- NNHS Newsletter - Herb Hice's 84th Birthday
"Take time to SMELL the
ROSES." |
![]() |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I thought it only
meet and right that we celebrate today what would have been

our beloved
Herbie's 84th birthday, as he was our very own celebrity. And though I
never really met him in person, like so many of you I grew to love him.
Not a day goes by that I don't miss him still. The bulk of today's content
is things I think he would enjoy. Semper Fi, Herbie
Darlin'!

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES:
From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA -
10/21/08:
The link does not work. Check it out.
I CAN get to the newsletter thru the home page link.
Well, THAT'S interesting..... I've no idea how it happened, but apparently the final "l" in .html chose not to participate in the link.
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/10-21-08-NNHS-Someone-That-I-Used-to-Love.htm
And of
course, having already used my allotment of 500+ names to receive a
notification, there's no way until tomorrow I can let 'em know, so I hope they
were all as resourceful as you. Thanks for letting me
know, Captain!

From George Helliesen ('61) of MI -
10/21/08 - "pop uP":
Well,
THAT'S even MORE interesting!
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, George!
With a
faulty link, it SHOULD have just said, "File
Not Found!"
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/10-21-08-NNHS-Someone-That-I-Used-to-Love.htm
Oh, wait, I see. The rest of that page says all kinds of silly things, doesn't it? Okay, let's recap the history of the site.
![]() |
|
HISTORY:
Back in the summer of 2000
when we first began, there were only about ten different sections to the entire
site, and they were mostly lame. As we began to grow and expand, I started
sending email notices to our 20 or so subscribers, alerting them to new content
on the site Soon those emails grew too long, and evolved into bi-monthly
updates.
Frances Goodson Wang ('65) of MD
actually suggested the Newsletter format as a timesaving device. During
the early months of 2003, thanks largely to the input of
Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA,
Wayne
Stokes ('65) of VA, and
Joe
Madagan ('57) of FL, the site and number of subscribers began to boom at a
furious pace. On 09/10/03 we found we needed a larger site with
more space and greater bandwidth, so that's when we obtained the paid site space
through www.00freehost.com.
Finally, those Newsletters grew so long and so frequent that we were starting to
get complaints, so on 06/13/04 at the suggestion of
Ron Miller ('59) of NC, we began
posting them permanently on the site:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/NNHS-Newsletters-2004.html
They were still rather basic, but the type was bigger than a plain email. On 07/26/04, we found that even the paid space was insufficient for our needs, so we upgraded our membership from Silver to Gold.
Sometime after that, I got carried away as I generally do, and began adding images and music and material unrelated to the school, and they just acquired a life of their own. I'm sure there are legions who yet believe that the Newsletters are all that is available - when in fact, they represent but a fraction of the site itself.
All this time I kept setting arbitrary limits everywhere (only to break them almost immediately) - first to just to members of the classes of 1955 to 1965, because those were the yearbooks to which I had access. Then I acquired more yearbooks, and we added people from earlier and later classes - and then other schools, and on and on it went. In early 2005, we began the concept of Memorial Newsletters. In December of 2005, I thought it would would be fun to have a Newsletter a day. I meant for that only to be for the month of December, but it pretty much turned into the norm.
But the time of the updates is always recorded on the site itself, on the front page, the site map, and the Newsletter link:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/SITE-MAP.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/NNHS-Newsletters-2008.html
The email reminders are basically superfluous. They're simply a way of saying, "TA-DAH! Another Newsletter is ready NOW!"
We have scores of people who read along with us every day who are not on my mailing list of about 550, and who never receive a notification at all. I think they just bookmark the site and go and take a peek.
If my email notice breaks, I
cannot fix it or even let you know until the next day. One shot at email
is all I'm allowed per day. Soooo, if there's
a problem, just go check one of those other links. If they're broken, I
can generally repair them. Thanks, Sweetie-Pies!

From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of NC - 10/19/08 -
"You'll Fall in Love with this TINY BABY DEER !!!":
In the midst of what happened in the world this past week, this little miracle brings hope.
At just six inches tall and
weighing just over a pound, he is now in an incubator in the intensive care unit
at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire.
He has only recently opened his eyes.
Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said: 'Rupert's mother had very severe
injuries. We brought him out and got him breathing, and then he went into an
incubator on oxygen. He is now being fed by a tube.'
Staff are optimistic that
Rupert, now five days old, will make a full recovery.
'Deer are very, very tricky, but this one has spirit. He's an extremely feisty
little guy and quite pushy,' Mr. Stocker said.
Thanks, um, Dear!
Herbie would have loved this!
Here's the story as it appeared in the 09/30/08 issue of the UK Evening Standard:

