Carol,

Please pass on to the 45-Year 1964 reunion committee a special thank you for doing such a great job.  I know it was a lot of hard work putting it all together, from the memorial display, the memorabilia, pictures, slide show and much more.  They paid attention to every detail with heart and soul.  They even made home made wine, a DVD, a keychain and really cool nametags with our HS picture for each of us.  I look forward to seeing the pictures.  I can only hope I do not look like a fool after the tequila shots.  It was great seeing friends may friends and to name a few: Billy Crosley (of MD), Larry Boyles (of VA),   Cookie Phillips Tyndall (of VA),   Ronni Green Cristol (of MD),   Sandi Williams Patrick (of VA),    Jane Coltrain Leonard (of VA), Alice Pipkin Parker (of VA) and Donna Pipkin Brickner (of SC) , Orville Calhoun (of VA), Bill Ward (of VA), and especially   Angie Ray Smith (of VA), and many more. 

			Sylvia (Hall Hammond - '66) and I had a great time, and worth the travel from Utah via Jacksonville.  I took a camera but forgot to take pictures except for the two attached of our table. Once again hats off to the team! Phil Hammond
Pat Williams Boyles ('68) and Larry Boyles of VA	Bill and Laurie Crosley of MD

   Thank you, Phil! Your Reunion Committee is legendary!  By the end of the day, I will have posted your images where they belong:

   Amen to all that! Thank you, Cheryl!

  From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 10/17/09 - "Liver and Cheese":

Liver and Cheese

Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing, female Poodle.  The three male dogs fall all over themselves in an effort to be the one to reach her first, but end up arriving in front of her at the same time.

The males are speechless before her beauty, slobbering on themselves and hoping for just a glance from her in return.

Aware of her charms and her obvious effect on the three suitors, she decides to be kind and tells them, "The first one who can use the words 'liver' and 'cheese' together in an imaginative, intelligent sentence can go out with me."

The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up quickly and says, "I love liver and cheese."

"Oh, how childish," said the Poodle. "That shows no imagination or intelligence whatsoever."

She turns to the tall, shiny Golden Retriever and says "How well can you do?"

"Um. I HATE liver and cheese," blurts the Golden Retriever.

"My, my," said the Poodle. "I guess it's hopeless. That's just as dumb as the Lab's sentence."

She then turns to the last of the three dogs and says, "How about you, little guy?"

The last of the three, tiny in stature but big in fame and finesse, is the Taco Bell Chihuahua.

He gives her a smile, a sly wink, turns to the Golden Retriever and the Lab and says ..


(ok this is good)

"Liver alone. Cheese mine."

   Thanks, Judy!

ABBREVIATED ALERT:

   Thanks, Jane!

From ArcaMax Jokes - 10/17/09:

Pompous Colonel

Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door. Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the airman to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir."

"Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted man, he asked, "What do you want?"

"Nothing important, sir," the airman replied, ... "I'm just here to hook up your telephone."

*************

Photography

A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of a great forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting to fly him over the fire.

The photographer arrived at the airstrip just an hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna airplane was waiting. He jumped in with his equipment and shouted, "Let's go!"

The tense man sitting in the pilot's seat swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air, though flying erratically.

"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make several low-level passes."

"Why?" asked the nervous pilot.

"Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the photographer. "I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures."

After a long pause, the "pilot" replied: "You mean, you're not my instructor?"

Ships

Recorded by Barry Manilow, 1979


We walked to the sea.
Just my father and me.
And the dogs played around on the sand.
Winter cold cut the air.
Hangin' still everywhere.
Dressed in gray, did he say.
Hold my hand.
I said, love's easier when it's far away.
We sat and watched a distant light.
We're two ships that pass in the night.
We both smile and we say it's alright.
We're still here.
It's just that we're out of sight.
Like those ships that pass in the night.
There's a boat on the line.
Where the sea meets the sky.
There's another that rides far behind.
And it seems you and I are like strangers.
A wide ways apart as we drift on through time.
He said, it's harder now, we're far away.
We only read you when you write.
We're two ships that pass in the night.
And we smile when we say it's alright.
We're still here.
It's just that we're out of sight.
Like those ships that pass in the night.
We're just ships that pass in the night.
And we smile when we say it's alright.
We're still here.
It's just that we're out of sight.
Like those ships that pass in the night.
