Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60 - of VA)
comment":
Nevertheless, his Father managed to get him a low-paying job as an inexperienced helper in the shipyard’s boiler shop. However, it wasn’t too long after that when Captain Bob was forced to make some personnel cutbacks in his department. He told Hubert to go home. When his son protested, saying that his Dad could lay off someone making more money (and everyone, just about, made more money than an unskilled helper), his Father replied: “Boy, go home. I can take care of you. I won’t lay off a man that has a family.”
That story was related to me by Hubert's son, Bond Carter, who took me to see his Dad (Bond had worked for me at NNS in the early 1970s). I completed and presented a story entitled A Family of Shipbuilders to the Carter clan about a year before Hubert passed away.
OHHH,
thank you, Bill, that is a moving account!
I've posted Joan's comments and yours on the

From Linda May Bond Crayton ('66) of VA - 07/19/09 - "America":
The story by Mr. Nistorescu
was nice.......but.
Others who write about the United States, usually good, have a lot to say,
but in no way do they know what we know about our home.
No American takes were we live for granted. It is only the Congress and the
Senate who forget, rather quickly, what we want when they are blinded by
favors and lose money.
It would be ideal if they could only serve six years, total, no re-election
and only for one dollar a year......
I am a American. I do not take it for granted. Period.
Linda May '66
You're a good woman, Linda May!
I myself (spoiled brat that I
am) find I take many things for granted, often until it is everlastingly too
late.
I assume that things, having once been, will always be.
I assume that because I live someplace one day, I'll live there forever.
I assume that because I cheerfully wave goodbye to people one day, I'll see them again soon.
I assume that the people I love will always be there.
I personally take far, far too much for granted.....
Thanks,
Lady!

Some old fashioned Patriotism. I wonder whatever happened to this kind of thinking in America. I got a lump in my throat when I read this.. I "grew up" thinking: patriotism, it is the AMERICAN way! I am glad to see that somebody saved these. The statement at the end says it all! |
|
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.
Brent Harty
Oh, I DO like
them! Thanks so much,
Brent!

From ArcaMax Jokes.com - 07/19/09:
Cornflakes
Two twins returned home each with a letter from their teachers
explaining they had been using extremely bad language and not to come to
school.
The next day when the twins each gave their dad the letter he gave them a
hiding and sent them to bed.
The next morning when the twins got up, the dad asked, "What do you want for
breakfast?"
One of the twins replied, "I'll have some of those blankety-blank cornflakes,
thanks!"
His dad immediately gave the twin a hiding and sent him to bed.
"Now, what do you want for breakfast?" the dad asked the other twin.
"Well," replied the boy, "I won't have any of those blankety-blank cornflakes,
that's for sure!"

Lyrics by
Jimmy
Kennedy, 1935
(20 July 1902 – 6 April 1984)
Red sails in the
sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
<instrumental interlude>
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset
Way out on the sea (ooh-wee-ooh, wee-ooh)
Oh, carry my loved one
Home safely to me
