island Email
A ragged individual stranded for several months on a small
desert island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean one day noticed a bottle lying
in the sand with a piece of paper in it.
Rushing to the bottle, he pulled out the cork and with shaking hands withdrew
the message.
"Due to lack of maintenance," he read, "we regretfully have found it necessary
to cancel your e-mail account."
