Tomorrow
“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes
courage
is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
'I will try again tomorrow.' ”

THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEKEND:
1.
Buster Vest ('63) of VA is a veteran of the Coast Guard and
Marshall Conley ('63) of VA is an Air Force veteran -
which things I had never suspected.
2. Jimmy Crank ('63) of VA can assemble a MIGHTY fine 60's band - best I've ever heard - of which I never had the slightest doubt.
3. Saunders Stadium, which has been in bad repair and leaking for some time, has been scheduled for demolishment in the near future.
4. Some Missing Birthdays:
Frank Gibson ('63) of VA - May 8, 1943
Eileen Casey Sparkman (Ferguson HS - '68)
of VA - June 10, 1949
Judy Fertitta Gibson (Hampton HS - '62) of
VA - August 7, 1944
Pam Russell Hanzlik ('63) of NC - August 23, 1944
Jimmy Crank ('63) of VA - October 18, 1944
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html
5. I always knew there were some very
good dancers among us - for instance,
Pam Larmer Traugott ('62) of VA,
Marshall Conley ('63) of VA, Glen Davenport ('63) of VA,
and
Angie Ray Smith ('64) of VA, but I
didn't realize (or had forgotten) that
Forrest ('63) and
Deanie Powell of VA were, as well.
6. I learned anew to never take a trip - particularly not to a Class Reunion - without extra camera batteries and plenty of pain reliever. ARGHHH and DOUBLE ARGHHH!
QUESTIONS I PONDERED THIS WEEKEND:
1. Joan Faulkner ('63) of VA taught -
or is still teaching - English (I think) at John Randolph Tucker High
School in Richmond, the alma mater of my Cousin,
Jim Atkinson
(John Randolph
Tucker HS - '77 - of AZ).
I wonder if their paths crossed??
2. On Friday afternoon just as we were on Highway 58 approaching our turnoff onto I-664, we encountered a major traffic jam. The news shopper hovering overhead led us to believe there was a serious accident up the road. Sure enough, just as we were about to turn onto the interstate, we passed a horrific wreck - the first (and worst) of THREE wrecks we were to pass in that driving rain - and found to our dismay they had closed I-664 altogether. This delayed our arrival at the Omni by THREE hours.
Can anyone find me an account of that first wreck (I believe it involved three vehicles, but I could clearly see a pretty little red car flipped upside down on Route 58) to that to satisfy my curiosity?? I think it was carried in Saturday morning's Daily Press, but I failed to obtain a copy while I was in town.
3. The Reunion was so excellent and so much fun, and at least two functions were open to all Typhoons - why was it not better attended?!? Where WERE y'all?!?
From Norm Covert ('61) of MD -
10/18/08 - "
Faith DeArment":
Normie, I'm trying to picture you as a "dirty old man". You always had one of the most purely innocent and genuinely good and honest faces I've ever seen.
Nope, It's
just not working!
Thanks,
Sweetie!

From
Me
('65) of NC - 10/20/08:
Y'all go
check out the WorldFest webpage:
http://www.worldfest.org.
They're preparing for the
42nd Annual WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival. If this is
not sounding familiar to you, WorldFest is run by
Hunter Todd ('57)
of TX. Prepare to be wildly impressed anew!
Go, Hunter!
From Joan
Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 10/18/08 - "How to Avoid the Flu":
How To Avoid The
Eat right!
Make sure you get your daily dose of
fruits
and veggies.
Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C.
Get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system.
Walk for at least an hour a day,
go for a swim,
take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.
Wash your hands often.
If you can't wash them,
keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around.
Get lots of fresh air. Open doors & windows whenever possible.
Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.
Get plenty of rest.
OR
Take the doctor's approach.
Think about it...
When you go for a shot,
what do they do first?
They
clean
your arm with alcohol...
Why?
Because Alcohol KILLS GERMS.
So......
I walk to the liquor store (exercise),
I put lime in my Corona
(fruit),
celery
in
my Bloody Mary (veggies),
drink
outdoors on the bar patio
(fresh air),
tell
jokes, laugh
(eliminate stress),
then
pass out (rest).
The way I see it...
If you keep your alcohol levels up,
flu germs
can't
get you!
My grandmother always said,
'A shot in the glass
is better than one in the a--!'
Live Well - Laugh Often - Love Much
GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Joan!
From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of
VA - 10/17/08 - "Thank Goodness for little boys!!!!!":

GOTTA LOVE LITTLE BOYS
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter. The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"
"Eight," the boy replied. |
|
Thanks
so much, Joyce!
This one
gave me more than a chuckle or two, as it brought back such a precious funny
memory for me.
When one of my six sons (who shall remain nameless, but he'll recognize himself!) was young enough to still ride in the front of a shopping cart, he repeatedly did this while I wasn't paying enough attention.
We would be riding along shopping in Wal-Mart, when suddenly I would begin to notice twitters and giggles from nearby customers. That's because my precocious little darling had removed and unwrapped a Playtex tampon from the package I had tossed into the cart, and using the pink plastic tube as a microphone, was giving unparalleled play-by-play to the crowds:
"And on your left, Ladies and
Gentlemen, you'll see our large selection of paper towels. Coming up on
our right, you can choose from many different brands of toilet paper...."

Tomorrow
(From the Broadway play, "Annie",
1976)
Music by
Charles Strouse
(b. 7 June 1928)
Lyrics by
Martin Charnin
(b. 24 Nov 1934)
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!
