09/23/07 - NNHS Newsletter - When Autumn Comes "The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many." - Oliver Wendell Holmes (29 Aug 1809 - 7 Oct 1894)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates, 

   I was never able to ascertain whether the words of Linda Eder's song below match the attached MIDI file, but I do know one thing for sure.  Today is indeed the first day of Autumn.

  From Dale Mueller ('64) of VA - 09/20/07 - "  Dale Lucado Golf Tournament ":

Carol, The tournament and lunch afterwards raised over $21,000 for Dale Lucado ('68 - of VA)  this year.  It was a great time and the weather was perfect.  Here is an attached pix of our golf team:  from L to R, John Scott, Bill Rash  ('67), Fred Anspach ('64), Dale Mueller ('64).  Thanks for all your work on the NNHS letter.

   WOWZERONI-RINI-ROONI!!! What fabulous news!

   I've posted the image you sent two different ways - one to show off the striking scenery, and one to spotlight the super guys!

   Thanks so much for letting us know, Dale!

From Karrin Williams Frankie (Warwick HS - '61) of VA - 09/20/07 - "Port Warwick Last Nite ~~ FOR LOCALS ONLY, OTHERS JUST DEST":

FROM DOUG

 WOW

          You Farmers, Tie-Foons, Krabbas and TJ'ers who didn't show missed a
             Wonderful nite of fellowship, good weather and a great band
       with  the best crowd we have ever had.
                  Sorry some of you missed it-maybe next time           
                       

  Thanks, Karrin! Let's all hope so!

  From Johnnie Bateman ('68) of VA - 09/22/07 - "Pictures ":

Carol,

Could you do anything with the pics I sent?

   Hi, Johnnie!  Yes, the pictures are great!  Unfortunately for me, they arrived the same day my last surviving aunt died.  

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-13-07-NNHS-Beryl-Buckley-White.html

   So after I left town for a while, and fell into a funk for a while, and our phone/internet kept going out - ARGHHH! - well, don't worry.  I'll get there.

   They're scheduled to be on one of the missing back issues, either the 09/14 or the 09/18.  If they won't fit there, that boosts them up to the next one in line.

   Sorry for the delay; images always take me quite a while to process.  For instance, just before the internet went out today (for the entire afternoon), I was just about to finish the missing 09/07 issue.  It's all done except for three yearbook scans, ten or so images of       David Whitley's ('67 - of VA) beautiful family, and    Chris Wilson Starkman's ('68 - of CA) sand sculpture picture de jour.  The rest is all done.  I figure those 14 photos should only take me - oh, three or four more hours.....

   Stay tuned.  I'll try to give you a heads-up in a separate note.

Carol,

I am very sorry to hear of your aunt’s passing.

   Thanks so much; I really appreciate that!

David Whitley, yes he is one fine person; he lives nearby here in the Glendale area but, he’s closer to    Sandi’s (Bateman Chestnut - '65 - of VA) house. I’m over in the older section.  You know, David has a daughter that I see every now and then up at Ace Hardware and she has a lot of his characteristics, which is cool.

I see David every now and then at Surry Power Station (we are in the same building).

http://www.dom.com/about/stations/nuclear/surry/index.jsp

Being Typhoons we look out for one another and outsiders just don’t seem to understand it, especially the Crabbers (except maybe   Tom Norris - Hampton HS - '73 - of VA). I think Tom missed the lobotomy class at HHS. ;o)

Anyway so much ranting for now.

Being one that never wanted to leave NNHS (21 when I graduated), I truly love what you are doing here.

May God bless you and be with you through your recent Aunt's passing.

Sincerely and Respectfully,
Johnnie Bateman

   Well, Johnnie, obviously I haven't finished the 09/14 issue even yet, and they didn't make it into the 09/18 or 09/19 edition, so that brings us to today, hmmm?  Yes, it does.

  From Johnnie Bateman ('68) of VA - 09/12/07 - "A coupla Typhoons '70 AND More 70's gang":

Carol, Jennie Easmeil Alexander and me this past Monday night at Cheers with other classmates of 1970. We met to discuss 2010 upcoming reunion plans...we discussed tentative plans to take a cruise. More pics coming of "The Monthly 70's Gang"; we are what's happening !!!

			Okay, Carol, here are two more pics of the 70's gang. Gang 1 is from rear to front: Pat ?, Carol Comer Cutler, and Barbara Carper. Gang 2 is from rear to front: Wanda Sheffield, Glenn Cox, and Brenda Price DePaula. Also attending were Betsy Turner Sauer and Bill Sauer.

