see that Tena starts receiving the notifications! Thanks so
much!

From Fred Mays ('60) of VA
to
Karen Weinstein Witte ('60) of FL - 09/13/07 - "Mexican Jews":
Al replied, "I don't know, let's ask our waiter." When the waiter came by, Al asked him, "Are there any Mexican Jews?" and the waiter said, "I don't know Senor, I'll ask the cooks."
He returned from the kitchen in a few minutes and said"No sir, no Mexican Jews."
Al wasn't really satisfied with that and asked,"Are you Absolutely sure?"
The waiter, realizing he was dealing with "Gringos" gave the expected answer, "I will check again, Senor!" and went back into the kitchen. While the waiter was away, Sid said, "I find it hard to believe that there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere."
The waiter returned and said "Senor, the head cook said there is no Mexican Jews."
"Are you certain?" Al asked once again."I can't believe there are no Mexican Jews!"
"Senor, I ask EVERYONE," replied the exasperated waiter, "All we have is ...
Orange Jews .. Prune Jews ... Tomato Jews ... Pineapple Jews and Grape Jews."

09/14/07 - "RE: Mexican Jews":
From Fred Mays ('60) of VA
to
Karen Weinstein Witte ('60) of FL - 09/14/07:
Actually, I only do memorabilia displays at
reunions for those asking me and I was happy to do the 50 year reunion for the
class of 1957. I enjoyed both nights so much. When they had the "In
Memoriam" pictures on the screen of all those who had died, they used the Key
Club bell and a gavel to strike the bell one time after they said the name of
the deceased. That was emotional.....there were at least 30 members of that
class who had died.
As a matter of fact, I did want to use this!
Thanks, Fred - and Karen!
From
My Niece,

And surely there's a balance in there
to be found.... Thanks, Shari!

- "National Anthem by 7 year old":
Dear Carol and NNHS family,
Didn't you just love the way this small boy with the amazingly big voice kept
time to the music with his knees ? I had to laugh through my tears, brought on
by the beautiful voice from this tiny ray of sunshine, as he proudly sang our
National Anthem. I am sure his team won !
"Dimples' a.k.a. Sepi
Wasn't that adorable
as well as incredible and awesome?!?
Thanks,
Sepi!

Joan Lauterbach
Krause ('60) of VA - 09/15/07 - "True American":
It is time to change from
REDNECK
humor to
TRUE AMERICAN Humor!
Only it isn't seen as HUMOR, but
the correct way to
LIVE YOUR LIFE!
.....
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God"
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public
places.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You bow your head when someone prays.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National
Anthem.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You've never burned an American flag.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is
listening.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You'd give your last dollar to a friend
If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that you, like me, have
just
enough
TRUE AMERICAN
in you to have the same beliefs as those talked about in this email.
God Bless the
U S
A
! Amen
This is great,
Joan - thanks!

- "Safe Trip":
Carol,
Have a safe trip for a sad occasion, not for your
Aunt Beryl (Buckley White - John Marshall HS - '35) but for all of those
that will miss her. For every one involved may your grief be short and your
wonderful memories be healing and forever.
Love Sepi
Dear, Dear Sepi,
thank you so very much - for everything!
I do have many wonderful memories of her. She was such a grand inspiration
to me in so many ways. She a had a creative way of seeing things in a way
that few could equal. All my life, when I've had any thought of decorating
or gardening, I would think, "Now what would Beryl do?"
I loved her very much. And
I miss her.

WOWZERONI-RINI!!! These really are quite spectacular, F.A.!
For my purposes, I had to reduce them to a height of 800 pixels (larger than my usual 650 pixels for such images), and then compress them, but I saved them in the Mariners' Museum file, should anyone wish an original pristine version.
And of course I posted these on the Mariners' Museum page (all the way down at the bottom of the page):

- "Is my friend real ?":
Carol and NNHS
family... It's time I told you about my perfect friend, in the picture of me wearing the white fur coat. It was a question asked by ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, he's real, he's the real MAN-nequin in every woman's dreams. |

