Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
| This old Jim Reeves song has always been a favorite of mine. Apparently it's been hanging around in my files since last November. I had quite forgotten it was there. |
UPCOMING
BIRTHDAYS:
A Very Happy
Birthday tomorrow to 
Tommie Mouser ('60) of VA, and on Friday to Darlene Willis Marshall
(Hampton HS - '68) of VA.
Many Happy Returns to you both!

Hi, Carol:
After recently visiting one of Our Old Stomping Grounds on Buxton Avenue in Newport News, we were surprised to find the marsh adjacent to the former Vic Zodda Restaurant is being filled in with dirt. This was part of Salter's Creek and marsh grass covered the area. The photo was taken on Buxton Avenue facing towards 25th Street. The former Vic Zodda Restaurant building is in the distance. |

Some changes are underway for this section. We were
going to photograph the house on Buxton Avenue where
Eva Ellis Madagan ('61) of FL and her brother, John
Eugene Ellis ('61) of FL resided when they graduated from
NNHS. We were taken aback upon
driving up Buxton Avenue to learn it is now debris being hauled away. |

How horrible for you - especially Eva! I am so sorry! I hope to have these images posted on the Vic Zodda page before the end of the day. Thanks for this report, Adonis - even if it was quite disturbing! |

From Me ('65) of VA to
Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 08/12/06 - "New Teacher Pages":

In anticipation of not being connected after 08/17/06, I've been trying to
add as much content as possible to the site itself today in the moments I
was able to steal online. I thought the best place to concentrate would be
on the Faculty pages, so there are seven new teachers listed now: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/faculty.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teachers.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Fooks.html - brand new page http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Graham.html - brand new page http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Lovelace.html - brand new page http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Milne.html - brand new page http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Sanders.html - brand new page http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Shirley.html - one new image http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Shockley.html - brand new page

From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA to
Me ('65) of NC - 08/12/06:
| Did I miss something? Why will you
not be connected after 17 Aug? D |
From Me ('65) of VA to
Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 08/12/06 - "Connections":
We've been
without any income since 
Paul's (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of NC) job ended on 30 June. No
new employment has been secured. Unemployment hasn't kicked in. Time-Warner
Cable gets a bit testy when the phone/cable/internet bill isn't paid, and
relieves you of their service. I mentioned it in several Newsletters.
The combined bill (which I can't seem to locate at the moment) is about
$153.00 a month, and is one month behind.Barring something miraculous, I'd say it all shuts down on the 17th or shortly thereafter. The electricity - also one month behind) is $207.20 per month, and will be shut off on the 24th. Due to frequent and persistent panic attacks, I haven't had "da noive" to speak with the landlord yet, but the rent of $475.00 was due on August 1. The car insurance will cancel on August 17. The water bill is behind and in jeopardy. The trash pickup ($13.00 a month) is good until Sept. 15. Our health insurance ended with the job, so physician visits are now a thing of the past, and our diabetes/hypertension medications will run out later this week. Paul, of course, can go to the VA Hospital/Clinic just down the street, and I, uh, well, I can just get over it. 
Dale (Harty - American School, IL - '02 - of NC) is leaving for
college next week. In addition to buying his books and school supplies, he's
been paying for the gas plus medicine and incidentals and a bill here or
there, bless his sweet heart everlastingly.

Am I That Easy to Forget?
Words and Music by Carl Belew and W.S. Stevenson
(Jim Reeves)
They say you've found somebody new,
But that won't stop my loving you.
I just can't let you walk away,
Forget the love I had for you.
Guess I could find somebody, too,
But I don't want no one but you.
How could you leave without regret?
Am I that easy to forget?
Before you leave be sure you find
You want your new love much more than mine.
'Cause I'll just say we've never met,
If I'm that easy to forget?
If I'm that easy to forget?
