"Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. - Douglas Pagels, These Are the Gifts I'd Like to Give to You |

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Be sure to click on that "Happy Labor Day!" link above!
|
"The day for which the toilers in past centuries looked forward, when their rights and their wrongs would be discussed... that the workers of our day may not only lay down their tools of labor for a holiday, but upon which they may touch shoulders in marching phalanx and feel the stronger for it."

1. Peggy Fussell Porter (North Sanpete HS, UT - '81) of NC - 09/03/06:
Peggy's
daughter and my son are both attending
Southern Virginia University.
I laughingly suggested to her that the best way to stay in touch with me (because
y'all know how abysmal I have become at personal emails) would be through
this Newsletter - and she
said she'd love it! So welcome aboard, Peggy!
I'm sure there will be topics which cannot possibly interest you whatsoever, and at times we can become quite goofy indeed, but we're all one big family here, so I added your name to the somewhat mis-named Alumni Page: |

This is my winning fish in
that ... Fishing Tournament I (mentioned earlier). I was competing with
about 20 fishing buddies and I won. The picture is about 20 years old and I
was sporting a moustache. This picture was taken in my Cottage before I
filleted him and put him in my freezer. This was the biggest one of three
others we caught that evening. More Later, Your Friend, Herbie |

WOWZERONI-ROONI, Herbie! That is some fish! Thanks
for sending this! And, uh, I loved your trophy!

Hi Carol,
This is a great way for all to recognize and remember
September 11; and at the same time show our support for our troops at home
and overseas.
My nephew's son, a 2005 graduate of the
U.S. Military Academy
at West Point, is proudly serving our Country in Iraq. He and all the
troops need and deserve our support.
Thanks for considering this to be posted in your
newsletters.
By the way, a NNHS delegation walking together would be neat..
And, great appreciation to you for all that you do for
us....Bobby
Thanks so much, Bobby!!! I
seem to be too computer illiterate to figure out how to convert this
attachment into a form I can use, so I just copied the information from it
for now, until a later time. I missed some of the graphics this way,
but I caught all of the pertinent information. |

Well, hello to all of my family in Newport News.
In Florida we got hit
with a lot of rain and wind, but otherwise it was not bad for us seasoned
hurricane fanatics. I am so sorry that it went to you all when it left us.
I hope all my NNHS family is doing good, and you all get power back soon.
I talked to my mom, YOWZERONI!!! I just wanted to say again how much I enjoy this page and thank you all for letting me be the youngest typhoon. Please e mail me if you are headed to the Tampa Bay area. I would love a visit. And keep us in mind when you see other storms headed our way. God bless and have a great holiday weekend.
Your youngest Typhoon,

From Jamey Douglas Bacon ('66) of VA - 09/02/06:
 Happy birthday girl, what are you 39, like, I am? Hope it was a good one. You deserve it. Jamey
No, ma'am, I'll take
credit for all 59 of my years. I just wish I didn't have to take
possession of the crummy knees that seem to be accompanying them! I
certainly hope they don't interfere with my dancing at the end of the month!
WAIT A MINUTE!!! I don't see your name anywhere on that list, Jamey! http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2006-attending.html Okay. There are three events.
I've been waiting like forever to see you again. I persuaded
(Y'all know it's only because today is a holiday that I've not begun my all-out, full-scale nagging of you to attend, doncha?!?)
Thanks for the birthday wishes, Jamey!
It was super!

Dear Carol,
Watching the weather
report on the TV Evening News, Your area is catching VERY LARGE weather. I
hope you and your Family are safe and dry !!! The weather around the S.E.
Michigan (Utica Michigan) area has been nice. We could use some of that
rain here. My Black-Eyed Susans are suffering and they seem to be drying
up a little early this year. >>>>> After reading your Newsletter of August
30th I would like to say to
"Wake Up, Dear Carol" I see you falling asleep with another one of my short stories. I am only having a little fun with Linda May, I hope she will see this in a humorous sorta way. That's all for now, Your Friend, Herbie OH, no sir, Herbie Darlin'! You just referenced that schtick from the Ace Trucking Company! I thought they were positively the goofiest, funniest act I'd ever seen! I hadn't thought of them for years! You just made my day with that memory! And we're fine here, just
fine, fine - but thanks!

From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 09/02/06:

Hi Carol -- sorry to sound so
"mysterious" about my dad, when I said I wanted to "update"
John Murden ('60 - of VA) about him! I sent that email off to you in a
hurry the other day, as I was leaving on other business, and notifying
John just came to mind on the spur of the moment. John and Dad have
always been close, and kept in touch.
Here's the mysterious update for John,
and now for all of you'uns (NC hillbilly speech, meaning: y'all): we
moved Dad in with us on July 4 (any hidden meaning there?? :-)). He was
really getting bored and depressed living in the retirement community he
was in, even though it's one of the best we've encountered.
We had wanted him with us since he moved
here to the mountains in 2002, but things just recently worked out that
allowed it to finally happen. I've always believed that children have a
duty to care for their parents, if circumstances and personalities
allow.
It's been a real blessing to us, and
hopefully to him (at least I haven't driven him nutso yet!!). I
thank God every day for each day He's allowed us to have with Dad. At 93
years, he has a lot of knowledge and wisdom to impart. Matter of fact,
I'm gradually taping some video interviews with him for a family
history. Fascinating stuff! (And to think, about age 16 or so, I thought
he was about the dumbest man in the world!!)
That's wonderful, Ron! What a priceless treasure for your family!
You haven't heard much out of me the last
few months, because I was basically working "dawn to dusk" getting a
couple of rooms remodeled so we could move Dad in. Now I may just have
to start pestering the heck out of you again, you sweet youngster --
happy birthday!
WILD GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Ronnie - I'll look forward to it!
So now you know "... the rest
of the story..." (said as only Paul Harvey can say it).

| Carol Glad to hear you and yours are safe. We just got our power back at 9PM on Saturday. We also had no phone/cable/internet. We have been running on a generator since Friday AM. It runs on Propane which cost about $75 a day to run. It's a big one.
YOWZERONI!!!
Thanks so much, Dicky!

