Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's theme is brought to you courtesy of Alex Nicol ('49) of VA:
From Alex Nicol ('49) of VA - 07/17/06 - "The song Charmaine and the James Theater ":
| Gee, back in 1950 + a
friend and I would go to the James Theater and watch some "acts" live
on stage (harmless) and the song Charmaine was usually played. I liked the
song and music. (The "acts" were stupid.) I have finally found the song and
the history of the song, etc. Here is a web link to see what I liked then
and now.
http://www.bischel.com/charclub.html
Thanks, Alex! This certainly sounds
worthy of its own Newsletter! I've always loved this song. It's
ten to fifteen years older than I thought, but that's because it's so
timeless. Thanks for sharing it, Alex!
I added your comments to the James Theater page: |

Thank GAWD they didn't spot my Hosta

And how do ya like them Hills & Dales Crinums? I anticipate fleurs in two
or three weeks, based on last year's collection of photos.
No, I keep the grass up there mowed
regularly, why do you ask? And don't my official Lost Colony Bench look

Dear Carol,
When I receive this type of mail, I immediately think of you, which is not toooo bad. Please open all 5 links and have a good laugh, I did but, I am an easy person to make laugh. Laughing is good therapy no matter what your ailment is (if any). Your Friend Herbie |

These are soooo outrageously cute, Herbie! Thanks for the repeated laughs!
Actually, people who've met me are usually anxiously engaged in trying to muzzle me
into some semblance of decorum, rather than encourage more of my raucous
laughter, so I'm glad you still send me funnies. Thanks, Sweetie!

From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 07/18/06:
|
ECU is really a great school. When I started there in ’63 it was ECC and there were approximately 5,000 students. In ’67 it became a university. By the time I graduated, it was just under 10,000. My daughter-in-law went there to complete her undergraduate degree while my oldest son, Chad, was stationed at Cherry Point. Now, my 20 year old son will be a senior there next year and my 16 year old is planning to attend there when he graduates. There are now approximately 24,000 students. It has a wonderful school of art and a medical school, and it has one of the best theatrical schools in the nation which include Sandra Bullock (we all know who she is) and Emily Proctor (of CSI Miami fame) as graduates. Fraternity and sorority life abound there much the same as when I went there, and football weekends are everything you’d expect. I’ve never met anyone who went there who doesn’t love it. My son says he’d just as soon never graduate. He can’t wait to get back when summer ends. Chandler Nelms I can certainly
understand that, Chandler! The campus has a wonderful spirit about it,
and surprises await you at every turn. Beautiful new buildings are
scattered among stately old ones. My #6 son,
Thanks, Chandler Darlin'!

From Me ('65) of NC - 07/18/06 - "Good News":
Speaking of
Dale (Harty - American School, IL - '02) and college, did I ever mention
that he'll be leaving to attend
Southern Virginia University
in Buena Vista in about a month? They awarded him several thousand
dollars worth of scholarships because he's so adorable (or something).
I'm glad someone at least will be returning to "the sacred soil of
Virginia"!
Congratulations, Dale!

From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 07/18/06 - "Class of 1966 Reunion":
| I am not sure what it says about our
respective classes, but I cannot help but notice that there are currently
twice as many non-1966 grads on the "Planning to Attend" List as there are
1966 grads. I sure hope that changes. Perhaps it is an indicator of the REAL "PARTY" classes. :-D D Well,
actually, David, I compiled that list myself from report given me by the
individuals listed.
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion-class-of-1966.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2006-attending.html Thanks, Brown Eyes! |
From Roberta Hilsdon ('70) of GA - 07/18/06 - "NNHS Newsletter - Yesterday":
|
Hey Carol,
Thanks for playing one of my
favorite songs on the webpage today!
I do believe that's my favorite of all
the Beatles' songs. I'm glad you liked it, too!
Do you know when the 1966
reunion page that shows who is attending will be updated? I'm anxious to
see who's attending. The Hilsdon girls are taking this opportunity for a
mini-reunion, so we look forward to seeing you all there.
SUPER-DE-DUPER!!! I can hardly wait to see you all again!
Carol - Congratulations on six
glorious years of connecting and reconnecting Typhoons (and other folks
too). We owe you so much! When is YOUR birthday?
Thanks, Roberta!
I appreciate that!
Please tell

