10/03/05 - NNHS Newsletter Happy Rosh Hashanah!
"May you be inscribed in the Book of Life!" |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
If you've just
joined us, I'll let you in on a little secret. When we first began, we
elected to observe and celebrate
nothing, so as not to offend anyone. This was not fun, pleasant, friendly,
or in the end, even non-offensive. So
now instead of observing
nothing and celebrating nothing
together, we try to observe and celebrate everything
together, because
that's what families do.
So - Happy Rosh Hashanah!
HISTORY LESSON:
Short Version: http://www.joi.org/celebrate/rosh/ :
"Rosh Hashanah
celebrates the creation of the world and is a time for reflection and self
evaluation. It is one
of the Jewish tradition's holiest days, the days when Jews most commonly attend
services at synagogue.
Rosh Hashanah begins this year (2005) on the evening of October 3rd."

By the way, I
have absolutely no idea whether this song is more appropriate to Hanukkah than
to Rosh Hashanah,
but after three hours of searching the web, I finally just picked the song which
most appealed to me. My apologies
for any blundering.....

From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA to Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 10/01/05:
"To David from Midnight the Cat – Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy."
OK, you started this:

WOWZERONI!!! WHO KNEW?!?
Thanks for the great fun, David!
From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 10/01/05:
If it’s not already
there, this deserves a spot on the NNHS nostalgia
page. I’d forgotten some many
of the little details about the Buster Brown Show, but I’ve always remembered
the Buster Brown
saying. When I get Alzheimer’s, I won’t recognize my wife or my children, but
I’ll be able to say
“I’m Buster Brown, I live in a shoe. This my dog Tige, he lives there, too.”
Well, Gentlemen, I'm certainly not going to argue with a Naval officer and
a Marine officer! Your wish is
my command!
I was hoping the inspiration
for exactly how to do this would come to me (as so many do) in the middle
of the night (one would think it would be a simple thing....), but it
seemed to be crowded out by other thoughts.
I am working on it, and hope to have it in place soon. But I'm
afraid once more I shall have to beg your
indulgence on a time extension.
I'm just trying to
imagine why it is that I've no memory whatsoever of the Buster Brown Show itself!
I clearly
remember the commercials. My daddy and
I had a very regimented television watching schedule on Saturday
mornings, right
through the noon hour. I don't remember the order, and of course it would
change every so
often, but we
watched Captain Midnight, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, Roy Rogers and Dale
Evans, Mighty
Mouse, Heckle
and Jeckle, Sky King,
and ended with Circus World. Perhaps we were watching another channel.....
We were visiting with my
sister, Eleanor (Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of NC) yesterday, and I asked
"The
Woman with No Memory" about Buster Brown, and without hesitation, she broke into
the jingle. You obviously
have something there, Chandler!
From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 10/01/05:
Does anyone know anything about Alice Reese? We
were friends in 7th grade when we both attended
Wilson School. I do not think she went
to NNHS. They lived out on Chesapeake Avenue and
she had
several brothers. Anyone know?
Thanks, Jean. I personally do not know.
"Anyone? Anyone?"
Speaking of the Wilson crowd,
I've always wanted to know whatever happened to a gal who came to NNHS
for the eighth grade with us, and then disappeared. I never knew whether
she moved or dropped out or what.
She was a cute-as-a-button redhead named Sharon Branam.
From
Susie Overton Jones ('63) of VA for Gloria
Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 10/01/05:
Gloria,
Brian Cole is still a personal trainer, and is located in Newport News at
Port Warwick. Ricky Barrett
passed away probably 15 or 20 years ago. I am not sure where Robert is
located now. Also, another
real good friend of mine from HHS, Scott Jones also has passed away. Any
of you HHS folks
remember him?
Susie Overton Jones
Class of 1963 - NNHS
Thanks for the update, Susie. We'll find out!
See you soon, yes???
From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 10/01/05:
Carol, Darling,
PLEASE get better. We all need you. What would our day be without our daily dose
(see, we need medicine, too) of the
Newsletter.
Gloria – Yes,
Robert (aka Edwin, aka Bob, Darden and I call him
Robwin) is retired from the AF
and lives in Shalimar, FL (aka southern Alabama).
Chandler Nelms
"Yes, Sir," she
said, swooning! "Whatever you say, Sir!"
Thanks, Chandler Darlin', I'll try to do just that!
Give your brothers some good ol' Typhoon Regards for us!
From Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 10/01/05 - "You give us fever"
I wish I could take that
old fever from you! I know we all love what you are doing for us, but ( p l e
a s e )
take care of yourself. You really do brighten our days; You give us fever!!!
Thanks, Sweetie! The fever
itself seems to be gone now. I'll see what I can do about the rest of it.
And y'all
brighten my days more than I could ever tell you!
From Jimmy Hines ('64) of Northern VA - 10/01/05:

From Glenda Stewart Martin Faires ('68) of GA - 10/02/05:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html
Thank you, Carol, again for all your hard work.
EVERYONE waits in anticipation for each new
newsletter!!! You are so good at
what you do and I know everyone truly appreciates all of your
hard work. I really enjoy the classy and funny way you always make each one a
little different.
Thanks again, Glenda! That
really means a great deal to me!
YE-HAA!!! Now that's more like
it! I just added your good intentions to the attending page, and we'll
confirm you in all good time!
Well, I certainly can't argue with
you there, Glenda - except perhaps for the deserving part. And I'm
really looking
forward to seeing you and Sarah again soon!
From Tom Norris (Hampton HS - '73) of VA - 10/02/05:
Hi Carol ...
To
Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65 - of FL) ... the variety
store in Southampton Shopping
Center that was owned by Dale Lively was Hobbyland. They also had a
slot car track in Fordham
Shopping Center called Lively Raceway. David Lively (HHS-65)
and Danny Lively (HHS-67) were
his sons. I spent many a day at both locations. I grew up at the other end of
Ivy Home
Road from you ... we were almost neighbors :-).
Carol ... I like the color and font thing .... now to find some little crab
icons ... LOL.
Thanks, Babe. A
crab, huh? You mean like this one I found on your
Crabbaganza web page???
But, Tommee, he's so.... so.... RED
and CRABBY!!!
Still, he may come in handy.
I wonder if I could find a little farmer
,
and a little justice
,
and a little -
hey, what were those Ferguson people called??? Were they Mariners, or did
I imagine that?
From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 10/02/05:
OOOH - thanks, Gloria! We're getting there!
I'd ask
my mama,
too - I know she'd remember, because she was great at recalling such details -
but she
seems to be unavailable for comment.....
From
Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 10/02/05:
Yeah, well, actually, I'm scheduling some tests for today or tomorrow....... But thanks!
You're
in for a treat. Not only do I know Bill Bradshaw (Hampton HS - '65),
but he sat at my table at the reunion
in July. As you can see, his hair is a lot thinner, but he's still very
handsome and ohhh, sooo sweet. He and his wife,
Debbie, live in Carrollton, he has one son, 21. He's a business
owner/facility manager of Advanced Technologies,
Inc., and plans on retiring in 2008. He docked his really big boat at the
Radisson, downtown Hampton. I visited
with them on it before they left.......and it's not a good trait, but I admit
to being a little envious.

Oh, WOWZERONI, Gloria!
That IS a treat! Thanks so much! |

Favor to Ask
It
only takes a minute...

Please ask ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having
trouble getting enough
people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one
free mammogram
a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their
site and click
on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate
sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily
visits to donate mammogram
in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/
AGAIN
,
PLEASE ASK 10 FRIENDS TO TELL 10 TODAY
Thanks, Renee! This is
a wonderfully simply thing, and as with so many wonderfully simple things, we
need
to be reminded frequently.
From Pauline Collins Shofner ('65) of VA - 10/03/05:
Carol,
I didn’t realize that your dad
was a physician (at the Virginia Penitentiary). I think that Jim Dick’s ('65
- of FL)
father was a physician there also. If I can remember, I’ll bring some great
photos to the reunion. I showed them
to Dave Arnold ('65 of VA) and he thought they were great. There were
several articles and poems written
about my grandfather by the prisoners. He was well liked by them…I guess that
was a good thing.
Hope that you are feeling better.
Pauline
Oh, yes ma'am - that is decidedly a good thing! GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Pauline - I'm really looking forward to seeing you again!
I may have to take some of that time off y'all keep talking about; we shall see.
Meanwhile, y'all have a good day - and take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol
