From Cheryl Mays Howard ('66) of VA - 09/08/05:
Cheryl
sent me the cutest card she made on her computer in the mail! I wish I
could scan it
and show it to you with all the images, but I can't - but here's what it said:
FRONT: | INSIDE: | ||
Happy Birthday Web Queen
NNHS |
Wishing you many blessings the coming year as we all get old together! You are the bomb! We so appreciate all your hard work keeping all us Typhoons straight. I am so sorry we did not know each other better in school! We would have been great company on our days "off" from school! Love, |
Thank you so much for the
card and gift, too, Cheryl! That was so incredibly thoughtful of you!!!
I showed
it to everyone I saw. My sister was delightedly aghast when she reached
the part about our days "off".
"There were TWO of you?!?"
She thought I was the only one who took "sick" days......... WILD GIGGLES!!!
From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 09/09/05:
Carol,
Sorry to hear of your email problems, but hopefully this reaches you for forwarding to the newsletter.
Thanks for welcoming an old stray HHS
dog (that’s me) into the Typhoon fold, and greetings to all
that I know and don’t know from the past. What you all (not “y’all”) have in the
NNHS Newsletter is
fabulous and equally impressive by the number of alum’s from all over that
participate. While we
from HHS have fantastic reunions, they seem to be the rare occasion (that I’m
aware of) when we all
catch up with each other. But then Crabs move slower than Typhoons. As I recall,
this was proven true
during some of the Thanksgiving Day football games…….no offense you other
Crabbers out there.
Anyway, I’m very happy to join you and if anyone cares to cruise down memory
lane, I’ll be happy
to ride shotgun. And if Jo Ann (Stewart - '64 - of TX) will take me back,
maybe we can double-date.
Does anyone know who took Red’s pig?
Chandler Nelms of MD
HHS ‘63
Thank you , Chandler! Yes, sir, your notes are making it through just fine!
You're certainly more than
welcome here with us, and I just have one question. Honey, if you're an
"old stray
dog", would you mind telling me what breed that might be?!? GLORY!!!
And I am certainly living out several
fantasies by running this web site and associating with so many fine and
remarkable people! This is indeed a rare and wonderful thing, and it all
happened almost accidentally and
magically!
Hmmm - memory lane.... shotgun..... double-date.... Are you speaking metaphorically here?!?
And about that
pig...Somebody once told me that story in great detail (which I, of course, have
forgotten). That
almost had to be you, wasn't it, Tommee?? Would you mind
sharing that again with the rest of the class, please?!?

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reds-pier.html - Wayne Stokes ('65 - of VA) began the saga here (Thanks,
Wayne Honey!), but we don't seem to have ever printed the ending......
There are memories galore already posted, especially in the Our Old Stomping Grounds pages and on WGH.

And speaking of WGH:
From Dale Parsons ('69) of Maui, HI - 09/09/05:
I'm glad you liked it, Dale!
It was fun, wasn't it?!? Thanks again, Dave (Spriggs - '64 - of VA),
for finding
it for us! And yes, there seemed to be several glitches in it here and
there - and certainly Question # 79
should have been worded a bit differently.
But in view of the record number
of colossal bloopers I've made lately, it almost boosted my spirits to see
that I'm not alone in my error-making!
And WOWZERS!!! What
a sweet thing to say! While I'm in the "True Confessions" mode, I must
tell you
now if I never did before, Dale, when you joined us, I all but fainted.
Well, I would have, except that I jumped
up and started running through the house screaming, "I got a letter from Dale
Parsons!! I got a letter
from DALE PARSONS!!!"
When I used to listen to you on
the radio, it never entered my mind that we had actually gone to school
together! It still boggles my poor little pea-brain! So if I've
given you a single smile, then I'm just overwhelmed.
Thanks, Dale!
From Gloria Woolard Price ('65) of FL - 09/09/05:
Ahhh, another Big Blooper
for me. YEA!!! Thanks for bringing that to my
attention, Gloria! I fixed the
problem as soon as I returned home - haven't the slightest idea how it happened
in the first place, but I did
something a little unusual for me yesterday. I hit the "send"
button on the Newsletter announcements, and
then went down the street to play "doll babies" as promised with Cute Stuff and
his wife and new baby.
More on that later.....
Anyway, here are all four links again. They don't make as much sense if taken out of order.

