Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Happy Birthday today to Kathy Pilgrim Clark ('63) of VA! WOWZERS!
http://nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html
NEWBIES:
1. Candy Hixson Whitley (Ferguson HS - '68) of VA - 09/07/05
Candy, of course, has
been on the mailing list for a good long while. I had somehow just never
added her
to the Alumni Page. And while I had the school and the year correct, I may
still have been trying to remember
her maiden name for another good long while, had I not broken down and asked her
husband, David Whitley
('67), for it.
Thanks, David - and welcome, Candy!

From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 09/06/05:
Well, now, how cool is
that?!? Thanks, Gloria! I added you and the Air Force, and
while I was there, I
added the Army, the Navy, and the Coast Guard. The Marine Corps was
already there, of course....

From Donnie Morris ('67) of VA - 09/06/05:
Certainly, Sweetie - I added you, too!
http://nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html
And I thought you were safely on on
mailing list, as you've been on our Alumni Page for some time,
but as your email addy was not in my system, I added that too.

Thanks, Donnie!
From Bill Gross ('48) of VA - 09/06/05:
I am a graduate of the February class
of 1948. You must spend a lot of time with this web site
and I am sure it is like a full time job. Right at the present time I am in San
Antonio, TX for a
reunion of the 13Th Bomb Squadron Association and will depart on Sunday morning
for Tucson,
Phoenix and then back to Knob Noster, MO for the reactivation of the 13Th Bomb
Squadron as
a B-2 outfit.
Gas is high but its always a great
sight to see this wonderful country and appreciate what we
have here and it's taken so much for granted.
Keep up the good work and I will keep
checking where I have a internet connection. How did we
ever survive before computers, plastic and cell phones.
Regards to you and all those folks of the class of NNHS 48.
Bill Gross
WILD
GIGGLES!!! Funny you should mention that, Bill! Ever
since my systems became fully
operational again (well, ALMOST!) on 08/15/05, I've spent ten to twelve
hours a day working on this Mondays
through Fridays and another four or five on Saturdays. But, hey -
the pay is great!!! 
What an exciting trip you must be having, Bill - how marvelous for you! Thanks for telling us!
And I can only liken our
previous survival in this world (you left out microwave ovens!) to life
without hugs. As
Ashleigh Montague's research proved, it is sometimes possible to survive,
but never to thrive. For that one
needs twelve hugs a day (which I always personally collect...).
And I fully intend to collect many more times that amount at the upcoming Glorious Reunion!!!! YEA!!!!
From Cheryl Mays Howard ('66) of VA - 09/06/05:
I was wondering when
you and your brother, Fred, were gonna pick up on that detail, Cheryl! It
was in our 08/24/05
Newsletter!!!
http://nnhs65.00freehost.com/08-24-05-NNHS-Barbara-Ann.html
Their youngest son, Timothy, is about six weeks younger than our oldest
son, Lewis, and there's a funny story
connected with that. You must ask her sometime. So I'm sending each
of you the other's email addy so you can
catch up with one another. Have fun!

That's it - the genes!
Cheryl and I both take after our
grandmother, Sudie, who was Practically Perfect in Every Way - although she
acts more |

Thanks, Cheryl!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 09/06/05:
Dear Sweet Adonis, I
regret to inform you that all that data was lost. Actually, it did
initially survive, but had to be
destroyed as repeated efforts failed to cleanse it of its iniquities, and all my
tech-reps agreed it had the potential
to destroy everything once again. Most reluctantly, and with great weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth, I
agreed - and was grateful for what remained, as I had greatly feared all
would be lost.
I thought possibly I had some
material from another source concerning Mr. Stanley which I could add for you,
but
as yet I have been unable to locate it.
I'm so sorry, Joe!

OH, GOODY!!!
PICTURES!!! One of the reasons I so enjoy doing what I do is so often
it's just like Christmas
morning! (And of course, I'm still just a kid!)
WOWZERONI!!! Thanks, Paul! I've posted these on the News link - which I just redid once again:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/news.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/news-2005.html
And I added your regrets to the Reunion - Attending page. You do seem to be a bit preoccupied there, Sweetie!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2005-attending.html
Thanks so much for your insights, Paul! And belated birthday wishes are
just fine, too - I appreciate them! Take
care of yourself!
From Kathy Pilgrim Clark ('63) of VA - 09/06/05:
I
really liked the music quiz. I never listened to much rock and roll because of
band, church choir
and voice lessons but over the years, you do hear it all over. I have always
been able to recall lyrics
and I guess I heard more rock and roll than I realized because I missed 8
questions. And like Gloria
(Woolard Price - HHS - '65 - of FL), I was sitting here silently saying the
lyrics to myself to get
to the answers. It was fun.
KC
WOWZERONI!!! You only
missed 8 questions?!? That means you answered 72 correctly!!! I'm
wildly
impressed! I think I caught a bad case of the giggles while I was
"testing" - which caused me to give even
more wrong answers and to giggle even harder, and to .......well, you get the
picture.... Not that I'm silly or
anything.......
Thanks, Kathy, and again, Happy Birthday!
From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 09/06/05:
Carol -- regarding the R&R
Trivia quiz -- may I claim worst score?? I only got 34 right -- most
of the 50's, and practically none of the 60's. (Guess I am truly a product of
the 50's!) -- Ron
WILD GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Ronnie, you made my day - which was already a great one!
From Jean Poole Burton ('64 of RI - 09/06/05:
...... looks like I will be in Virginia at that time
(October) and might actually get there (to the reunion) but
my plans are not nailed down yet...I will keep working on it!
Love, Jeanb

The Wanderer
(Dion and the Belmonts, 1962)
Oh well I'm the
type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around...
Oh well there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl with that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt I got Rosie on my chest
Cause I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around...
Oh well I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
'Til I'm as happy as a clown
With my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere
I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the world
Yeah I'm the wanderer yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around...
Oh yeah I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the world
Yeah cause I'm a wanderer yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around...
Cause I'm a wanderer yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around...
