YESTERDAY IN WWII:

October 14, 1943 - Prisoners at the Nazi German Sobibor extermination camp in Poland revolted against the Germans, killing eleven SS guards, and wounding many more. About 300 of the Sobibor Camp's 600 prisoners escaped, and about 50 of these survived the end of the war.

October 14, 1944 - Athens, Greece was liberated by British Army troops entering the city as the Wehrmacht pulled out. This cleared the way for the Greek government-in-exile to return to its historic capital city, with George Papandreou, Sr., as the head-of-government.

Hi, Carol: Hope you and         Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of NC) had a good time at the Reunion, and visiting the Commonwealth. Noticed that you are imbedding the link to the Newsletter page on your website in your newsletters to your subscribers in the "TYPHOON Nation" again, and glad you were able to overcome some of the issues with your Internet Service Provider. TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL     Well, there you are, Adonis!   I thought you had R-U-N-N-O-F-T!   Actually, I hope you and    Eva (Ellis Madagan - '61 - of FL) DID R-U-N-N-O-F-T to the Sacred Soil for your 55-Year Reunion last week, and that y'all had as much fun as Paul and I did at '62's 50-Year Reunion!     I did return to including Newsletter links in the announcements after giving everyone a few weeks to either "whitelist" my addy, or lift the heaviest restrictions from their security settings so that my mail would actually reach them.  I still have not yet heard from some of those who were our most frequent contributors prior to my computer difficulties back in April when we stopped production for four months.  Hey, you don't suppose that THEY done R-U-N-N-O-F-T, do you??      Thanks, Major Madagan - so good to hear from you again!

As we danced we observed a fireworks display along the Gloucester County York River waterfront.

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 10/14/12:
 

HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY AND DRIVE OTHER PEOPLE INSANE Submitted by Jonalee Echols from Bullard Texas. 1. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice. 2. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. This is especially effective if your boss is the opposite gender. 3. Put mosquito netting around your cubicle. 4. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that. 5. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN." 6. When driving colleagues around, insist on keeping your car's windshield wipers running during all weather conditions to keep 'em tuned up. 7. Reply to everything someone says with, "That's what you think." 8. Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers, then cc them to your boss. 9. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy." 10. At lunchtime, sit in your parked car and point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down. 11. Specify that your drive-thru order is "to go." 12. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

Blinded by the Light

Written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen, 1973
(b. 23 Sept 1949)

Recorded by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, 1976
(b. 21 Oct 1940
 

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
Now Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"
