Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

Many Happy
Returns, One and All!
Carol:
You are so wonderful in all that you
do and I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have contributed
anything....hence, here is a real find. In 1958, the Anchor Staff went
to New York, as was their custom. I am forwarding a picture of three beautiful
young ladies and the class sponsor,
Miss Moneda Key. They dined at Jack Dempsey's Restaurant in New
York.
http://www/nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Key/jack-dempsey-book.pdf
The picture was given to me for my
collection by
Helen Flax Kierstead ('58) of
Ontario. She and the others lovelies are all from the N.N.H.S. class of
1958. They are, L to R: Helen Flax (sister of
Tom Flax - '64 - of VA
and Joel Flax), Miss Moneda Key (Spanish Teacher and class sponsor),
Sandy Mirmelstein (sister of Eddie - '62 and daughter of Dr. Sam,
who delivered me) and Frances Lawson. All would qualify to be "Dawn
Lovelies".
I was so honored that Helen Flax Kierstead
donated this picture which is in an attractive restaurant promotional folder.
Helen gave the picture to me when I did a memorabilia display for her class 50
year reunion last year. It was a great experience to be there. My sister
Mary Anne Mays Davis was also in this class.
Take care, Miss Carol, and please continue to keep up the exemplary work.....you
are the best.
Fred Mays, class of 1960
P.S. I hope this finds both you and
Paul
are doing well. I know he has been through so much lately.
Thank
you so much, Fred!
I enjoyed speaking with you on the phone - and Paul is greatly improved!
This image is fabulous, and Helen is a real jewel!
Assuming I've remember how to attach it successfully, I've placed the link to the image on Miss Key's page in our section of teachers where we may all continue to enjoy it:
Hello Carol,
There is a rumor around here that plans are in the works to tear down Newport
News High as well.
Maybe
David (Spriggs - '64 - of VA) knows if this is true.
It is old, but goes to show they made them good, good enough to last.
Linda May '66
I actually know the answer to this one myself, Linda May!

The answer is an emphatic "NO!" I have this
on the authority of
![]() ![]() They did tear down Saunders Stadium, and as you can see in David's fabulous panoramic image, 31st Street itself has been obliterated and expunged from existence to allow for those new high-end condos, but Paul told us on the last tour of the building in October 2008, that having invested some incredible sum of money (I seldom remember numbers, but it was huge) into further renovations of our dearly beloved building, its continued existence was assured for quite some time.
Sleep well with the
comfort of this knowledge, Lady!

Carol,
Ferguson High graduate
Tommy Penrose is a
photographer who is now working on panoramic pictures for special occasions like
class reunions.
I am just passing along the contact for anyone interested. I saw the one he did over the weekend for a class from FHS. It was very good. I told him that I would pass on the info.
Thanks!
Judy
Thanks for help giving me point of contacts for any group pan pix possibilities.
Most any group, 8 x 24 = $25.00. Generally, no location fee unless we only sell
a couple....like family reunions....churches..... for that we charge $250 to
$500 and you get 5 to 10 prints......
High school reunions we sell anyway....

Thanks,
Judy - and Tommy!
I've posted this on our
REUNION PAGE
for easy reference!
Carol,
My brother Buzzy (Blanchard - Kecoughtan HS - '68 - of LA) sent this to
me. I was so moved I have got to send it to everyone I know, and hope everyone
that sees it does the same....

ALERTS:
From Jane Chambers of VA - 07/01/09 - "CNC BOOK BROCHURE & AD":Attached is the two-sided brochure.... It has an order form on it. All former CNC students (whether or not they got a degree from CNC) can get the $5 alumni discount if they order the book with this form. They will need to write on the order form "alumni discount" and put $24.95 in the blank beside $29.95. They will have to pay S&H also and (if in Virginia) 5% Sales Tax.
Attached also is an ad we ran in the Daily Press, which lists places where the book can be bought in the Tidewater area. Except for the CNU bookstore, there is no discount price for these copies. However, buyers can get signed copies at all of these places EXCEPT the CNU Bookstore, which did not want signed copies. Signed means signed by all 3 authors: Chambers, Hubbard, and Wood.

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away
I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