About 1981 | ||
Sepi and "Friend" |
He is attentive, has eyes only for you, does not blink or avert his eyes when you look longingly into his. He is a neat dresser, never complaining when you request he change his clothes, keeps his hair neatly in place at all times and never has a scratchy, whiskered face. His skin is smooth, his hand always ready for yours, no dirty nails or callouses and he will go wherever you take him, with no complaints ! He doesn't have bad breath, does not smoke or drink, and cannot 'bring himself 'to stay out late with the guys. He's never sick, doesn't complain about your cooking or lack of not cooking if you don't feel like it. He would never leave shoes, socks or underwear in a trail to his closet, and never, ever leaves wet towels on the bathroom floor or on the back of a chair. Nor does he leave hair in the sink or toothpaste spatter on the mirror on his side of the sink. He can remove his shoes and you don't have to move to the deck or make remarks about his "smelly" feet.
He ALWAYS leaves the toilet seat ready for you. So you never have to experience that middle of the night "splash-down" when you are half asleep and need to use the bathroom. There is nothing and I mean nothing quite like coming out of a half sleep with a scream when your tush hits cold water and you have to scream for help because you can't dislodge yourself from the position your find yourself in...and it's winter so the water has an immediate numbing affect on body parts that don't require numbing except when you give birth ! My MAN-nequin won't come to your aid and then stand there and laugh for five minutes at your precarious predicament while the numbing creeps through your body. You lose your temper along with a night's sleep, and still aren't in a pleasant mood when you arrive home after a day at the office where you find yourself nodding off at the worst of all times. This is one of the times you don't want to cook, just eat chocolate ice cream out of the container while you watch T.V. propped up in your bed.
You never get in you car, turn the radio on and experience temporary deafness because the soft music you expected has been replaced by a blaring football, baseball or basketball game. He puts the seat and rear-view mirror back where you left them so you are never late due to having to make unexpected adjustments. He never drinks directly from the milk or juice carton, even though you eat ice cream from the container and then put it back in the freezer. And he never, ever says anything about the two to five pounds you've gained because you eat ice cream and don't always have the time, desire or energy to exercise it off. If you ask him if he thinks your tush is getting too big, his response is always that sexy half-smile he forever has on his face.
Any color you wear makes you look beautiful to him You never have to leave the room because of the vulgar noises he makes, especially those that offend your senses. He's perfect, all right, a little too perfect in everything and everywhere except the bedroom and that's where you draw the line...you rip his clothes off, grab your oldest sheet out of the linen closet, drape it over his "perfect self" and put him in the furthest corner of the attic. You go down stairs, lunge at the phone and call your best friend. She's home..."Oh, Hi Amber, you know that new club you've been telling me about ? Well, get dressed...I'll meet you there in an hour....."
Then you wake up. He was, after all, a dream, and beside you IS the perfect man, snoring softly, dreaming of the perfect woman !
Thanks, Sepi, dear, you're
a hoot!
But really, that toilet seat bit is really such a non-issue. The toilet seat should always be kept CLOSED by everyone! Otherwise, not only will the pretty Martha Stewart seat cover not be visible, but those odious germs will be loosed upon the entire bathroom. EWWW!!! The only exception to this rule is when you're taking your shower. This is the perfect time to sprinkle the bowl with bowl cleaner to let it be cleaning (and simultaneously deodorizing your bathroom) while you bathe. Then you simply jump out, give it a swish with the toilet brush, and presto! You're all clean and so is the toilet!
And then CLOSE
THAT LID!!!

Off We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder
Off we go into the
wild blue yonder
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At'em boys, giv'er the gun!
Down we dive spouting our flames from under,
Off with one hell-uv-a roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame,
Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!
Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder
Sent it high into the blue
Hands of men blasted the world asunder,
How they live God only knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings ever to soar,
With scouts before and bombers galore,
Nothing can stop the US Air Force!
Here's a toast to the host of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send the message of his brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast the US Air Force.
Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true!
If you'd live to be a gray haired wonder,
Keep your nose out of the blue!
Flying men guarding our nation's borders,
We'll be there followed by more,
In echelon we carry on!
Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!
