	10/15/08 - NNHS Newsletter - So in Love “My sole inspiration is a telephone call from a director.” - Cole Porter, press interview, Feb. 8, 1955 (9 June 1891 - 15 Oct 1964)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   Today's Newsletter, repeated from exactly three years ago today, honors one of my favorite composers, Cole Porter, who died 44 years ago today.  He was an amazingly prolific composer, but I do believe of all those songs, this is my very favorite.

       From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 10/14/08 - "The Fido Puzzle":

Now ... the REALLY interesting question is this:

This phenomenon involving the number "9" works in our number system, which uses the base 10, i.e. the numerals 0 through 9.

Does there exist an analogous phenomenon for numbers in other base systems, e.g. the base 8, using numerals 0 through 7?

How about binary, which is base 2, using only the numeral 0 and 1?

Hmmmm ....

   Ahhh, the mind boggles!!! Thank you, Captain! It does give one pause ....

From Marsha Rice ('62) of VA AND    Pam Larmer Traugott ('62) of VA - 10/14/08 - "VERY IMPORTANT - BIG VIRUS COMING !!! PLEASE READ & FORWARD":

   YOWZERONI!!! This is so heinous!!! Thank you so much, Ladies!

       From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 10/14/08 - "NNHS CLASS OF 1964, 45TH REUNION":

MY, HOW TIME FLIES!! 

It sure doesn't seem like five years have passed since we first gathered the Reunion Committee in November 2003 to begin planning the 40th Reunion, but the calendar does not lie. 

And, so, we find that the 45th Reunion is upon us, and it is time to start thinking about when, where, and what.

The Kick-Off meeting of the NNHS Class of 1964 45-Year Reunion Committee is scheduled for 6:00 PM, Thursday, October 16th, in the lobby of the OMNI Newport News Hotel.

   Oh, WOW! It IS that time again, isn't it?!?  Okay, David, here ya go:

From www.LifeScript.com - 10/14/08 - "Color Clues to Your Personality":

Color Your Personality - What Does Your Favorite Hue Say About You?

By Bonnie Siegler, Special to LifeScript

Black

Personality: An affinity for black indicates that you’re fiercely loyal, committed to all of your relationships and extremely disciplined about achieving goals. Lovers of black tend to be emotional people and often make decisions based on feelings rather than logic. 

Celebs who love the color: Angelina Jolie, Gail O’Grady, Jennifer Aniston

White or Cream

Personality: Those who favor white are willing to experience lots of new things and seek out the unexplored. You attract many different types of people and adventures, but all this action can get you into a few tight spots. The best strategy: Control your expectations by limiting yourself to desires and goals you are sure you can achieve. 

Celebs who love the color: Kristin Davis, Jessica Biel, Pamela Anderson 

(See related story: The Secret Influence of Color)
 

Red

Personality: A passion for red announces loud and clear that a woman is a mover and shaker who does nothing halfway. Direct and practical with a clear idea of what you want, you let others know exactly where they stand and you establish firm boundaries. Saying “no” is not a problem for you. As a result, people respect you and listen when you talk. You can, however, become impatient with others’ inefficiencies. 

Celebs who love the color: Cindy Crawford, Meg Ryan

Yellow

Personality: A fondness for yellow suggests you’re an optimist who accepts people for who they are and you like to make everyone feel good. Like other people who love yellow, you tend to extend yourself without expecting anything in return, but you don’t accept kindness easily so it’s hard for others to do nice things for you.

Celebs who love the color: Tyra Banks, Reese Witherspoon
 

Your favorite: Yellow
Your least favorite: Blue
What this says about you: Your ability to see the big picture lets you pinpoint what’s missing, helping you transform failure into success. But forgetting details is your biggest roadblock.

Your favorite: Blue
Your least favorite: Yellow
What this says about you: You’re a great strategist who can plan imaginatively. The problem? What you think you need often differs from what you really need. The key to your success is being more practical in the planning phase

Your favorite: Blue
Your least favorite: Red
What this says about you: You have a rare ability to see the possibilities of your goals, as well as the limitations. But difficulty expressing yourself may keep you from garnering the support you need to achieve your dreams.

What this says about you: Your talent for appraising situations can get lost in the specifics of a task. Staying focused on your overall goal – rather than on the technicalities – will keep you on course.

From My Friend, Judy, of IL - 10/09/08 - "Dear Mom and Dad":

How funny! Freak out parents time!!!

Dear Mom and Dad, 

Our Scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and are worried. We are okay. Only one of our tents and two sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Adam when it happened. 

Oh yes, please call Adam's mother and tell her he is okay. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found Adam in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning. 

Scoutmaster Keith got mad at Adam for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Adam said he did tell him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him. Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas will blow up? 

The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did and also some of our clothes. Jimmie is going to look weird until his hair grows back. 

We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Keith gets the bus fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked okay when we left. Scoutmaster Keith said that with a bus that old you have to expect something to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance. 

We think it's a neat bus. He doesn't care if we get it dirty and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the fenders. It gets pretty hot with 45 people in a bus made for 24. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway patrol man stopped and talked to us. 

Scoutmaster Keith is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Jessie how to drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any cops. All we ever see up there are logging trucks. 

This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out to the rapids. Scoutmaster Keith wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and Adam was afraid he would sink because of his cast, it's concrete because we didn't have any plaster, so he let us take the canoe out. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood. 

Scoutmaster Keith isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the bus so we are trying not to cause him any trouble. 

Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Andrew dived into the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works. 

Steven and I threw up, but Scoutmaster Keith said it probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they got sick that way with food they ate in prison. I'm so glad he got out and became our scoutmaster. He said he sure figured out how to get things done better while he was doing his time. By the way, what is a pedal-file? 

I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters and buy some more beer and ammo. Don't worry about anything.  

Love, Matthew

   YIKESARONI!!! Thanks, Judy!

So in Love

- Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter for "Kiss Me Kate", 1948


Strange dear, but true dear,
When I'm close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.

Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You know, darling why,
So in love with you am I.

In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there.
In love with my joy delirious,
When I knew that you could care OR The thought that you might care.

So taunt me, and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours till I die,
So in love, so in love,
So in love with you, my love, am I.
