Many Happy Returns, One and All!

Wait a minute... I'm no Marine (despite our       Darlin' Herbie's best efforts), but I'm a far cry from "normal".....

Somewhere in the eternities can still be heard the reverberating sounds of              my mama's (the late Maxine Frix Buckley - John Marshall HS - '25) (19 May 1908 - 15 Feb 1999) hysterical laughter from that day during my senior year when I came her from school and told her I had decided to join the Marine Corps.....

NEWSPAPERS NOTE NASTY NEGATIVITY

The concept of “objectivity in news coverage” was not even an ambition in 1860’s America. Newspapers were the property and mouthpieces of individual owners. While the vast majority of papers in both North and South fell promptly in line with the politics of their regions, there were a few exceptions on both sides. Today the offices of the Easton and West Chester newspapers in Pennsylvania, and Haverhill, Massachusetts, received unwanted, albeit unofficial, visitors. The management was suspected to be holding pro-Southern sentiments, and various of the readership objected. The publisher in Haverhill was subjected to the tar-and-feather treatment in an attempt to change his feelings, while the other papers’ offices were attacked by mobs and damaged.

TENNESSEE TRANSPORTATION TERRIBLY TRASHED

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad was a vital transportation route, both for the Confederacy and for internal traffic within a very long state like Tennessee. Taking control of this facility was a matter of great urgency for both Union and Confederate forces. The Union side had the upper hand on parts of it and intended to keep it. A raid set out today that would last for three days. Areas covered along the rail line included Pilot Knob, Drake’s Creek, Manscoe Creek, Edgefield Junction, and the Hartsville Road near Gallatin. A similar mission was launched in northern Mississippi, from Rienzi through the Marietta area.

DELAYED DRAFT DEFERMENT DETERMINED

The last time they had tried to hold the drawings for the Federal draft in New York City a massive riot had broken out which led to lynchings, arsons, looting, and the deaths of several hundred people. Troops who had just been through the battle of Gettysburg had to be called in to restore order. There was no escaping the inevitable, though, and today the call up was resumed. The bitterness of recent immigrants, primarily the Irish, who had no desire to fight for the liberation of slaves who they saw as competition in the search for jobs, had not abated, but violent resistance ceased. Some took the $300 bounty offered to serve as substitutes for others.

WARREN WAGES WELDON WARFARE

The battle of the Weldon Railroad continued today south of Petersburg, Virginia. A. P. Hill’s Confederates slammed into the Union infantry of Gen. G. K. Warren. The ground being fought over today had been similarly contested the day before as the Federal forces pushed past the Globe Tavern. Today the contest went the other way as the Confederates regained much of the ground lost. The division of S. W. Crawford was particularly hard-hit and lost more than 2500 men to capture. At sunset, however, Warren still held the vital rail link.

  From Mary Blandford McGehee ('62) of LA - 08/18/11:

Hi, Carol, Thanks for adding me to the list, and for sending the contact info for   Connie (McGhee Soles - '63 - of VA)! I live in Louisiana now--in fact I've been here since 1974. Prior to that, I taught in NN for four years, then was in southern California for four years, and have lived in Louisiana since. We get back to VA once or twice a year. Take care, and again, thanks! Mary    AHA! That's a mighty "fer piece down the road," I must say, but home is where you're happy!   Thanks, Mary!

       From My Daughter, Adrienne Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL / American School, IL) of NC - 08/18/11 - "Final Countdown":

Having received my call on Thursday, June 16 to serve an 18-month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Washington Seattle Mission beginning Wednesday, September 14, I'm making my final preparations now. I've finished with all the physicals, dental exams (all four wisdom teeth extracted), immunizations, eye exams (still waiting for my new glasses to arrive), and a plethora of other necessary details. This Saturday I'll go to the Raleigh Temple with my family and close friends to receive my endowment.  On Wednesday, September 7 we'll fly back to Illinois, where President Holt will set me apart on Tuesday, September 13. Then I'll fly to Salt Lake City the next morning. My friend April will meet me at the airport and drive me down to Provo to the Missionary Training Center where I'll spend about two weeks before flying to Seattle.

   From Sarah Puckett Kressaty ('65) of VA - 08/18/11 - "Our National Anthem sung by 'Dave's Highway' ":

fantastic! ... this is fantastic. Totally gave me goosebumps. These kids are amazing.   .....sung by a group known as "Dave's Highway".  No instruments, no microphones, no special effects. Just 3 young siblings (Erika, Delaney, and Zachary) singing the anthem as originally written, right in their own living room. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=QEGlsHS6tSQ Sarah Kressaty      WOWZERONI-RINI! Thank you so much, Sarah Sugah!

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 08/16/11: The judge warned the witness, “Do you understand that you have sworn to tell the truth?” “I do.” “Do you understand what will happen if you are not truthful?” “Sure,” said the witness. “My side will win.”
