George Borrow |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's Newsletter is being revisited from exactly five years ago today:
http://nnhs65.com/10-04-05-NNHS-One-Fine-Day.html
I was looking for an old Newsletter to reuse primarily because I'm still rushing with preparations for my trip (and "reruns" are an amazing time saver), but I was astonished to read what it included - some of which I'll repeat here today.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8LmTaVrPl8 - One Fine Day - The Chiffons
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Fine_Day_%28song%29:
"One Fine Day" is a popular song by songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King which was a hit in the summer of 1963 for girl group The Chiffons and has subsequently been covered by numerous artists.
Goffin and King were inspired by the title of the aria Un bel di from the Puccini opera Madama Butterfly. Intended for Little Eva, "One Fine Day" was prepped as a demo by Goffin and King with King providing a guide vocal but - despite a propulsive piano riff courtesy of King - Goffin and King were unable to construct a viable arrangement and eventually gave up, passing the song to the Tokens who had recently produced the #1 hit "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons for whom it was thought another "fine" song had hit potential. The piano work by King (whose vocal was erased) was retained for the Chiffons' recording and King attended the session at which the Chiffons recorded their vocals. However the Tokens radically re-worked the Goffin/King demo of "One Fine Day" for the Chiffons' version; Gerry Goffin would comment that the Tokens "really earned their production credit".[1]
"One Fine Day" by the Chiffons reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100: its R&B chart peak was #6. The single was an international hit charting in the UK (#29),[2] France (#18),[3] and New Zealand (#6).[4]

If you don't know what I'm going to say next, you don't know me very well. Last year (2004) just
before the reunion, I tried to be subtle and sensitive and allude to this as
gently as possible. Have you not
noticed how very quickly one of us can be gone? If you're thinking of
waiting until "next time" to see If you can't
attend, you can't attend, and that's that. But if you're vacillating about
whether or not to come, if you're As I can't find
the exact quotation, I cannot find the exact date, but I believe it was about
sixty-five years ago when While I
wholeheartedly agree with that, I would extend it to read, "The next greatest
forces of evil are those And let me also
remind you what
I might get off this soapbox soon - but don't count on it. "I excuse not myself." |

Sunday":
| Thanks, Carol, for the
butterflies on my birthday. I love butterflies. ! ! !
I remember Mrs. Ransome, too, but
cannot remember her first name. Sorry. I think I left
Magruder in the
5th grade to transfer to
Walter Reed. Wow,
that was 100 years ago. Have a great week. See you soon. I'm so
excited about seeing you again - but it's only really been
forty-eleven years!

- 10/02/10, 6:47 PM - "RE: Mrs. Ransome":
|
Hi, Carol, thanks so much for
spreading the word about finding Mrs. Ransome's first name, because
Margaret it sure was. I hope I didn't miss out any email thankyous
to those who helped, both on and offline, including your good self,
because I was about to the point where it was keeping me up nights.
It was really good of everyone to take the time and trouble, and
about as fast as Google, too, which was really impressive!
Thanks for the good wishes, too. It does keep me out of trouble in retirement! All the best, Carla
Thank you,
Carla!

From Mike Leonard ('68) of VA
- 10/03/10 - "Margaret Ransome":
| Carol, Concerning the matter of Margaret Ransome, checking my 1945-1946 peninsula phone directory, it lists a J Thomas Ransome at 934 Mason in Hampton. The only other Ransome in the book is W.O. Ransome at 421 Hampton Roads Avenue. My June 1955 directory only lists J Thomas Ransome at 934 Mason in Hampton. There are no other Ransome's in the book. However, this one lists a John Taylor Ransone, physician, office at 2904 West Avenue and his residence at 4 Chisman Road in Hampton. My June 1956 is the same as the 1955 except it lists John Taylor Ransone, physician, residence at 4 Barron Drive in Hampton. There are a few listings in the 1955 & 1956 directory that spells the name Ransom without the E, so could that be a possibility? There are no listings, in any of my phone books, for a Dr. John T. Ransome at 306 Hampton Roads Avenue. Now, if you can sort all this out, hopefully it will be helpful to one of your readers. Mike Leonard "68"
OH, WOW!
Thanks so much, Mike!

From Jane Chambers of VA - 10/03/10 - "Jane's back home":

I'm back from my visit
with relatives in NC & SC. Had a wonderful time, which included a
2nd birthday cake (3 of us had mid-late Sept. birthdays, so had a
shared cake), a visit to an Antebellum family home outside
Morganton, NC ("Swan Ponds," built in 1843), & another visit (rainy,
alas) with relatives in SC. Spent time with at least 25 relatives of
all ages and ate plenty of NC-style BBQ.
Jane
SUPER-DE-DUPER!
Thanks, Jane - and welcome home!
Wait a minute - "3 of us had mid-late Sept. birthdays"?!? WE don't have your birthday recorded anywhere in September!!! http://www.nnhs65.com/Happy-Birthday.html When might that be? How are we gonna annoy - oh, I mean - help celebrate with you if we don't know when it is?!? |

Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan and didn't I marry ye and yer husband two years ago?" "Aye, that ye did, Father," she replied. "And have ye any wee little ones yet?" the priest asked. "No, not yet, Father," she replied. "Well now," the priest said: "I'm going to Rome next week and I'll light a candle for ye and yer husband." "Oh, thank ye, Father," she said and they parted ways. Several years later, they met again. The Father asked: "Well now, Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?" "Oh, very well, Father!" she replied enthusiastically. "And tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?" the priest asked. "Oh, yes, Father!" she replied: "Three sets of twins and four singles -- 10 in all!" "That's wonderful!" he said: "And how is yer loving husband doing?" "Not so well," Mrs. Donovan responded: "He's gone to Rome to blow out yer candle!" _+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_ Unexpected guests were on the way, and my mother, an impeccable housekeeper, rushed around straightening up. She put my father and brother to work cleaning the guest bathroom. Later, when she went to inspect it, she was surprised that the once-cluttered room had been tidied up so quickly. Then she saw the note on the closed shower curtains. It read, "Thank you for not looking in the bathtub." _+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

I love it when God blesses us
with bright, shining opportunities to help others. God always uses
these opportunities to help us become better people as well.
Sometimes, however, these opportunities come with difficulties. And
they are the ones that challenge us the most.

| Okay, so I got a little carried away..... By the way, the crocheted bodice, socks, and booties were basically designed by Carol Carlile, the crocheted bonnet was designed by Sandy Abbate (I added the seven ribbon roses to match the rest of the ensemble), and the very long skirt appeared to me in a dream, so I suppose you could say I designed that part myself. |

One fine day
You'll look at me
And you will know our love was
Meant to be
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for
Will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me
By your side
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the
Kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting and
Someday darling
You'll come to me when you want to settle down oh
One fine day
We'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love you
Threw away before
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
One fine day
We'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love you
Threw away before
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
