Do It Again

"Money buys you everything except the chance to do it again."

- Matthew Clayfield
(b. about 1985)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   Forty-eleven years ago, a very wise woman told me that if you wanted people to like you, do something nice for them; if you wanted people to love you, let them do something nice for you.

   I must say, I can feel that love!  Thank you all so very much!

   Today's Newsletter theme represents the first in a series of twelve Beach Boys themes to round out our summer, as suggested by our Wonderful Wizard of Wonderment:

 


    From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 08/12/06 - "More MIDIs":

Well ....... it is August and in 1964 we would all be at Buckroe all day every day.  So why not do a series of Beach Boys?

You can pick 'em off at this site:  http://rock.mididb.com/beachboys/
(Be careful; some are karaoke, with background only, e.g. "God Only Knows")

And you can d/l the lyrics here:  http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Beach-Boys-lyrics/505A50D462AD5CE84825699D00291A07

Should get us thru the end of August.

D

   It should indeed, Captain - thanks!  What a great choice!

   And if any of y'all ever find that elusive time machine, Buckroe in 1964 is the very first place I want to see!

   Meanwhile, take a look at these fabulous images Dave found for us nearly three years ago:

   It is so good to hear from you!  You picked a rather embarrassing time (for me!) to join us, but I've been trying for years to divest myself of false pride, so maybe this period in my life will expedite that!

   Whenever you have memories to share, just send them.  We're always delighted to receive them.

        
   Welcome aboard, Sweetie!  Give    Susie (Jeffers Garrett - '63 - of NC) and your brothers our love.

And, Thank you for all that you do......

   Thank you, Bobby!    And welcome aboard, Edward!  I've added your name to our Alumni Page - the first member of the Class of 1947 - and to our (usually) hidden mailing lists:  Feel free to send your memories.  That's how we grow.

From Mimi Weger Green ('40) of VA - 08/15/06:

Dear Carol,

You do so much for so many. As old as I am, I still enjoy reading about you young folks, and think it's wonderful that you bring so many old friends together. I know a lot of the people who write you, through my children,    Ronni (Green Cristol - '64 - of MD) and    Ricki (Green Gray - '68 - of NC), and find it so interesting to be brought up to date on their whereabouts, etc. I also love the stories about all the old "stompin' grounds." I was born and raised in Newport News; so it is very dear to my heart.

I'm putting a small check in the mail. Wish it could be more, but if each person who enjoys your newsletters would send a little something, maybe it could help solve your current problems. I hope your situation improves shortly.

Wishing you all the best - physically, mentally, and financially.

Miriam (Mimi) Weger Green. NNHS Class of '40
(Mrs. Danny Green)

   Thank you so very much, Mimi!  I really appreciate that!

 


  From Joe Wingo, President of the Class of 1965, of NC - 08/16/06:

Dear Carol,

First, I'm thrilled that the response to you emergency has been so broad. As far as how you choose to handle the newsletter costs going forward, might I just say that now everyone knows the financial strain involved, it seems like all you need to do is to begin each month with a notice of what the coming month's publishing cost will be. Your readers will take it from there now, I do believe.

The main point, in my view, is that you need not bear this expense yourself! Certainly your time and devotion to this process is a mighty contribution from you already.

Brighter days are ahead!!

Take care of yourself.
Joe

   Thank you so very much, Sweetie!  I'm keeping a separate accounting of all donations I've received.  Several of them were earmarked for specific purposes, many had  "use however is needed", and several - remarkably - even specified, "Go get yourself a treat!"

   Once we are again self-sufficient (and job applications have been sent, and are continuing to be sent daily), and the sheer panic has abated, I'll place the balance in a Web Site Sustainment Fund as an endowment for the Site.

   Thank you still seems such a lame thing to say to one who has literally saved my life.  You are my hero!

   See you in September!

 


  From Don Chaney ('66) of MD - 08/16/06:

Carol,
 
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will go to the bank at lunch time today. Will email you afterwards.

Don Chaney, Branch Chief
OTSO/DOCPM/MCMB

   Emails are good, but the surprise phone call was even more fun!  Thank you so very, very much - for everything!

