Why, then, shouldst thou have mine?”

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!

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.


From Willard Weaver ('55) of VA - 09/22/08 - "Correction to NNHS'65 Webpage":

  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.

Willard Weaver
NNHS 1955

 
 

   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!


From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 09/22/08:

..... "People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel."

   So true! Thanks, Norris!


    From Frances Goodson Wang ('65) of MD - 09/22/08 - "Rain Gardens of West Michigan - Rain Garden History":

I recently discovered the idea of rain gardens.  I love Japanese rain chains, too.  Beauty and practicality.  Imagine that.

   WOWZERS!!! This is fascinating! Thanks, Frances, I love gardens!


  From My Cousin, Jim Atkinson (John Randolph Tucker HS - '77) of AZ - 09/23/08 - "Talk Like a Pirate Day...":

Look like one too...  Such are the colors and markings of VF-84 (now 101) at NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach.  This photo is from 1979 on the busy Oceana ramp when the squadron flew the F-14A Tomcat.  Very distinctive and easily recognizable from the beach as they thundered overhead.

   WOWZERONI!!! It's simultaneously gorgeous and fun - just like some people I know!

   
1979
 

   Thanks so much, Jim! It's great to hear from you! Give Jody and the boys my love!


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

 Oh My Goodness, what will they think of next! This needs to be passed on to all wives, sisters, daughters granddaughters, (and nowadays, sons!) and especially to those who do hair! We all have loved ones, THEY are are our  RESPONSIBILITY.
 
According to Snopes this one is true!  Yuck! 

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.
 

Do NOT put these things in your mouth while gathering up your hair.  SO DISGUSTING!!!! 
 

 ALSO FOR GRANDPARENTS GRANDCHILDREN!! THIS IS TRUE.

Be cautious of hair bands at open markets around the city too - they are probably from 
China as they are purchased in bulk very very cheap !!!!  
Take a good look before buying hair bands in future - especially like the following kind...
 

       
       

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!


  From Kathy Cooper ('70) of VA - 09/23/08 - "Death of   Alfred Lee Mays, Jr.":

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