Dear Carol,
Your latest E-Mail gives me the impression that you are not feeling well SO, here are a few words to pick up your spirits. You may have heard the song by Judy Garland ? Enclosed are the words as reminders. When my wife was still with me I used to sing a line from that song as follows, (So always look for the silver lining, and try to find the Sunny Side of YOUR WIFE.) She didn't think it was funny, but I thought it was quite humorous. That ought to be worth a coupla GIGGLES. Your Friend, Herbie |

the Silver Lining (As sung by Judy Garland) As I wash my dishes, I'll be following a

SURPRISE #1:
From
Chip Clark
('65) of Northern VA - 07/13/06 and 07/21/06 - "hard-at-work images..":
|
Hi Carol: Here are 1.3 dozen jpeg images that I shot during my Belize trip last month. I'm slowly getting better at shooting underwater. A lot of my better images were shot in three feet of water or less.. you don't need a flash at that depth to compensate for the color filtering effect of water. Chip |
||||
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| 95 - Jim Norris, marine botanist swimming over the coral and gorgonians on a small “patch” reef south of the research station on Carrie Bow Cay in Belize. Depth to the reef top here is about 24 feet. | 102 - A convergence of marine botanists.. Jim Norris and Bob Sims from the Smithsonian, and Fred Gurgel from Brazil exchanging comments by sign language while collecting algae. Depth at the sea bottom here is about 27 feet; the “sea grass” covering the flat sand bottom is the algae thallasia. | 291 - Jim Norris with his underwater digital camera shooting macro photographs of algae in it’s natural habitat. The depth is about three feet, and we’re snorkeling. This is an area of shallow coral formations with lots of wave action and strong water flow directly off the ocean, so we’re constantly swimming into the current just to hold position. These shallow pictures show the full range of colors; below about 15 feet all the warmer colors have been absorbed by the water and only the blue gets through to your eyes, or into the camera. | 318 - Our “large” dive boat loaded with divers, equipment, and collecting buckets for algae. We’re anchored in a cove at Cat Cay, an uninhabited (mostly mangrove) island about 15 miles south of our research station at Carrie Bow Cay. | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| 358 - Jim Norris snorkeling along the surface in Cat Cay Bay.. remarkable because it’s absolutely dead calm (quite unusual!) and the flat surface acts like a mirror when seen from underneath. | 368 - Bob Sims collecting algae off the roots of the mangrove trees in Cat Cay Bay. Again, here, the full color of the scene comes through. The shallow sea floor is loaded with algae and small corals, and the roots are loaded with various types of algae and sponges. Bob is an easy photographic subject because his collecting/snorkeling techniques are so graceful that he doesn’t stir up the mud …. | 375 - The diver is at the bottom of a sand pit in the Cat Cay Bay lagoon. Although the shallow areas of Cat Cay are clear and thickly carpeted with living algae and corals, the pits are always murky and only a single type of penicillium algae grows there… looking like little brushes sprouting from the sand at a depth 45 feet. | 538 - This is a beautiful little spot only about 200 feet from the research station. A series of isolated coral heads sprout out of the sand bottom, and there are always schools of french grunts hanging around. Late in the afternoon, the slanting sunlight makes the gorgonian “bushes” glow with backlight. Snorkeling at 15 feet. | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| 570 - Marine botanist Suzanne Fredericq, a professor at Lafayette, Louisiana is collecting algae off the deeper side of the research station at Carrie Bow Cay. Here, at about 60 feet, the image would be completely blue (as seen in the background) except I’m using two flash units to correct the color in the foreground. Underwater flash has a very limited range, perhaps 10 feet before it too becomes only blue light. | 614 - This is even further down the ocean side slope off Carrie Bow Cay. Jim Norris is the closest diver; Bob and Fred are deeper down the slope. This is what it looks like without any added flash; solid blue. Jim and I are at a depth of 70 feet, and the sand bottom below left is about 100 feet. | 621 - Using flash on the left side to add color to the foreground coral and tube sponges. Depth about 60 feet. | 707 - Jim Norris collecting in about three feet of water, Fred in the background. This is another interesting biological area; the constant pounding of waves over this area has reduced the coral to slabs of rubble and not much can grow there. What algae does grow is constantly grazed upon by herbivorous fish. | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| 777 - Suzanne is holding out her collecting bag and some algae she just uprooted from the shallow sand bottom off of Man-O-War Cay which shows in the background. This type of “over/under” image can only be done using a large dome port over the cameras’ lens, and the water level is constantly moving across the image.. the best results are part skill and a lot of luck and timing. To get really good shots you’d have to shoot a dozen frames or more in the hope that one would have the water level exactly where you wanted it.. It’s easy with digital, but I can’t do it with film, since I’ve only got 36 shots to a roll, and there are a lot of other things I’m trying to photograph on the same dive. | 791 - On my last dive of the trip I came across a six foot nurse shark (mostly harmless) “sleeping” under a coral shelf at 50 feet. It was so nonchalant that I could lie flat on the sand bottom next to it about three feet away to get this image with a wide angle lens. I wish I had a flash on the camera this dive but I’d decided to go light and left it back in the lab. | Beach Camera - And a “hero shot” of yours’ truly, camera in hand back on Carrie Bow Cay.. photo by Jim Norris while I was prowling the island looking for shots.. | Chip Table - Another shot of the ‘main square” of the island’s lab building. I’m sitting at the picnic table/conference table/workbench downloading my dive computer’s memory. Debra Jahn (in the bikini) is a visitor to the lab. The island Station Manager, who keeps everything running and the scientists out of trouble, is Bert Pfeiffer, sitting on the steps. A quiet morning at the office. | |
WOWZERONI-RINI-ROONI!!! Chippy Darlin', the colors alone in these images are so breathtaking they defy description! Your titling of images has always fascinated me. For instance, the eighth shot bears the name, "Patch Reef Scenic". Honey, these are all the very definition of "scenic"!!! Some of us lead more
exciting lives than others..... Back when we used to sit together in
Magruder School, I always
thought you'd grow up to be a nuclear physicist. I'm so glad you chose
another branch of science. It appears to be much more fun, and
besides, your magnificent images are such a delight!
Okay, I've spent twenty or thirty minutes looking for the page with your Belize images which you sent me earlier so that I can add these to it. It doesn't exist, right? I never really actually made it, hmmm? Right, well, I just love it when that happens - NOT! Maybe I can make that page tonight while nobody's looking......
Thanks again, Chippy Darlin'!

