Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's White Newsletter pays homage to the "King of Pop," Michael Jackson, who died two months ago today, and is not to be confused with Black AND White, which appeared three days ago:

BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI9OYMRwN1Q&feature=channel_page - Black or White - Michael Jackson
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_or_White":
" 'Black or White' was the first single taken from Michael Jackson's Dangerous album, released in October 1991. The single is considered the biggest selling rock song of the 1990s. "Black or White" is a mix of hard rock, blues, funk, dance and rap. It is also considered one of Michael Jackson's most successful tracks.
Written, composed, and arranged by Jackson with the rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell, it is a song that promotes racial unity..."

"But wait! There's MORE!"
From Doug Nelson ('64) of VA -
08/24/09 - " 'The Problem' ":
Hi Carol,
I also used to get the dreaded maroon "Reported Attack Site!" page when I opened
one of your Newsletters.
Jean Poole Burton ('64 of RI) and the others, that if they do this
nothing terrible will happen. They will be able to resume enjoying your
Newsletters and website.
Thank you so very much, Doug!
"Thass wha' I been tryin' to tell 'em down at th' pool hall!"
My Cousin,
Jim Atkinson
(John Randolph
Tucker HS - '77) of AZ - 08/24/09 - "Cannot Open Your Newsletters...":
Hey Cuzz,
Jim. Honey. I am a firm supporter of FaceBook - for other people. It is a truly marvelous networking site! But I just cannot bring myself to joining it for five good reasons.
First - It was designed for college age kids. It's one
thing to have it trickle down to middle age friends of theirs, but for old
fogies like me to participate in it - well, it jes' ain't right! 
Nathaniel
(Harty - Hillsboro HS,
IL - '97 - of IL)
sent me a delicious bit of evidence the other day clearly demonstrating why this should be so,
but it's too risqué for me to share with my G-rated readers. Let's just
say it strengthened my resolve.....
Second - I'd have to shift my gears. I'm waaay too old for that. See reason #1.
Third - I thought I was extremely open about myself, but having read enough entries on FaceBook to catch a feel for it, I've decided that perhaps I'm much more private and secretive than I thought!
Fourth - Have you never noticed what an addictive personality I have?!? There are games to play and tests to take and people to search and challenges to offer and all manner of enticements there! Were I to stick one little piggy toe into that water, I'd soon be in so far over my head that I'd never be able to leave my computer at all! And I'd have no time to do what I do here (which I think is rather similar, anyway), and I'm committed to continue doing that which I have begun.
Fifth - I've forgotten, but this one is good, too.
So you have fun with it, Sweetie; I must abstain - courteously.
From Evelyn Vretos ('55) of VA - 08/24/09 - "note fr ev":
Hi Carol,
Still having difficulty with your site - my mac keeps giving me warnings "do not
open". I hate it. I'm missing your
newsletters.
Evelyn
From Susan Whitcomb Harlin ('72) of TX - 08/24/09 - "Web Site":
Hi Carol,
I am still having problems getting into the school web site.
Hope you are having a great day!!!
Susan
From My #2 Son,
Brent Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90) of TX -
08/24/09:
Still can't open the site, Mom.
love bh
Brent Harty
From My #1 Daughter-in-Law,
Mary Bennett Harty (Litchfield HS,
IL - '89) of IL -
08/24/09:
That is me, too.
From Marty Whitmore McCoy ('67) of VA -
08/24/09:
Marty McCoy cannot open the site either :-)
Thanks,
Evelyn, Susan, Brent, Mary, and Marty!
I'm working on a alternate plan to tide y'all over during this situation!
From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 08/24/09 - "Web
site.":
Just got back from visiting my daughter in
Colorado. I had a great 3 weeks away. I could access the site from daughter
Kimmy's computer just fine. Now that I am home, I got my computer back from the
Doctor (Friend Wes Thompson) today, but mine won't let me get on. Keep getting a
big red box with the words "Attack Site" in it. I'll call Wes and ask him about
it tomorrow. Just wanted you to know.
Love ya,
Ruthie
Thank you so much, Ruthie!
You illustrated the point Doug is making beautifully!
It's the preferences that YOU yourself have placed upon your computer that makes
the difference! Kimmy's computer had been "ordered" to do
otherwise!
It's
interesting to me to note that of more than 550 subscribers, only 15
have reported any problems - and two of those 15 are
Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of IL) and me;
Nathaniel
has no such warning on his computer right here in the same house!
I cannot tell - or even recommend - you either to change your preferences as Doug did, or to ignore it as Paul and I do. You know more about your safety systems than I do. I have chosen to leave mine as they are for the moment just to see when either 00freehost.com is going to discipline its offending sites, or when Google is going to stop taking such a hard line against those innocent sites such as ours who are simply guilty by association.
From Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA - 08/24/09:
Carol
I don't know if this helps or not, but I've NEVER had a problem opening the newsletters or getting to the site.
Guess I'm just lucky!
Renee
WHOO-HOO!
Thanks
so much, Renee!
From
Me
('65) of IL - 08/24/09 - "
Miss Helmer":
While searching through my files for the Divider Lines to use on the 08/16/09 White as Snow Newsletter, I saw that the 12/01/04 Once Upon a December Newsletter carried the obituary for Miss Mary Helmer / Mrs. Mary Williams, and the promise from me - "I'll try to make her teacher page right away."
Hmmm. Well, if "right away" can be interpreted to mean "sometime within the next five years," then, JA - I took care of that right away.....
Miss Helmer has frequently been mentioned as a "favorite teacher" by those signing our Guest Book. This page is now ready for you to share your memories of her:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/SITE-MAP.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/faculty.html
By the way, Miss
Helmer's senior portrait was scanned from the June 1944 Anchor so
generously donated to me last September by
Betty Savage Palmer (June
1945)
via her daughter (and one of my dearest friends from way back
when),
Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of VA
- along with the Anchors from June 1942, February 1944, and June 1945,
which have proven invaluable to building our archive. Sadly, Betty's
Memorial Newsletter also appears today:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/08-25-09-NNHS-Betty-Savage-Palmer.html
Thanks
again, Betty - and Sandi!