   I'll see you in September!   I hear there'll be dancing!

   Oh, goody!  Anagrams!  Don't tell me - I got it!  No, really, I got it!

"On the Side of Doing Outstanding, Caring, Personal Ministries: Magnanimous Chief Master Boss"!  RIGHT?!?   GIGGLES!!!  Thanks again, Sweetie!

 


  From Harron Ellenson ('65) of MA - 08/16/06 - "NNHS 65 website":

it's working now!!!
 
Very strange
 
Best,
 
Harron

 

Harron Ellenson
President
Harron & Associates
229 Berkeley Street
Boston, MA 02116

   AHA!  I located the problem, Harron!  It was working for me when I found your message and when I edited that Newsletter, but later I found that 00freehost and all its sites were down for several hours.  That happens from time to time, usually at the very most inconvenient time for me. There's nothing I can do about it except hope and pray they resolve their problems soon, and this time they appear to have done just that.

   Thanks again, Harron!

 


  From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 08/16/06 - "A TYPHOON Health Tip":

Hi, Carol:
 

Since learning that    Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61) has Type Two Diabetes, I would like to pass along a health tip to you and your many subscribers.
 

Eliminate all breads, which turn to sugar immediately. A good substitute and one that satisfies the craving for bread is Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted whole grain bread. It is found in the freezer display case at the health food section of most supermarkets.
 

My dear friend,    Nancy Keesee Barr ('57) of TX gave me a great tip, use Fleishmann’s Olive Oil butter with the Ezekiel Bread. It makes great toast fit for a king.
 

The high protein recipe is given in the Old Testament in the Holy Scriptures:

“Take also unto thee Wheat and Barley and Beans and Lentils and Millet and Spelt and put them in a vessel and make bread of it..” Ezekiel 4:9.
 

That is my health tip of the day!
 

TYPHOON Regards,

Joe Madagan (’57) of FL

   I will definitely check into this, Joe!  If I can't find it there, there's a great health food store just ten minutes away on my regular beaten path!  Thanks!

 


  From Betty Brockwell McClure ('58) of VA - 08/16/06 - "Hold On":

Dear Carol,
 
I have been crying since reading your note regarding your financial situation.  I know personally how it feels to have that panicky feeling inside as I wonder when my husband (or I) will ever find a job.  It's a stressor of the highest degree!  I am looking for a job now (at age 65!); fortunately, my husband's job is secure.
 
Carol, I am so sorry that I have not sent a contribution toward the Newsletter.  I just hope that my measly little check will help you in some small way.  I will mail it tomorrow.  If I were able, I would send much more.
 
My tears continue as I read about all the wonderful NNHS alumni who are responding to your crisis.  Obviously, they all love you as I do.  I have never met you, but I know you are a lovely lady, inside and out!
 
"All things work together for good to them that love God".  (Romans 8:28)  My Papa used to tell me this quite often.
 
Love to you, Carol, and your Family,
 
Betty Brockwell McClure ('58)

   Thank you so much, Betty - especially for all your kind, sweet words!    Please do not put yourself in any jeopardy on my account!  I have a calm feeling (USUALLY - GIGGLES!!!) that everything will work out well for us, as you say.  This has really been a very healing experience for us all, in different ways, and for different reasons.

   You take care of yourself, and our prayers and best wishes go with you in your job search!

 


From One of my Famous Marines -    Herb Hice of MI, who served in the Pacific Theater
during WWII - 08/16
/06 - "Dear Carol, People love to be asked for voluntary Contributions to help out.":

Dear Carol,

When I sent you all those cheerful messages (look for the silver lining, Etc., Etc., Etc.), I had no idea that you were hurting so much financially. I don't understand how you kept such an upbeat Demeanor. Your sense of humor never seemed to leave you. I sure admire your fortitude in the face of adversity. I am proud to be your friend. 
You are truly blessed to have so many real friends. Of coarse to have a friend, You must be a friend, so it is said, And you are a friend to so many people !!! You truly are a
  "Remarkable Woman".

   WOWZERS!  Thank you, Herbie Darlin'!    I rarely lose my sense of humor.  Even when things are bleakest, there is generally someone around trying to persuade me to stop my loud, boisterous laughter.