SURPRISE #2:
From Me ('65) of NC - 07/20/06 - "Our Graduations":
| I awoke
Thursday morning with a vision of how I wanted to arrange this new section,
so I asked
Dave Spriggs ('64 - of VA)
to assist me, and he graciously did so, and here it is: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRADUATIONS.html - brand new section http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1955.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1956.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1957.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1958.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1959.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1960.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1961.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1962.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1963.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1964.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1965.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1966.html It's awaiting your images, memorabilia, stories, memories, and some of the missing facts. There's much more to add, but the basic structure is there. Also, the 1964 Graduation Program looks like it went though the washer in a shirt pocket. While mine is not mint, neither is it quite so wrinkled. Also, the passage of time has given it a certain parchment-like patina. Your decision. D Bless your
heart!!! I was hoping someone had a better copy! Thanks for
everything, David!

WOWZERONI!!! Thanks so much for this treasure, Brown Eyes!
I opted to add it to the Prom page,
which I redid slightly. I'm seriously toying with the idea of
refashioning it to display in the same way that the Our Graduation section
does, that is, by individual years. The 1966 Anchor contains a
number of images from their prom, which I need to scan and add in the near
future. |

No wonder I stay confused all the time.....
Thanks so much, Cathy!
I think we're all always in the market for a good laugh!

|
As may be evident, there are many notes which I've saved until nest time, simply because we're out of both space and time. Keep the faith.
Many of y'all have sent me
personal notes, sweet words of encouragement, during this period when I've
largely been too numb to respond. Please forgive my rudeness, and
please know how deeply I appreciate your love and concern.

I can't forget the night we met,
How bright were stars above, That precious memory lingers yet, When you declared your love. And then you went away, And now each night and day, I wonder why you keep me waiting, Charmaine, my Charmaine. I wonder when bluebirds are mating, Will you come back again? I wonder if I keep on praying, Will our dreams be the same? I wonder if you ever think of me, too. I am waiting, my Charmaine, for you. |
You went away one dreary day; I knew you had to go, 'Mid tears and cheers I heard you say, "Charmaine, I love you so." Tho' old years turn to new, My heart keeps calling you. "I wonder why you keep me waiting," Charmaine cries in vain. "I wonder when bluebirds are mating, Will you come back again? "I wonder if I keep on praying, Will our dreams be the same? I wonder if you ever think of me, too. Charmaine's waiting, just waiting, for you." |
