Sealed with a Kiss

A kiss seals two souls for a moment in time.

- Levende Waters
 

Dear Friends and Schoolmates, 
   Today's Newsletter theme comes to us by special request from    Christine Wilson Starkman ('68) of CA on 07/25/08 - "Summer of Love":


Dear Carol,
 
Your musical theme has raised a sweet memory of summer hanging out at Red's Pier, with loudspeakers  blaring "WGH in Old Virginny!" I hope everyone is enjoying a summer of love and happiness.
 
Typhoons Forever!
Chris
 

   Thanks, Chris! It hasn't been quite a full year since we ran this one - and it came to us then by a special request from    Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - but who am I to argue with easy work for a Monday morning - especially when it involves a song as lovely as this?!?

HEALTH UPDATES AND ALERTS:

    From Jimmy Smith ('62) of VA - 07/26/08, 6:37 PM:

CAROL,

MEDICAL UPDATE: I'M DOING FINE. I HAD SOME DISCOMFORT LAST WEEK, SO THEY STUCK ME BACK IN THE HOSPITAL FOR MORE TESTS; EVERYTHING WAS FINE.  

PLEASE ADD THE FOLLOWING TO YOUR PRAYER LIST.  

PATSY FLOYD PRIDE ('62 - of VA) - HIP SURGERY-AT HOME DOING FINE------

MARSHA RICE ('62 - of VA) - KNEE SURGERY- AT HOME DOING FINE-----

  CAROL COOK CAMPBELL ('62 - of VA) -- HEART CAT. AT HOME DOING FINE   

WE ALL THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS.   

LOL JIMMY

   WOWZERONI-YOWZERONI!!! Thank you for letting us know, Jimmy! Okay, I've taken you off again and added the gals to it. Y'all take care of yourselves up there!

   And I hope this means that you've talked Juno into letting me through to you again - yes? No?? Maybe so?!?


   From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 07/26/08, 10:41 PM - "Thank you":

Carol,
I just want to thank you, sweet lady, for the special effort you made yesterday to put out a newsletter when you received my update on 
  Jerry (Allen - '65 - of VA).  That was so kind and generous of your time.  I just read the newsletter tonight that explained how you threw together a "quickie" to get that out.  We appreciate it so much.

   Certainly, Dearest Judy! I'm not going to postpone urgent prayers just so I can be a slacker! We have some mighty Prayer Warriors in our Typhoon Nation, and I wanted them on the job ASAP!
 

Jerry wants to come home.  He is so tired of lying around.  All the progress he made walking has slipped a little with having to stay in bed. We both appreciate all the attention, visitors, and prayers.  We love our Typhoon friends and family.
 
Did you get the good news that      Jimmy DeBerry ('64 - of VA) went home July 10th and is doing GREAT? [according to     Melody (Clendenin DeBerry - Warwick HS - '66 - of VA)]  He is walking each night, having therapy a few times a week and progressing very well.
 
Again, thanks for all you do and we will keep you and your family as well as the other ailing Typhoons in prayer.
 
God bless you!
Judy

   Ohhhh, that IS wonderful news! Thanks so much, Lady!


         From My #1 Son, Lewis Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '89) of IL - via phone call of 07/27/08, 9:00 PM:

   Rachel (Harty of IL) has completed her physical therapy, and is now totally healed!

   SUPER-DE-DUPER! Thanks, Lewis - and give her a hug and a kiss for me, please!


    From Johnnie Bateman ('67 / '70) of VA - 07/27/08, 10:58 PM - "Dale Chestnut (Nakina HS, NC - '54) Update":

Carol,

I don’t have much to report on Dale yet; they did do a cat scan yesterday (Saturday) on his head injuries, but we have not heard the cat scan results.

Dale is still sedated and it appears he is slowly improving, but it's going to be a long haul for him. Tomorrow (Monday) three specialists are to meet and discuss what will be done in regards to Dale's broken nose and cheek bone and what heart surgery will be needed. I also know that a transfer to Riverside may be forthcoming.

He is still in ICU listed critical.

Carol, prayers are greatly needed and appreciated.

Johnnie

   YOWZERONI!  Prayers are being offered at this very moment! Thanks for the update, Johnnie!


