I chose today's song simply because it's one of my favorites! As is common with most (if not all) of Andrew Lloyd
Webber's music, it's a bit tricky to sing and requires an excellent range, but shouldn't we always be challenged
to exceed our normal limitations?

I'm going back and recreating Memorial Pages that we missed over the last three months. I began with Jay Bluxome
of the Class of 1964:

Somehow, as I told Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA, this seems to be even more difficult than creating them at the time.....

This information has also been added to the Memorial page for the Class of 1964:

OHHH, Brenda! She's so precious, she scarcely looks real! I'll take your word for it that she is - how adorable!!!
Thanks so much! What happy pictures!

DO please come to the reunion! There's going to be such fun stuff there, even if you only know one or two people
in the room, you'll enjoy yourself! A Typhoon is a Typhoon!

THANKS FOR THE MENTION. IF YOU SEE A PICTURE THAT WOULD FIT A STORY, I CAN FORWARD IT TO YOU...I AM NOT SURE THEY CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE SITE, BUT IF YOU CAN, GO FOR IT! Jerry

AHHHH!!! I told you I'd have no trouble knowing where to start! I began with one of my Favorite Places
in the World - the Mariners' Museum and its magnificent lion statues! (You'll notice I had no trouble pilfering
the images, either! GIGGLES!!!)

I don't guarantee that you'll get anything else done today, but - hey! GIGGLES!

Okay, I'll be honest. I created a folder, and resized, compressed, and saved the images, but I haven't made
them their own page as yet.

I'll get right on it, but I did run out of time......

From Joe Drewry ('58) of VA - 08/28/05 - "Please identify picture subjects - Boys Club":

Mickey says that the man on the right beside Herbie Morewitz is W. F. "Bill" Files. He was an
executive of the Shipyard and on the board of directors of the Boys Club back in the 60s and 70s.
He was a very nice man who did a lot for the Boys Club. We now have 11 Boys and Girls Clubs:
1 in Mathews, 1 in Gloucester, 1 in Hampton, and 8 in Newport News. This coming month will be
one year since we took over the Boys & Girls Club on Hampton Avenue in NN, which was the black
Boys Club in NN when we were coming along. This is the one where Mike Vick and Allen Iverson
and Aaron Brooks came from. One of our Boys and Girls Club members was recently inducted
(into the) Football Hall of Fame. He went to TN All American and then went to Miami and wrestled
and played football at Warwick, who was Frank Immanuel. Add Henry Jordan and Norman Snead
to that list also.

Thanks Joe, Joe, Mickey, and Carol! It took me a few days, but I've amended the page accordingly:

While we're there, why don't we identify the people in the next image as well??

I think Oregon here must have the most beautiful weather of all the USA..

.....my regards to any of you living near this monster storm near the gulf...

It was enjoyable seeing Paul Dobie's name ('66 - of CO) in Afghanistan now, on the web site again....know he loves reading this
site in Afghanistan and is happy that Carol got the thing up and running again.... yeah, Carol! ..this is the Paul Dobie who goes
so far back into the military that as he was returning home from Vietnam - he passed by my brother Steve Kiger ('66) in the Norfolk
airport, who was just leaving to go to Vietnam....... (I have that story right, don't I?).. All I remember is saying bye in 8th (1968 or '69)
to Steve at the Norfolk airport and hello again in 9th ('69 or '70) - what a short time Steve had in Cam Rhan Bay ..... lucky him - he
goofed up his ankle - playing BASKETBALL (of course)

during his basic training-so he got to do basic training twice - which
shortened his Nam tour.... And what awesome pictures he had of the beaches there. He was one of the lucky ones. Well,
congratulations, Paul Dobie, on your being there and enjoying it and helping - it is uplifting to hear some positive news from that
region. Stay safe.

And in response to Joe Drewry ('58)'s comment - I haven't gotten my e mails either, like I used to when new newsletters are posted,
BUT a trick is to go to the NNHS web page, and make that a desktop icon of it by marking that page, after you have it opened up,
by right clicking on the mouse - then click 'create shortcut' - then click 'yes' - you want an icon for that page. It's that simple. An icon
will be on your desktop, along with the other icons - you just name it.

I have an icon at work (Weyerhaeuser) and an icon on my
desktop computer at home that says NNHS web. Then anytime I want to peek at newsletter and see if a new update - it just takes
a click to reach the site instantly. I have an icon set up like this for the Daily Press too. It really blows my brother and friend's minds
when I tell them something they haven't read yet, and they live there and I am thousands of miles away... but it is so easy to set up
and when/if I have a a slow minute at work - I can look at my screen and view Fox News/CNN/ or whatever this way... Well, if I am
going to get to work tomorrow on time - I'd better sign off.

Oh, and Dale Parsons, Sr. ('48), I sent my Uncle Paul (Wagner) ('47 or '48) all the NNHS site material/samples of newsletters....
from another printer.. in a huge manila envelope....I don't even know what he thought...the site blew up in May right after I mailed that
to him....You recall Paul - such a handsome fellow! Looked like a movie star - I think Paul was a NNHS football player...so yeah, he
knew NNHS former coach Cowboy Range - my former school board boss with George 'Dick' Tyson at the school board, while I
was a clerical student in the VOT program at FHS...I always thought Paul was the most handsome of all our uncles on Mom's side.......
I knew you knew his late wife, Shirley Hogge, as you has e-mailed me that...she used to look like Shirley Temple Black.....my
cousin was going to show Paul how to view this site from a computer - a group of NNHS buddies still meet at McDonalds or some
pancake house regularly - one guy who meets with Paul is the Kersey fellow........

Oh, well - there's hope - if we can get Paul computer literate - then Steve, I know I can teach you

tee hee....and then you could
view this site instead of your friends telling you stuff I said ....yikes.

It is truly sad to hear about Norman Dehart. He and I taught art together at both Denbigh and Dozier. He
was one of the really genuine people I've ever worked with.

What is making me frantic is that Mr. Dehart's partner, David, sent me the obituary plus other images just as
my systems crashed. I'm afraid they may have been permanently lost, and I do not know how to contact him.
ARGHHH!

If y'all are wondering why I almost never answer you directly, except in the Newsletters themselves, I'll "'fess up".
That was one of the things which gave rise to the Newsletter concept in the first place (that, and Frances Goodson
Wang - '65 - of MD, who began some round - robin emails a few years back!). It's an enormous time-saver for me
to be able to write 350 plus of you at once.

I know it seems rude of me, but it gives me more time to spend on the site itself. Plus .... well, I'm just rude...........

Memory

- From the Broadway Musical, "Cats"

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber;
Lyrics by Trevor Nunn, based on poems by T. S. Eliot

Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone.
In the lamplight
the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.

Memory. All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days,
I was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was,
Let the memory live again.

Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
and soon it will be morning.

Daylight. I must wait for the sunrise,
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin.

Burnt out ends of smokey days,
the stale cold smell of morning.
The street lamp dies,
another night is over, another day is dawning.

Touch me. It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun.
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is.
Look, a new day has begun.
