I know that
Evelyn's Party is Saturday, but we hope
you can squeeze us in also. Let me know. I do hope that you are feeling
better.
Elizabeth
Thank you so
much, Elizabeth!
I am planning to feel just fine
and dandy by then! And being the Super Brat that I am, I tend to get my own way
in such matters!
But of course,
I'm not altogether certain that I can convince the other two people in the car
of this plan. I still have a day or two to twist their pretty arms.....
I'll let you know as soon as I'm able!
From Elizabeth Tedder Nunnally ('68) of VA - 09/22/08 - "Deaths for Class of 1968":

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/memoriam-all.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/memoriam68.html
I'll try to scan their junior portraits as soon as I'm able, and perhaps a few random school activities which I might be able to gather. I'll have an even better shot in the next couple of days of running their names through the SSDI for birth and death dates, and perhaps even locating some obituaries.

Hi,
I'm on the reunion planning committee for NNHS55. We noticed an error on your web site. Our monthly luncheon is now held at Steve & John's Steak House on Jefferson Avenue just above Denbigh Boulevard. Thanks for correcting this discrepancy. I think your web site is wonderful. Keep
up the good work. |

Thank you so much
for this important correction, Willard.
I took care of it right away! I'm
glad to hear you're enjoying the site, and I wish you continued success with
your monthly luncheons!

So true! Thanks,

From My Friend, Judy, of IL - 09/23/08 - "Hair Bands ~ Scary! (to all with daughters and granddaughters, and sons with long hair)":
O M G!!!!!!! How gross can they get? I try my best to NOT buy ANYTHING made in China! If it says China on the label it goes back on the shelf. I checked it out at snopes.com and they say it's true.:
http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/hairband.asp
Status: True
When are we Americans
going to get fed up ? We should be writing our Senators and Congressmen
insisting that manufacturing plants be brought back to America.
These Hair bands were made from used condoms and threads. That was so disgusting, I would not want to use them!!
BEIJING (AFP)
- Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening
to spread sexually-transmittable
diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday.
In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made
products, rubber hair bands have been found in
local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern
Guangdong province, China Daily
newspaper said.
'These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well
..... threatening the health of local people,' it
said. Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and
viruses, it said.
'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other
diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving
their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave
only his surname, Dong, as saying. A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for
just 25 sen (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting
for their popularity, the paper said.
A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was
illegal. China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year
by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both
domestic and foreign markets.
In response,
it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to
strengthen monitoring
systems. Check your
kids' hair bands and make sure they do not put them in their mouth while trying
to plait or tie their hair.
EWWWW!!!
Thank you so much, Judy!

Careless Hands
Music and lyrics by Bob Hilliard and Carl Sigman, 1949
(Mel Torme)
I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
I brought you joy
And girl I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change
Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
That can't hold onto love
<instrumental>
I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
I brought you joy
And dear I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change
Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
That can't hold onto love
Careless hands that can't hold onto love
Talking 'bout those hands
That can't hold onto love
Talking 'bout those hands
That can't hold onto love
"Careless
Hands"