   "Can somebody please muzzle that crazy woman?!?"

   What I do lose is my ability to concentrate.......

Now !!! You put the pressure on me to keep up the humorous dialog and pictures. That's not anything unusual because I am a little nutty anyway !!! As you know I love Animals, Especially Dogs and Cats so, As soon as a few Cuddly pictures come my way, I will send them your way. A person cannot have too much laughter in their lives. Thank you Dear Carol, for being my Friend. Remember, A laugh a day keeps the Doctor away.

On a lighter note, if    LINDA MAY (Bond Cayton - '66 - of VA) wants an E-Mail friend, I am the friend she is looking for. I don't know what we would talk about but, We could laugh a lot. I could explain to her what a "Herbiger" is ??? I won't explain it to you cause you already know !!!

More later, Your Friend, Herbie

   Well, there ya go!  MORE GIGGLES!!!

   Thanks, Sweetie!

 


  From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 08/16/06:

Hi, Carol:
 
While reading the Newsletter today, I thought my computer may have been suddenly hit with a virus, for the screen got so blurry. Then I realized how moving it was to read of the love and compassion shown to you and    Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61) in your time of need, and that just maybe this old "Jarhead/Dogface" was shedding a few tears of joy. It is trust in those with whom we grew up as TYPHOON (and others as well) that make reading your emails and visiting the website so special to us all. That same trust confirms you have friends who really do care, and are willing to share. It just does not get any better!!!

   AMEN to that!

My haste and lack of proof reading my last message to you caused me much embarrassment as I read the newsletter today. I promise to do better in the future.

   Well, Adonis, the proofreading is really ultimately my responsibility.  My eyes were having difficulty focusing then.  I still don't see anything wrong, so I'm using that "Inability to Concentrate" card.....

We just published an article on the USS Enterprise (CV-6) in "The Seahorse" and when it is added to the website of the United States Seagoing Marines Association I will send along the website link, for those who enjoy military history. She was the most decorated ship in World War II.

   SUPER!!!  We'll look forward to that!
 

May I add my "Thanks" to the "TYPHOON Family" for their wonderful acts of compassion, by digging into their "Samaritan Purse" to ease the pain.
 
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   Thanks again, Sweet Adonis!  They are just the best!

 


  From Jay Styles ('68) of NC - 08/16/06 - "NNHS 65 website":

Hello Carol,
 
Hope you are MUCH better now.  Seems I remember someone saying that you don't have to suffer alone, that you had a large support base, and if everybody pitched-in the load would be much easier to manage.  I just returned from my trip to Hilton Head, SC and learned of your troubles, which I hope are in the past-tense.  I am sending you a check made out to you, to use in anyway that you desire, even if it's to lay-in a years supply of bubble-gum.  From time-to-time, more will follow with the same instructions and limitations.  Go out and splurge!  Saturday we drove through Fayetteville (is that pronounced Fetville?) and I thought of you. 

   That is correct, although I've also heard the variant, "Federal".

It was also the hottest town that we drove through on the way. 

   Yes, we do often hold that dubious distinction.  I'm with you - LET IT SNOW!!!

If you saw a Torch Red Chevy going South on Rt. 421 that was us.  Saw three alligators on the trip, the first that we've seen in the wild.  While water skiing, dolphins came to within 20-25 feet of us, now that was way cool, even though it was hot and humid.  I do love these mountains. 

   WOWZERS!!!

An old and dear friend told me the other day that too many times in your rush to find something, sometimes all you have to do is look under your nose.  There's a whole TYPHOON nation under yours that loves you to death.  Please take care.
 

Jay Styles, '68

   And one of these first days when I'm not afraid I'll short out my keyboard with my tears, I'll try to tell you just why that is such a treasured feeling for me......

   Thanks so much, Sweetie!  I really enjoyed talking with you the other day!

 


From One of my Famous Marines -    Herb Hice of MI, who served in the Pacific Theater
during WWII - 08/16
/06 - "Dear Carol, On the road again.":

Dear Carol,

To start the oh's and aw's again,

Your Friend, Herbie

   Ohhhhh!  Awwww!  WILD GIGGLES!!!

