Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Did you forget that today is Paul Anka's
Big Birthday?!? Well, in all honesty, I nearly did so myself.
Maybe that's because it's also my dear sweet daughter
Adrienne's 19th birthday.
My, my, my, where did the time
go?!?And speaking of birthdays.... |
BIRTHDAYS:

Today is also the birthday of
Don Chaney ('66) of MD (not to mention Arnold Schwatzenegger of
CA!).

the birthday of
Many happy returns to you all!

From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 07/27/06 - "CVN 78 chaplains":

Since all you guys are
into NATURE these days, here is my contribution. This comes from the
devilish side of me.
Judy
A
priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to the
students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette. They would get
together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop. One day,
someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that
hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to
another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into
the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it. Seven
days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.
Oh, Judy,
you naughty baby! WILD GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Lady!
See you in September!

Hi Carol...
Thanks for adding me to your mailing list.
My birthday is April 29, 1948... and it's OK to add
my name and contact information to any of list you'd like.
SUPER! Thanks, Mike! I've added you to the birthday list, and posted your email addie on the '66 Contact page: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html
I am so glad (and thankful) that you are taking care
of this most important project.
It's been wondrous fun, Mike!
I'm glad you enjoy it!
I have been told that the original school building
will be open for a "tour" on the weekend of our class reunion (Sep 2006).
I hope this is true. I haven't been "inside" since June of 1966... That
should be very cool!
This is indeed quite
true, and having toured the building last October - thanks to
the impromptu initiative of
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Magical-Mystery-Tour-05.html Many, many thanks to the 1966 Reunion Committee for arranging this newest tour for all of us! It is not to be missed!!!
Thanks again...
Mike
Thank you, Mike!

Carol,
Good Afternoon, I hope this finds you in
elevated spirits and health!
Welllll, elevated might be a bit of a stretch, but I'm okay,
Sweetie! Thanks!
This website and you yourself continue to amaze me, and I remain in AWE. I thank you very much for what you do and continue to do. Thank you, Jay!
I've had great fun! Remember I was looking for a copy of the Typhoon from the stadium cushion? Search over; hopefully the retro jacket will be completed in the near future. SUPER!!! Congratulations!!! Not too many people from my class write
often, but reading what
Things have not slowed down much here in the Shenandoah Valley, so to remedy same, I will shortly take off 5-6 weeks burning excess leave, starting with a week in Hilton Head, SC in two weeks. This is for my wife's benefit, I don't do too well in the heat, which SC has in spades, then to Bar Harbor, ME, which is more to my liking. Take Care of yourself and the Typhoon Nation.
Jay Styles, '68
That sounds lovely,
Jay! Y'all have a great time!

| CAROL, THE PICTURE YOU HAD ON THE LAST NEWSLETTER OF THE FAMILY WITH THE LAST NAME OF PAYNE - ARE THEY RELATED TO YOU? MY MOTHER'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY WERE NAMED PAYNE ALSO. THEY WERE FROM REIDSVILLE, N.C. WE MAY BE DISTANT COUSINS. GLENN DYE 60 TYPHOON FOREVER I'd say that was a distinct possibility, Glenn! |

Those are indeed my great grandparents, Glenn. My mother's mother was also a Payne - and her husband told her so repeatedly! Budda-bing-budda-boom! As a matter of fact, thanks to the tireless efforts of my mother and her sister (and a bit of my own), I have that Payne line traced back to about 1665 in Spotsylvania Co., VA before they settled in North Carolina. It's a more interesting story than many, so I'll share that with you next time when I'm not trying to fly out the door! Thanks, Glenn! |

Diana
Words and Music by Paul Anka, 1957
(Paul Anka)
I'm so young and
you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, my darlin',
oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, ho-ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with-a all your might
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, wow, many from which to
choose. He wrote "My Way", but that is associated
with Frank Sinatra. As we all remember Anka from the late 50s on, it is a
toss-up
among Diana, Lonely Boy, and Put Your Head on My Shoulder.
I vote for Diana as more upbeat for a MIDI.
Works
for me! Thanks, David!
