Al, I love your pictograms so much! They're always such fun, but this one, of course, completely floored me! And despite all y'all had told me, neither I nor my family ever really dreamed that I had so very many wonderful friends! Thank you so very much - for everything! ![]() |

From Janice McCain Rose ('65) of VA - 08/19/06 - "Blake's Aetna Commercial":
Carol....
I totally forgot to mention how Blake and his group of friends got this commercial gig "drag race" with Aetna. This group entered the DC area 48 hour film contest back in May---where you have 48 hours to write, make, produce, edit, etc., a short film......well, Blake and his friends WON the event....and are now in national competition....these film contests are held each year in major US cities...and once all the competitions have been held, the winners will vie for the NATIONAL award.....anyway, someone who saw their movie thought they did such a great job, they were asked to do an Aetna spot.....and now another company who has seen the Aetna spot, wants them to do another commercial. They have GREAT fun doing this.....most of them attended GMU together....and all have talents of some kind.....Blake and another member of this group were in a band....made a cd....and played all over the DC, MD, and PA....but now since they are all married, some with children....they don't have the hours it takes to play in a band all the time. Enjoy the movie.....since it's about a Mormon missionary.....and let me know what you think. WOWZERONI!!! Well, the film, of course, is funny, entertaining and beautifully made - obviously, or it would not have won awards! Mormons or Latter-day Saints (as we
prefer to be called), unless they were adapt at suspending reality, might
find it disturbing for several reasons. "Andy" would never be
addressed by his first name during those two years, but always as "Elder
Smith" (or whatever). |
I know of few if any areas where Elder Smith would be traveling around to
areas of his own choosing these days. I think those have been assigned
for the last hundred years or so (give or take a decade or two). He would always wear his nametag, identifying himself as a representative of the Church. |

Okay, ![]() Being dishonest with his leaders about his skills (or lack thereof) in bike riding (or anything else), being without his missionary companion, and being alone with a member of the opposite sex, would all be grounds for his being sent home, and earning himself a dishonorable release from his mission But clearly the film was
a comedy, so these are "details". I was impressed by his refusal of
the coffee (which we don't drink), his reference to baptism as the woman
sprayed him with her garden hose (and like Baptists, Latter-day Saints
baptize by immersion, not sprinkling). And I absolutely loved his
"favorite scripture" he was trying to share - Alma 24:32 - because the Book
of Alma only has 30 verses!
Alma 24:30 is a favorite of mine, actually: 30 And thus we can plainly discern, that after a people have been once aenlightened by the bSpirit of God, and have had great cknowledge of things pertaining to righteousness, and then have dfallen away into sin and transgression, they become more ehardened, and thus their state becomes fworse than though they had never known these things. So all that said, Dale and I both thought the film was hysterically funny, with many interesting layers, such as Gracie's fear of going more than a thousand steps from home, but ultimately finding growth.. Thanks for sharing it
with us all, Janice!

Speaking
of

on "the sacred soil of Virginia" for a few hours!

Famous Marines -

during WWII - 08/19/06
- "Dear Carol, Here are words that I live by: House cleaning philosophy":
Dear
Carol,
Even though I have a
house cleaner that comes in twice a month, I asked her not to worry about
Spider Webs if the spiders don't get too big. She doesn't use wax on the
floors, and on the furniture she uses Pledge. Thanks,
Herbie, you Sweetie-Pie!

From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 08/19/06 - "Another
fantastic newsletter...":
You have outdone yourself lady! I can close my eyes
and walk into Nachman's just like it
was still there...Men's department on the right, women's millinery on the
left, cosmetics, tea room in the back. And those plastic bra models with
the bras on them! What teenager ever thought she would have anything like
that to put into a bra!!!
Those brownies must have been my inspiration because
I have been told I make a mean brownie!
The founders of Nachman's would indeed be
disappointed in today's clothing stores where you are likely to be waited
on by teenagers who have no idea about the product they are selling...or
worse even...you walk all over the dept. store and cannot find a clerk or
a customer service station that is open! You may as well avoid the hassle
and shop online...I have to say that Kanter's in Hampton was one of my
favorite stores as well...the ladies who worked there would always point
out that they had new things in the store and would even tell you what
they had that would look especially nice on you. I feel that customer
service is a thing of the past...I wish the banks, phone companies, and
other business would spend less on advertising and more on hiring human
beings (in this country) to answer their phones and conduct
business...well so much for my rant!
I'm glad you like it,
Jean!

