If worse comes to worse, maybe my husband can drop it off Friday or Saturday night.... Will you be at reunion both nights? Claudia P.S. I found Tina by phonebook. I will give her '65 and
also '64 to bring to the reunion. The deed is Welcome, Claudia!

Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 10/19/05:
Thank
you for "It's My Party".
Brought back the memory of my first (and only) cruise in '02. They had a
sort of "talent show" consisting of some of the passengers. I volunteered
for this song, wore a poodle skirt, and lip-synched part of it. The
younger women probably didn't volunteer because they didn't know the
words. But, hey, it's from my era, so I knew them all. My sister was one
of the backup singers. What a hoot!
Oh, goody! Your senior portrait! Thanks, Gloria! I'm glad the song evoked double-good memories for you!
Carol, as a

Well,
the time is near for your reunion. I really wish I could be
there......it's the one weekend a year when I do volunteer work at our
annual Mullet Festival. Yes, that's right.....Mullet, a bottom-feeding
fish that locals seem to enjoy, while I will never, ever eat it. Can't
imagine the famous hair-do being named after a fish, but then
again.......?? I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and thank you
for including this Crabber. Can't wait to see the pictures!
Y'all
have fun now, ya heah??
The Annual Mullet Festival?!? The mind boggles....... Well, have fun, Gloria! We'll miss you! Thanks! |

From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 10/19/05:
Carol -- probably not for the newsletter?
-- did you know Mr. Garland Reedy at
Trinity Methodist? He
owned a watch repair shop near the church (25th St, I think), and
was in a wheelchair.
I heard from Dad today that Mr. Reedy died
on Oct 11, he thinks.
He had 2 adopted sons -- Herbert and
Herman Moore. I don't think they went to
NNHS -- I think they went to Hampton.
Check the obit -- I don't have a
subscription to it. It may say where they went to school.

Garland Elroy Reedy
NEWPORT NEWS - Garland
Elroy Reedy, 87, a native of Ashe County, N.C. and a Peninsula resident
since 1943, died Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2005. Mr. Reedy was a member of Trinity
United Methodist Church where he served on the Administrative Board and was
a long time secretary of the Sunday School. He was a member of Bremond
Masonic Lodge #241 AF&AM, the Wm. J. Mahon Lodge #303, AF&AM, the Order of
the Eastern Star, Emera Chapter #31, and the Newport News Scottish Rite
Bodies. He was also a member of the Exchange Club of Wythe, and the
Peninsula Watchmakers and Jewelers Guild. Mr. Reedy was a watch and jewelry
repairman and had owned and operated his own shop in downtown Newport News
and later in Hampton. He was preceded in death by his wife, Alice M. Reedy
whom he married in 1949, and is survived by two sons, Herman F. Moore and
Herbert L. Moore; and a brother James Weldon Reedy. A Masonic Service will
be conducted 7 p.m. Thursday, in the Peninsula Funeral Home after which the
family will receive friends until 8:30 p.m. A funeral service will be held 2
p.m. Friday, in the funeral home with burial to follow in Peninsula Memorial
Park. |

Enjoy the Reunion!!
Ron
Oh, noooo! I didn't realize Mr. Reedy was still living; I knew that Alice (8 Apr 1918 - 2 Apr 1996) was no longer living. The boys were her sons by a previous marriage. I'm sorry, Sweetie; if
you don't mind, I obviously am printing this - for a couple of
reasons. I can't remember where Herman went to school; he may
well have gone to Hampton, as I did not know him. |

But Herbie Moore was a member of the Class of 1962 and went to
NNHS for at least his junior
and senior years. His portrait is not listed with the juniors, but he
signed my '61 Anchor, "Good Luck and Best Wishes to my sweetheart."
I knew he was just teasing me, but it still gave a lowly mouse a big thrill. |

1962 Anchor, p. 145 | |||
I've been meaning for some time to add Mr. Reedy's shop to Our Old Stomping Grounds. He did some watch repair for us a couple of times. He walked with a cane back in the 50's and 60's; I believe he was a polio survivor. He served as Treasurer at Trinity back then, which as a little girl I thought was enormously impressive. Alice Reedy worked with the children in the Junior Department at Trinity; I was one of those children. It was she who chose "Bless This House" to be the theme song for the children, which is why I attached it to Trinity's page. I'm sure that song is forever emblazoned on the hearts of those who sang it each Sunday. Both Mr. and Mrs. Reedy were fine, sweet, gentle people - and they both had startlingly beautiful eyes. It usually takes a big kick for me to move on something. This is no exception. Here's the new page: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-stomping.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-N-R.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reedys-jewelry.html Thanks so much for telling me, Ron! I really appreciate it, sad news though it is. And oh, you don't need a subscription to check the obituaries in the Daily Press. Just go to http://www.dailypress.com, and click on the Obituaries link. Since their recent page redesign it's a bit harder to spot, but it's near the top of the page. |
From Terry Seay ('67) of VA - 10/19/05:
Sorry I have not written in a while. I
was catching up on your
newsletters
(I never delete them before reading them) and wanted to offer
Tom Flax ('64 - of VA)
an answer as to who was catching all of Jimmy Hogan's
('67) passes... I recall Jimmy
would throw it as far as he could and David Cutler ('67
- of VA) would run past
everybody to haul it in. You knew it was coming but you just couldn't
stop it! That was such a sight to see. Tom also mentioned the
Marching Band
and I remember almost daily sitting in the stands before school watching
them practice... "GIANT".... still gives me goose bumps.
Thanks for all you do to do this for us!
Terry
Ah, Terry! We've missed you! Thanks for that answer for Tommy! And thanks for reminding me of the people in the stands who would watch us practice in the morning. It's strange how I could have forgotten such a thing.... And yes, I can still play "Fanfare and Giant" on my flute! Thank you for your kind words, too. Doing what I do is my rare privilege! |
From Jimmy Hines ('64) of Northern VA -
10/19/05:
Miz Carol, WOW!!! You've really captured the...ummm...err...ahhh...SPIRit of the Light at West Point! What a great page! I wondered how you would set it up. This oughta bring out more stories-surely there are others - from the many who visited this 'phenomenon of the dark.' Hmmmmm... That might even make for an interesting reunion field trip...or not...crazier things have happened. Could you see a tour bus driving up to that area at night in 2005? Maybe not...most everyone has certainly grown up by now...Oh, well, it's a thought...sorta. Thanks for making that enlightening page, and shedding a little light on the legend. Maybe we shouldn't let our kids read about it's location, though...On the other hand, they'll probably find out about it the same way we did. YOWZERS! What an idea!! GIGGLES! Thanks, Jimmy! http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/lights-of-west-point.html Best wishes for a great and fun reunion! Jimmy Thanks again. We're going to muss you! I'm going to miss you! |
From Van Rowell ('65) of NC - 10/20/05:

Tomorrow
(From the Broadway play, "Annie")
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!
