“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that
all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical
rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses
that are blooming outside our windows today.”

- Dale Carnegie
(24 Nov 1888 - 01 Nov 1955)

SAD NEWS:

 From Ed Nichols ('62) of Northern VA - 08/18/16, 1:20 PM - "Death notices and updates":

Hi, Carol,

I certainly hope you and family, and lots of family there is, are doing well and are healthy, which to you I know is a challenge. I think of you often and pray for you and      Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS IL - '61) especially. And I was saddened to see   Albert Simms, Jr.'s ('60) obituary for I often liked his input on the many things that cross this website's space.

Well moving along I have a couple of items to pass to you: The husband of Linda Mahanes Hardee, (NNHS, 1963, Editor of the Beacon),
Norman Carl Hardee of McLean, VA, passed away on July 18, 2016 at Fairfax Hospital, Fairfax, VA. He was born Nov. 28, 1937 in Greenville, NC. He was also my friend, boss and mentor for 28 years. He was an entrepreneur first class opening restaurants in VA, MD, PA, NC, TN under various names and always successful. But more than anything he will be remembered for how he treated his people and how many he helped when there was a need. That was for busboy and manager alike!

He left to survive, Linda, his wife of 50 years, a daughter, Lorianne, two sons, Norman Christopher Hardee and Joseph William Hardee, and lots of those grandees!! He was a giant in the restaurant business. (cause of death cancer)

Moving along:
William Gerald Bunting, a NNHS 1954 graduate, passed away Sept. 15, 2004 in Fairfax, VA. Jerry was born in Newport News, VA in August 1936 and initially went to work for Sears as quite a few NNHS folks did back then. Then Jerry joined Norman Hardee in the restaurant industry and of course was successful. He married
Joyce Lynn Majette, a HHS grad, b. Sept. 1938 Hampton, VA and d. Jan. 4, 1984. Second wife was Sylvia J. Bunting who died Mar. 2, 2008. Jerry died from liver cancer.

Carol, I condensed this as much as I could but feel free to do any magic that you see needs doing.

As always, Thank you.

   Oh, Eddie Darlin', I'm so sorry to learn all this! I'm not certain how I could have missed it originally, but thank you so much for letting me know. You have my sincerest condolences on the loss of your friends.

http://www.nnhs65.com/08-18-16-NNHS-Norman-Hardee.html

   As for Paul and me, we are holding up fairly well, some days are better than others, but we seem to be doing better than many we know, so we'll not complain.


DISTURBING NEWS:

   From George Helliesen ('61) of VA to Buddy David ('61) of VA - 08/18/16 - "55-Year Reunion":

Buddy,

Thanks for the information regarding the 55-year reunion. I will not be able to come because I had a stroke back in May and I still have some residual affects which would cause some problems. They are still trying to catch an aneurysm in the brain. I will try and send a couple of dollars to help the cause.

Thanks for all the work you do.

George H.

     A STROKE?? AN ANEURYSM?!? George, how did I miss all this before??? I'm sorry you won't be able to attend your reunion, but I'm even sorrier to learn why! Take extra care of yourself, and we'll keep you in our prayers!

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 08/18/16:

During a test, the college professor noticed that a married student, who was quite pregnant, kept rubbing her side. After class, before she left, the teacher asked her, "Are you okay? I noticed you were holding onto your side."

"Oh, I'm fine," the student answered. "It's just that my baby was pushing his foot up and down my ribs, and it hurt a little."

"Well, that's good," the professor said, feeling relieved.

"Yes," she continued. "It's strange. He normally sleeps during your class, too."

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