From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 08/19/06 - "Nachman's":
I
rarely shopped at Nachman's.......a little too expensive for my
pocketbook. My favorite store and where I got my very first charge card
was Leggett's. Although Washington Avenue was
a little drive from my house in Hampton, those were the glory shopping
days!! In and out of Leggett's,
Woolworth's,
Hofheimer's, Butler's,
Montgomery Ward, et al.
When they opened a Leggett's in
downtown Hampton,
I was thrilled since I lived so close. However, it just wasn't the same
as downtown Washington
Avenue. :(
AHHH,
the Olden Days!!!! WILD GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Gloria!

From Nat Woolard Cunningham (Hampton HS - '60) of FL - 08/19/06 - "Nachman's":
I mostly
shopped at
Leggett's,
but I think I made a few purchases at Nachman's. I certainly remember and
was fascinated by the tubes for sending payments upstairs to the office. I
don't remember eating there. I am not sure,
but I might have bought my wedding gown at Nachman's
(in 1962). I remember being at a store having a bridal show,
and the gown was being modeled. I really liked the gown and the price. I
cannot imagine any other store being large enough to have a show, except
Leggett's, which probably did not do
that type of thing.
Thanks, Nat! It's good to
hear from you!

From Kathy Mooney Abrams (Hampton HS - '64) of NY - 08/19/06 - "Neat article
on Nachman's":
My mom had a credit card at Nachman's and
I used to love when she would get her monthly bills, and
there would be perfumed sample cards in
the bills. I remember specifically
dragging mom to Nachman's one Friday
night. I wanted to get a new pocketbook, and
I ended up buying a brownish all leather
bucket bag -- I loved it. I loved
Nachman's and
La Vogue
(when I got older). I never liked
Leggett's,
but sometimes had to shop there. I
might not have had a ton of clothes in high school,
but I had some nice things, and I knew
how to sew skirts. http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-stomping.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-H-M.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/leggetts.html |
From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 08/19/06:
Carol -- a word of caution: calling *77 may
not work in some states. Some use *55, some use *HP, and some just
use 911. Everyone should check with their local police department, who
can fill them in on what to use when traveling within their state.
If you're traveling to other states -- pay
attention at the border. Most states have an info sign posted about
contacting the Highway Patrol.
If you don't know, call 911. You may get
connected with a "local" emergency response center, but they can help you
anyway, since you should be physically close to them. There's a good
chance they could respond more quickly than the Highway Patrol.
AHA!!! Well, if it differs from state to state that way, it explains why some of us may not have heard of this number. Bottom Line: Be aware! Thanks, Ronnie!

Under the Sea
- Words and
Music by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken
From the Disney movie Little Mermaid (19)
(Ariel, listen
to me. The human world, it's a mess.
Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there.)
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
Under the sea, under the sea
Darling it's better down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we're devoting full time to floating
Under the sea, ha ha...
Down here all the fish is happy
As after the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in the bowl!
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who goin' be on the plate?
Wo-no, under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us, fry us and eat us
In frickazee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We've got no troubles, life is the bubbles
Under the sea (under the sea)
Under the sea (under the sea)
Since life is sweet here, we got the beat here
Naturally (naturally-ee-ee-ee)
Even the sturgeon and the ray
They get the urge and start to play
We've got the spirit, you've got to hear it
Under the sea
The lute play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass and they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul (yeah)
The ray, he can play the lings on the strings
The trout acting out
The blackfish he sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
And oh, that blowfish blow!
Yeah, under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine begin the beguine
It's music to me (music is to me)
What do they got, a lot of sand?
We've got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here cutting a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter under the water
Yeah, we in luck here down under the muck here
Under the sea
