Dear Friends and
Schoolmates,
Today's federal
holiday is brought to you by the United States Navy. Oh, of course, there was
something or other about a certain
Genoese
explorer,
and for you Canadians out there, it's also
Thanksgiving Day, but largely it's all about the Navy.
Hug a sailor today. Or salute one. Well,
okay, just thank one for their services rendered. I still would personally
prefer the hugging option.
I've assembled four truly special videos for you
- a birthday gift, as it were:

WOWZERONI!
I read this fascinating account three times! Thanks again so very much for
sharing it with us, Bill!

From Debby
Braswell Miller ('67) of VA - 10/12/14 - "
Brenda
Clarke - 
'65 Band Sweetheart":
| Hi, Carol,
... I have been looking for
Brenda Clarke and I know her married name is or was Hudson. I think her
husband is or was
Judson Hudson (Hampton HS). I
did not know if you knew where she is now. I know you guys have a
reunion coming up but I am not sure who is in charge or who is on the
committee. My sister Becky graduated with you.
I love what you have done
with the NNHS 65 letters with
the obits of classmates and their family members. I just saw that
Carolyn Webb's ('65) husband
( 
Bubba Goss, Hampton HS Class
of @ 1961) had
passed away. I live here in town but I did not see it. Thanks for
everything you do.
Debby Braswell Miller
Thank you so much, Debby!
I have no knowledge of
Brenda's whereabouts. I did a few
quick searches for both her and Judson back in February, and found a couple of surprising
leads. Whitepages.com listed a
Judson B. Hudson in our age range living in Hampton:
http://www.whitepages.com/name/Judson-B-Hudson/Hampton-VA/2q21401
The really curious part is
they mentioned as one of the "People Judson may know"
 
Virginia
B. Cash, our former school secretary. Her
Memorial Newsletter
in turn states:
"We
would like to thank Jud and Mary Hudson of Hampton for their special
loving care to my mother."
Try
giving Judson a call!

From
Kitty Dichtel Heffington (Ferguson HS - '73) of VA -
10/11/14, 9:29 and 10:32 PM - "Hey to all and thank you!!":
Carol...
I am sending some of the newsletter
and web information on your website to some
other Ferguson '73 alums. We are in the midst of starting to plan a mini
get together (not an official reunion)... We figure that none of us is
getting younger and two of us have had lots of health issues so this
might be a good time... We ALL four got together for the first time
since we all graduated at Todd Stadium in June 1973... Boy has a lot
happened in those 41 years!!!
Your site continues to be great. I have told people from all over to go
to the NNHS 65 website... You are truly a
blessing to not only this community, but to all of us who have had or
continue to have roots to the entire community.
Thank you so much for listing the Beth Moore and Rosemary Trible Woman's
Conference that was held at my husband
Terry's (Warwick class of '66) and
my forever and meeting place church, Temple Baptist, on Harpersville
Road. John ('62) and Gwen Holland said that they saw it.
Between your putting it in your newsletter, and having a contact that
put it on the sign at Towne Bank on Warwick Boulevard, and all of us on
the committee putting up fliers all over the area and our pastor and
several of us sending emails and letters all over, the conference was a
TREMENDOUS success. On behalf of all of us at Temple Baptist who were on
the committee, we thank you. Although I don't think any of us have
actually sat down and broken down our members vs. the rest if the world,
I would guess that it was maybe 30/70 or 35/65 members to non members
from all over the area including Suffolk, the Eastern Shore,
Williamsburg, Hampton, Yorktown and all over the area... Again, I am
sure that your website helped, as did the help from Towne Bank.
Danis... Can you please send this to
Fred Mays ('60)... Fred has a tremendous
amount of NN memorabilia.. And for those if you who don't know him.. He
now works at Peninsula Funeral Home... We see him a lot.
And for some of you with the USSNN (SS 750) submarine committee... This
would have been a good place to have advertised the 25th reunion in
July... Oh well, the 30th will be here before we know it.
Some of you are wondering why you are in here.... Please check this
website out.... Carol is wonderful about listing things from all
over.... And she keeps this going with donations... Which I will be
doing shortly...I never sent her my
birthday, but other people do even if they aren't from NN high
school.. Carol.. We might do it sometime......
All you have to do us ask her to put you on list and she will let you
know when a new one is added... She is so thorough!!!!! And a blessing
to all of us!!
I usually read them in bunches... Especially during the past several
long months.
FHS people......There was a good thing in there on
Mrs.
Shelton
10 May 1917 - 19 Mar 2011) before her death
and then afterwards.
Also, if you go to different sections, they have memorials, memories,
etc.
I got on it years ago...
My coworker, another local,
Marty Whitmore McCoy ('67) at VECTEC at CNU
...was checking it at work... And I checked it out... I thought you had
to be from NN High School. I saw that it is a wonderful history on the
peninsula and the surrounding area... And then I also heard about it
from John ('62) and Gwen Holland.... At church...
So I signed on... And like I said, that has been years ago...
Anyway.. Check out some of them.... She also has great histories of
songs, people, events 50 years ago, recipes, clean jokes ...an excellent
publication!!
..... Carol... I just took out my checkbook write a token to officially
thank you for everything you have done for me the past many years....
When you are up here sometime.. Maybe your 50th next year... We would
love to meet you face to face! I feel like I know you and your family.
Happy Pre-Sunday morning to all!
Kitty and Terry

Thank
you so very much, Kitty!
When I began the site in
2000, it really was just for the members of the NNHS Class of 1965, but
early in 2003 I expanded it to include the NNHS classes of '61 through
'66 (which seemed reasonable), and very shortly thereafter it blossomed
to include Practically Everybody (because life's too short, and I really
never have been a particularly reasonable person).
Inspired by
Glenn Dye
('60) of TX,
the
Happy Birthday page was opened on 07/21/14, and we now try to
celebrate everyone's birthday for an entire week in advance (which gives
y'all ample time to send them birthday wishes, and gives me ample time
to repair the frequent mistakes and omissions I make on the
Newsletters! Y'all send me
your birthdays so I can annoy - oh, I mean, help you celebrate, too!
Thanks again, Kitty!
The door is open! We look forward to
hearing from your friends, especially their memories of times and
places as they were in The Olden
Days - which really were only yesterday... |
FINALLY:
From
www.ajokeaday.com
- 10/12/14:
| Little Johnny
watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face.
'Why do you do
that, Mommy?' he asked.
'To make
myself beautiful,' said his mother, who then began removing the cream
with a tissue.
'What's the matter?' asked Little Johnny. 'Giving up?' |

Anchors Aweigh
Words (Verses One and Two) by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles, USNA -
'07, 1906 ;
Music by Lieut. Charles A. Zimmermann, USN, 1906
Words (Verse Three) by Midshipman Royal Lovell, USNA - '26.
Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky.
We'll never change our course, so Army you steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh.
Sail Navy down the field and sink the Army, sink the Army Grey.
Get underway, Navy, Decks cleared for the fray,
We'll hoist true Navy Blue So Army down your Grey-y-y-y.
Full speed ahead, Navy; Army heave to,
Furl Black and Grey and Gold and hoist the Navy, hoist the Navy Blue
Blue of the Seven Seas; Gold of God's great sun
Let these our colors be Till all of time be done-n-n-ne,
By Severn shore we learn Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage, service true With honor over, honor over all.
