HEALTH UPDATE:
From Jamey Douglas Bacon ('66) of VA - 10/19/09:
Hi friends,
I just had my 16th surgery on my knee. I am praying this time worked and I can keep my leg. The doctor at UVA talked about amputation and I really don't want to do that. I am tired of nursing homes and surgeries, too. I try to catch up on my mail when I am here. I am sorry if I don't answer it all but I really appreciate your letters.
Jamey
YOWZERONI!!!
Thanks for letting us know, Jamey; we're keeping you in our prayers!

Webdoll,
What a great call by
There also is former The
Times-Herald Police Reporter
It is disappointing that a search of usually reliable sources failed to pop up Hank and Bill’s names, including the Daily Press on-line archive. Hank was buried at Peninsula Memorial Park in the mid ‘90s, but the limited listing of graves excludes many. Bill was last known living in Achilles (Guinea), Gloucester County. He may have returned to his native Kentucky. Hank was a big man, who developed a “Mess Sergeant’s Chest” from complimentary hot dogs and peanuts in the press box. He earned his keep covering Virginia High School League (Eastern District) athletic events in Saunders Stadium, the Band Box gymnasium and the new Julie Conn Gym. In early 1970, Bill asked his rookie military editor if he had forgotten to shave that morning, to which he learned his Army veteran staffer had been trying to grow a mustache for a month. He made muster the next day. Later that year, the Marine recruiter offered two billets for a VIP visit to Parris Island. Bill went along as we witnessed eight weeks of recruit training in two days. It was a homecoming for him. We also were allowed to fire M14s on the range with Bill preferring his combat M1 Garand, despite our Bulls Eyes – no Maggie’s Drawers for us! Maj. Madagan may be able to tap his Corps
contacts to nail down info on these mentors and friends. There’s always the
resourceful
Norm Covert (’61) MD |
Thank you, Norm!
It might take me another week or so,
but we'll have them added soon! Let's see if we're able to find any
additional information on them first. If we don't, we'll add them anyway!
I must confess I had to look up the
term "Maggie's Drawers"!

The resident of Newport News who does these pictures of sunsets over the James River is a wonderful photographer.
His name is Toby Otter. His pictures make me so homesick I can hardly bear it.

I recognized his screen name (his

before somewhere or other on the site. His photographs are of exceptional

As I watched this I thought of a
fragrance (MidSummer's Night) by Yankee Candle which always deliciously reminds
me of men - I personally think it contains some yummy pheromones - but that's
just not the same thing as these, uh, unique blends!

Robert L. Faison, Jr.":
Hi Carol
I saw in the Daily Press Obituaries that a gentleman I worked with in the Electrical Department at the shipyard, Robert L. Faison, Jr., passed away last Friday. He was 88 years old; his funeral is on Tuesday. I know he had two daughters and two sons; don't know if any went to N.N.H.S. or not.
Glenn Dye
I saw this, too, Glenn, and wondered whether his children had attended NNHS:

His children are Brenda Faison Forbes of VA, Tamara Faison Alderman of FL, Buddy Faison III of VA, and Tony Faison of VA.
"Anyone? Anyone?"
My
condolences on the loss of your friend, Glenn.

Hi,

My
grandson, Tanner, and I had a wonderful, fun-filled week in Dublin,
Ireland. The city is fantastic, and our hotel was terrific. I did take this picture just for you. This shop is located two blocks off O'Connell Street on Talbot Street. O'Connell is the main north-south route in the city and is one of the widest streets in Europe. The Talbots were a major family in Irish history. They lived in Malahide Castle for over 800 years. The last Talbot died in February of this year. She was 93, but had never married. We did visit Malahide Castle. |

10/19/09, 7:24 PM - "A Memorable Evening at The
Chamberlin":
In late September,
Bill Lee
(Warwick HS - '54 - of NC) told me that he and his wife, Janie (Slack
Lee - Warwick HS - '54 - of NC), would be in Newport News 12 – 14 October. He extended a gracious
invitation to me to join them for dinner at the Chamberlin on Monday evening.
So, with the memory of the Class of 1964 Sunday Brunch still fresh in my mind from the day before, I arrived at the Chamberlin lobby and met Bill and Janie for the first time. Of course, we had already exchanged so many e-mails and research information that I felt like I was meeting an old friend. We chatted briefly as we took in the wonderful and timeless elegance of that old hotel and made our way to The Chesapeake Room.
We were seated at a table near a window overlooking Hampton Roads and began a conversation which meandered through more subjects than I can now recall. As you know, Bill is an Apprentice School Alumni and long-term Shipyard employee. He related fascinating stories of his experiences and exploits surrounding the design and construction of nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, including his “interactions” with the legendary Admiral Hyman Rickover. It was a real treat to hear of some of the innovative, practical, and “unorthodox” solutions, which he devised to correct the Admiral’s engineering design deficiencies, both real and imagined. Despite Admiral Rickover’s eccentricities and demanding style, we both agreed that he was called the “Father of the Nuclear Navy” for a very good reason. In the course of that conversation, we both had occasion to ask, rhetorically, “.. and just how many nuclear accidents have occurred in the U.S. Navy since 1955?” Each time, we placed our thumb and forefinger in a circle and said, “Zeeee-ro!!”
Ohhh, Brown Eyes, you always have known how to make me drool......
Thanks so much for sharing this
captivating account with us, David - and thank you, Bill!

Dieting?
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and
health.
It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than
Americans.
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer
fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now
Lyrics by Will M. Hough and Frank R. Adams
Music by Harold Orlob and Joe Howard
(From the musical show "The Prince Of Tonight", 1909)
You have loved lots of girls in
the sweet long ago,
And each one has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn,
And have sworn to them all you'd be true;
You have kissed 'neath the moon,
While the world seemed in tune
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Does it ever occur to you later, boy,
That's she's prob'ly doing the same?
I wonder who's kissing her now,
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking in to her eyes?
Breathing sighs!
Telling lies!
I wonder if she's got a boy?
The girl who once filled me with joy,
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?
If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue,
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed;
But the world moves a pace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear.
So you never can tell who is kissing her how.
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.
I wonder who's kissing her now,
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking in to her eyes?
Breathing sighs!
Telling lies!
I wonder who's buying the wine?
For lips that I used to call mine,
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?
