From Linda Lane Lane ('64) of VA - 07/29/08 - but hiding in my
email and only found on 08/03/08:
Hi Carol,
I have been away from the computer for a while as I had my grandchildren
visiting for a month. They left Monday and it is so quiet around here the
cat has started talking again.
GIGGLES!!!
Ron Smith. Jerry died at a young age of
cancer. I believe he was married and studying to be a minister. I spoke to him
several times while he was receiving treatment at Vanderbilt Hospital. I never
saw Jerry without a smile on his face. He and Ron attended
Noland Memorial
United Methodist along with their parents. Wish I could remember dates
but.....
Jimmy DeBerry ('64 of VA) is home, and
hope my twin sister
Jamey (Douglas) Bacon ('66 - of VA) is on the mend.
Thank you, Linda-Linda!
Your note was doing an excellent job of hiding from me. Had I not had to restart
my computer this morning, it would still be missing, and I'd be none the wiser!
From David Rosenwasser
('64) of MO - 08/01/08 - "RE:
William Clark's 238th
Birthday":
Oh, absolutely!
In fact, I was thinking of you when I was creating that Newsletter! We'll be
back with more on this theme for Meriwether Lewis' birthday on August 18!
Thanks so much, David -
I do miss the St. Louis /St. Charles area!
Y'all go see it when you can!

Carol, I can't remember if I sent these to you or not. I have a friend in Keokuk (IA - just across the Mississippi River) who sent them to me. I have been to Nauvoo (IL) (back in 98), and it is one beautiful place, especially the restored area. |

WOWZERONI!!! Thank you so much, Johnnie!
This
was a major surprise - especially in view of our next item!
As there were 51 gorgeous images, I'll need to do something major league cool, and it'll take me a bit of time, but I certainly appreciate them! I've been to Nauvoo several times, but the last was almost exactly seven years ago!
The name "Nauvoo" actually means "to be beautiful", and indeed it was - and is again!

I'm glad you all enjoyed the Pageant! |

Thanks,

From Fuzzy Turner ('63) of NC - 08/01/08 - "Luke
AFB Wakeup Call":
Thought all might be interested.
Fuzzy (63)
Luke AFB Wakeup Call
Luke AFB is southwest of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by
civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes,
forgetting that it was there long before they were.
A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back.
Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local
paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the
mall. When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must
have stung quite a bit.
The complaint:
'Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base':
Whom do we thank for the morning air show? Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11
a.m., a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead Mall,
continuing west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet. Imagine our good
fortune! Do the Tom Cruise-wannabes feel we need this wake-up call, or were they
trying to impress the cashiers at Mervyns early bird special? Any response would
be appreciated.'
The response:
Regarding 'A wake-up call from Luke's jets' (Letters, Thursday):
On June 15, at precisely 9:12 a.m., a perfectly timed four-ship flyby of F-16s
from the 63rd Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base flew over the grave of
Capt. Jeremy Fresques. Capt. Fresques was an Air Force officer who was
previously stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was killed in Iraq on May 30,
Memorial Day.
At 9 a.m. on June 15, his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial Park
in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend. Based on the letter
writer's recount of the flyby, and because of the jet noise, I'm sure you didn't
hear the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, or my words to the widow and
parents of Capt. Fresques as I gave them their son's flag on behalf of the
President of the United States and all those veterans and servicemen and women
who understand the sacrifices they have endured.
A four-ship flyby is a display of respect the Air Force pays to those who give
their lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators and take our
jobs seriously, and on June 15 what the letter writer witnessed was four
officers lining up to pay their ultimate respects.
The letter writer asks, 'Whom do we thank for the morning air show?' The 56th
Fighter Wing will make the call for you, and forward your thanks to the widow
and parents of Capt. Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was in their honor
that my pilots flew the most honorable formation of their lives.
Grant L. Rosensteel, Jr.
Thank you, Fuzzy!
I ran this through
snopes.com, hoping to find that surely it wasn't true.
Unfortunately, it was:
Status: Truehttp://www.snopes.com/politics/military/wakeup.asp
However,
to his credit, the complainer, himself a veteran, write a very nice letter of
apology for his sarcastic remarks, once he became aware of the facts - which you
may read on the above link.

I Left My Heart in San Francisco
Music by George Cory
Lyrics by Douglass Cross,1954
(Tony Bennett, 1962)
The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
Is of another day
I've been terribly alone
And forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the bay.
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me.
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fog may chill the air
I don't care!
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
Your golden sun will shine for me!