Speaking of 
Dale (Harty - American School, IL - '02 - of

and my own computer ineptitude, I had my
darling daughter
Adrienne take the pictures off the camera for me the other day.
Yeah, I know, I need to learn how to do that myself, but I keep misplacing
my handy-dandy directions, and I'm always afraid I'll somehow manage to
permanently delete them in the process. |

The Joy of Labor In the U.S., this is our "Labor Day" holiday, a time when we generally do our best to avoid anything that looks like work. Many will go camping, spend the day at the beach, or perhaps at a family picnic. Unfortunately, very few will pause to be thankful for the work they do. Only a handful will take time to honor and acknowledge the joy of work, and I find that very sad. Most of us believe "work" is something to be avoided, and we wish for a path to instant wealth, because "then I'd never work again." I suspect that's one reason the universe makes sure most of us never acquire that kind of instant wealth! I see work as a great honor and source of fulfillment, although I admit there is both "good" work and "bad" work. "Bad" work is something for which we are not suited, or which we do for the wrong motives. For me, "bad" work would be trying to earn a living as a musician. My brother plays cello for the Jacksonville symphony, and for him, music is the work of the angels. He was blessed with great talent and he loves it. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, and the lessons when I was a kid were a lot of "work" for me, my parents, and my long-suffering piano teacher. Doing work for which we are ill-suited, it seems to me, is so stressful that it borders on the immoral. Life is meant to be lived, to be joyful, and to be productive. Doing "work" we hate gives honorable work a bad name. As I see it, work is our chance to partner with God in the creation of a better, richer, more exciting world. Work is our opportunity to build, to create, to leave our footprints in the sands of time. Work is our chance to say, "I was here, and I made a difference." Over the years, through my various jobs and hobbies, I've met wonderful people who reflected their life's meaning and purpose in their work. Some were artists in how they drove a delivery truck, others found joy in Police work, writing, doing therapy, or in construction. One of my golfing partners loves teaching high school biology, and it shows in his attitude and in his student's grades. Vicki is a server at my favorite coffee shop. She has 3 kids, her husband is a chef, and for whatever reason, helping a couple hundred people start their day with hot coffee, a good breakfast and a smile is her calling in life. She's a treasure, and is loved by hundreds of loyal customers. One of the wisest things anyone ever said to me is, "Find something you truly love to do, and you'll never work another day the rest of your life." Now, while I disagree with that disparaging definition of the word "work," the point is essential. In our technological age, we have the greatest freedom in history to find work that is "perfect" for us. Work is a very personal thing. It's about combining your time and effort with your talents, skills and the situation around you to make things better. It's about making a difference. It's about making your contribution, and being productive. This Labor Day, give thanks for the work you do, and the difference it makes. Celebrate your contribution to your community, and our world. And, if you are not doing the "perfect" job for you, pledge that by next year, you WILL be doing the right work. Life is too short to spend it doing work for which you are not suited or passionate! You owe that to yourself and to the world. We need your best stuff, your best effort, your passion and your unique genius. We need Vicki's smile at breakfast.
By this definition, I certainly love the "work" that I do!

Dear Carol,
Hope you and your Family made it through the Storm and that you didn't get too wet. Up here in Michigan we hardly got any rain and not too much wind. The TV evening news pictured Carolina getting VERY LARGE WEATHER. Alls well that ends well, Your Friend, Herbie No problem, Sweetie! It's very soggy here, but the rain seems at last to have ended. It was still horrendously foggy this morning at 8:00 AM, though. Glad I didn't have to go anywhere at the peak of dawn! Thanks,
Herbie Darlin'!

From Buzzy Blanchard of LA (Kecoughtan HS - '68) - 09/04/06 - "Southerness":
|
Only a Southerner
knows the difference between a
hissie fit and a
conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH"
them.
_____ Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess." _____ Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder." _____ Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is, ... as in: "Going to town, be back directly." _____ Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table. _____ All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well. _____ Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'! _____ Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20. _____ No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn. _____ A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
_____
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, ... and when we're "in line," ... we talk to everybody! _____ Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage. _____ In the South, y'all is singular, . all y'all is plural.
_____
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them. _____ Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food. _____ When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner! _____ Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk. _____ And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,"Bless her heart" ... and go your own way. _____ To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart! _____ And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff, bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language! _____ And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'all's front porch that reads, "I ain't from the South, but I got here as fast as I could." ____ Bless your hearts, y'all have a blessed day. Oh, AMEN to
all of that! Thanks, Buzzy! Bless your heart!

Coming to America
Written by Neil Diamond
Far
We’ve been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes
They’re coming to America
Never looking back again
They’re coming to America
Home, don’t it seem so far away
Oh, we’re traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and we’ll say grace
Freedom’s light burning warm
Freedom’s light burning warm
Everywhere around the world
They’re coming to America
Every time that flag’s unfurled
They’re coming to America
Got a dream to take them there
They’re coming to America
Got a dream they’ve come to share
They’re coming to America
They’re coming to America
They’re coming to America
They’re coming to America
They’re coming to America
Today, today, today, today, today
My country ’tis of thee
(today)
Sweet land of liberty
(today)
Of thee I sing
(today)
Of thee I sing
(today)