  From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of VA - 07/27/08, 11:04 PM - "Dale (Chestnut  - Nakina HS, NC - '54)":

Carol,

This is an e-mail I forwarded to our friends about Dale's illness.  I know that Johnnie notified you about it and thought you might want a little more detail.  Feel free to include it in your newsletter as we need all the prayers we can get for his recovery. 
 
My wonderful husband, Dale, is critically ill in ICU at Mary Immaculate Hospital. He had a heart attack and ventricular fibrillation after playing golf at Ft. Eustis on Friday morning.  He fell on concrete on his face, causing a broken nose, fractured cheek bones and I'm not sure what else. There's also the possibility of brain damage due to lack of oxygen.  Two of his fellow golfers saved his life by performing CPR immediately and the fire station at Ft. Eustis is right across the street, so the paramedics were on the scene immediately.  The doctors are keeping him heavily sedated, until they can find out the cause and also for the pain in his face.  He had a physical last Wednesday and everything seemed to be fine.  The doctor told us today that he's in the 5% that have survived this long, for which we are grateful.  The team of doctors treating him are meeting tomorrow to see what the next steps are.  Our children, Kelly, Trudy, and Kimberly, are all here and as you can imagine, we're at the hospital most of the day.  Please keep us all your prayers.
 
Love,
Sandi

   Yes, ma'am - of a surety! Thank you, Sandi!



       From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 07/26/08 - "You Can't Always Get What You Want":

RE: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/07-26-08-NNHS-Mick-Jaggers-65th-Birthday.html  

Readers may recall that the song, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was used in the opening scenes of the film, "The Big Chill", during the funeral of Alex.

(Trivia Item: Alex was played by Kevin Costner, but his scenes were cut, and he was never seen "alive" on film.)

Anyway, Karen (JoBeth Williams) is introduced by the preacher, who says she will play a song which was a favorite of Alex's. As the first few notes are heard, and the attendees recognize the song, they each begin to grin. Only later in the film do we learn why that song was so amusing ... and apropos.

   Thank you, David! There's nothing like a familiar song to evoke an entire unspoken theme!   I kept wondering why I has having difficulty recalling this scene, and then I realized I'd never seen the movie - slows me down every time!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085244/

   Hmmm, 1983 - "The story of eight old friends searching for something they lost, and finding that all they needed was each other."

   It sounds like my kind of movie. I'm not sure why I've never seen it; maybe it was rated "R" or something..... Thanks again, Brown Eyes!


      From Wayne Stokes ('65) of VA - 07/26/08 - "Irena Sendler":

CBD,
 
The clip that    Cookie (Phillips Tyndall - '64 - of VA) sent in is something that    Judy (Phillips) Allen ('66 - of VA) had brought to my attention a few days ago. I had heard of the magnificent woman previously and knew of her wonderful work solely for the sake of others. I did not know that she had recently died, and as I told Judy, the world is now a lesser place because of it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVw1PANUcdg

 
I also didn't know that she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize at the same time as Al Gore; we know who won.
 
Something is not right when a lady lays her life on the line to save others' lives with absolutely nothing to gain, perhaps other than a clear conscience, as she did and NOT win the "prize", but lose to Al Gore!
 
His contribution - well, he did give a slide show of photos taken by others and he did speak on the issue of his cause, mostly scripted by others, and he was well known. I place no value judgment on his message.
 
Now, if you're ever in a really tough situation, who would you prefer come to your aide, a guy with a clicker or Irena Sendler?
 
Now, I will put my well worn soap box back in the garage! I know that you don't like to "print political issues", but this, in my opinion, is more about what should have been regarding the prize: justice. And the winner is: Irena Sendler! 
 
Take Care!
Wayne

  I think you speak for legions there, Wayne Honey - thanks so much!


    From Richard Dawes (NNHS / HHS - '62) of VA - 07/27/08 - "Irena Sendler":

This says it all about a great lady.

We all mourned the demolition of the old pool, but it seems that NN has constructed a nice replacement.

Sealed with a Kiss

Written by Gary Geld and Peter Udell, 1960

(Brian Hyland, 1962)


Though we've got to say good-bye
For the summer
Darling, I promise you this
I'll send you all my love
Everyday in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

CHORUS:
Yes it's gonna be cold, lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my dreams
Everyday in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you
But, Darlin' you won't be there

I don't wanna say good-bye
For the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Let us make a pledge
To meet in September
And seal it with a kiss

(instrumental)

(CHORUS)
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss
