Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   I am in a rather blue mood, so I suppose this is a great song for today.

       From George Helliesen ('61) of VA - 07/20/16 - "What is globalization?":

A definition of globalization that I can understand and to which I now can relate: Question: What is the truest definition of globalization? Answer: Princess Diana's death. Question: Why? Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whiskey, followed closely by Italian paparazzi on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines. This is sent to you by an American, using Bill Gates' technology and you are probably reading this on your computer, that uses Taiwanese chips and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant; transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen and trucked to you by illegal Mexican workers¦ And that is what globalization is :)      Thanks again, George! Now I understand!

From www.ajokeaday.com - 07/22/16:   Billy always had problems with math so he used his fingers and toes for adding and subtracting. One day he didn't have enough fingers or toes to figure out the problem. His best friend took off his shoes and held up his fingers so Billy could figure it out. The moral of the story is that in times of need, you can always 'count on' your best friend!  DATES TO REMEMBER: 1.