   In anticipation of your reunion, I've begun a new file for y'all.  If you'll send me your class motto and flower and date of graduation (if I recall correctly, your class colors were red, white, and blue), I'll begin a reunion and graduation page for you, and these images will have a better permanent slot.

   Thanks, Johnnie! Tell that gorgeous David and Tom the Babe Hi for me.

   From  Linda May Bond Crayton ('66) of VA - 09/20/07 - "For those who weep":

My dearest Carol,

I am surprised that you have time to do "regular" letters at all with all you must endure with those of us who have passed away. It is hard for me to cope with the amount of lost friends under the age of sixty five. It all seems surreal and I am sorry you must deal with such sorrow  for us. Yet, without you, we would all be lost.  Do not worry about catching up, just continue on

Thank you for being our "angel" .

Linda May  ' 66

   Linda May, you are such a Sweetie-Pie!  Thank you so very much for your kind thoughts; they really cheered my soul!

      From one of my Famous Marines,  Herb Hice of MI, who served in the Pacific Theater during WWII -  09/21/07 - "Dear Carol, Love of God gets you over the top !!! ":

   WOWZERS!!! This is so cool! Thanks, Herbie Darlin'!!

    From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 09/22/07 - "Current Pic":

Hi,   I thought I would send a current picture for your files.  This is last year's school picture by Lifetouch.   Have a happy day.   Joan Lauterbach Krause OOOH, what a gorgeous picture!  And it looks great on the Alumni Page, too:

   Thanks, Joan!

   I'm proud of you, too, Lady - and thanks for your kind words!

    From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 09/22/07 - "in case you missed it":

ENJOY - I laughed until I cried.  Our school nurse sent it to me.  I double dare you to read it to the end.
Joan

"I really felt compelled to send this one in case you have missed, in the last few years, all the important information we receive from the internet.  This is it in a nutshell."

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.  Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking a man along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe!

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

Thank you too for all the endless advice Andy Rooney has given us. I can live a better life now because he's told us how to fix everything.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 I dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting
underneath my car to grab my leg.

Oh, and don't forget this one either!

I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 42,000 people in the next 42 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:42 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 42 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in- law's second husband's cousin's beautician...

Have a wonderful day...  AND

A scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain and sexual activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse. Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

   Thanks for this great joke, Joan!  I was talking to my sister,        Eleanor (Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of NC) , when it arrived, so I read it to her over the phone, and we both hurt ourselves laughing.

  From Joe Drewry ('58) of VA - 09/22/07 - "NNHS Class of 1958 Reunion Planning Meeting":

  Evelyn Fryer Fish ('58 - of TX) will be hosting a meeting to review plans for our  50-Year Reunion ("The Noble Gathering" ) while vacationing at the Canepa Buckroe Beach Cottage. It will be held at 6:30 pm, Monday evening, October 1st.  Note that is next week!

   Thanks, Joe - and Evelyn! I've added this to the "Dates to Remember" below.

      From one of my Famous Marines,  Herb Hice of MI, who served in the Pacific Theater during WWII -  09/23/07 - "Dear Carol, Happy Fall.... Already !!!":

Dear Carol,

You are a special Pumpkin in my patch. Fall is here already and I haven't even finished with Summer yet !  I hope you are in good health and enjoy our approaching Fall Season.

Your Friend, Herbie

From one pumpkin to another!!!!!!!         

		A woman was asked by a coworker,   "What is it like to be a Christian?" The coworker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin."   God picks you from the patch, brings you in,   and washes all the dirt off of you.   Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed.   Then He carves you a new smiling face   and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

This was passed on to me by another pumpkin.  
Now it's your turn to pass it to other pumpkins.

I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.
Me too! God Bless all the pumpkins in my patch!

   Thanks, Herbie Darlin'!

When Autumn Comes

(Linda Eder, 1997)


When autumn comes and leaves obey
I think of you when spring was new
And fall was miles away
And when I close my eyes I see you
And I don't feel the chill
When autumn comes...it's summer still

When autumn comes and wild geese fly
I wonder do you see them too
Across the restless sky
And does October catch you dreaming
Of Central Park in June
Or is love lost beneath the frost
Of autumn's moon Summers by the sea
When the sun would linger till the moon was high
Days of you and me
Underneath a sheltering sky
Did we move too fast for the glow of love to last

When autumn comes and summer goes
I will remember through November
What September knows
That nothing lasts forever and
Summer love moves on
So when the leaves begin to change
I find it sad but never strange
That you are all I can recall
When autumn comes
