Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's
Red
Newsletter is an homage to
Woodstock, which ended 40 years ago today.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjOQ9r35uiU - Red House - Jimi Hendrix - at Woodstock, August 1969
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_House_(song):
"While playing Red House at Woodstock, Hendrix snapped his high E-string in the middle of the performance and kept playing the second half of the song with just five strings. 'Long' versions of the song like the Woodstock rendition are generally about 6–10 minutes.
"..."Red House" was inspired by Hendrix's first love Betty Jean Morgan and the New York apartment where Hendrix first met Keith Richard's then-girlfriend Linda Keith.[1]"

Forrest Powell
('63) of VA - 08/17/09 - "Old Magruder School on 22nd Street":
Carol,
The old Magruder School was in the 1100 block of 22nd Street not far from my home on the corner of 22nd and Roanoke Avenue. At one time after the old Magruder was closed, it became a book depository for the School Board. I remember when I was in the 6th grade, which had to be around 1957, Mr. Ramsey (?) recruited me to help him pack up books or something for him in the Old Magruder School basement. It actually later, if I recall correctly, became the School Board Administration building for awhile, probably in the late 1950’s or 1960’s.
Funny how my memory is clouded. Does 50 years do that to you?
Forrest Powell 1963
Thanks so much, Forrest!
But, HEY - I do remember Mr. Ramsey! He usually wore a brown suit, and taught us all how to dance. I noted even way back then as an elementary school student that he was remarkably light on his feet.

Hi Dimples,
RE: http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourworld/articles/Dorothy_Dale_Kloss_Oldest_Showgirl_in_the_World.html
She is great. Remember when John Belushi did a segment on Saturday Night Live as a dancer who outlived the rest, and he danced on their graves? Then he said, "Cause I'm a dancer!" I love it.

GIGGLES! Thanks,

From ArcaMax Jokes.com - 08/17/09:
Red
Tape At The Bank
My daughter called me at work to say I was to phone Ian at my bank. The operator
asked me what Ian's last name was and I explained that he hadn't left his
surname. When she asked for his department, I said I didn't know.
"There are 1500 employees in this building, ma'am," she advised me rather
curtly.
After a few more brusque comments, I asked her for her name.
"Danielle," she said.
"And your last name?" I asked.
"Sorry," she replied, "we don't give out last names."

(27 Nov 1942 – 18 Sept 1970)
There's a red house over yonder, that's where my baby stays.
There's a red house over yonder, baby, that's where my baby stays.
Well, I ain't been home to see my baby in about ninety nine and one half days,
'bout time I see her.
Wait a minute, something's wrong.
The key wont unlock the door.
Wait a minute, something's wrong, baby.
The key wont unlock the door.
I got a bad, bad feeling that my baby don't live here no more.
I might as well go on back down,
go back 'cross yonder over the hill.
I might as well go back over yonder
way back yonder 'cross the hill, (That's where I come from)
'Cause if my baby don't love me no more.
I know her sister will!
