From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 10/21/09 - "Sgt
Earl Olaf Hockstedler USMC (deceased)":
| Hi, Carol:
I have not yet received a reply from the son of Mr.
Hockstedler regarding his father, but did find the following: |
| Birth: | Oct. 18, 1921 |
| Death: | Oct. 23, 1989 |
|
Daily Press
(Newport News, VA) - October 25, 1989 Deceased Name: RETIRED DP EDITOR 'BILL' HOCKSTEDLER EARL O. HOCKSTEDLER BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Earl O. "Bill" Hockstedler, retired assistant managing editor of the Daily Press, died Monday, Oct. 23, in Greenview Hospital. He was 68. Mr. Hockstedler, who retired from the Daily Press in 1979, is remembered as the kind of tough but considerate editor characterized in the television series "Lou Grant." "A lot of what was in the series could have been about him. He was everything you could want in a newspaperman," said P.J. Budahn, a columnist with the Army Times who had worked as a reporter for Mr. Hockstedler at the Daily Press. "For Hock the news and the truth were synonymous," said John Greiff, retired Daily Press political writer and editorial page editor. "He believed in the integrity of the news columns." Mr. Hockstedler joined the Daily Press in July 1956. He started as a copy editor and went on to be wire editor, city editor and assistant managing editor/metro editor. Mr. Hockstedler's crewcut and ramrod posture spoke of his pride in having served in the U.S. Marine Corps. Budahn recalled that his former editor had been in the first wave of Marines that landed on the South Pacific island of Tarawa in what would become "one of the bloodiest days" in World War II. Mr. Hockstedler's former boss, W. Ed Storey, former Daily Press managing editor, called him a "top-notch newsman." "He was very good with young reporters," Storey said. One of those young reporters was Andrew D. Greenwell, now director of Hampton Coliseum. "I had a tremendous respect for him as an editor and as a Marine. He was a very close friend when I was at the newspaper," said Greenwell. He added, "Not one time in all the years I knew him did he ever say anything to make me feel uncomfortable. I was a rookie and he was a veteran editor." "You could talk to Hock about anything. He was one of the greatest editors I ever worked for - a first-class gentleman," said Harry E. Flesher, retired Daily Press courts reporter. Mr. Hockstedler enjoyed constant ribbing about his hobby: raising goats on his small farm in the Bena community of Gloucester County. Retirement for him meant simply slowing down. After moving to Kentucky, he taught journalism at Western Kentucky University and wrote part time for the Edmonton Herald-News. His feature articles for the weekly Herald-News won several top awards from the Kentucky Press Association, said former co-worker Patricia Stilts. Mr. Hockstedler was born in Hopkins, Minn., and was a graduate of the University of Minnesota. Before coming to Virginia, he worked for newspapers in South Dakota, Wisconsin and Ohio. He was a member of Eastwood Baptist Church, Bowling Green. Survivors include three sons, a brother and five grandchildren. A funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at Johnson-Vaughan Funeral Home. Burial with military honors will be at Davis-Hoffman Veterans Cemetery. |
| Burial: Davis-Hoffman Cemetery Bowling Green Warren County Kentucky, USA |
Thank you so much,
Joe!

"Grandma's Hands":
This is an oldie but it's just as nice now as it was the first time that I read it!
Grandma's Hands
 |
JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURE A GOOD WHILE, AND THEN READ THE REST. IT WILL
TOUCH YOU.
I was privileged to take a photo of 'Five Generations of Women'. GRANDMA'S HANDS - A must read thru to the end, please! |
|
Grandma, some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the patio bench. She didn't
move, just sat with her head down staring at her hands.
When I sat down beside her she didn't acknowledge my presence, and the longer I
sat I wondered if she was OK.
Finally, not really wanting to disturb her but wanting to check on her at the
same time, I asked her if she was OK. She raised her head and looked at me and
smiled. 'Yes, I'm fine, thank you for asking,' she said in a clear voice
strong.
'I didn't mean to disturb you, grandma, but you were just sitting here staring
at your hands and I wanted to make sure you were OK,' I explained to her.
'Have you ever looked at your hands,' she asked. 'I mean really looked at your
hands?'
I slowly opened my hands and stared down at them. I turned them over, palms up
and then palms down. No, I guess I had never really looked at my hands as I
tried to figure out the point she was making.
Grandma smiled and related this story:
'Stop and think for a moment about the hands you have, how they have served you
well throughout your years. These hands, though wrinkled shriveled and weak,
have been the tools I have used all my life to reach out and grab and embrace
life.
'They braced and caught my fall when as a toddler I crashed upon the floor.
They put food in my mouth and clothes on my back. As a child, my mother taught
me to fold them in prayer. They tied my shoes and pulled on my boots. They held
my husband and wiped my tears when he went off to war.
'They have been dirty, scraped and raw, swollen and bent. They were uneasy and
clumsy when I tried to hold my newborn son. Decorated with my wedding band they
showed the world that I was married and loved someone special.
'They wrote my letters to him and trembled and shook when I buried my parents
and spouse.
'They have held my children and grandchildren, consoled neighbors, and shook in
fists of anger when I didn't understand.
They have covered my face, combed my hair, and washed and cleansed the rest of
my body. They have been sticky and wet, bent and broken, dried and raw. And to
this day when not much of anything else of me works real well, these hands hold
me up, lay me down, and again continue to fold in prayer.
'These hands are the mark of where I've been and the ruggedness of life.
But more importantly it will be these hands that God will reach out and take
when he leads me home. And with my hands He will lift me to His side and there
I will use these hands to touch the
face of God.'
I will never look at my hands the same again. But I remember God reached out
and took my grandma's hands and led her home. When my hands are hurt or sore or
when I stroke the face of my children and husband I think of Grandma. I know
she has been stroked and caressed and held by the
hands of God.
I, too, want to touch the face of God and feel His hands upon my face.
When you receive this, say a prayer for the person who sent it to you, and
watch God's answer to prayer work in your life. Let's continue praying for one
another.
Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend will bless you both..
Passing this on to one not yet considered a friend is something God would do.
This is beautiful!
Thanks, Paul!

