AS PROMISED:
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 07/06/07:
To all:
Attached you will find a selection of 28 photos from the 162 photos that I took
on a visit to the new USMC museum at Quantico, VA yesterday, the fourth of July.
In the usual tradition of the USMC, the museum is absolutely spotless, inside
and out, even though it has already had nearly 1/2 million visitors. It is a
place worth visiting. Their website is The National Museum of the Marine Corps
and Heritage Center:
In a 5 hour visit we hit the high spots and really focused
on very little. We will go back several more times I think. The amount of
history there is astounding and I think that all of you would enjoy visiting it
if you are ever near there. Plan for as much time as you can.
The photos and the above linked website tell most of the story, but just a few
comments on our visit.
You enter first a huge entrance hall that is many stories high with a number of
real airplanes hanging above you. It is quite well done and tells the story of
the corps and also of our military in general. The exhibits contain real
equipment, human dummies - many of which look very real, thousands of photos and
a great deal of text. The exhibits are not just glass cases, although certainly
there are some but many are built in the way that they were in real life -
sandbags with holes in them and dirt leaking out, etc, etc.
After looking around the main hall and perhaps going to the top of a several
story high observation area - stairs (or elevator if you are lazy) - then you
will want to enter the exhibit areas which surround the big hall - check out the
website above for a map, more pictures and descriptions of what is there and
what is still under development. I will give you my impressions of a couple of
areas below.
In the Korea area is a room that depicts the Chosin Reservoir battle. The
temperature is in the low 60s to simulate the bitter conditions that were there
and there is an audio track and flashing lights in strategic places to simulate
the battle. Simulated snow too.
In the Vietnam area there is a room that depicts the Khe Sahn Battle. Temp is in
the 80s and the humidity is high. It actually would have been a nice day in Nam
but for those of you who were never there it gives you a little bit of an idea
of conditions there. They did not do the smell of the place which if they had
would have been a mixture of diesel fuel, rotting jungle vegetation, gunpowder
and other unpleasant things - I guess that they decided that would be "over the
top" for many people. Like the Korea exhibit this one also has an audio and
light show that is very well done, although not as loud as the real thing.
There are two restaurants in the museum - The Mess Hall and The Tun Tavern. We
ate lunch in the Tavern - Food was very good and not too expensive.
Hope you enjoy the photos. The filename of each photo will tell you what you are
seeing.

● National Museum of the Marine Corps and Heritage Center - Visit by Al Simms ('60) of VA - 07/04/07
or http://nnhs65.00freehost.com/USMC-Museum.html - brand new page - at last!
As a teaser, I'm showing only the first of the 28 beautiful images here.
Thank you so much, Al - especially for your
patience!
You did most of the work for me, but I could
not have made this page too much earlier (even if I'd had the time - which I
didn't) because my eyes were giving me some problems, and I simply couldn't
see well enough to do it.
And thank you
particularly, Gentlemen, for
the great bantering and fun we had yesterday while we worked
(a small portion of which I have included
here for the general enjoyment of all)!
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 07/19/07:
.....I must say that as usual you have done a
really nice job of it.
Al Simms
Class of 1960
Thanks, Al!
From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of
MD - 07/19/07:
Al (and Carol, of course),
Thanks for the pictures. You know, I live so close to Quantico, but I never can
seem to manage to get down there to go to the museum.
......Yes, I am ashamed of myself.
Semper Fi,
Chandler Nelms
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 07/19/07:
Chandler, get down and give us 25 push ups!!!
From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of
MD - 07/19/07:
Hell, I probably couldn't get down, much less
give you 25. And if I were lucky enough to give you 10, for sure I couldn't get
back up.
Chandler
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 07/19/07:
WHAT!!! Only 25 pushups??? You would think that
he was Air Force or something.............. Even an OLD army guy like me can do
more than that.... I think.... Maybe....
Al Simms
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 07/19/07:
Fighter Pilots never loose their wings, but they may loose their ability to do push ups when they devote their time to building choppers. I am not admitting how many push up I can do now. It is embarrassing. The aging process has entangled me as well.
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 07/19/07:
Chandler,
I thought that perhaps I could do them for you but at number 9 it got too
painful and I quit. From now on it is pushups every morning with my walk until I
can do a reasonable number again. I did the same thing 43 years ago when I was
drafted and by the time that I entered boot camp I was up to 100. Maybe this
time I will just strive for the 25...............
Al
From
Me
('65) of NC - 07/19/07:
..... Chandler Darlin' - Having seen recent pictures of you riding your chopper up and down the highways of America, I seriously doubt that you couldn't finish those 25 pushups - and several more to boot!
.....All that talk about pushups
prompted me to try some of my own. I used to routinely do the number required
(was it 50? 100?? - and a like number of pull-ups and sit-ups as well!) to ace
that part of the annual physical fitness test in HS PE to raise my otherwise
abysmal scores. Forty-eleven years, eleven pregnancies, and an untold number of
pounds of blubber later, I completed five.
I may die.....
Thanks again!
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 07/19/07:
Carol,
Your number of pushups, especially the old one, is quite good for a mere girl,
although I don't think that anyone could ever accuse you of being a "mere"
anything. Are those feet and hands or are they knees and hands? Sit-ups, easy
but pull-ups - never did like those.
Al
From
Me
('65) of NC - 07/19/07:
Back in the Olden Days, those were feet and hands. Today I was amazed I could do the knees and hands variety....
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 07/19/07:
Haven't had this much fun bantering back an forth since we
fired off round after round regarding the Oyster Piles in Hampton, and
finally accepting the music by Berlin, "Takes my breath away" for the page.
I do enjoy the humor of the TYPHOON Nation and those weary souls from the Krabba
Nation.
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 07/19/07:
Joe,
I forgot that Chandler was a Krabba.......... Does that explain anything? Oops.
I guess that will start another challenge round.
And I agree on the fun. I have never met any of you in person except Carol and
yet I feel as if we are old friends. It has made an otherwise boring afternoon
fun. While doing these emails I have been testing some product with another
computer. The test is about 3 minutes a piece and runs unattended. All I have to
do, providing there are no problems, is to hook them up, let the test run, and
then shut down and hook the next one up and restart again and wait 3 minutes.
Not really long enough to go do something else and too long to just sit there
and wait. So got my exercise today jumping up and down and going between rooms
and computers. That doesn't qualify as a deep knee bend but perhaps a medium
one...........
Al
GIGGLES!!! Thanks again, Fellas!

