Carol, just want to say thanks for the nice article about my cousin.  Thanks to you, many of his friends will now know he has passed away.  Without this web site, very few would know since he did not live in Newport News.  You did a great job.

Thanks again,

Kathy

   It was my honor, Kathy!

    From Johnnie Bateman ('70) of VA - 09/26/08 - "Politics":

Carol,

As you know the first debate is tonight. I want to applaud you for keeping the political viewpoints, etc. off your page. I have seen some pretty bad stuff out there on both sides and have seen some pretty harsh e-mails etc. This is not the first election that has caused differences and won't be the last...

Just as we honor each others religious beliefs, we should honor each others political choices and discussions on these matters can get very personal.

Again feel free to publish, edit, or not publish as you feel. I just don't like seeing friends getting hurt over this...

Again, Thank You for keeping the political news out of the greatest web page of all times! NNHS65 !!!

Very Respectfully,
Johnnie

   Thank you for understanding  - and supporting - my position, Johnnie! While we're here to educate and entertain on a wide variety of subjects, politics doesn't seem to fit.  Besides, we'd soon have room for nothing else!

PRAYER ROLL:

   Hopefully, this will help address the problem in a number of ways. Just don't forget to click on it each time!

   Y'all take good care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER!  We'll Always Have Buckroe!

            Love to all, Carol

 Exodus

Music written for 1960 film "Exodus" by Ernest Gold, who won an Oscar for the score.
Words added in 1961 by Pat Boone as "This Land Is Mine."

 Various versions charted in 1961 by Ferrante and Teicher (#2);
Mantovani (#31); Eddie Harris (jazz rendition, #36);
Pat Boone (#64); and Edith Piaf (#116).


This land is mine,
God gave this land to me,
This brave and ancient land to me.
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plains,
Then I see a land where children can run free.

So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me.
Though I am just a man,
When you are by my side,
With the help of God, I know I can be strong.

This land is mine,
God gave this land to me,
This brave and ancient land to me.
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plains,
Then I see a land where children can run free.

So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this golden land with me.
Though I am just a man,
When you are by my side,
With the help of God, I know I can be strong.

To make this land our home.
If I must fight, I’ll fight to make this land our own
Until I die this land is mine!
