Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This is such a nice, relaxing song - sad, but peaceful, nonetheless.....

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmaine_%28song%29:
"Charmaine" is a popular song written by Erno Rapee, with lyrics by Lew Pollack. The song was written in 1926 and published in 1927. However, Desmond Carrington on his BBC Radio 2 programme marked the song's writing as being in 1913.
The song was originally in waltz time, but later versions were in common time.
The song was originally composed for the silent movie What Price Glory?, and most notably, the best-selling version, recorded by Guy Lombardo & his Orchestra, spent seven weeks at the #1 position in 1927.[1] It was also featured in the movie Two Girls And A Sailor. It was recorded by the Harry James orchestra in 1944.
An instrumental version arranged by Ronald Binge and performed by the Mantovani orchestra was his first hit on the United States charts in 1951. This recording was released by London Records as catalog number 1020. It first reached the Billboard charts on November 9, 1951 and lasted 19 weeks on the chart, peaking at #10. [2]
Another recording, by Gordon Jenkins' orchestra, with a vocal by Bob Carroll, also charted in 1951. This recording was released by Decca Records as catalog number 27859[3]. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on December 7, 1951 and lasted 1 week on the chart, at #26. [2]
"Charmaine" is one of many popular songs whose lyrics use a "Bluebird of happiness" as a symbol of cheer: "I wonder, when bluebirds are mating, will you come back again?"

From Carla
Fine Cripps ('65) of South Australia - 07/22/14:
Hi, Carol, Thank you so much for running Mom’s obituary on the NNHS65 site, and for your personal kind words about her. It’s been good to hear from people who remember her and Dad from the old days. Ninety-three was a good age, and sadly, she had been very, very sick for a long time, so her ultimately gentle passing seemed like a release. Many apologies for running under the radar lately, but “Life’s what happens while you’re making other plans…,” “The road to Hell…good intentions,” etc. Because of the above-mentioned lapse, I want to please send a regrettably delayed thanks to ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks again and all the best to you, your nearest and dearest, and all Typhoons and their kith and kin everywhere, Carla Cripps Australia
Thank you, Carla.
I think I
spent three hours searching my files six ways from Tuesday for Bill's
Junior Birdman posting. I even checked Odds
and Ends, but nowhere have I been able to find it. If I was
simply crazy before, I am now a raving lunatic, but probably most of
y'all have suspected this for some time now...
Most of
my memorabilia disappeared in about 1978, but I personally was a card
carrying original member of Frank's "harem", meaning I had an Aardvark
International card, as well as one for Albatross International, and the
Thomas L. Nevin Fan Club, but I sadly never received a silver bear print
charm.

Thank

![]() I'm sorry
to hear about #1. As every moment I spend standing or walking I am in
sheer agony from the almost total absence of cartilage remaining in my
knees, I sincerely hope #2 is in error (perhaps #13 will be a mitigating
factor in my case

A couple was sitting on the porch sipping wine. The wife said, "I love you." The husband said, "Is that you or the wine talking?" The wife replied, "It's me, talking to the wine."