Carol: Here is an image of the granite monument to be dedicated next month at the Marine Corps Heritage Center in Quantico, VA. Hope it adds to your page. TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL |

From
Al Simms
('60) of VA
- 07/19/07 - "National Museum of the
Marine Corps":
Joe,
I did not walk up to it but I am pretty sure that it (the new granite monument)
is on the hill to the left of the museum as you face the front. Next time we go
I will walk up there to see it. It looked like they were working on several
things in that area but we were played out when we came out of the museum and
went straight to the car.....
Al
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 07/19/07 -
"National Museum of the Marine Corps":
The vendor was putting the monument in place about a week
ago. Of course, it is very heavy and required some careful rigging to set it in
place. You describe the location very well. It is in a garden.
One of our (Marines - Together We Served) members, Ed Harrell, will be
there to speak. He is a survivor of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. He
spent five days and nights in the ocean before being rescued. The plane that
rescued them, was not searching for them, and the pilots account will bring
tears to one's eyes. Surely the hand of God was showing mercy on those Marines
and Sailors.
Two other speakers who are members, survived attacks by Japanese Kamikaze
planes, five of them against the USS Intrepid and three against the USS
Nashville. After the first such attack, General MacArthur's Flag was
moved temporarily from the Nashville.
All the funds for his monument were contributed by our members, no corporate
contributions, which is why I believe the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation
accepted our memorial monument.
One funny story, an old Marine from Georgia who was a gunner on a BoFor in USS
Franklin was blown over board by the explosion of a 500 pound bomb. After two
days in the drink, he was rescued. He was court-martialed for abandoning ship,
against the skipper's orders not to abandon the Franklin. It took HQMC to
persuade the Navy not to pursue this court-martial.
Sea Duty was not as cushy as it may have appeared.
Thanks once more,
Gentlemen!

Carol...
I think I breezed across something in
the last newsletter
that said you were sick and stayed on the couch all day Saturday! You didn't
mention it on the phone when I called you, so, are you feeling better? .....
"Dimples " a.k.a. SDP
Thanks, Sepi!
Let's just say that my asthma seems to be totally out of control this week, and
it's usually much worse in the late afternoons and evenings..... The good
news, though, is a saw a super new doctor - well, a PA, really - on Tuesday.
She increased my hypertension medicine (okay, so that's really not very good
news), and I've already lost five pounds! 
But the asthma? Well, no, not really.....

Dear Carol,
(Regarding) the advertising slogans (in our current series at the bottom of the page) they used to push on the Public. One of my favorites was from Chesterfield Cigarettes (Not A COUGH IN A CARLOAD), Watch out for that SECOND CARLOAD !!! WOW !!!

From Jean Poole Burton ('64) - of RI - 07/18/07 - "No photos of Colonial
Place Church of Christ...":
Sadly I do not have a photo of Colonial Place...I left
there when I was 16 and attended Ivy
Memorial Baptist, but I got married at Northampton Church of Christ
because my parents had moved their membership there. I knew all the kids at Ivy
Memorial and it was a wonderful church. Colonial Place has now been sold. Most
of the kids who went there went to Hampton Schools except for a few; Carol
Petenbrink ('62), Tommy Baker ('63),
Jennie Shepherd ('62 - of NC) went
there. That is all I remember who attended NNHS.
Thanks, Jean!
I'll see what I can do about
updating the Our Places of Worship section soon!

