REQUEST:
If
anyone knows where to locate Jean Hooker Hanson (Hampton HS - '64),
we've received an inquiry concerning her. She was last known to have
been somewhere in TX. She had a brother, Richard Hooker,
who attended NNHS; I do not know if he was
younger or older than she, as I cannot seem to find him in the 1955 - 1966
Anchors. (That proves absolutely nothing, of course. We all know
I could be staring directly at his photo and not see it).
If you know where to reach
either of them, please contact me so that I may relay that information.
Thanks!

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
Thanks so much, Bobby!!! I
seem to be too computer illiterate to figure out how to convert this
attachment into a form I can use, so I just copied the information from it
for now, until a later time. I missed some of the graphics this way,
but I caught all of the pertinent information. |

From My Friend, Jamie, of VA - 08/31/06:
Check for your Driver's License .
. and remove it! I definitely removed mine. I suggest you all do the same. Now you can see anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including your own! http://www.license.shorturl.com/ I just searched for mine and there it was...picture and all! Thanks Homeland Security! Go to the web site, and check it out. It's unbelievable!!! Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove". This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement. Please notify all your friends so they can protect themselves, too. Believe me they will thank you for it.
Why, thank you, Jamie, for this very
enlightening site!
Y'all have a look! |

things
![]() ![]() As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident. One of them missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's car wouldn't start. One went back to answer the telephone. One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have. One couldn't get a taxi. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today. ![]() Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone... all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.. ![]() Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; God is at work watching over you. ![]() May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose. ![]() ![]()
Yes, it is! ![]()
But this overall theme is
usually a difficult concept for me to grasp, Joyce. Thanks so much
for the beautiful reminder!

And it's so good to hear
from you again, Lady!!!

09/08/05 - "Dixie Hospital":
I saw this image on eBay recently and snagged it, as Dixie Hospital played
such an important role in our lives. Many of y'all were born in one of
their buildings. I know I had a much earlier postcard which pictured one of those, but I cannot seem to locate it. Meanwhile, I added this new page to Our Old Stomping Grounds: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-stomping.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-C-G.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/dixie-hospital.html - brand new page |

Thank you, David!
That is a great
number!
I posted them for you:
From Pam Smith Arnold ('65) of VA -
09/09/06 - "The Finest Thing":
Carol,
I see lot of mail about support for our soldiers. Just wanted to let you know that my oldest, Laura, is now in Kuwait waiting to be moved to Iraq very soon. Her husband, George, follows her during this coming week. It is George's second tour in Iraq; Laura has served a tour in Afghanistan. I personally am extremely proud of them both. As well you
should be!
I don't believe that there
is any finer thing that one can do than to support our country. They are
both captains and have a large number of people reporting to them. They
tell me their people are constantly asking if they think the people here
in the states support them. When I tell people I talk to (and I will talk
to just about anyone - some things don't change!), many tell me to please
tell Laura and George thanks for serving our country and letting all the
rest of us be safe. That is great to hear.
Please echo those sentiments
to Laura and George from all of us here, and let them know our thoughts
and prayers will be with them - and you!

and bubbly till then. We all do love you so!

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.
