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 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).

   "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"

   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:

   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:

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

From Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA - 10/02/05:

Favor to Ask

It only takes a minute...

* Y * 6 * Y

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