I note that
Marty (Whitmore) McCoy ('67 - of VA) is
looking for Judy Salken for the reunion of the class of '67. She is
living in Williamsburg, Va., .....
Thanks so much,

From

- 07/19/07 - "Thanks for the compliments":
Joe Madagan ('57 - of FL)...what lovely compliments
you sent my way, does your wife know? I looked her picture up and she is a
knockout! Carol has a story I wrote about one of my unpleasant experiences at a
bowling alley years ago, perhaps she will print it if it suits her. It will
explain my question about your wife, thanks also for acknowledging my witness.
HEE-HEE!!! Here it is now:
|
From
Sepi Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC
- 07/12/07: Do you think Joe's wife, Eva (Ellis Madagan - '61 - of FL) would be upset if I thanked him in the newsletter for the wonderful compliments he paid me in past newsletters? One never knows about these things, so I thought I had better ask. Once when I was married to my second husband he joined a bowling league at NASA where he worked. I don't bowl so I sat with him; the wives were at the other end of the alley and never invited me to join them, so I took a book and read while everyone bowled. About the third week as I was reading, a little boy came and stood in front of me until I acknowledged him. I smiled and asked him if I could help him. He looked at me, pointed to the other end of the bowling alley where the wives were and said, "My mama thinks you are ugly." It hurt, but took me about two seconds to reply, "You go back and tell your mama your daddy doesn't think so." Needless to say neither of them never came to the bowling alley again and I finished my book. People can be soooo mean, this woman didn't even know me or even attempt to. So you never know! I don't want to step on anyone's toes or feelings. |
I had no idea that a living soul remembered that I worked at the Palace Theater, I loved that job, it kept me up to date with all of the goings on, on Washington Avenue. The last time I drove down Washington Avenue, it looked like some of the scenes we see on T.V. of Baghdad, minus the smoke, the wounded, and the shells of automobiles. What happened???
OOPS! I forgot to tell you,
Dimples -
Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI
remembered your working at the Palace, too!
Evelyn Fryer Fish ('58 - of TX)... that is an
enormously flattering statement you made, it made me cry, really! I hope I live
up to your expectations when we see each other in September. You have the face
and heart of an angel, that's what I thought when I first saw you at
Walter Reed those many years ago. I
understand from Carol that you still look seventeen, or maybe a day or two
older. I remember you with a pony tail at NNHS, isn't that strange, that one
memory that sticks in my mind? Or what's remaining of it, after all, "Never a
bridesmaid, ALWAYS the bride," and so on, and so on, and so on... oh never mind!
I could go on but won't.
Sharron Wanderer Dawes ('61 - of VA)... for
you to remember me after all these years is so heartwarming, and to remember
enough for the delightful words you wrote is just plain precious! Looked you up
too, and you are beauty pageant material in your own right. Thank you for making
my day...all of you, you are all so kind and generous with your words. I
appreciate it so very, very much.
"Dimples" a.k.a. Sepi
Thanks again, Sepi!

From Karrin Williams Frankie (Warwick HS - '61) of VA - 06/26/07 - "Calling all Riverside Hospital Graduates":
I just received this email
from a high school classmate to pass on. Please pass onto anyone you think might
be a nurse or knows someone so they can have a great reunion. With so many
people moving or getting married or re-married after graduation, it is hard to
find everyone and emailing is a wonderful tool.
Thanks.
Karrin,
I know you have access
to other classes besides our own. We are trying to let as many people know about
our reunion as possible. Please forward this if it is not too much trouble.
Riverside School of Professional Nursing is having a Grand Reunion of all
classes July 21 and July 22, 2007. There will be a luncheon on Saturday and a
tour of the new school campus. Saturday night is open for the individual classes
to meet. Sunday there will be a family picnic in NN Park, Jefferson Avenue near
Ft. Eustis.
If you are a graduate or know someone who is, please help us get the word out so
as many as possible will know and be able to attend. e-mail response or
questions to:
rspnalumni@widowmaker.com
You can also e-mail me.

Well, no more studyin' history
And no more reading geography
And no more dull geometry

It's time to live and have some thrills
Come along and have a ball

Well, are you comin' or are you ain't?
You slow pokes are my one complaint
Hurry up before I faint

Oh, how I love to take a dip
I'm sorry teacher but zip your lip
Because it's summertime

It's time to live and have some thrills
Come along and have a ball

Well, we'll go swimmin' everyday
No time to work just time to play
If your folks complain just say
'It's summerti-i-ime'

And every night we'll have a dance
'Cause what's a vacation without romance?
Oh man, this jive has me in a trance
Because it's summertime
It's time to head straight for them hills
It's time to live and have some thrills
Come along and have a ball
A regular, oh-free-for-all
It's summerti-i-ime
Ba-bom, it's summertime, summertime
Sum-sum-summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum-sum-summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum-sum-summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum-sum-summertime
Summerti-i-ime.
It's summertime!
