Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
There are some cute little bunny rabbits that often play in our back yard here in Fayetteville. They're not white, but.....

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rabbit_%28song%29:
| "White Rabbit" is a
psychedelic rock/acid
rock song from
Jefferson Airplane's 1967 album
Surrealistic Pillow. It was released as a single and became
the band's second top ten success, peaking at #8[1]
on the
Billboard Hot 100. The song was ranked #483 on
Rolling Stone's list of the
500 Greatest Songs of All Time,[2]
#27 on
Rate Your Music's Top Singles of All Time and appears on
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
“White Rabbit” was written by
Grace Slick while she was still with
The Great Society. When that band broke up in 1966, Slick was
invited to join
Jefferson Airplane to replace their departed female singer
Signe Toly Anderson, who left the band with the birth of her
child. The first album Slick recorded with Jefferson Airplane was
Surrealistic Pillow, and Slick provided two songs from her
previous group: her own “White Rabbit” and “Somebody to Love”,
written by Darby Slick and recorded under the title "Someone to
Love" by The Great Society. Both songs became breakout successes for
Jefferson Airplane and have since been associated with that band...[3] |

| A pic of the roses,
Michael, that I ordered for you and NiNi. I had them put quadruple good luck on the card, Love, Daddy and NiNi. There was a line at one point of the opening and people were there waiting for noon. They did very well. People like the personalities of the owners, their skill as teachers, and the general ambiance. My decorating added just a little icing on the already baked cake! Frances |

Wayne
Stokes
('65) of VA - 07/29/13 - "A death occurred.":
| Obituary
printed in the London Times..... Absolutely Dead Brilliant !! Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: - Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm; - Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death - by his parents, Truth and Trust, - by his wife, Discretion, - by his daughter, Responsibility, - and by his son, Reason. He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers; - I Know My Rights - I Want It Now - Someone Else Is To Blame - I'm A Victim - Pay me for Doing Nothing.... Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.... OHHHH! I wish I'd written this myself! Is there no way to stop this insanity?? It's wreaking havoc with my blood pressure...
Thank you so much, Wayne
Honey!

From Jay Styles ('68) of VA - 07/29/13 - "What's The Dumbest Thing You Could
Say?":
| What's The
Dumbest Thing You Could Say? I've listened to government hearings before. Usually, it is painful and when it involves Congress, its usually distressing. But, this lady gets it right on this one. Wow! I don't know anything about her politics, but this is one of the best things I've seen from a Congressional hearing. An IRS contractor named Braulio Castillo hurt his foot playing football in military prep school. He never served in the actual military. Then one day, decades later, he used it to get preferred treatment in government contracts. Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who lost both her legs and still could lose her arm from combat injuries, felt that this might just be a touch inappropriate. It gets amazing around 4:30. http://www.upworthy.com/whats-the-worst-thing-you-could-say-to-a-congresswoman-who-lost-her-legs-in-battle-found-it?g=3 WOWZERS! Didn't you just want to stand up and cheer?!? Thanks so much, Jay Sweetie!  |

From Jay Styles ('68) of VA - 07/29/13 - "Excellent":
| Excellent! Love this Teacher... Outstanding!! Every school district needs at least one teacher like this. Maybe there wouldn't be so much of an entitlement attitude going around with today's generation of kids. SHE IS A TEACHER!!! Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a Military History teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal, and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. 'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?' She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.' They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said. 'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.' And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. Kids called their parents to tell them what was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk-less classroom, Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.' At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. They went halfway around the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and families so you could have the freedom you have. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. don't ever forget it.' By the way, this is a true story. And this teacher was awarded Veterans of Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year for the state of Arkansas in 2006. She is the daughter of a WWII POW. *Please consider passing this along so others won't forget either that the freedoms we have in this great country were earned by U. S. Veterans. Always remember them and the rights they have won for us. Blessings abound in the USA!* YES! Wouldn't it be great if we had more teachers like Martha Cothren? Wouldn't it be better still if our school systems were not so straddled with rules and regulations that such teachers could flourish?? Thank
you, Sweetie-Pies!

"
One
pill makes you larger
and one pill makes you small
and the ones that mother gives
you don't do anything at all -
go ask Alice, when she was just small.
And if you go chasing rabbits
and you know you're gonna fall
tell 'em a hookah
smoking caterpiller has given you the call
for Alice, when she was ten feet tall.
While men on the chessboard
get up and tell you where you go
and you've just had some kind of mushroom
and your mind is moving on - go ask Alice - I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
have fallen - sloppy dead
and the white knight is talking backwards
and the Red Queen says
"Off with her head," remember what the Dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head."
