each of them. 

From Wayne Stokes ('65) of VA - 08/30/05:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! That's the good news; the bad news: YOU'RE NOW AS OLD AS I AM!!!

   GIGGLES!  Thanks, Wayne Honey!  That's not so bad; it seems to work just fine for you, and as you know -
"I'm still just a kid!"

From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 08/31/05:

Dear Carol,

Even though this is late I want to wish you a Happy Birthday and a happy year...filled with all the good things,
love, joy, and peace, friends and family.  Those are the things that matter.  Thank you again for all that you
have done to bind us together, Typhoons forever...none of my friends can comprehend this network that I
talk about...Many more happy birthdays to come. 

Love, Jean (Poole) Burton '64

   Oh, WOW, Jean!  You made me all "chokey"  Thanks so much!  We do have some something special here, and
if it's not always readily understood, that's sad.  But I'm so glad we have it!

From Jo Ann Stewart ('64) of TX - 08/30/05:

Hi Carol -

Didn't know you were back "on" so I checked - Yea!!.  Haven't gotten a newsletter so you must be using my
work addy which doesn't work very well - too many filters on it.  Be sure and send them to .....  I missed you!!!!

Regards,
Jo Ann Stewart

   Hey, Jo Ann!  I'm glad you found us again!  I switched your email addy accordingly.  You only missed about 15
Newsletters; it shouldn't take you too long - GIGGLES!!!

   Thanks for looking.  I was gone so long I was afraid everyone would have lost interest permanently.

Travel Brochure - Side One	Travel Brochure - Side Two

   OHHHH, David - it's beautiful!!!  Thank you so much!

   I left these images uncompressed so that they might be more easily read, enjoyed, and relived, and I gave
them top billing on the Buckroe Beach page:

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-A-B.html

   What a delightful Grand Finale - not that I have an enormous soft spot in my heart for Buckroe or anything.......................

 Y'all have a good day - and do take care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER!

                          Love to all, Carol

Up on the Roof

Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King

Peaked at # 5 in 1963

Later covered as minor Top 100 singles by The Cryan' Shames in 1968
and by Laura Nyro in 1970:
by James Taylor as a slower-paced Top 30 pop version in 1979.
Also covered as album tracks by co-songwriter Carole King in 1970
[Carole King Writer CD] and by Neil Diamond in 1993 [Neil Diamond Up on the Roof CD].
 

(The Drifters)


When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

brief instrumental-chiefly strings

At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-tellin' you

Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
FADE

Everything is all right (up on the roof)
