Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
You're all so
sweet, I thought I'd give you some sugar!

BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JywK_5bT8z0 - Sugar Sugar - The Archies, 1969
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar,_Sugar:
| "Sugar, Sugar" is a
pop song written by Jeff Barry and
Andy
Kim. It was a four-week 1969 number-one hit single by fictional
characters
The Archies. Produced by
Jeff Barry, the song was originally released on the album
Everything's Archie. The album is the product of a group of
studio musicians managed by
Don Kirshner.
Ron
Dante's lead vocals were accompanied by those of
Toni
Wine (who sang the line "I'm gonna make your life so sweet"), and
Andy
Kim. Together they provided the voices of the Archies using
multitracking. When the song was initially released, Kirshner had promotion men play it for radio station execs without telling them the name of the group (due to the somewhat disappointing chart performance of the Archies' previous single, "Bang-Shang-a-Lang," which went to #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts). Only after most of the DJs liked the song were they told that it was performed by a cartoon group. The Archies’ hit wound up as one of the biggest (and most unexpected) #1 hits of the year, one of the biggest bubblegum hits of all time, both in America and in Great Britain, thanks partly to association with the hit CBS-TV Saturday morning cartoon series. The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar" was the 1969 number-one single of the year... |

TODAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
From
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0906.htm - INCLUDING:
Friday, Sept. 6, 1861
PROMPT PROTECTION PROVIDED PADUCAH
Three days ago Gen. Gideon Pillow, CSA, had marched a Confederate army into
Kentucky to “protect” them from a Federal invasion. This was just the
opportunity Gen. U.S. Grant, USA, had been waiting for and he had troopers,
transports and gunboats conveniently ready to go. His men, loaded on the
transports and protected by the gunboats, sailed across the river to land at the
strategic town of Paducah. Located as it was at the junction of the Ohio with
the Tennessee River, it would prove crucial to the Union effort, both to restore
Kentucky to the union and to isolate the Confederacy by taking control of the
Father of Waters.
Saturday, Sept. 6, 1862
STONEWALL’S SURVEY SEEKS SOLDIERS; SEES SCORN
Part of the rationale for Robert E. Lee’s excursion into Maryland was an
assumption that secessionist sentiment was strong in the state. Many in the
South believed that the only thing keeping Lord Baltimore’s land in the Union
was the heavy presence of Union troops, and that when the Army of Northern
Virginia came to call, the land would rise up to support them. Gen. Thomas J.
“Stonewall” Jackson rode into Frederick, Md. today with his men and got quite a
rude surprise. Far from cheering in the streets, most people locked themselves
in their houses and hid any food, supplies or valuables. Even some Southern
soldiers opposed the move, feeling that their job was to defend their country,
not invade another, and refused to cross the Potomac.
Sunday, Sept. 6, 1863
BEAUREGARD BACKS BATTERY BUG-OUT, BITTERLY
It had been a long-fought battle in the mouth of Charleston Harbor, and one of
the strongest defenders had been the Confederate garrison of Battery Wagner on
Morris Island. Although little more than some cannon behind a heap of sand, the
battery had proved so stubborn that some in the North had taken to calling it
“Fort Wagner”. The garrison was protected by a bombproof shelter, but still the
Federal land and Navy guns pounded them incessantly. Gen. Beauregard, in charge
of the overall defense of the harbor, knew that a Yankee landing and assault was
inevitable, and against that the men could not stand. For this reason, and with
great reluctance, he ordered the works abandoned under cover of darkness.
Battery Gregg on the same island was also given up.
Tuesday, Sept. 6, 1864
SEARCY, SARA SEE SCUFFLING
The big armies were mostly quiet today. Sherman’s men were attempting to cope
with the administration of the newly-conquered Atlanta, Ga. Elsewhere, in
Virginia and the Shenandoah and such places, no battles occurred today. This is
not to say that peace had settled on the divided land, alas. Skirmishing took
place in Eight Mile Post on the Natchez and Liberty Road in Mississippi;
Readyville, Tenn., Searcy and Richland, Arkansas, and on a river known as Brazos
Santiago, Texas. Expeditions--missions to determine enemy locations but not
specifically with an intent of fighting--were conducted by the Union forces in
the region of Morganza and Bayou Sara, La.

Typhoon Tailgate
- Saturday, September 17, 2011 at 4:00 PM at
CNU":
| Hi Carol, Re: the e-mail about tailgating at CNU..........When I rode past the tailgating lot Saturday, a sign was posted stating that there is a $15.00 fee; cash only. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Since it's almost 1a.m., I can't double check this info with my daughter-in-law (CNU prof. and counselor) at this time. I'll try to remember to call her later this a.m. and get back with you so that you can alert those planning to attend if this charge will apply to all games. The remainder of home games are supposed to be at 7:00 p.m., I think, because CNU now has lights. Have a safe and fun trip. Fran Scott P.S. Carol, I just spoke with my daughter-in-law; I was correct. There is now a $15.00 fee to park in the tailgating lot, and you must have cash. This new "wrinkle" definitely did not appear to bother the masses at CNU's first game on Saturday! Fran
YOWZERS!
Oh, well, forewarned is forearmed. Thanks so very much for letting us
know, Fran!

From Gene Davis (Churchland HS - '62) of OH - 09/06/11, 2:16 PM - "photo comments":

I was shocked and happy to see the images of
the Tankar Stations in
Portsmouth, VA on your website
when I did a Bing Search....
I wanted to let you know I worked at both
locations which are pictured.....the one in color was on
Portsmouth Boulevard in Truxton and the one in black and white
was on High Street.....I also worked at the Robo Car wash which
was next to the High Street station.
Although I was a Portsmouth resident and went
to Churchland High School (62 grad) I have enjoyed your page
which I first discovered when I was looking for memories of
WGH and other radio stations I
listened to as a teen and where I got my training for my radio
career.
If anyone has a photo of the old WKLX studios
at Craney Island I would love to see that as well as photos of
WFOG and WLPM in Suffolk. I trained at WKLX and worked at the
Suffolk stations...
Thanks for a lot of shared memories

Done to death by a banana.
It wasn't the fruit that laid her low,
But the skin of the thing that made her go.
==================================
On a grave from the 1880s in Nantucket,
Massachusetts:
Under the sod and under the trees,
Lies the body of Jonathan Pease..
He is not here, there's only the pod.
Pease shelled out and went to God.
==================================
In a cemetery in England:
Remember man, as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, so shall you be..
Remember this and follow me.
To which someone replied by writing on the tombstone:
To follow you I'll not consent.
Until I know which way you went.

FINALLY:
| From www.ajokeaday.com - 09/05/11: |
A panda bear walks into a bar and orders a sandwich. The waiter brings him the sandwich. The panda bear eats it, pulls out a pistol, kills the waiter, and gets up and starts to walk out. The bartender yells for him to stop. The panda bear asks, "What do you want?" The bartender replies, "First you come in here, order food, kill my waiter, then try to go without paying for your food." The panda bear turns around and says, "Hey! I'm a Panda. Look it up!" The bartender goes into the back room and looks up panda bear in the encyclopedia, which read: "Panda: a bear-like marsupial originating in Asian regions. Known largely for it's stark black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves." |
