Thanks, Donna!

It is still in operation. I will capture an image soon.
Thanks, Dave!
From Tom Norris (Hampton HS - '73) of VA - 10/06/05:
Carol ...
Smitty's is still in business on North King Street .... since '56! I'll
get some pics with the Vette there
soon!
Thanks, Babe!
From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 10/06/05:
Oh, yes, Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63
- of MD), Smitty's Better Burger is still on King Street. It is a
MUST visit for me when I'm in Hampton. The women don't wear roller skates, but
the food is still good!
GLORIA WOOLARD PRICE (HHS '65)
Thanks, Gloria!
From Kathy Pilgrim Clark ('63) of VA - 10/06/05:
Yes, Smitty's
is still open. Before I changed my diet in April, I was eating there often. Now
I take 2 slices
of my whole wheat bread there and they put their marvelous chicken salad on it.
And I pay for it! But I can't
go too often. Mrs. Smith died about 2 years ago. The Smith's son Ron
is an attorney in Hampton but he also
owns 2 restaurants called County Grill and Smokehouse. He has smoked
meats, 6 home made BBQ sauces
(ranging from a wonderful vinegary NC sauce to a tomato-based KC version with
TN, Lexington, KY and a
couple of others in between) in a beer carton caddy on the table with southern
style 'fixins'. One is in York
County and the other is located at the old Eli's
on Mercury in Hampton.
Thanks, Kathy!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 10/06/05:
Thanks, Joe!
All right, already - UNCLE!!!

I thought that
even though the page had not yet been created, that images may have been
preserved in my files.
If so, they're doing a pretty good job of hiding! But we have two promises
of photographs to come. Thank you,
Gentlemen!
From Tom Norris (Hampton HS - '73) of VA - 10/06/05:
Carol ...
thanks for the special
edition about Barbara (Nunnally Turner - HHS - '65).
David Whitley
('67 - of VA) and I were pallbearers at the funeral. The service was very
moving and very well conducted.
Yes, of course. Sandi (Bateman Chestnut - '65 - of VA) had told me
that you two would be serving as pallbearers.
Now .. even in the midst of that solemn time .... leave it to David to somehow
find joy and humor in the midst
of a tragic situation to lighten our spirits. As we were talking to one of the
attendants from the funeral home,
he mentioned that he actually taught David in high school, which of course led
David and me into a 'spirited'
NNHS-HHS banter.
David is a very remarkable man, and his gift of humor has brought comfort to a great many, I am sure.
I'm suddenly
reminded of my own father's funeral. As you once pointed out to me, you
and I were exactly the same
age - twelve years and eight months - when our fathers died. I was
extremely close to my daddy, and had no idea
how I was going to be able to withstand the pain of that awful day. My
cousin, Clarke Booth - who, because he so
loved my father, had hitchhiked to Newport News from Lexington where he was a
VMI cadet - gathered us younger
ones (Cheryl and Jean included) around himself like a pied piper
and somehow made us forget and even laugh
for a few hours. I had always loved him before. From that moment on,
I adored him.

David Whitley is such a man as that. I feel honored to call him my friend. |

The teacher's name is
Pete Farmer ... who is heavily involved with me on Relay For Life in Isle
Of Wight
County! Small world indeed.
WOWZERS!
Some more surrealism from today ... that pretty red Corvette was bought from
Barbara and her husband just
two months ago! The hearse followed me in the procession ... and in a way she
got to ride in it one last time.
By the way ... I got vanity plates for the Vette ...2 CRABRS .... for Janice
and me. It will be in the parking
lot at the reunion! Please don't fill it with returned crab shells or paint it
blue and gold :-).
Later ...
Tom
All of life is becoming surreal. That is a classic example. Thanks for sharing it with us, Tommee!
We promise not to desecrate your pretty red Corvette! See you soon!
From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 10/06/05:
I'm
glad I'm not the only one who does NOT remember Andy's Gang, Froggy, Squeaky,
and Midnight. I have
absolutely no recollection of this show on TV........how is that possible,
since I have loved watching TV since it was
invented. :) Besides all the cartoons, there were the Little Rascals
(Our Gang), Howdy Doody, Captain Kangaroo,
Ding-Dong School, Romper Room, and those are just the ones off the top of my
head.
Isn't that just bizarre?!? There were only three channels back then!
You and I must have been watching the same
one! I wish I could locate a TV listing guide for a Saturday morning in
the fifties!
Hope the blood tests are positive.....or is that negative? Whichever one that means you're HEALTHY!!!
GLORIA WOOLARD PRICE (HHS '65)
GIGGLES!!! Thanks so much, Gloria! I appreciate that.
From Al Simms ('60) of VA - 10/06/07:
Hi, Al!
I've noticed that phenomenon myself. The older I grow, the younger all
those teachers of yore seem
to become! GIGGLES!!!
I spotted your
note on one of those "quick checks" I was running long after "my turn" was over,
so I sent it off
to the Magic Man himself, Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA, who seems to be able
to find anything and anyone.
Nevertheless, his speed astonished even I who am so accustomed to it.
You are totally
amazing, David! It later occurred to me that that break in time must have
occurred when Miss
Free was working on her master's degree at the University of Michigan.
Of course, it's way past time that the wonderfully dedicated Miss Free had her own page:

Kat
Thanks, Kathy!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 10/06/05:
In the words of that great philosopher, Shreck, "Like that'll ever happen!"
When you get to the reunion, DANCE!!!
Oh, yes, SIR! By all means! I do intend to dance, I do indeed!!!
Thanks, Joe!
From Kathy Pilgrim Clark ('63) of VA - 10/06/05 - "Reunion":
Now I've got to get back to my Braves who are 5-1 over the Astros with Clemens pitching for them!!
