RERUN AND COMPLETED:
From Joanne Kates Roos of VA - 08/15/06:
Dear Carol
-
I thought you might like to see the Daily Press Sunday, August 13, 2006 and Monday, August 14, 2006. A beginning series entitled "They dare to dream" - Who Built? A special look at local innovation from the past century and more. Sunday's story was on Collis P. Huntington and Monday's story was on my mother, Rena Nachman Kates. It would be neat to put this with your Nachman's Dept. Store site. Love your web site! Sincerely, Joanne Kates Roos
Joanne!
How nice to hear from you! It sounds invaluable! Thanks for letting us know!
Technically challenged as I
am, I tried for a good hour to find that story, before finally asking
the magical
Thank you again, David! |

Thank you so much for extracting and preserving this for us, David! It is posted at last - with top billing! I redesigned the page slightly, and read all those great memories one more time. What joy they bring! http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-stomping.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-N-R.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/nachmans.html

From Fuzzy Turner ('63) of NC - 08/16/06 - "*77 on cell phones":
MUST KNOW
*77 I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *77. It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. *Lauren's parents have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. * Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called * 77 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars near where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way. Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet place. You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (i.e. put on your hazard lights) or call *77 like Lauren did. Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little bit of wonderful information. *Speaking to a service representative at **Bell** Mobility confirmed that *77 was a direct link to state trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about *77. Send this to every woman (or person) you know; it may save a life.
WOWZERS!!!
Thanks for this valuable information, Fuzzy!

Dudes! Lock 'n Load..
Surf's Up! Or at least, incoming... I'm waxin' down my flak suit and my 9'8"
Dewey Weber. Oh, Carol.. Would this (attached video) be suitable for Beach Boys Month on the high school website? Bill Wal, YAH, Bill, it would, ummm. It would actually be perfect to somehow include on #6 in that series. The problem, of course, is I have absolutely no knowledge of how to attach a video onto a .html page. If I can locate an url for it, I can include the whole link as I did above. Lemme work on it.... Thanks, Bucky!

From Christine Wilson Starkman ('68) of CA - 08/18/06 - "Buckroe":
Thanks so much for that heartwarming story, Chris! ![]() I vividly remember seeing that play! The fact that I can recall it after 43 years is indicative of what an outstanding production it was! I'm delighted to know after all this time that you were in it, Lady! I do love seeing Life's Big Circle! I thought I had a surprise for you in connection with this, but it was not included in this material. On the very oldest
portion of the site - still in its original form for sentimental reasons of
my own - I believe you'll find some things of interest. My friend

Today
Words and Music by Randy Sparks
(New Christie Minstrels)
Today, while the blossoms still cling
to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I'll be a dandy, and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I can't be contented with yesterdays glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
