From Sydney Dearing ('56) of TN - 09/11/08 - "Some Random Thoughts":
I saw very few myself, Sydney, other than own own.....
You probably needn't fear, Sydney.
I can only hold my silence for so long.
"Anyone? Anyone?"
WOWZERONI-RINI!!!
I would personally be delighted to
own such a treasure - as would, I am certain, many others! Do keep us posted!
http://oldfortyfives.com/thoseoldwesterns.htm
For a period of about five or six years, during and immediately after the war years, myself and a friend or two would faithfully ride the trolley or city bus every Saturday morning from Buckroe and later from Southhampton to the Langley Theater in downtown Hampton for a double feature western. A day at the movies included two western features, a chapter of the latest serial, a cartoon and a comedy short and a newsreel of our progress in the war.
What a neat memory! I posted it here:

Thanks, Sydney - for
everything!
From
Jerry Blanchard ('62) of VA - 09/11/08 -
"Warwick Theater":
Carol,
The stories about the Warwick Theater do bring back a load of memories for me. The Warwick Theater was my first job. I had to get a work permit signed by my mom so I could work. The price to get in was 14 cents, and I started out making 14 cents an hour. I could only work 18 hours a week. What a time.
Jerry Blanchard (Class of 62) of Va.
WOW - and wasn't
that only yesterday?!? Thanks, Jerry!

river":
Thanks,
Sarah Sugah!
From My Friend Judy of IL - 09/11/08 - "There comes a point in your life when you realize:":
Thanks so much,
Jude!
From Buster Vest ('63) of VA - 09/11/08 - "An Old Juke Box!":
Man!! Does this bring back lots of memories.
Oh, what fun!
Thanks, Buster!
See ya soon!
From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 09/11/08 - "Spell Check":
A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven.
While she was waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she peeked through the
gates.
She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around were her parents and
all
the other people she had loved and who had died before her.
They saw her and began calling greetings to her:
"Hello - How are you! We've been waiting for you! Good to see you."
When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him,
"This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?"
"You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told her.
"Which word?" the woman asked.
"Love."
The woman correctly spelled "Love"
and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.
About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman
and
asked her to watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day.
While the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived.
"I'm surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been?"
"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her.
"I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were
ill. And then I won the multi-state lottery. I sold the little house you and
I lived in and bought a huge mansion, and my wife and I traveled all around
the world. We were on vacation in Cancun and I went water skiing today. I
fell and hit my head, and here I am. What a bummer! How do I get in?"
"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.
"Which word?" her husband asked.
" Czechoslovakia."
Moral of the story: Never make a woman angry... There will be Hell to pay later!
Thanks,
Joyce!
From Joan
Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 09/12/08 - "Too funny (and sometimes too
true) not to pass along...":
Here is the exchange :
Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you she died back in January.'
Citibank: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'
Family Member: 'Maybe you should turn it over to collections.'
Citibank: 'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.'
Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'
Citibank: 'Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!'
Family Member: 'Do you think God will be mad at her?'
Citibank: 'Excuse me?'
Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?'
Citibank: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.'
Supervisor gets on the phone :
Family Member: 'I'm calling to tell you, she died back in January with a $0 balance.'
Citibank: 'The account was never closed and late fees and charges still apply.'
Family Member: 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?'
Citibank: (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?'
Family Member: 'No, I'm her great nephew.' (Lawyer info was given)
Citibank: 'Could you fax us a certificate of death?'
Family Member: 'Sure.' (Fax number was given )
After they get the fax :
Citibank: 'Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.'
Family Member: 'Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. She won't care.'
Citibank: 'Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.' (What is wrong with these people?!?)
Family Member: 'Would you like her new billing address?'
Citibank: 'That might help.'
Family Member: 'Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69.'
Citibank: 'Sir, that's a cemetery !'
Family Member: 'And what do you do with dead people on your planet???
Thanks,
Joan!

Good Vibrations
- Brian Wilson, 1966
I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Close my eyes
She's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
(Ahhhhhhh)
(Ah my my what elation)
I don't know where but she sends me there
(Ah my my what a sensation)
(Ah my my what elations)
(Ah my my what)
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin'
Ahhhhhhhh
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
(I'm pickin' up good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop)
(Excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's na na...
Na na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na
Do do do do do
