Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's
RED
Newsletter appears as a
complete and total surprise to me, for to say that I am not a fan of Prince is something
of an understatement. Ah, but little red Corvettes - well, now, that's a
different matter entirely.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j93MTURLI0 - Little Red Corvette - Prince:
"Prince is a songwriter and musician, having released several hundred songs both under his own name and with other artists. He has won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the first year he was eligible in 2004. Rolling Stone ranked Prince #28 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2008."
40 YEARS AGO TODAY:
Wednesday, August 27, 1969 - English Novelist Ivy Compton-Burnett (b. 05 June 1884) died at the age of 85.
Wednesday, August 27, 1969 - German actress and writer Erika Mann (b. 09 Nov 1905) died in Zürich, Switzerland at the age of 63.
HEALTH UPDATE:
From Al Simms
('60) of VA - 08/24/09:
Carol,
You may remove my wife
Lois (Ashworth Simms)
from the prayer list.
She is fully recovered from the surgery, radiation and chemo and has been told that she is cancer free - well, at least we hope so - no way to tell if a cell or two got missed and of course she still has the genetic issue that allowed it to develop in the first place and so we will remain watchful.
Her hair has come back in very thick and so obviously there was no permanent damage to hair follicles BUT - - she used to be a blonde and now is a brunette....... I did accuse her of fooling me for all these years.... It is still very short and about the length of my short hair although hers is WAY thicker on top than my thinning hair is. She is enjoying it real short and may keep it that way at least for awhile - so she says now.
Thanks for all of the prayers from everyone.
Al Simms
NNHS class of 1960
What
wonderful news, Al!
We're delighted to hear this - thank you for sharing it!
Please give Lois our love!

GOLDEN NNHS REUNION:
From Joe Drewry ('58) of VA -
08/24/09 - "A Vision for a Golden NNHS
Reunion":
What about a NNHS Reunion for all who have graduated more than 50 years?
The concept would be to do it like a regular reunion.
Target Date would be the summer of 2011.
All who have reunion years up to and including 1960 would be invited.
Friday night would be a block party at the Newport News Town Center.
Saturday night would be a dinner at the James River Country Club.
Sunday would be a family-style picnic at Newport News City Park.
Let me know if you have any interest.

It sounds fabulous to me,
Joe!
I've sent this in a separate
mailing to to the reunion committee chairmen of some more of the applicable
classes!

UPDATE ON "THE PROBLEM" - 08/27/09:
Some few of you are have been blocked from viewing the site since
07/20/09 out of safety concerns. Most of y'all are not. Our server, 00freehost.com also hosts many, many other sites. Five (down from six) of them are having malware "issues", so to protect the general public from any possible harm, a warning has been placed by some systems. I don't want to think about it today....
Carol,
I had the pleasure of attending a Moody Blues
concert in the early seventies and it was amazing to say the least. At the
closure of this video, Justin Hayward, the Blues leading singer, makes an
appearance, he can still sing. Hope you enjoy this as much as I.
Lets see if this comes through. The song is by Mario Frangoulis and is sung in
Italian, with the closing with Justin Hayward. Enjoy
Jay
Thanks, Jay
Sweetie!
It still didn't come through, but I think I found it anyway!
Is this it?? It's certainly very beautiful, and I
thoroughly enjoyed it!

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL -
08/24/09 - "Welcome":
Hi, Carol:
You mentioned that you have devoted many hours of study
to various religions and it prompted me to write to you and provide a
recommendation to you and your subscribers.
Below is the link to the website, The Friends of Israel.
They publish an outstanding magazine entitled "Israel My Glory" which is a most interesting publication because of the outstanding articles by learned scholars who really know their subject matter.
Their website features news from and about Israel that you will not find on the BBC or any other news broadcast.
They publish books that have long been out of print written by noted scholars that are so helpful in better understanding the full meaning of "The Song of Moses" (Deut. 32) so that we can better understand how God's Chosen People will be restored and redeemed fully in the fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Thanks so much, Adonis!
I visited their fine site, signed up for their newsletter, and am eagerly
awaiting hearing more from them!
From Karrin Williams Frankie (Warwick HS - '61) - 08/24/09 - "George Jones...gotta hear this song ****VERY BEAUTIFUL SO PLEASE READ":
This can bring a tear to your eye even if you didn’t lose anyone in the war.
George Jones...gotta hear this song - 50,000 Names (Carved in the Wall)
A friend sent this to me. I had no idea that the song existed. This is an important piece of music. I think everyone should hear it. The radio stations probably wouldn't play it because it is not politically correct.
Turn on your sound

Thank you so much, Karrin!

LOOK CLOSELY AT MORE THAN ONE TILE
LOOK CLOSELY BY CLICKING ON ANY PART OF THE MURAL. It is called the Cochrane Mural.
For those not living in the west, Cochrane is NW of Calgary and east of Banff, in the foothills of the Rockies. This mural was unveiled (fairly recently) at the Cochrane Ranch House.
EACH tile is 1 foot square and has its own individual picture. Each tile is by a different artist. All of them placed together form this huge mural.
You can click on each of the tiles to see them in detail.
Check out the horse's eye, click on it and you'll see how fantastic this mural really is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We ran this mind-boggling mural some time back, but once again, it's too
good to miss!

Written, composed, and performed by
Prince, 1982
(b. 07 June 1958)
I guess I should have known
by the way you parked your car sideways
That I wouldn't last. See you're the kinda person
That believes in markin' out once
love 'em and leave 'em fast.
I guess I must be dumb 'cos had a pocket full of
horses
Trojan and some of them used
but it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it alright
and you say
What have I got to lose".
And honey I say:
Little red Corvette
baby
you're much too fast.
Little red Corvette
you need a love that's gonna last.
Guess I should have closed my eyes
when you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
'cause I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures of the jockeys
that were there before me.
Believe it or not I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class.
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it alright
And you say,
"Baby
have you get enough gas?" oh yeah.
Little red Corvette
baby
you're much too fast.
Little red Corvette
you need to find a love that's gonna last. - oh
no -
A body like yours ought to be in jail
'Cause it's on the verse of bein' obscene.
Move over
baby
give me the keys.
I'm gonna try to tame your little red love
machine.
Little red corvette
baby
you're much to fast. . .
Little red Corvette
Honey! you gotta slow down.
Little red corvette
'cause if you don't you're gonna run into the
ground.