   Thanks, Herbie!

   
     
     


  From Cheryl Pless Ramsey ('64) of VA - 08/16/06:

Dearest Carol,

Since I don’t check my e-mail on a regular basis, I did not know of your financial difficulties.  I can’t tell you how much I enjoy this wonderful Newsletter, as I know all our Classmates do.  You bring so much joy to our lives daily—I just don’t know how we would get along without you!

I am sending your way a check which will help in a small way and is a small “thank you” from me for all the wonderful things you do for all of us.  You are truly an inspiration!!

May God Bless you and your family!

I look forward to seeing you soon!

                                                            Typhoons Forever!!

                                                            Cheryl Pless Ramsey (Class of ’64)

      Thank you so much, Cheryl - for everything!    Does this mean you're coming to '66's Open Reunion?!?  YES???  Surely you won't want to miss this third Magical Mystery Tour of the school!

  From Cathy Slusser Hudson ('64) of VA - 08/16/06 - "Love and Blessings":

Hi Carol:
 
Just wanted to let you know that, I just had the bank send you a small donation to help with whatever needs to be done. I hope all will work out for you and your family. Just remember that God blessed all of us with your talents and wisdom. If not for you, all of us would never have gotten to know each other and been able to share our stories in life, our joys and troubles, and yes, our Tears too. 
 
  Catherine Hudson

   Oh, my goodness, Cathy!  Sometimes your words just blow me completely away!  Thank you so much - for everything!

 


    From My #2 Son, Brent Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of IL - 08/16/06 - "Before
and After":

Amazing!  ... I'm stunned ...

Who would have thought that all your efforts for NNHS reunions and websites, etc, that seemed to me as often as not a use of time that could have been spent more wisely, would someday have stood as the reason that your family now has the temporary wherewithal to pay off bills in a time of great need?!  I would never have thought this to be a possibility of such blessings as you now are receiving....  It is great to see the work of angels, our brothers and sisters, here on earth to support us and guard the way in our time of need... even when it is financial.

Best wishes and love you all...bh

   Thank you, Brent!   It's just as I've been trying to explain to y'all all these years.  These are simply The Finest People in the World!!!

 


  From Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 08/17/06 - "Our Wish for you is the VERY BEST to come
your way!":

Carol: 

You mean so much to so many of us and we all know that you are so special.  I have an envelope going in the mail today to help in some way as you go through the difficult time of a job loss.  Our prayer is that    Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61) will soon find employment that will be exactly what he wants/needs and is suited to him.  At this time, the amount of my donation is not as much as I would like to send; however, now that I am retired, I am trying to budget somewhat. 
 

The very best to you, Carol...and to Paul.
Take care, Fred Mays, '60 of Newport News, VA

   Thank you so very much, Fred - for everything!

 


  From Mike Jeffers ('61) of VA - 08/17/06 - "Old Stuff":

  Susie's (Jeffers Garrett - '63 - of NC) health could be better but she's still smiling, and all the Brothers including baby bro Jack (born when I was a freshman in college) are doing great including moue' (that's me) . Mom (Sara Kibler Jeffers) passed away in '03.   

I looked around for a way to add my email to the contact list but no luck.  Let me know how to do that.  I always thought I was 5 years older than you, but it is only 4 years-nine months (I was born in '42). 

   I just changed your birth year to '42 from the '43 I had posted, and added your email addie for you.  I'm sure there's a way to make the site interactive, but that's way over my head, so I'll just keep giving myself extra work.  It keeps me off the streets.

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html

 
 
   I remember when your baby brother was born.  Your mama used to call him "Jack Kevin".  My mama and I used to baby sit him at our apartment in Stuart Gardens about the time he started walking.  I had a snapshot of him I carried in my billfold for years.  What a doll baby he was!
 
   I'm glad you're well and happy!

I remember Peterson's Yacht Basin.......
 

Thanks.......Mike J. 

   WILD RAUCOUS GIGGLES!!!  Thanks, Gorgeous!

 


  From Carolyn Simpson Knight (‘56) of VA - 08/17/06 - "NNHS 65 website":

Hi Carol,

Hopefully, things are “looking up” for you and your family and that it will only continue to get better.   I have a favor to ask.

First, the “absolute deadline” for reservations for the 50th - Year Reunion celebration of the Class of 1956 is September 15, 2006!!   Checks may be mailed to    Judy Leggette Elliott:

          Judy Leggette Elliott
            15 Rivercrest Drive
            Poquoson, VA 23662

Secondly, I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the address (and telephone number) of  Coach William “Bill” Chambers, Jr.  I’ve been told that perhaps    Joe Madagan ('57 - of FL) has this information.  Will he share it with me???  Coach Chambers was one of our class sponsors, and we’d like to invite him to our reunion (and the invitations need be mailed out the end of this week).

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion-class-of-1956.html

Thanks Carol, and keep your chin up!!!  Good things happen to someone that we all love.

Carolyn Simpson Knight, ‘56

“Typhoons Forever”

   Thanks, Carolyn!
 

 

  From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 08/18/06:

Hi, Everyone:

Greetings from Tampa Bay:
 

  Coach Bill Chambers resides in Alexander City, Alabama.....

I am certain he would be delighted to hear from the Class of 1956. He is retired now, and has difficulty traveling. Even if he is unable to make it to Newport News, he will be touched to receive an invitation since he was one of the NNHS Class of 1956 sponsors.

Here is the contact information:

   (sent to Carolyn, and available upon request)
 
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   Thanks, Major Madagan!
 

 

  From Carolyn Simpson Knight (‘56) of VA - 08/17/06

Greetings from “Hot and Humid” Newport News!!!

Thanks,    Joe (Madagan - '57 - of FL) and    Carol (Buckley Harty - '65 - of NC), as well as    Dave (Spriggs - '64 - of VA),   Billy (Turner - '65 - of TX) and   Wayne (Stokes - '65 - of VA).   I knew if anyone could find    Coach Chambers, it would be one of you.   I really appreciate the speedy reply.   So far, I’ve found nine teachers that we plan to invite, and Coach Chambers makes it ten.  It would be wonderful if all ten could attend, so that we could reminisce and enjoy the wonderful memories of our teachers and fellow classmates at N.N.H.S.!!!   Fifty years have gone by so quickly!!!!!

TYPHOON Regards and Love,

Carolyn Simpson Knight, ‘56

   WOWZERONI!!!  Do keep us posted, Carolyn! 

   (And I'll try to have all this posted on your reunion page before tomorrow....)

ATTENTION: NNHS CLASS OF 1964

The 60th Birthday Celebration
for Members of the NNHS Class of 1964

will be held
on Saturday, October 14, 2006, 7:00 - 11:00 PM at Spirit Events,
12672 Patrick Henry Drive, Newport News, VA 23602.

INFORMAL "SOCK HOP" (WEEJUNS AND BLEEDING MADRAS, IF YA GOT 'EM), CATERED FOOD, ADULT BEVERAGES, MUSIC, DANCING, BIRTHDAY CAKE 

We all agree that the Class of 1964 throws the best parties, and we really were flattered that so many members of other classes attended our 40-year Reunion.  However, the Committee chose to invite only members of the Class of 1964
to our 60th Birthday Celebration.

But, the good news for all you High School Reunion "Junkies" out there
is that you can look forward to our 45-year Reunion in 2009.

    As there will be bonus editions on both Saturday and Sunday, I've pulled some material to hold in reserve for you until then.

   Thank you once more for the incredible outpouring of love.  The crisis is not yet over, nor will it be until Paul has a new job, but for the moment, we can breathe easier, now that y'all have bought us some time.

    Returning to my It's a Wonderful Life (1946).metaphor, I'm reminded of this line spoken to George Bailey in one of the closing scenes: 

Clarence: Remember, George: no man is a failure who has friends.

   Like George, I never, ever dreamed I had so many friends.

 

   Y'all take care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER!

                          Love to all, Carol - the Richest Woman in Town

Do It Again

(Beach Boys)


It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when their
Hair was soft and long and the
Beach was the place to go

Suntanned bodies and
Waves of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again

With a girl the lonely sea looks good [and bright]
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight

Been so long
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)

Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again

Ow!
