"Hope you have a wonderful Birthday... ":
and receive many wonderful blessings...we love you lots!
Jeanb
p.s. Wish we could go out and giggle.....
GIGGLE? US?!?
GIGGLE?!? WILDEST GIGGLES!!!
Wouldn't that be a hoot?!?
Thanks, Jean! Love you, too!
From Jay Styles ('68) of VA - 08/29/07 - "Celebration":
Have I ever
parachuted?!?
Jay, Honey, I have a freaky enough time as it is just walking down a flight of
stairs! I am THE biggest wuss you ever met! And I thought you were
always exhorting us to keep America's highways safe. I'm just doing my part!
But I do
get out of the house occasionally, when I'm sufficiently pushed and prodded.
In fact, I've been out of the house SO much lately, I'm having a very
difficult time putting in the necessary hours to finish these
Newsletters on time. Somehow I
can't be in two places at the same time. But I am having fun!
Thanks, Sweetie!
From Linda Lane Lane ('64) of VA - 08/29/07 - "Happy Birthday":
I hope you have a wonderful birthday. I just love it when you catch up to me.
As always, the newsletters are wonderful and it is good to hear from
other band members like
Norm Covert ('61 - of MD). He lived on 52nd Street, if memory serves
me. His sister
Rachel graduated with my class in '64.
Another person from the North End is
in need of our prayers. Some of you may remember
Harvey Estes. He went to
Stonewall Jackson and NNHS. I think
he graduated from Ferguson in '65. Harvey has cancer and is not doing
well. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. His sister,
Helen (Estes Thomas) graduated in 1960. She died some years ago
(12 Feb 1997) from cancer. Harvey lives in the D.C./MD. area and his
parents still reside in NN.
Also, praises to another super sweet Cousin
Al Dorner ('66 - of VA. Thursday, the Daily Press published a
color photo he took of the Deer Run Golf Course. He is so talented.
Thanks,
Linda-Linda!
I'm so very sorry to learn of Harvey's condition! We'll certainly keep
him in our thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for all
the news! Give my love to Peaches, and have fun in Florida with your
family!

In case you are interested, my photo of Lake Maury that I shot last year at the height of the leaves changing color is in the Daily Press today on page D6 just above the comics.
WOWZERONI!!! Thanks for
letting us know, F.A. - and congratulations!
From
Rochelle Spooner
('63) of NY - 08/29/07:
Dear Carol,
I lived across the street from Ms. (Rose) Binder
on Roanoke Avenue, and across 16th lived
Billy Bryant ('62). Down 16th lived
Steve Sparkman ('63). They were both my good
buddies. I think of them often.
I was born in Stuart Gardens 836, the only house with 4 trees in the front yard....My house was on the corner when I went NNHS. I think it was 1225 Roanoke, Corner of 16th.
Memories!
Rochelle Spooner
Thanks, Rochelle!
Wasn't that a great place to spend your youth and
childhood?!?

From one
of my Famous
Marines,
Herb Hice
of MI,
who served in the Pacific Theater during WWII
- 08/29/07 - "Dear Carol, Just a friendly reminder of men rules":
Looking at the Mens' perspective of "The Rules", all done in a friendly sorta way.
Your Friend, Herbie
The Man Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all downFinally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules"
From the female side.Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE!1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports - It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or golf.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
WILD GIGGLES!!! Herbie Darlin', you may be surprised to learn that due to some strange hormonal imbalance of mine, I completely agree with almost all of this! Except that asking of directions thing. And the shoes. I don't have nearly enough shoes.
Thanks, Sweetie!
From Dave Arnold ('65) of VA -
08/29/07 - "
Jennie Sheppard ('62 - of NC)":
I noticed that Jennie Sheppard is in Williamston, NC. My brother lived there for many years and I would like to compare notes with her. Could you provide her address, or failing that would you forward an e-mail? Thanks, Carol.
Captain Dave Arnold
Dave, I certainly hope you two have long since made contact.....
Thanks!
I love to see and hear of people reconnecting and interacting one with another!
From Christine Wilson Starkman ('68) of CA - 08/29/07 - "1936 Beacon":
Hi Carol,
I just acquired a February 1936 Beacon on eBay. Do you have a copy?
If not, I'll be happy to scan and send it to you and anyone else
interested. There are some great pictures! The faculty photos include
Coach Conn,
Miss Crane, Miss Gildersleeve, and
many that others will recognize.
By the way, there was one other bidder on this item. If it's one of your
subscribers, I'll be happy to send a scan.
The owner's name was Janice Robinson, but I can't find her listed in the
yearbook.
Typhoons Forever,
Chris
|
WOWZERONI!!! Congratulations on your new treasure!
No, ma'am, I do not have a copy, and yes, ma'am, I would be delighted to have
such a scan! Thank you so much, Chris!
And I wonder who that other bidder might have been.
"Anyone? Anyone?"
From Al
Farber ('64) of GA - 08/29/07 - "my pic":
Sorry,
I can't find Baby pic...Here is my today pic that you can use...
Always,
Al
OHHH, thanks so much, Al!