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/04-29-05-NNHS-Oldies-But-Goodies.html
Embarrassing?!?
Well, the comments were all admiring and flattering....oh, who am I
kidding?!? We
were all positively drooling! I suppose it would depend on what sort
of thing embarrasses you, Gloria.
Personally, if I ever actually encounter the man, I shall blush so
scarlet
everyone will think I'm the Crabber!!!
Oh, what was that,
Chandler? No, I didn't say anything. No, I was just sitting here,
really..........
From Evelyn Fryer Fish ('58) of TX - 09/09/05:
Do you have an email address or address/telephone number for Mr. Huller?
Thanks, Evelyn Fryer Fish
Hi, Evelyn! Some contact info, hmmm? Well, let's see.....
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/faculty.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teachers.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Huller.html - Oh, my goodness! What kind of goofiness is this?!?
There are no images at
all - just empty spaces! Wait a minute - maybe they're in the file, and I
was just
interrupted before I posted them! NOOOO - there's not even a
FILE!!! ARGHHHHH!
Sigh.
Well, Evelyn, I would say that
this is definitely a question for Joe Madagan ('57 - of FL). He
still has an
incredible memory, and I seem to have completely lost my mind.....
Oh, Adonis!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Ev!
From Joe Drewry )'58) of VA - 09/09/05 - Mr. Nettles:
Thank you, Joe. As one of
their Class Sponsors, Mrs. Nettles attended the 35-Year Reunion of the Class
of 1962 in the Fall of 1997. Perhaps some of you were blessed enough to
see her there.
Oh, guess what? All of
Mrs. Nettles' images disappeared from her page during some reformatting
procedure
gone astray years ago (from the style - or lack thereof - it
appears to be one of our very first pages), and were
never replaced. I think I had some fantasy they would all magically
reappear, so I never rescanned them, and now
I am scanner-less. Sigh.
I've mentioned this a few times
before. When I was in the third grade, the Nettles' daughter Adrienne
('56) was
a senior at NNHS. One day
Mama and
I went to the high school to pick up Eleanor (Buckley Nowitzky - '59 -
of NC) for some reason, and I chanced to see Adrienne. I thought she
was the most beautiful, elegant, graceful
girl I'd ever seen. I asked Eleanor who she was, and she told me her name.
When I returned home, I looked at all
her pictures in Eleanor's 1955 Anchor, and decided if I ever had a
daughter, I would name her Adrienne.
After six sons, exactly one
month before my 40th birthday, Adrienne Helene was born - and what a
delight she
is! Actually, all seven of my children have brought me tremendous joy, and
that's as it should be.
From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 09/09/05:
GIGGLES!! Thanks!
YES, Judy,
the very one!!! Well, maybe..... Actually, I don't have the
foggiest notion - but really, how many
Sharron (with two "R"'s) Wanderers could there have been?!? If I had a
scanner right now, I'd break out my
'61 Anchor and show you her easily recognizable senior portrait.
As it stands, we do have her Cheerleading picture posted:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/cheerleaders.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/cheerleaders-60.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/cheerleaders/cheerleaders-60.jpg
So, what do you think? Same one, yes?
What I want to know is - why is there no Seven Oaks page in "Our Old Apartments"?!?
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/apartments.html
Who is the ding-bat in charge of this site, anyway?!? Oh, yeah............
"Nevermind!"
From Me ('65) of NC - 09/09/05:
Now about that "doll baby" story.......
What a beautiful sweet cuddly
baby! As a "giant economy size" model, he seems so much like my own
"little" babies, it's hard to remember we're not really related by blood
as well as by spirit!
http://www.angelfire.com/ct3/aao/cluckmeat/familyhistory.html
From Todd ('65) and Pam Givens of Northern VA - 09/09/05 - "Vacation Plans":
I am writing this in Todd's stead.
He is busy doing a few things to prepare for his flight out of the
DC area to Gulf Port, Mississippi tomorrow morning. He will be working with a
small church
in Long Beach, MS for 4-6 weeks with any relief work he can provide. He made
the decision
at dinner last night and then made a phone call to a person who has been
coordinating many
things related to the disaster relief efforts. She got him assigned to Long
Beach. In less than 24
hours, he had decided, had been assigned, and we had a ticket out of town on
North West Air.
WOWZERONI!!!
Well, Todd and Pam, ya'll are
out of breath, and we're all but speechless. But knowing Todd as we do,
we're not
surprised - just honored to have known him all these years.
We'll consider you a "firm maybe" for the Reunion.........
Yes, please do keep us posted - and of course we'll keep you in our prayers! Bless you all!
Y'all have a good day and
a great weekend, remember that tomorrow (lest you forget, even if you could)
is
Patriot Day - and
take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

Puff the Magic Dragon
Written by Peter Yarrow and Leonard Lipton, © 1963
(Peter, Paul, and Mary)
Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hon-a-lee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax,
And other fancy stuff.
Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail,
Jackie kept a lookout perch on
Puff's gigantic tail.
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow where 'ere they came,
And pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name.
Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hon-a-lee.
Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hon-a-lee.
A dragon lives forever
But not so little boys,
Painted wings and giant strings
Make way for other toys.
One dark night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more,
And Puff that mighty dragon,
He ceased his fearless roar
Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hon-a-lee.
Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hon-a-lee.
His head was bent in sorrow,
Green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend,
Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave.
Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hon-a-lee.
Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Hon-a-lee.

Magic Dragon"
