Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   Today's theme comes to you at the suggestion of    Sepi Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC - 07/26/07:

..... Later: .....  'Summer in the City', Lovin' Spoonful.....

   This is another one of my favorites! It reminds me of the summer of 1966, which primarily I spent in Richmond. It was a very fun time for me. Thanks, Sepi!

   And if you'd like to watch it in an original performance, looky here:

NOTE:

  From Me ('65) of NC - 08/02/07:

   While my #6 son,       Dale (Harty - Hillsboro High, IL/American School, IL - '02) of VA, was home for the past few days, at my request (and delaying his departure a bit), he graciously switched a couple of my systems for me.  In the long run this is going to greatly simplify my life and save me an incredible amount of time.  But at this point in my life I'm a slow learner, and will need a little period of time to adapt to the new ways.

   The next two or three (or more) regular Newsletters will have shifted content as I do this.  Some bits and pieces you might never suspect are literally taking me hours to process.  While some older items may finally be making an appearance, some new things may be delayed a bit.  Don't worry if you don't see something you just sent me. 

   And try not to search for any logic in what does appear.   SHHH - I'm "thinking"!

BIRTHDAYS - TODAY AND UPCOMING:

   Happy Birthday today to  The United States Coast Guard (1790). Tomorrow,   Frank Friedland ('60) of VA will be celebrating a milestone birthday, and    Susan Whitcomb Harlin ('72) of TX will light those candles on Monday!

   Congratulations and Many Happy Returns to One and All!

   Y'all be sure to take a look at that page.  How are we going to wish you a happy birthday (or in the case of my coo-coo brain, forget to wish you a happy birthday) if we don't know when it is?!?  Thanks!

  From Bill Lee (Warwick HS - '54) of NC - 07/26/07 - "Hilton Happy Days":

Carol:

..... Recently, I created the attached, for use by a Menchville High School business class - who was/is developing a web site about Hilton Village businesses. I know it's too long for insertion in one of your newsletters, but you may find it interesting, and worthy of being referenced.

Bill Lee (WHS - Class of 1954)

 From Wilma Salmon Robinson (Warwick HS - '51) of VA - 07/26/07 - "HISTORIC HILTON VILLAGE.pdf":

Dear Carol,

I thought you might like to see this article written by    Bill Lee of the Warwick High School Class of 1954 that my sister, Fay Salmon Clark (WHS), sent me. It is very endearing and brings back fond memories. I'm sure many WHS alums will love it too.

Fondly,
Wilma Salmon Robinson <><
WHS '51
NNHS '56-57

   I'm still working on this. I just didn't want y'all to think I had forgotten it..... Thanks, Bill and Wilma!

  From Cheryl Mays Howard ('66) of VA - 08/01/07 - "Brunette or Blonde":

Hi wonder woman...hope you are having a great summer.

Here is a picture I found of    Mr. Etheridge,    Diane Winkler, and    Me.   We were at a Hawaiian dinner Peace & Blessing, Cheryl

  From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 08/01/07 - "Cherokee Right of Passage":

Cherokee Right of Passage

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of passage?

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.

He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!

Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.

We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, our Heavenly Father is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.

   Thanks, Shari!

   From F.A. Saunders (Hampton HS - '64) of VA - 08/01/07 - "Fresh Fruit Ice Cream Company":

Thanks to    Bill Lee (Warwick HS - '54 - of NC) who identified the ice cream shop in Hilton and gave the history. I can remember going in there and the white fans over head spinning and moving around the luscious smell of fresh cream and fruit. I always ordered the orange ice flavor......yummy!!!!! Couldn't find that flavor any where else that I knew of. Bank of America is on the site where it used to be.

   Thanks again, Frank! I added your new comment to that page:

    From Dave Arnold ('65) of AV - 08/01/07 - "  Coach Nuttycombe":

Carol,

 

Had the opportunity to attend the Peninsula Sports Club recognition dinner tonight for Coach Nuttycombe.  He thought he was there to be the speaker rather than to be recognized.  Several of the Typhoon were there including    Jerry ('65) and   Judy (Phillips - '66) Allen,    Chuck and Marilyn (Payne) Springfield (both '66),   Mickey Marcella ('54), and   Skip Wood ('65 - of NC).  Horace Underwood ('61) is President of the PSC and served as master of ceremonies.  It was nice to see Coach recognized as a person who influenced so many young people over the years.

Dave Arnold

   Thank you, Dave!   Edna Whitcomb Harrison ('65) of VA sent me a nice collection of images from the night's proceedings. That's one of the very many things on my to-do list.

  From Sepi Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC - 08/02/07 - "Dave Spriggs: A Question ? ":

Carol...

I have a question for     Dave Spriggs ('64 - of VA), and anyone else that might know.  Last week on our trip to McLean, Va. we visited my mom-in-law at Arleigh Burke Pavilion.  Now I know he was a famous Admiral in the Navy, but no one seemed to know what he was famous for.  Not even my father-in-law, who was a Navy fighter pilot in Korea and Vietnam, after that he was a test pilot...A Graduate of the Academy about 60 years ago, and bless him, he didn't know either, or maybe he couldn't remember!  Not even the folks that worked there really knew except to say, "Why, he was a very famous Admiral!" 

Well....Duhhhhhhh!  His picture and his wife's picture blanketed the walls.  Her name was Roberta Burke, and apparently she was well known for something other than being his wife.  Charities perhaps?  No one seemed to know that either. All I really remember about his pictures are mainly his eyes...not the gentle eyes of our sweet   Herb Hice, but the eyes of some one that was all about himself. Sorry if I offend any one, he could have been one of the nicest guys that rode the seas.  Capt. Dad (ret.) just knows about jets and how to push them through the air, NASA, and rockets and astronauts, his favorite subjects, and for your own good don't get him started with his stories....please.  I would appreciate any information.  The folks in residence there are Alzheimer's patients and are unable to help me. 

Thank you in advance. 

Sepi Prichard a.k.a. "Dimples"

   Thanks, Sepi! Let's find out!

    From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 08/03/07 - "Admiral Arleigh Burke, USN (Ret); USNA Class of 1923":

OK, I could write volumes about this member of the Navy Pantheon, but it has already been done.

Have a look here:  http://www.history.navy.mil/bios/burke_arleigh.htm

Also, there is a large entry on Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arleigh_Burke

Here is his official Navy obituary:  http://www.navy.mil/navydata/people/cno/burke/burkobit.txt Here is a photo of his grave marker at the Naval Academy cemetery in Annapolis. Note his preferred honorific: "SAILOR". As for Mrs. Burke (Bobbie):  http://www.lonesailor.org/ed_artifacts_burke.php Happy Reading, Dave

   Thank you, Captain! Nobody does it better!

From the Daily Press - 08/04/07:

   As Mr. Adelson was such a big part of our community, I have posted his obituary on the North End page.  That section is arranged as a tour.  The Pharmacy was at 50th Street, so this appears in about the center of the page:
