So here's Nicholas last year and when he visited me in July. His enrollment at pre-K in Wilmington has resulted in a seven-day hospitalization for Salmonella (his Oma arrived just in time). He's doing much better, but Carolina has to do a better job with my little guy!   Norm Covert ('61)    What precious pictures these are!

   That is one cute little boy, Normie!  He look so forlorn under that big umbrella - and so darling on Grandad's lap! Do my eyes deceive me, or does he look just like you?!? I can readily see why his leaving home broke your heart!

   What a bizarre and wrenching story about the Salmonella! Poor little guy! I had heard no such reports. I certainly hope things improve down there in Wilmington!

   Thanks for sharing these with us, Norm! You're both adorable!

Dear, Sweet Carol,

 

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!  I let your birthday slip right past me without telling you to have a wonderful day!!! But I think you had a good time in Raleigh with       Sepi (Dinwiddie Prichard - '58 - of NC). 

Please tell me that turning 60 was not painful....because I'm right behind ya, baby, in December.  Jim and I want you to know how special you are and..... DAHLING  .... YOU LOOK MAAAHHHVELOUS!!!!

 

Love & Hugs,

Melody and Jim DeBerry

Loved the photos of    Coach Nuttycombe's event.  Do you have his e-mail address?  I would like to send him a note.

   Thanks, Lady! No, I don't, but hopefully it's on it's way to you from one of those sources I sent you.  If not, let me know!

       From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 09/11/07 - "My Mother's NNHS 1938 Pennant":

I can't recall if I mentioned this, but the NNHS Boys Lunch Bunch met on Tuesday 4 Sep at The Silver Diner in NN. In attendance were    Fred Mays ('60),   Tom Flax ('64), Charles Forrest ('64), and myself.

I took that opportunity to donate the pennant to Fred to maintain in his memorabilia collection. I am sure that it will be displayed often and well cared for.  It seemed to make more sense that keeping it in some drawer in my home.  Next, I will decide if/when to give him her diploma and NNHS grade cards, which were also in the magic trunk. I also found a photo of my father's graduating high school class (Bridgeville (PA) High School, Class of 1941), my Little League team photo from 1958 in Glen Burnie MD, as well as my teeeeeeeny baby booties (NOT bronzed, thank goodness).  I am sure that more surprises await.

    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 09/11/07 - "The Hobby Center; Our Old Stomping Grounds":

The combination of two items submitted by        Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA and   Glenn Dye ('60) of TX prompted me to recall what a thrill it was to enjoy the display of model railroads at The Hobby Center during Christmas and New Year while we were students at NNHS. I was pleased to find you have a page in Our Old Stomping Grounds section of your website, but a bit disappointed to find no comments or memories of this outstanding place by your many subscribers.
 

Thank you so much, Adonis! As you know, I do love working on the Our Old Stomping Grounds pages more than anything else I do here. I added your great memory plus some clip art, re-colored the entire page (twice), and it's all set to collect some more thoughts:

From Betty Lankes (Hampton HS - '71) of VA - 09/11/07 - "White Oak Lodge":

You had mentioned needing a photo of the White Oak Lodge and here is one I took in 2004. Is it true the place is closed now? That is very sad. So much good old stuff is disappearing from Kecoughtan Road. (I'm glad we still have the Oasis, though!) When I lived in this neighborhood in the 70s, the Oaks was nice at the dinner hour but got rough later on. Around '79 or so, I remember being excited to go there to see one of my favorite bands from Richmond, Bill Blue. A fight broke out during the show and an ashtray flew by our table, narrowly missing my date's face! The rowdy audience gave Bill Blue a bad impression of Hampton and I guess they never played there again. But the place had character!

   Thanks so much, Betty! What a gorgeous image!

   I'm delighted to report that I had mistaken "Closed (until we reopen at our normal hour)" for "Closed Permanently".

Carol...Dear, dear friend...

Thanks for printing my apology to our growing family of the NNHS  Newsletter.   Welcome all you Newbies, we are so glad to have you!!!!

Ever since you were stung by that Killer-Bee on your Birthday, you have been using the word bee a lot.  Are you sure it wasn't a shrunken up old vampire ?  Save that stinger and the next time you come to Raleigh bring it and we will take the stinger to an Entomologist at N.C. State and find out just what it was...a Bee or not...a Bee...we have a zinger of a stinger Mr. Entomologist. Could it bee a  Killer Bee ?  My friend has bee-n acting stranger than usual since the Sting !  She won't say where she got stung, except that is was in the Ladies Room at a local restaurant !  And could you possibly tell us WHY exactly, a bee would bee in a Ladies Room ?  Was it a Queen Bee ?  I was in a Ladies Room with a Queen before,  but I didn't know it until a friend told me....Well, whom ever it was couldn't have possibly gone in the Men's Room with all that glittery turquoise eye-shadow on...and the dress that matched, the poor thing didn't have a chance...I mean, I'll share... just as long as they put the seat back down !!!

If you Newbies want to stay with us after reading this...Hang on tight, you're in for a ride....WHEEEEE !!!!  Ladies Room...Ladies rules !

"Dimples a.k.a .Sepi

   WILDEST GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Sepi!
