Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This lovely sad song from 2001 (for which I could find no midi file) has been replaying in my mind all week.
Today would have been
my daddy's (the late
Robert Buckley - John Marshall HS - '25)
(19 Oct 1907 - 25 Apr 1960)
107th birthday. I still cry sometimes when I think of him, too.

| Carol,
Umm. ah, certainly! Thank you,
Malcolm!
This is what is known
in strictly scientific terms as "SAY, WHAT?!?"
One year ago this very month, he fell blessedly and silently into my email account "as the dew from heaven distilling," but did not ask to be added to my mailing list. I then assumed he was one of the scores of alumni and others who have bookmarked that page, and prefer just to read the Newsletters each day (or at their leisure) without being annoyed by my daily announcements clogging their inboxes (as many more of y'all clearly prefer). In one form or another Bob's been seen on our pages for several years. As his birthday was one of only five or six I could actually remember from The Olden Days of yore, Bobby's name was one of the first to appear on our Birthday Page when it was added to the site on 07/21/04, and we've been celebrating his birthday together every February 19 since then. Of course you may find him on the Band pages, especially the 1962 page, as well as the Buckroe Beach Amusement Park Page within the Our Old Stomping Grounds section. I've added Bob's name to the Alumni Page for the Class of 1962, and the Contact Page for his class as well, though his email addy will be kept private unless he gives me specific permission to post it.
Welcome (officially) aboard, Bobby!

It is
now 69 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is
being sent as a memorial Chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20
million Russians, 10 Million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who
were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated. Now, more than ever, it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again. This e-mail is intended to reach 40-million people worldwide! Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the World. Please send this e-mail to people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain. Please don't just delete it. It will only take you a minute to pass this along. Thanks! |

Thank you so much, Gentlemen! 
This seemed
especially appropriate for today's Newsletter.

Carol,
this is a picture of the Warwick HS SCA, 1959. The late
Norris
Perry (Warwick HS - '59)
(d. 07 Feb 2014) is at the
bottom right.Next to him is my future brother-in-law, Dan Adams. He taught English at NNHS 64-65. Behind Norris are future judge J.R. Zepkin, Jim Maxwell, attorney Jerry Franklin. Far left bottom is my sister Jeanne who is now married to Dan Adams. If anyone wants the names of the rest I can probably give them. Thought you'd like the pic of Norris. He was such a fan. |
|
Thank you so very much for this image, Jamey!
I really miss Norris and think of him often. So many of my favorite
people have passed on to the other side now.