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps,
teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and
other non Muslims!
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow
themselves up in German restaurants.
There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church.
There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to
all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education
and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask "what can they do for humankind" before they demand that
humankind respects them!!
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians
and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's
part, the following two sentences really say it all:
I'm not asking you
to forward this.......on the other hand, IT WOULDN'T HURT IF YOU DID!
P.S.: The Muslims, using their always impeccable logic, would claim these
statistics prove how discriminated against they really are!

Thanks so much, Norris!
This is eye-opening, but certainly not at all surprising!
From Ivan Anker ('67) of VA -
08/24/09 - "Walking on the Sabbath":
Carol,
An observant Jew can walk any distance necessary to get to services on the Sabbath. We have one 80 something gentleman in my congregation that parks his car in the lot of the synagogue Friday before sunset for Friday nite services, then walks 3 miles home. He also walks back for Sabbath services, then home, and then again for Sabbath evening services. He then drives home Saturday nite. He has more strength than this 60 year old.
WOWZERONI! Thanks, Ivan!
Hmmm
- I wonder where I developed that
idea?? It was
certainly long ago and far away.....
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 08/24/09 - "Class Reunions":
Hi, Carol:
It was so nice to read the comments you posted from
Ivan Anker ('67) of VA and
Karen Weinstein Witte ('60) of FL.
You were kind to alert Class Reunion planners of ways to improve their reunions
to include all of their classmates.
Buddy David ('61) of VA
who was the Class President has an open house
reunion for the Class of 1961 and they are the most special gatherings on Friday
evenings. He and
Libby (Blechman David - '61 of VA)
set an example of hospitality in their
home. Reunions during the week become
the thing to do when the class members reach retirement age, which is what we
old Marines of Platoon 276 Parris Island 1957 do now. Travel is less hectic
during the week as well.
Thank you so much, Joe!
I do hope a good solution can be
found for this concern.
If I may, allow me to challenge
Captain Dave (Spriggs - '64 -
of VA)
to find some data on the
Peninsula Dairy and the
Peninsula Dairy Store that operated on Jefferson Avenue between
36th Street and 37th Street in Newport News. It was a large art deco green
building, with horseshoe counters with single stools, where they served ice
cream cones and shakes.
Here is hoping it will jar
a few memories among the TYPHOON Nation of subscribers and result in a page on
Our Old Stomping Grounds.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Thanks again, Adonis!
I may be wrong, but I think the
good captain is so swamped dealing with his own reunion committee plans and
other issues at the moment that he'll need to postpone this request for a couple
of months, but I could be wrong. Meanwhile, I'll try to locate whatever
materials I may have to kick off a new page for this!
From
Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 08/24/09 - "Redneck Technology":
Redneck Technology
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York Scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion, that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: “California archaeologists, finding traces of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.”
One week later, the Roanoke Times, a local newspaper in Roanoke, VA reported the following: “After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Poage's Mill, Bubba Brown, a self-taught archaeologist reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago VA had already gone wireless.”
Just makes you proud to be from Virginia, doesn't it?
WILD GIGGLES! Thanks, Billy - absolutely!

Multiple Choice
The blonde reported for her university final examination that
consists of "yes/no" type questions. She takes her seat in the examination hall,
stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration
takes her purse out, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and marking the
answer sheet "Yes" for Heads and "No" for Tails. Within half an hour she is all
done, whereas the rest of the class is sweating it out During the last few
minutes, she is seen desperately throwing the coin, muttering and sweating. The
moderator, alarmed, approaches her and asks what is going on.
"I finished the exam in half an hour, but I'm rechecking my answers."

Black or White
Written, composed, arranged and performed by
Michael Jackson,
1991
(29 Aug 1958 - 25 June 2009)
I took my
baby
On a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes were one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But, if
You're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
They print my message
In the Saturday sun
I had to tell them
I ain't second to none
And I told about equality
An its true
Either you're wrong
Or you're right
But, if
You're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
So when the
Going gets rough
I ain't scared of
Your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scare of nobody
Girl when the
Goin' gets mean
(l. t. b. rap performance)
Protection
For gangs, clubs
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
Its a turf war
On a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides
Of the tale
See, its not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
I've seen the bright
Get duller
I'm not going to spend
My life being a color
(Michael)
Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But, if
You're thinkin' about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
I said if
You're thinkin' of
Being my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
I said if
You're thinkin' of
Being my brother
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you
To get by
It's black, it's white, whoo
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you
To get by
It's black, it's white, whoo