From Elizabeth Tedder Nunnally ('65 / '68) of VA - 10/20/08 - "The Pastor's Cat":
Thought this was cute!
A friend recently told a story about the pastor of his church. He had a kitten
that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The
pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down.
The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a
rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up
and get the kitten. That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in
the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be
bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little
further forward, the rope broke. The tree went 'boing!' and the kitten instantly
sailed through the air - out of sight. The pastor felt terrible. He walked all
over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody
had seen a stray kitten.
So he prayed, 'Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,' and went on
about his business.
A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members.
He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. This
woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, 'Why are you buying
cat food when you hate cats so much?'
She replied, 'You won't believe this,' and then told him how her little girl had
been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the
child had begged again, so the mom finally told her little girl, 'Well, if God
gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it.'
She told the pastor, 'I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees,
and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it
with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its
paws outspread, and landed right in front of her.
'Lesson learned: Never underestimate the Power of God and His unique sense of
humor.
This is delightful! Thanks, Elizabeth!

From http://www.SelfGrowth.com - 10/19/08 - "Personal Consciousness":
Imagination - *** Because We Are
Powerful!
By Melissa Zollo, the Official Guide to Imagination, Oct. 14, 2008
Many people are still skeptical about the Power of Imagination and the application of Universal Laws. If you are one of them, the following ideas may not be for you. But if you have experienced things that aren’t easily explained or have a sense that it is your spiritual birthright to be happy, healthy, well balanced, confident, wealthy and capable of expressing the fullness of life -- read on.
Over thirty years ago I was searching for a way out of my pain over the loss of my father and I found myself in LA. I was introduced to a remarkable woman who shared ideas with me that lifted me out of grief and sorrow. She explained to me that my consciousness and feelings are the keys to a creative and wonderful life. She went on to say that I didn't have to be enslaved to fear, anger or my environment because I was a spiritual being. Within me, were powers that if awakened would free me from "appearances and negative conditions." I sat in her home captivated for hours by the ideas she expressed.
"What you are conscious of exists now as your reality!”
It wasn’t until I took an acting class that I put two and two together. I realized that there is a relationship between my dominant thoughts, feelings, part I play with others and my personal experience. My personal world was simply a mirror. It was reflecting the contents of my deeper mind back to me.
Awakening!
Later on it dawned on me. My success and happiness depended upon my imagination,
vibration (emotional moods) and proper use of all of the Universal Laws of Life.
The idea that I had untapped powers, (a treasure house within me) inspired my
heart and soul. I had found the key that would allow me to rise up out of my
past and help me transcend my environment. My desire to grow and expand my
awareness and Know Myself rooted in my subjective mind. I wanted to plant new
ideas because I knew that in time they would emerge as a new result.
Do you ever wonder why the media feeds us
crisis after crisis? I took a moment and looked up the word crisis.
Cri•sis – Pronunciation: 'krî-s&s
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin, from Greek krisis, literally,
decision, from krinein to decide -- 1 : the turning point for better or worse 2
: the decisive moment
3 a : a crucial time in which a decisive change is impending
• Did you ever notice how many sensational stories dominate the news and as soon
as one story runs its course another pops up?
• Did you ever consider how these stories leave you stressing and obsessing?
The Decisive Moment!
With all the negative financial talk about bail-outs, rescues, and higher
taxes many people are sensing a meltdown. “Investors are suffering from a
downward spiraling into fear”. But if you will take time to think right, you
will realize a meltdown is nothing more than an old thought pattern being
dissolved. They are always followed by breakthroughs and new results IF you
will hold to the fulfillment of your dream. It is up to you to decide to put
thoughts of poverty fueled from fear behind you as you advance through the
storm.
The Turning Point
Now is the time to begin working with energy in the form of ideas. A study
of economic health is vastly more important than a study of shot-gun bank
mergers, credit crisis and rising unemployment. If you want to experience
financial security in your life it is wise to surround yourself with those
things that support feeling prosperous. Most of us do just the opposite.
Your feelings are worth a fortune!
Until we understand the language of our feelings we will continue to ascribe our
emotional moods to events taking place in the world, rather than face up to the
truth that world events reflect the dominant mass mind consciousness.
Is there a solution? Yes!
The greatest secret in the whole wide world is that Infinite Intelligence is
within you. The answer to every challenge is locked within your mind. Regardless
of today’s headlines and media buzz regarding banks, credit card debt, financial
problems, and crisis, you can seize the moment, turn within to the treasure
house of infinity, and begin to perceive your financial world anew.
How do you lift yourself up by the bootstraps to change your current mindset? You turn within to the workshop of your imagination and activate your thinking! Why - because nothing is attracted to you from without. People, situations and things come to you from within, even money.
Ask Yourself:
If all things come from within the depths of consciousness and they are projected from our beliefs and images (mental blueprints) and fueled from our feelings, where is the "crisis" coming from?
What is keeping it alive? What can solve it?
All problems, challenges and obstacles simply reflect the absence of the
answer. If every physical effect has an imaginal cause then the first step
to recovery is for you to stop accepting the crisis as real.
• Are you tired of chasing after money?
• Do you want money to come to you from doing work that you love?
• Do you have a desire to seize control of your finances and your future?
If you answered yes, I cannot emphasize the importance of studying how to “dream your finances into being” and get rich. It takes time and effort to bridge the spiritual view with financial needs. When you are worried and fearful about money you are distracted from your dream and incapable of living your life to the fullest.
How do you get started?
• By seeking happiness in all situations and changing your thinking about yourself.
• Reach for the security within. Invest in your peace of mind, uplift your awareness, and you will vibrationally attune yourself to the treasure house of abundance.
• Build a new money blueprint. Focus on your own personal, financial solution and in time you will move into a harmonious, balanced state of mind.
• Breathe deeply until you understand that your dreams and desires matter. Relax and you will discover what physical actions are right for you. The Universe always responds to your dominant thoughts. Know this and relief is on the way, and hopefully bliss.
To the degree that you can rise up in awareness and identify yourself with a new financial blueprint and align with the "controlling forces of the universe", you will prove the Imaginal Dynamic in the situations and financial results that make up your experiences.
Remember: Your thoughts, mental blueprints and feelings about money, wealth and riches control your destiny!
The “ways and the means” money shows up in your life is not the cause of money – it is simply the avenue. The Infinite Within never fails to express our beliefs. It has limitless “ways and means” to open doors to financial security, and bring money, peace, well being -- or whatever you need -- to you.
You are always creating, morning, noon and night! Because you are powerful, you must take imaging seriously
Consciousness in action is imagination in action!
Remember that your feelings can link you to a world where all things are possible once you know How to Unleash the Power Within and Attract Money and Discover the Power of Imagination.
Consciousness in action is imagination in action!
Never close a door on a dream – your dreams are calling you!

