Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I heard this
lovely old Nat King Cole classic on TV last night, and thought it'd be perfect
for today's Newsletter.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciS5GikZ5Jo - Pretend - Nat King Cole
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretend_%28song%29:
"Pretend" is a popular song, written in 1952 by Lew Douglas, Cliff Parman, and Frank Levere.
The best-known recording, by Nat King Cole was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 2346. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on January 31, 1953 and lasted 20 weeks on the chart, peaking at #3. [1]

From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 09/19/10 - "Senior citizens":
| Senior citizens are
constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the
modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all
we have done and do not blame others. HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took: The melody out of music, The pride out of appearance, The courtesy out of driving, The romance out of love, The commitment out of marriage, The responsibility out of parenthood, The togetherness out of the family, The learning out of education, The service out of patriotism, The Golden Rule from rulers, The nativity scene out of cities, The civility out of behavior, The refinement out of language, The dedication out of employment, The prudence out of spending, The ambition out of achievement, or, God out of government and school. And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!! And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country. Does anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner? Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!
Amen to that! Thanks,
Ruthie!

Thank you so very
much, Wayne Honey!
There is no way I would NOT
share this - for all the reasons you mentioned and then some!
From My Friend, Judy Bundy Bowermaster (Litchfield HS, IL - '59) of IL -
09/14/10 - "Pink Heart" (#4 in
a Series of 12):
Love the babies! Thanks! Give this heart to everyone you DON'T want to lose in 2010 including me.

"Be kinder than necessary because everyone |

The best vitamin for making friends...B 1. |

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you. Send it to some balloons that you think have flown away forever. You may be surprised to see it return. Send this heart to everybody you like.
Send this heart to everybody that has touched your life in a positive way. Thank you for being in my life!!!
Thanks so much, Judy!
From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) - 09/10/10 - "~Old Timers~ (#8 of 10)":

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
<instrumental interlude>
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
Thanks, Cheryl!
Thanks, Joyce!
