Hmmmm. I SEE it, but..... Grrrrrrrrrr............
From Me ('65) of NC to My # 5 Son, Nathaniel Harty (Hillsboro HS - '97, Hillsboro, IL) of IL - 09/20/05:
.....
I've had this for a week, and now it's time to put it in tomorrow's Newsletter,
and I can't even reach it. I don't
get along with those .png files very well. I can't seem to convert it or
even open it with PhotoShop - much less
worry about that big ol' white spot. Can you reach it, please?.....
From My # 5 Son, Nathaniel Harty (Hillsboro HS - '97, Hillsboro, IL) of IL - 09/20/05:
Here ya go. You can crop it how you want, but I fixed the white blotch.

Mmmm - beach..... ocean...... reminds me of Virginia...................
From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) - of MD - 09/15/05:
Carol,
Here is my
contribution to your upcoming Surfing newsletters. The Daily Press newsprint
(Circa ’60)
that these were copied from is SO old that it’s almost turned to parchment. I
photo’ed the picture and
the text separately in order to try and get the best definition I could and
maybe make it easier to paste
into your newsletter, but I don’t know if they are usable or not.

Thanks again, Chandler! We're really having fun with your contributions, and I certainly appreciate them!
From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) - of MD - 09/15/05:
Carol,
Glad you liked the short surf trunks. Hope you can use the picture/text.
Chandler Nelms
Oh, you're most welcome, Sir! No problem whatsoever! GIGGLES!!!

3.2 Beer .... Hobgood's
Market, Old Buckroe Road, March 1971 (yes ... do the math ...
I was only 16 :-)).
Sooooo ... it is official that those of the red and white persuasion are invited
to the
'65 Reunion???? May just have a pair of Crabbers then .... one from 67 and one
from 73.
Got some bussie stuff to send in a bit once I get a free minute ... and
some info on the
WGH fan club, circa 1958-59, will be coming this weekend.
Later ...
da babe
Hey, Tommee! And
Chandler (Nelms - Hampton HS - '63 - of MD) has his first answer - from one
Crabber
to another!
And yes, it's Most Officially
Official! I rather thought that would get your attention! See
you there - you owe
me a dance!
We'll be watching for your new old stuff. Thanks, Babe!
Speaking of which......

AHHHHH - Weird Al and the
E-Bay Song!!! How delightful! "I found it on eBay!" And I probably
did, too! I
bought postcards, and
brochures, and old newspapers, and cookbooks, and crochet books, and yarn, and
sweaters, and a white
quilted bedspread, and a stunningly beautiful white lace shower curtain, and an
old phone
similar to the one of my dreams to match my Jadite collection in my kitchen, and a
big batch of 50-year old B & W
photographs of Scotland, and an antique rhinestone brooch from England, and
bunches of vintage clip-back
earrings, and scrapbooking
supplies, and lace - lots and lots
of antique crocheted lace! YES!!!

And it was such fun, too! GIGGLES!
Thanks so much, Paul!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 09/20/05:
Joe, Joe, Joe. Have I ever
mentioned to you that I don't know Harry Covert?!? And that he is
not really on our
mailing list?!? And that he wouldn't know my so-called Southern Charm from
a bumble-bee?!?
You guys, I'm telling you.
Gary Fitzgerald ('61 - of VA) sends me federal judges to add to the
rolls, and you
send me 1200 or so other important people and tell me to not be intimidated.
One of these days you're going
to force me into growing up yet.
Okay, I'll try to pretend I'm not trembling in my boots, and pass this along to Harry.
Ahem.
Harry, Major Madagan has recommended your son for inclusion on our Famous Soldiers pages:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/famous-soldiers.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/famous-soldiers-G-L.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/famous-soldiers-M-R.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/famous-soldiers-S-Z.html
He definitely meets the
criteria, and there's a place for him
right between Julia Child and Joe DiMaggio. We
would be honored to place his name there alongside of the others who have served
our nation so well. We look
forward to hearing from you with his biographical date and an image or so of him
in uniform. Thank you so much!

Thanks, Cheryl - that's why mamas are here!
But, uh, I often don't get along
with .doc files all that well either.
Hmmm, perhaps I should take a class in inter-personal
relations. Naaaaahh.....
So I took the original back into
PhotoShop, doubled it's original size, and did not compress it. But
unless you're
holding your mouth just so, you'd never know all that. On my computer at
least, there was no discernable change.....
Sooooo we moved back to your Plan B.
I reposted all this on the News link:

And congratulations once again to all of you!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 09/20/05 - "Peninsula Boys Club":
Well, that will be most
excellent, Adonis! And the rules are always the same - the first come with
the answers
are first to win. There may be as many as three winners per contest,
depending on the situation.
But his one is still your puppy, so you still have to supply the prize! HA-HA-HA-HA!
What was it that Marine said
last year about "Webmistress" sounding kinda kinky?!? (I shoulda biffed
him a
good one....) Chip Clark ('65) of Northern VA originally gave
me that title (Hi, Chippy! I see you lurking out
there! GIGGLES!!! See you in October!). I liked it
so I kept it!
From Carol Moell Marcella ('56) of VA to Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 09/20/05:
Thanks, Carol - and Mickey - and Joe!

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 09/20/05 - "Lest We Forget...Famous Marine":
Where can I go from Thy Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Thy presence?
If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, Thou art there.
If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Thy hand will lead me,
And Thy right hand will lay hold of me.
Psalm 139:7-10
OUT of the DEPTHS
Dedicated to my shipmates, the crew of the USS
Indianapolis.
—Ed Harrell, USMC
On July 16, 1945, the USS Indianapolis
departed from San Francisco for the American B-29 base on Tinian
island with a top-secret cargo that would ultimately put an end to World War
II—components for the first
operational atomic bombs. After a record run, covering 5,300 miles in only
ten days, the Indianapolis
successfully delivered her cargo on July 26, 1945, and was ordered to set a
course from Guam to the Leyte
Gulf in the Philippines to prepare for the invasion of Japan. Traveling
unescorted, at fourteen minutes past
midnight on July 30, 1945, she was hit by two Japanese torpedoes midway
between Guam and Leyte,
sending her to a watery grave in twelve minutes. Of the 1,196 men aboard,
about 900 sailors and Marines
entered the water. Due to a series of Navy debacles, no one knew of their
plight. Five horrifying days later,
317 men who had survived the terror of shark attacks, hypothermia, severe
dehydration and salt-water
hallucinations, were accidentally spotted and rescued.
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
There's a sobering thought for us all. Thank you, Joe!
Y'all have a good day - and take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

Surf City
(Jan and Dean, 1963)
Two girls for every boy
I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we call it a woody
(Surf City, here we come)
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
(Surf City, here we come)
Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go
And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy
You see they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always somethin' goin'
(Surf City, here we come)
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
(Surf City, here we come)
Well, with two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy
And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
(Surf City, here we come)
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
(Surf City, here we come)
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl
And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every
Two girls for every boy
