From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 09/07/07 - "North End - Then & Now":

This PC came up on Ebay recently. I used the 1910 census and determined that the address is 5600 Huntington. It looked very familiar, so I was reasonably sure that it survives. Still, it could have been one of those with the porch missing or disastrous "improvements." The good news is that it is still there and in fairly good shape. Oh, there is some peeling paint and other geriatric problems, but nothing serious. In the 1906 image, you can see a structure in the rear (most likely a carriage house/garage) with two floors and a dome. It is still there, but there is only one floor and no dome. I am guessing a fire.

   WOWZERONI-RINI!!! David, I really believe you have taken up mind reading. I do so love working on Our Old Stomping Grounds.

   As they're listed by address, this beauty falls just below the middle of the page:

   Honey, I forgot to tell you.  Basically, I'm just a slacker.  And a slowpoke.  Actually, a slowpoke slacker.  And I'm blind as a bat and I type with two fingers.  And it takes me FOREVER to process images, so whenever I do that, particularly in bulk as I have been doing this week, I fall dreadfully behind on the Newsletters.

   This week those problems were compounded by the fact that I spent most of my waking time either away from home or on the phone.  This may (or may not) have been productive in other areas, but it didn't do a blooming thing for the Newsletters.

   But you are such a Sweetie-Pie to show such concern, and I had SUCH fun talking with you yesterday afternoon, I will try to be good and comply with your wishes.  Just remember, Sepi, for every person trying to get me to slow down, there are three score or more poking me with a cattle prod trying to get me to get my life into gear and actually DO something.

    From Linda Lane Lane ('64) of VA - 09/09/07 - "MISSING YOU":

Carol,
 

Is there a problem with the website?  I haven't been able to bring it up.  I'm sure it is my error but I don't like you missing out there in space somewhere.  Maybe you're still celebrating that birthday!  Oh, I hope you aren't locked up some where.  I'll send        Cuz Dave to get you out.
 

Love,

Linda

   Hi, Linda-Linda! (Yes, yes, I know your middle name isn't really Linda, but it's so much fun to say "Linda-Linda Lane Lane"!)

   At the particular moment you wrote me, it wasn't you or me; it was the site.  The 00freehost.com server was down for five or six hours yesterday afternoon.

   And only my brain is missing.

   Hang in there; I should be back up to speed in a few days... I hope.....

   I've added your email addy to the 1967 Contact Page:

          http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-1967.html

    Judy and I go way back to Magruder School, so I'm glad to have contact information for her again.  I've also forwarded that information to       Dave and       Pam Smith Arnold (both '65) of VA who are in charge of such things.

From Brian Beachum ('72) of VA - 09/08/07 - "You know you're from the 757 area code if... ":

You know you're from the 757 area code if...


You are amazed whenever any city within 50 miles of your house is mentioned in a text book, national news, etc.

You can name at least three of Mike Joynes' law partners.

You can finish the "Beach Ford" song.

You know Mount Trashmore is a real place, not a joke.

 You can see another 7-11 from the 7-11 you're currently at.

 You know that 64 West in Chesapeake is actually going east.

 Any westbound trip you've ever made involves at least one tunnel.

 You can name at least three underwater tunnels within a twenty mile radius of your home.

You've been friends with, dated or married a sailor.

 You can say "Norfolk" while sounding neither obscene nor incorrect.

 You don't stop and look skyward when aircraft fly over.

 You know what a Food Lion is.

 Newport News is not a catalog, it is a city.

 It's not a peninsula, it's the Peninsula. With a capital P.

 You can name all the I-64 spurs.

 It's not Portsmouth, it's P-town.

 The Strip isn't a nudie bar, it's a tourist trap.

 To you, Scope isn't just mouthwash.

 You know the Boathouse doesn't actually dock any boats.

 You know Dam Neck and Birdneck aren't necks of any kind.

 You don't mind the jet noise.

 You don't slow down in the tunnel, because it's not a big deal.

 One of your major accomplishments in life is holding your breath all the way thru the HRBT...  while driving

 It’s normal for seven cities to be linked in almost every conceivable way.

You can leave town for years at a time and come back to find the same segments of roads still under construction.

 It’s Seven Five Seven, not Seven Fifty-Seven.

 An inch of snow closes everything down. 3 inches is a blizzard.

 MacArthur was not only a brilliant general, but a fine shopping establishment.

 You don't laugh when you hear "Rip Rap Road," in fact you might even duck down really fast, just in case.

 You know that Norfolk International Airport and Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport aren't really international airports.

 No, you're not hallucinating. Those are mermaids.

 You know the real reason we have not been hit by a hurricane in the past several years is because of Pat Robertson.

 You had a nickel for every OBX sticker you saw on the road, you'd be rich by now

Here is a photo of Betsy Goodson Covert circa 1937, which tells me why Dad didn't hesitate to ask her out. Second is a photo Mother supplied of the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1937. She says she can identify many and as opportunity arises, I'll get it for you. Meantime, maybe some classmates will help out.    WOWZERONI-ROONI!!! What gems there are! Thanks, Norm!

Oh, yeah - here I am blowing out those candles (well, to prevent fires during this period of extreme drought in North Carolina, the one candle represented all sixty) on the cheesecake that Dimples     (Sepi Dinwiddie Prichard - '58 - of NC) gave me at my Birthday Party in Raleigh.    If there's one thing I like to do, it's celebrate! Let the partying continue!!    Thanks, Sweetie!

   How right you are, Baby Girl! I'll have to agree with your favorites. These are a real day brightener - and they're perfect for Grandparents' Day!  Thanks, Webby, I love you, too!

      From one of my Famous Marines,  Herb Hice of MI, who served in the Pacific Theater during WWII - 09/08/07 - "Dear Carol, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!":

   Thank you, Herbie Darlin! A great voice has indeed been stilled. Thanks for remembering me. Like you, I do love opera.

   (SHHHH! Don't tell anybody, but I've always been partial to baritones. That's a carefully guarded secret, though.)

   And of course, I remember the incomparable Mario Lanza! 

     From Jimmy Parker ('62) of VA - 09/09/07 - "Re: 08/30/07 - Dancing Queen":

Happy, happy birthday! May your day be merry and bright, and your tomorrows bring nothing but light.

I'm in Florida visiting my daughter and grand kids for a week or so. Take care of yourself.

Jimmy

   Thank you, Jimmy Darlin'! Have fun with your chickadees!

Silver Threads Among the Gold

Words by Eben E. Rexford (1848-1916);
Music by Hart Pease Danks (1834-1903), 1873


Darling, I am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold
Shine upon my brow today;
Life is fading fast away;
But, my darling, you will be, will be,
Always young and fair to me,
Yes, my darling, you will be,
Always young and fair to me.
Chorus:

When your hair is silver white,
And your cheeks no longer bright,
With the roses of the May;
I will kiss your lips and say-
Oh! my darling, mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown,
Yes, my darling, mine alone,
You have never older grown.
Chorus:

Love can never more grow old,
Locks may lose their brown and gold,
Cheeks may fade and hollow grow,
But the hearts that love will know
Never, never, winter's frost and chill:
Summer warmth is in them still-
Never winter's frost and chill,
Summer warmth is in them still.
Chorus:

Love is always young and fair,-
What to us is silver hair,
Faded cheeks or steps grown slow,
To the heart that beats below?
Since I kissed you, mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown-
Since I kissed you, mine alone,
You have never older grown.
Chorus:

Chorus:
Darling, I am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold,
Shine upon my brow today;
Life is fading fast away.
