Happy Labor Day!

"Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold.
But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure
that your most important decision in the day simply consists
of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow."

- 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."

- Samuel Gompers (26 Jan 1850 - 13 Dec 1924)
 

 



NEWBIES:

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:

/06 - "Dear Carol, Copy of 40 lb. King Salmon":

Dear Carol,  
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!    WILD GIGGLES!!!  



  From Bobby Hilling ('62) of VA - 09/02/06:

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

From Jennifer Lane Devorss (Ferguson HS - '89) of FL - 09/02/06:

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,    Linda (Lane) Lane ('64 - of VA) and they have been out of power for 2 days. I hope it isn't much longer and things will be back to normal.

   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,
Jennifer Lane Devorss FHS class of 89

   Thanks, Jennifer!  It's such fun having you with us!   Have a good 'un!

Thanks so much for the updates to the Reunion pages.

   Thanks so much, Lady!  I must say it was fabulous, thanks in large part to all of y'all!

 



  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
   Well, Honey
, if I'm only 39, I'm certainly not very well preserved!

 

   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   Linda Lane Lane ('64 - of VA) to be there, and I know you'll want to be there with your twin!  Surely with three events planned, you'll be able to attend one, if not all three, right?!?

   (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   Linda May (Bond Crayton - '66 - of VA), You Duzzent Hass to call me MISTER Herbie >>>>>, You can call me Herbie, Or you can call me Herbert, Or you can call me Herb but , You Duzzent Hass to call me MISTER Herbie. After I was Honorably Discharged from The Marine Corps in 1945, I have been a Humble Carpenter all my life. I come from a long line of Humble Carpenters all the way back to St. Joseph. He was my Great, Great, Great, Etc, Etc, Uncle Joseph with his wife, Aunt Mary >>>>>. Now that I have established how Humble I am, I would like to request  Linda May to lower her Vocabulary to a level that a Humble Carpenter can understand it.

"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). 

-- Ron

 



  From Dicky Dawes (NNHS/HHS - '62) of VA - 09/03/06:

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!!!

Anyway as soon as we had our late dinner, I had to check your web site to get my daily fix
Carol, it looks like the link to PayPal is broken on the Web page. I use "Opera" as a web browser, which did not give me the hand to link to PayPal. I then tried "Explorer" and "Mozilla", which gave me the hand but would not link. I wanted to send you a birthday present. I'll figure out a way around it tomorrow.

Richard Dawes


   OH, NO!!!    Dale (Harty - American School, IL - '02 - of VA) leaves home and everything breaks!  I don't know how to fix that one!!!  It was working on 08/22.  And the html code still looks okay to me.  Oh, crum!  I'll check the PayPal site.  Maybe they changed something recently.  If not, I heard some rumor that Dale may be coming home the weekend of 15-17.  He can figure it out.  He's a soo-per genius.

   Thanks so much, Dicky!

 



  From Me ('65) of NC - 09/03/05:

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

   Something seems to be wrong with the settings on my wonderful camera.  All the pictures of me make me look as though I'm short and fat.
 

 



  From Buster Vest ('63) of VA - 09/03/06:

Carol,

I would like to wish my brother, Eddie '68 & my sister, Donna Marie '71, happy birthday. I'm a little late for Eddie, who turned 58 on August 20. Donna Marie will be 53 on September 5. Attached are current pictures taken in June '06.

Thanks,
Buster
 

 
     My goodness! I'd be able to recognize both of them instantly - just as I did you, seeing you for the first time in 40 years!

From TIPS for Extraordinary Living! - Written & Published by Philip E. Humbert, PhD - 09/03/06:

Visit our website at: http://www.philiphumbert.com 

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!

/06 - "Dear Carol, Stormy Weather !!!":

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!   WILD GIGGLES!!!

Dear Carol,

The first picture has been around many times before, but ... enjoy the 23 other pictures. Some of the pictures may have been staged or touched up digitally, but they are still interesting to see.

  From Judy Horton Lindstrom ('63) of FL - 08/27/06 - "YOU ARE GONNA LOVE THIS"
(#4 in a series of 10):

I thought you might love these.
 
 
     AWWW!!!  Aren't they precious?!?

Thanks, Judy!  They could certainly fool me!

 
aaaaaaawwwwwww

They think we 're cute now. Do you think we have them fooled?
   
     



 
   Well, Chickies, there's more to come, but I'd better run.  I suppose I'd better cook something today.  I think there's some kinda law to that effect.
 

   Y'all have a great holiday - and take care of each other! 

   TYPHOONS FOREVER!  We'll Always Have Buckroe!

                          Love to all, Carol  - the Richest Woman in Town

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)
