From Jay Styles ('68) of VA -
08/28/10, 1:44 PM - "Happy Birthday":

Carol,
Just wanted to say "Happy
Birthday"! It's been awhile since our last conversation, not to
mention a busy summer. On Good Friday, I had to investigate a fatal
accident involving a friend's mother-in-law and then on the Fourth
of July Holiday, I had another fatal accident; in fact, in less than
a week, we had four such accidents. This has not been a good year
for bad accidents.
I don't like hot weather, so August is not my favorite month, so to avoid it, I had to have eye surgery on my right eye, (glaucoma), so I haven't worked since August 1st and don't go back until first week in September! Not to worry, everything went exceptionally well, they give you a Valium; must have worked, half way through the surgery, my blood pressure dropped to 81/50. He asked if I was OK, told him I was getting warm, they took the blanket off and the bp went back up to near normal. If you know of anyone facing that kind of surgery, tell them not to give it a second thought, no pain at all, except the cabin fever that follows. But as long as the AC holds up, that can be dealt with. There's a game between the Nationals and your beloved Cardinals next month; hope to be there, too bad, no Strasburg! Gotta run, again Happy
39th! Or was is 29th?
Jay Styles, '68
PS: In June, went to a
funeral of a friend, and the pastor was Thomas Keithley, who was in
my class; talk about a small world.
YOWZERONI-WOWZERONI!
Jay Sweetie, you nearly always manage to blow my mind six ways from
Tuesday! Thank you so much - and you take care of yourself!

CBD,
My most sincere thanks!! Wonder
what happened?
I knew you were going to be away
for awhile--doing reunions-- but, after a bit I realized that time
SHOULD have passed and went online to the
site--I was right!!
Ja, but not for THAT
long!
I do hope all is well.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. 4. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. 5. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong. 6. If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a hill, in the fog. 7. The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who got there first. 8. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day, drinking beer. 9. Flashlight: A metal tube used to store dead batteries. 10. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room. 11. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well. 12. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

AS PROMISED:
From
Bill Lee (Warwick HS - '54) of NC
- 08/27/10 - "Lost Memories of Grandview":
| Carol:
The 8/27 entry about Grandview triggered a story from long ago... |
||
 |
When my father brought home a particular Shipyard Bulletin in
1947 (photo was entitled 'old grandview light'), our next-door neighbor,
a lovely elderly lady named Estelle Duncan, happened to see it
and excitedly told us that when she was a girl, her father was the
keeper of the Grandview light.
She also said she and her husband (Marvin Duncan) were married in either her home (which I think may have been the house further inland that has that neat little model of the lighthouse in front of it - at least I hope its still there!) or the lighthouse itself. I don't remember which she said, but lighthouse seems more romantic, even if not logistically logical). Besides, why would a lad of 11 be impressed with the story, unless the lighthouse was involved??? |
|
The Duncans owned a dry cleaners in NN in the 40's, but I don't recall the name...gee, I was just a kid then, and such things were of no interest to me. But I do recall that Mr. Duncan often took our clothes 'to work' with him and brought them back, when dry cleaned. With the memory of her recollection fresh on my mind today, I did a little
Dave Spriggs-like
('64 - of VA) research, and came up with the following:The official name for that lighthouse was the Back River Light, located south of the mouth of the Back River on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, several miles north of Fort Monroe. Plagued by erosion for most of its existence, it was destroyed in 1956 by Hurricane Flossy. This light was constructed in 1829, a conical masonry tower similar to others further up the bay. A hint of its coming travails was given by the need for a 144-foot long footbridge to carry the keeper over the marshy land between the tower and his house. The light was damaged by Confederate raiders in 1862, but was back in action the following year. But the remainder of the century saw a continuing battle against erosion, and riprap was laid around the base of the tower several times between 1868 and 1888. In 1894 a second story was added to the keeper's house, but this served only until 1914, when the house was demolished, with the light being automated the following year. It was discontinued in 1936 and twenty years later the tower collapsed under the force of Hurricane Flossy, leaving only a pile of rubble to mark the spot. |
||
 |
Here's what it looked like while still in service (USCG photo, undated).
I like to imagine that's Marvin and Estelle in the lower left-hand corner of the image (of course, I never dared address them by their first name...nor did I even think of such a thing!). |
|
As best as I can tell, this photo (found on the Internet, undated) depicts what I think is likely to be the site of the light house, many years after its collapse. How to get there is spelled out on the following link: http://www.localhikes.com/Hikes/Grandview_Nature_Preserve_5720.asp Bill Lee |

Jokes - 08/28/10:| Job Candidate Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The engineer replied, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?" The engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?" And the interviewer replied, "Yes, but you started it." |

(06 Nov
1886 – 08 Oct 1941), 1931
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
(instrumental break)
Stars shining up above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Yes, dream a little dream of me