"The Mighty B-52 Stratofortress":
| Hi, Carol:
Reading
the contribution by
Norris Perry (Warwick HS '59) of VA regarding The
Mighty B-52 it prompted me to check out the
Famous Airmen page on your
website to see if my old classmate
Not! Well, I suppose Russell is far too busy working for Homeland Security to drop you an email. Maybe you could charm him into sending you a photo since my efforts have failed so miserably. TYPHOON Regards, |
You're a hoot,
Adonis!
If he didn't do it for you, his good friend, what makes you think he's gonna
do it for me - of whom he has never heard?!?
Besides, I don't even have his email addie! Oh, okay, give me his address
once more, and I'll pester him on more time - although I frankly think it's
kinda gutsy to pester someone who works in Homeland Security!

Thanks so much, Al!
From Adrian Whitcomb ('67) of VA - 10/21/09 - "Help
Fort Monroe! Send e-mail by Oct. 29":
Here is a way to help Fort Monroe by sending a brief e-mail. Thanks for all of your help!
Adrian Whitcomb, NNHS '67
|
Between now and October 29, will you help
Fort Monroe by e-mailing a brief comment to the Army as part of a
public comment process? At Citizens for a
Fort Monroe
National Park (CFMNP.org),
we hope that friends of Fort Monroe -- both within and beyond
Virginia -- will contribute the two or three minutes
that this simple but important task requires. Every voice counts! This is
a good way to make a real contribution to the cause.
Last fall we asked many of you to send comments on the process that was just beginning to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Disposal and Reuse of Fort Monroe." The Army included public comments in its documentation, but we have determined that it failed to follow some of the suggestions given in preparing the Draft EIS. We have one more opportunity between now and October 29 to emhasize what we consider to be important.
We believe it's important for as many citizens as possible to ask the Army
to consider a wide range not only of impacts but also of what are called
"alternatives." We need to once more tell the Army that simply
following the range of alternatives in the Fort Monroe
Authority's "Reuse Plan" is not enough, that involvement of the
National Park Service is becoming more of a possibilty as state
and local governments realize that they cannot handle the costs involved.
Yes, we believe that in the long run the greatest economic benefits will
come to Virginia and the Hampton Roads region if Fort Monroe becomes a
self-sustaining national park, with very limited development, but there
will be substantial startup costs, which only the Federal government can
cover.
The Draft EIS omits serious consideration of any national park, self-sustaining or otherwise! So we ask that before the deadline of October 29, you send an
e-mail message to
monr.post.nepapublic@us.army.
* Conduct a thorough investigation of a wide
range of alternatives,
including possibilities for substantial
National Park Service
involvement in a self-sustaining Fort Monroe National Park.
* Respond to the public comments of last
fall, which were overwhelmingly in agreement with the concept of a
self-sustaining national park.
* Recognize that Fort Monroe should not be
divided up, with portions offered for unnecessary development.
Please check our website at
http://cfmnp.org/ for an illustration from page 4-17 of the Draft
EIS (page 79 of the pdf file). It shows a lot of new development within
a few feet of the Fortress moat. We believe that it is a serious mistake
to divide Fort Monroe up this way and doing so will prevent it from
reaching its full potential as the national treasure that it is.
YOUR VOICE REALLY WOULD COUNT, AND THIS ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES. Thanks! A link to the Draft EIS is at the bottom of this (note). Written comments on the DEIS can be mailed to: Ms. Robin
Mills, Chief, BRAC Website - http://www.hqda.army.mil/acsimweb/brac/nepa_eis_docs.htm Notice of Availability (NOA) - http://www.hqda.army.mil/acsimweb/brac/eis_docs/FtMonroe_NOA.pdf Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Fort Monroe (A total of 936 pages including appendices) - http://www.hqda.army.mil/acsimweb/brac/eis_docs/FtMonroe_DEIS.pdf |
Thanks for your
diligence, Adrian!
Okay, y'all know
what to do!

Jokes - 10/21/09:
Cats
A tom cat and a tabby cat were courting on a back fence at night.
The tom leaned over to the tabby with pent up passion and purred... "I'll die
for you!"
The tabby gazed at him from under lowered eye lids and asked, "How many times?"
***********
Conductor
A conductor was having a lot of trouble with a drummer. He constantly gave this
guy personal attention and much advice, but his performance simply didn't
improve. Finally, before the whole orchestra, he took a critical jab at the
drummer, "When a musician just can't handle his instrument and doesn't improve
when given help, they take away the instrument, give him two sticks, and make
him a drummer -- which must be why you play the drums."
A stage whisper was heard from the percussion section, "And if he can't handle
even that, they take away one of his sticks and make him a conductor."

It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Baby I don't understand
Just why we can't be lovers
Things are getting out of hand
Trying too much, but baby we can't win
Let it go
If you want me girl, let me know
I am down on my knees
I can't take it anymore
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
with or without you
Baby don't misunderstand
What I'm trying to tell ya
In the corner of my mind
Baby, it feels like we are running out of time
Let it go
If you want me girl, let me know
I am down on my knees
I can't take it anymore
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Tearin' up my heart and soul
We're apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Tearin' up my heart and soul
We're apart I feel it too (I feel it too)
and no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
