Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This is the "new and improved" version of the theme we first used exactly four years ago today:

HEALTH UPDATE and PRAYER REQUEST:
From My Friend, Judy Bundy Bowermaster (Litchfield HS, IL - '59) of IL -
10/06/09, 8:13 AM - "wrist":
Hi all,
Saw the therapist Monday and told her I wasn't coming back. I don't like her much anyway. She was more interested in what she did last weekend and what she was going to do next weekend than in what was going on with my hand! I have ALL the range of motion back and the wrist is healed. I don't have all the strength back yet but an hour 3 times a week isn't going to get it back any faster. Now it's all on me to do that. I can crochet again; in fact, a did a baby afghan for Savannah (Erin's baby) over the week end. 3 skeins of yarn. Yea for me. I can finally sweep the kitchen floor again and push the vacuum, so I think I'm doing well. Oh, and I made new curtains for the kitchen and hung the small window myself. Had to have help getting the big one up, but it's done. Next on the list is driving again. Since it rained today I think I'm NOT trying it today but look out when it dries up.
Thanks for all your prayers and support.
Judy
COOL
BEANS!
You rock, Judy! Thanks for the update!

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 10/06/09, 1:15 PM - "Urgent prayer request":
I don't know this person, but she
needs prayer immediately. Please pass on to all you can.
Thank you.
This is a prayer chain for my
mother Deb Tyler. She is in Toledo Hospital in very critical condition and they
don't know what's wrong with her or what is causing this! So my family and I are
asking you to send this to every one in your contacts. PLEASE PRAY F0R HER T0
GET BETTER AND F0R THEM TO FIND 0UT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS! If you have a heart
you will pass this on!
THANK Y0U.
Erica Tyler
YIKESARONI!
That we will do! Thanks, Shari!

The Queen of the Class of 1964, Judy Mawyer of NC - 10/05/09 - "mailing list":
Hey Carol:
I have been just fascinated by your website!
I am Judy Mawyer, Class of '64, and would like to be added to your mailing list. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend our class reunion and will miss seeing everyone.
I have just read the "In
Memoriam" page (for the Class of 1964) and am so saddened by our
losses. I was raised in the Briarfield section of Newport News and can remember
going home with
Becky May
after school and playing. She was such a sweet, sweet person. And
Edna
Johnson (Matthews),
Kathy
Agee (Glenny), wonderful
Melba
(Dees Wood Graveley). I remember crying on
Gerald Wright's shoulder with boyfriend problems and dating
Darrell Boland. And so many more from our
class.. it's all so sad and such a loss.
I live in the small community of Henrico on Lake Gaston in North Carolina (the Virginia line is just around the corner).
Keep up the good work.
Judy
Welcome aboard, Judy!
I've
added your name to my mailing list, and to these pages for your class:

that I won't be able to attend your Reunion!
It's sure to be
fabulous!
My heart always goes out to those who first encounter all those In Memoriam pages and learn how many of their schoolmates have passed on; I always recommend that you not try to read all 18 pages on the same day:

THREE MORE DAYS:
Friday and Saturday, October 9 and 10, 2009 - The Class of 1964 will hold its 45-Year Reunion - http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2009-64.html
See who you'll see - http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2009-64-ATTENDING.html
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL -
10/05/08 - "Racing on I-64":
Hi, Carol:
Is it possible that
GIGGLES!
Perhaps he was saving that story for a future time, Adonis!
BOY HOWDY!
And
there's even more to come tomorrow!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/SITE-MAP.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/NN-WWII-POW-CAMPS.html Thanks for running the "Train" theme again. It always reminds me of the Powhatan Arrow that arrived in Newport News at the terminal next to the C & O Piers with all the familiar sounds of a steam engine. She was a beauty as she rolled onto the pier at the station, adjacent to the Steamer berth behind the train station. What a transportation system we had back which was capable of providing daydreaming youths with dreams of being a railroad engineer or steamship captain. Now the rails are quiet, and steamship berths empty, and a restaurant that occupied the train station after it stopped operating has closed.
That was my pleasure, Major Madagan; I DO so love trains!
Our NNHS / Staunton Military Academy graduate that went on to be awarded the Bronze Star for combat heroism during the Korean War is too reluctant to allow me to tell his story. My plans to nominate him for the Famous Marine page have been dashed by his modesty. Anyone who has read Gene Kranz book "Failure is Not An Option" will know the identify of this Marine "Mustang" Captain. He is still one colorful Marine Veteran. TYPHOON Regards, |
I'm very sorry to hear this! I've frequently had difficulty convincing people to let me add them (or their relatives) to all of those Famous Military pages. I think it's because they are confusing "Famous" with "Noteworthy", and their innate humility restrains them. Perhaps if you share with him the intent of those pages, you may be able to convince him to change his mind yet. The very fact that he attended NNHS and wore the uniform more than qualifies him to be listed thereon:
This list is comprised of
people whose main fame comes from their life OUTSIDE their military service,
and
should not be confused with "Noteworthy Marines", although the two are not
mutually exclusive.
Thanks again, Joe!

From Ivan Anker ('67) of VA - "God Created Virginia":
God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day..
He inquired, "Where have you been?"
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look,
Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, and I've put life on it.. I'm going to call it
Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused."
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, northern
Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is
going to be poor. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over
there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things."
God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot,
while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said,
"What's that one?"
"That's the Commonwealth of Virginia , the most glorious place on earth. There
are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains.
The people from the Commonwealth of Virginia are going to be handsome, modest,
intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be
extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and
producers of good things."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about
balance, God? You said there would be balance..."
God smiled, "Right next to Virginia is Washington DC. Wait till you see the
idiots I put there."
"To be a Virginian, either by birth, marriage, adoption, or even on one's mother's side, is an introduction to any state in the Union, a passport to any foreign country, and a benediction from the Almighty God."

Jokes - 10/05/09:
Good Treatment
Bob went over to his friend Joe's house and was amazed at how well Joe treated
his wife. He often told her how attractive she was, complimented her on her
cooking and showered her with hugs and kisses.
"Gee," Bob remarked later, "you really make a big fuss over your wife."
"I started to appreciate her more about six months ago," Joe said. "It has
revived our marriage and we couldn't be happier."
Inspired, Bob hurried home, hugged his wife and told her how much he loved her
and said he wanted to hear all about her day. But she burst into tears. "Honey,"
Bob said, "what's the matter?"
"This has been the worst day," she replied. "This morning Billy fell off his
bike and broke his ankle, then the washing machine broke. Now to top it off, you
come home drunk!"
*************
Pregnant
Seven months pregnant, my hand on my aching back, I stood in line at the post
office for what seemed an eternity.
"Honey," said a woman behind me, "I had back pain during my pregnancy. I was
bedridden for four months because my baby was sitting on a nerve."
Then the man in front of me piped up....
"You'd better get used to it now. Once those kids get on your nerves, they can
stay there till they're 18."

I'll Still Be Loving You
(Restless Heart)
Changing my life with your love has been so easy for you.
And I'm amazed every day and I'll need you
Till all the mountains are valleys
And every ocean is dry, my love...
CHORUS:
I'll be yours until the sun doesn't shine
Till time stands still, until the winds don't blow.
When today is just a mem'ry to me, I know
I'll still be lovin', I'll still be lovin' you.
I'll still be lovin' you
Never before did I know how loving someone could be
Now I can see you and me for a lifetime
Until the last moon is rising
You'll see the love in my eyes, my love...
CHORUS
I'll still be lovin',
I'll still be lovin',
I'll still be lovin' you.
