  From Jane Chambers of VA - 08/08/09, 3:14 PM - "Possible Newsletter item.":

Dear Carol,
I thought you might want to consider mentioning the passing of    Mrs. Jane (Carney) Pillow in your NNHS Newsletter. I received the message below earlier today from her husband,    Graham Pillow, who taught at NNHS before he came over to CNC (then on 32nd Street) in 1962,  to begin his 16-year teaching career with us as physics professor (and later, computer science professor). I expect many NNHS alumni of the late 50s-early 60s will remember him, as well as some of your alumni who went to CNC in the 1960s- late 70s.

Many of your alumni of the later 60s - mid 70s will remember Jane Pillow as well, because she was CNC's Registrar from 1965 until 1974.  She was a gracious, warm, good-natured lady--very well liked by many students, and the student staff of the 1971 Trident dedicated that yearbook to her.

Both Jane and Graham Pillow are featured (including period photos) on pages 146-149 of Memories of Christopher Newport College: The First Decade.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Jane

From     Graham Pillow (Jefferson HS, Class of 1949) of FL to   Jane Chambers of VA - 08/08/09, 12:51 PM - "  Jane":

    Oh, no, I'm so very, very sorry to learn this! Thank you for letting us know, Jane. Our deepest condolences are extended to Mr. Pillow and his entire family and all their many friends.

    From Bill Campbell ('54) of VA - 08/15/09:

Carol,

I just wanted to let you know that    Jane Carney Pillow graduated from NNHS in 1950. Her sister,   Ann, was co-valedictorian, with Vianne Bryant, in my Class of 1954. Jane played the organ and Ann sang at my wedding in 1957. Both of the Carney girls were very sweet young ladies. I didn't know her other siblings.

Bill Campbell, '54
Williamsburg, VA

   Thank you so much for confirming that for me, Bill! I didn't know the three oldest Carney children, but    Ellen ('63) and I were in band together, and she was a very sweet girl, too.

  Y'all take good care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!

                          Love to all, Carol

Lead, Kindly Light

Lyrics by John Henry Newman, 1833
Music by John B. Dykes, 1865


Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!

So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it will,
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!

Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.