From Bill Bost ('61) of NC - 08/30/07 - "Class of 1961":
I am Bill Bost. I graduated in 1961 from
NNHS. I received your e-mail from my sister,
Karen Bost Jessup ('67 - of FL).
David Bost ('62 - of FL), my brother,
said he found my name listed as "passed". I have had no contact from school
since 1970-71, for the class reunion. I lived in Seattle, WA for some 35
years and have totally lost contact with my classmates. If you know of
someone who is working with this, I would appreciate a name or address.
Thanks, I know you have done a lot of work for your class and am sure it is
greatly appreciated.
Hi, Bill!
I'm delighted to hear that reports of your death have been greatly exaggerated,
but horrified to see that we had you so listed. I can't recall who supplied me
your name for that page, but I just gleefully removed it:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost
I hereby retract and publicly apologize (for all the good that does) for this
egregious error. I'm sorry to say that you're not the first, but sincerely hope
you'll be the last.
The gal you'll want to contact for your class info is
Jane Monfalcone Simmons of FL:
janesi@simmonstek.com.
She can keep you posted on reunions and so forth for the class of 1961.
(I'm reasonably certain that Jane was NOT the person who mistakenly supplied me
your name.)
Meanwhile, I hope you'll find these pages of interest:

From Sepi Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC - 08/30/07 - "Happy Birthday":
Carol....
Today you enter the joys of Middle Age, and once again I wish you a very HAPPY,
HAPPY, BIRTHDAY !!!!!
Yesterday was so much fun, I will never forget it ! I think we should make it an Annual Thing. Like: "What did you do for your Birthday?"
"Oh! I went to Raleigh with my sister
Eleanor (Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of NC) and we met Sepi, as usual,
and we ate and laughed, and we always remember the first time we went and I got
stung by this Killer Bee in the Ladies Room. And then we...." and so on. WHAT
FUN !
Maybe every other year I can find my way to Fayetteville, and we can celebrate there. My darling husband bought me a GPS and the first time I used it, I got IT confused ! That is the honest truth. It kept saying something about "repositioning," and I thought "technology ! humph !" I stopped a cop and he gave me a 'personal escort' to where I was going! I'm sure this nice man took one look at my blonde hair. the GPS on the dashboard, and made an instant decision that escorting me would be the safest thing to do for everyone's safety and my sanity.
May you enjoy your Birthday to the fullest. I'll
never forget the look on your face when I handed you your present, all the color
drained from your face, and probably for the first time in your life, you, my
friend, were speechless !!!! I loved it. And Carol, never but never tell
anyone where you were stung....leave it to their imagination, that way every one
will be forced to amuse themselves with their own thoughts. We will be the only
ones to REALLY know the truth !
I find it very unusual that you, Eleanor and I have the same sense of humor,
don't you?
Love ya'...."Dimples" a.k.a. Sepi
I think your annual celebration is a
most excellent idea, Sepi!
I had a truly fabulous time -
thanks again!!!
The Killer Bee story grew even more bizarre today. About 23 hours after the original sting, the pain returned. Within five minutes, the stinger emerged (and the pain stopped!!! It was about 3/8" long, too! I kept it as a souvenir. I'd still like to know what kind of bee that really was. I've never seen anything like it, but it was such a beautiful shade of chocolate walnut brown, very homogenized with almost no shadings, highlights or variegations.
Are you saying
that our collective senses of humor are somewhat off the wall, Lady?!?
Hmmm, I wonder if we could persuade
Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI
and
David Whitley ('67) of VA
into meeting us all at
Evelyn
Fryer Fish's (Pot Luck) Birthday Party for All of Us
on 09/29/07?!?
Now,
THAT
would "BEE" a hoot!

Raleigh yesterday to have lunch with the legendary
Sepi
"Dimples" Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC. Okay, I still haven't
submitted the photos we took then to Sepi for her approval, but here are some

You can dance, you can jive,
having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

"Dancing Queen" lyrics courtesy of http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/abba/dancing+queen_20002554.html – 06/19/07
*"Dancing Queen" is the biggest hit single recorded by
Swedish pop group ABBA, and as such is considered to be their signature song.
The song was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson,
recorded in 1975 for the group's album Arrival, and released as a single in
1976.
"Dancing Queen" features a shared lead vocal performance by Agnetha Fältskog and
Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Its opening keyboard glissando and hummed vocals are one of
the most identifiable sections of 1970s pop music.