From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 10/21/08 - "Dolphins":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywqzhwU440s
This video is of dolphins playing with silver
colored rings which they have the ability to make under water to play with. It
isn't known how they learn this, or if it's an inbred ability.
As if by magic the dolphin does a quick flip of its head and a silver ring
appears in front of its pointed beak. the ring is a solid, donut shaped bubble
about 2-ft across, yet it doesn't rise to the surface of the water! It stands
upright in the water like a magic doorway to an unseen dimension.
The dolphin then pulls a small silver donut from the larger one. Looking at the
twisting ring for one last time a bite is taken from it, causing the small ring
to collapse into a thousands of tiny bubbles which head upward towards the
water's surface. After a few moments the dolphin creates another ring to play
with. There also seems to be a separate mechanism for producing small rings,
which a dolphin can accomplish by a quick flip of its head.
An explanation of how dolphins make these silver rings is that they are
"air-core vortex rings". Invisible, spinning vortices in the water are generated
from the tip of a dolphin's dorsal fin when it is moving rapidly and turning.
When dolphins break the line, the ends are drawn together into a closed ring.
The higher velocity fluid around the core of the vortex is at a lower pressure
than the fluid circulating farther away. Air is injected into the rings via
bubbles released from the dolphin's blowhole. The energy of the water vortex is
enough to keep the bubbles from rising for a reasonably few seconds of play
time.
OH, WOW!!!
Thank you for sharing this, Norris!

From Nancy Mitchell Wynne ('64) of MD - 10/21/08:
Hi Carol,
So sorry we couldn’t be at the sock hop last week but we had a conflict we couldn’t resolve.
We missed you, Nancy!
I asked
Barbara (Fritsche Barnes - '63 - of VA)
where you were, and she told me that you and
Bill (Wynne - '63 - of
MD) had a prior commitment. She explained that
Bill Shaw ('63 - of VA) and

Butch
Ragland ('63 - of CO) had similar conflicts, but would all have loved to
have been there.
Would you add me to the
announcement of newsletters, for some reason I’ve dropped off the list I think.
Actually, you're still on my mailing list, and the
notifications still go out to you regularly, but your email is blocking them.

How many attended the events over the weekend?
OOOOH, numbers, hmmm, I'm not really good with numbers, but I understand that attendance was down about 10% from last year.
Will there be pictures?
Yes, ma'am, hundreds and thousands of them! Welllll, maybe not THAT many - but quite a few, anyway!
Thanks for all you do for NNHS Alums!
It's my pleasure, Nancy!

The United States Marine Corps Hymn
Words: L. Z.
Phillips (?) (1919)
Music: Jacques Offenbach from Genevieve de Brabant (1868)
From the Halls of Montezuma To the Shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea; First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine. Our flag's unfurled to every breeze From dawn to setting sun; We have fought in ev'ry clime and place Where we could take a gun; In the snow of far-off Northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes; You will find us always on the job-- The United States Marines. Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve; If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.
