Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/01-23-06-NNHS-My-Girl.html
At that particular time for our
Newsletter themes, we were following along the fabulous Reunion CD's assembled
by our Wizard of Wonderment,
Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA.
(You DO have your own CD's, doncha?!? They're yours for a
modest donation to the treasury of the Class of 1964!)

Today we're using this song for "My Girl", who is turning 21 today. When she was a toddler, her six big brothers inexplicably nicknamed her (among many other things, just as goofy), "Cloudy Day" - and would sing this song to her on a daily basis.
Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!

HEALTH UPDATE:
From My #1 Daughter-in-Law,
Mary Bennett Harty (Litchfield HS,
IL - '89) of IL - 07/29/08:
Rachel has had her 2nd physical therapy appointment. It is looking pretty
good. She still limps and so we are working on getting the swelling out of her
ankle and exercising it daily. The physical therapist hasn't told us if she will
have any restrictions in P.E. when school starts or not, or how long she will be
in physical therapy.
Love,
Mary
Well, that's not quite as
good news as I initially thought, Miss Mary..... Thanks for keeping us posted;
we'll keep Rachel on our Prayer Roll a bit longer!
From TIPS for Extraordinary Living! - Written & Published by Philip E. Humbert, PhD - http://www.philiphumbert.com - 07/27/08:
The Fundamentals of Success
In life, and in business, there are only a few fundamentals that make life work
out well, and they have never changed. Too often we pretend that technology and
education have created "new rules" or that modern systems permit us to cut
corners and find short-cuts that didn't exist in the past. While there may be
examples where that is true, in general, I don't believe it.
The fundamentals of living well, achieving our dreams and creating wealth have
not changed. The path to success today is remarkably similar to the path walked
by generations past.
What are the basics? You might have your own list, but I would suggest at least
the following:
1. Personal Integrity.
Socrates recommended, "Know thyself" and
Shakespeare added, "to thine own self be true." Knowing who we are, what we
value and making sure that our words and actions match is fundamental. Doing
unfulfilling work or living in an environment that doesn't suit us will surely
undermine our long-term success. Too many of us live "lives of quiet
desperation" and that is NOT a foundation on which to build a life!
2. Clear Thinking.
Many of us grew up in the "feel good" generation and we are confused about the
role of thought (education, planning, skills and tools) verses emotion. We let
our hopes, wishes, fears, or "hang-ups" run our lives. High achievers take time
to think clearly, seek expert advice, plan wisely, and learn from the mistakes
of others. The Old Testament says that "wisdom comes from a multitude of
advisors." Some strategies just work better than others. Buildings are always
designed and "blueprinted" in advance. Our lives should be designed just as
carefully.
3. Unfailing Optimism.
This is not shallow "positive thinking", but a clear-headed, conscious faith in
the future and in your own potential. "Where there is a will, there is a way,"
or as Hannibal said over 2000 years ago, "We will find a way, or make one." High
achievers believe in their skills, in their plans, and in their futures. They
forge ahead with confidence built on integrity and careful planning.
4. Hard Work.
Ben Franklin observed, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man (or woman)
healthy, wealthy and wise." I've heard people say achievement should be
"effortless" and I agree that sometimes enormous amounts of work can flow easily
and quickly, but I also know that creating a great life usually requires
dedication, personal discipline, attention to detail, and effort.
5. Patience and
Persistence. A great life is
rarely built in a day. It takes time develop a life of one's own. There will be
mistakes and wrong turns along the way, and highly successful people are neither
surprised nor disheartened by this. They simply get a good night's sleep and
start again in the morning. They learn from their mistakes, correct them, and
move on with better skills and more effective strategies.
From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of
VA - 07/28/08 - "The Old Man and His Moped":
The Old Man and His Moped
An elderly man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a
doctor at a street light.
The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya'
got there, Sonny ?"
The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars! "
"That's a lot of money," says the old man. " Why does it cost so much?"
"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the doctor proudly.
The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"
"No problem," replies the doctor.
So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back
on his Moped, the old man says, " That's a pretty nice car, all right....
but I'll stick with my Moped!"
Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what
his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds. The speedometer reads
160 mph.
Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting
closer !
He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly, WHOOOOSSSHHH !
Something whips by him going much faster!
"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?" the doctor asks himself.
He presses harder on the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph.
Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the Moped !
Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and passes
the Moped at 275 mph and he's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror
and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN! Astounded by the speed of this
old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320
mph.
Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again! The Ferrari
is flat out, and there's nothing he can do!
Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear
end.
The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably, the old man is still alive.
He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, " I'm a doctor.... Is there
anything I can do for you?"
The old man whispers, " Unhook my suspenders from your side view mirror".
Thanks, Joyce!
From Norris Perry (Warwick HS, '59) of VA - 07/29/08 - "Longevity predictor":
Oh, thanks,
Norris!
This
one is waaay cool, with
delightful depictions of "The Real You" as you progress. And according to
this version, I'll keep "progressing" until I'm 80!
WHOO-HOO!
From
Christine Wilson Starkman ('68) of CA - 07/29/08 - "NASA":
|
Dear Carol, Our neighbor-across-the-street, Jim Fay, father of Cathy (68) and Jo Anne (69) worked at NASA. If my memory serves (which it don't always do  ),
the girls referred to their dad's work as "N-A-S-A," rather than "Nasa,"
which we hear today. I think my father referred to it as "Nasa" also. He
was from Connecticut and worked in aerospace. I wonder if the different
pronunciation was regional...
A very nice midi version of REM's "Man on the Moon"
and many interesting songs.
|
Thanks, Chris!
I just so happen to actually remember the answer to
your question! 
Prior to July 29, 1958, the facility at
Langley was the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics or "N-A-C-A", for
short.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Advisory_Committee_for_Aeronautics
After it's conversion, it was naturally called "N-A-S-A" for a while until the easier "NASA" acronym gained precedence among the local residents.
And thanks for the midi and theme idea, too, Chris!
Stay tuned.....

Phil Hammond ('64) of UT - 07/29/08
- "Camping in the Wasatch National Forest 7-08":
| Hi Carol, I am sending a few of the pictures from this weekend's camping trip in the Wasatch National Forest in the Uinta Mountains. I hope these pictures may give my typhoon friends a view of the rest of the country. We camped at Lost Creek which is approximately 10 thousand feet. It was 70 degrees during the day and very cold at night. The moose was at our camp site for most of the day. I fished the Bear River but could not find any fish! Anyway, I hope someone enjoys the photos. Regards, Phil |

From Polly White Bevins ('63) of VA - 07/29/08 - "Jerry
Smith":
Ronald ('65)
is a good friend of mine from NNHS days. He was
for quite some time Manager of Peninsula Funeral Home, but is no longer
there. (I saw him way too often at funerals - but miss him now). I've lost
touch, but maybe some of his classmates know how to reach him.
Oh,
thanks, Polly, I didn't realize that they were brothers!
Ron moved to Scottsville, VA a year or so ago. He was with Thacker Brothers Funeral home there for a time, but I believe now he has just retired to the life of a gentleman farmer. I rather think my emails no longer reach him, but then with an AOL addie, one can never tell.

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
with my girl.
I've even got the month of May
with my girl (fade)
