    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 10/20/12 - " Reunion of NNHS Class of 1957":

Hi, Carol:

After making all the necessary plans to attend the "Big 55" for NNHS Class of 1957 Reunion, a small item required that I not travel to Virginia. Just the day before we were planning to begin the trip, a kidney stone changed our plans. We were sure looking forward to seeing everyone, and I learned that several classmates who have not attended any of the prior reunions came this year, making the disappointment even greater.

Hoping several of your subscribers will furnish photo images taken during the Reunion for your Newsletter!!!

TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
 
   "A SMALL ITEM"?!? Joe, you have an amazing gift for understatement!  I delivered seven gi-nor-mous babies naturally and without drugs (well, almost drug-free; the first one was born at Portsmouth Naval Hospital, and apparently saddle-blocks were pretty much obligatory back in 1970) - piece of cake:

http://www.angelfire.com/ct3/aao/cluckmeat/familyhistory.html  

   NOTHING - not even gallstones - came even close to the pain I experienced in April with those nasty horrendous kidney stones!  I am so sorry this happened to you!  Are you feeling better yet??  I also recall being quite slow to making a full recovery, so I hope you continue to improve daily! 

 
   YOWZERONI-RINI-ROONI-ROOTIE-TOOT-TOOTIE!


     From Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 10/20/12 - "Help":

Carol, recently in the newsletters you have included a segment I sent you on "rare photos" as did       Wayne Stokes ('65 - of VA). You have my class listed as "55". Not so; it's "66", and every time I see this I start counting up (on my fingers & toes) to see how old I am. Something ain't right here. I mean, Wayne even isn't that old, is he???
 
All my love,
 
Bill or Billy or Will or William (When my parents called me William I knew they had found out something.)


   OH, SHEESH! Billy, this is a classic example of why blind people shouldn't be in this business.....

   The mistake apparently extended back to September 22, when I was fighting the html code.
I re-entered the date incorrectly (hey - it looked okay to me! ), and then I've just been cutting and re-pasting the same blooper ever since. I've fixed them ALL (I think) now.

  
Thanks for telling me, Sweetie! I never would have seen it. I had to hold my face five inches from my (rather large) monitor to see it this time - and even then, I caught myself entering '88 once!


  From Jay Styles ('68) of VA - 10/20/12 - "Santa Barbara Beach":

Santa Barbara...

The first picture and the last picture are taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the Pier. The second photograph shows another temporary memorial located at Santa Monica, California. Both are known as Arlington West.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington_West

There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan. The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends.
 

  They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend. Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it. Every cross has the name, rank and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it. Very moving, very powerful. So many young volunteers. So many 30 to 40 year olds as well.

Amazing!
     
     

http://www.independent.com/news/2010/aug/19/crossroad-crosses/

If I get it a 1000 times, I'll forward it a 1000 times! Prayer for our soldiers... please don't break it! Please send this on after a short prayer. Please, let us pray... Prayer:

Heavenly Father, hold our troops in Your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in this our time of need.
These things I humbly ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Amen.'

GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!

   Thank you so much, Jay Sweetie!


      From Harry Covert ('57) of MD - 10/21/12 - "New Rules for Political Jousting?":

New Rules for Political Jousting?

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 12:13 PM PDT
By Harry M. Covert

I am grateful this political season is coming to a climax and none too soon. Maybe, just maybe, television will get back to some semblance of order and entertainment, even though I can’t think of any programs I want to see.

While the electorate has been bombarded in every possible way and subjected to stretchers almost beyond measure, the only people making money over the course of the political battlefield have been the broadcasting industry.

Candidates of all stripes have tried to make the populace believe American society is on a treadmill to oblivion and the media has been complicit scaring the daylights out of everyone. The current crop of well-to-do candidates have the answers, if their words and the croaking of their deputies, otherwise known as gasbags, are to be accepted. They’re all loaded and nothing’s wrong with that.

From all sides the flow has been constant –daily email begging for donations. The pleas say “we’re almost at victory but need your immediate $3 gift.” The delete button is a wonderful thing as is the mute button on the TV remote. The moneybags have a never-ending gall to ask the lessers to literally “Cough-Up, America.”

From this standpoint some changes ought to be in store in the form of debates and what is allowed in commercials. Candidates and their professional minions should take oaths” to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” And do so in public. This would certainly test the “honesty and veracity” of them all.

It’s become quite sickening to listen to the charges pro and con. I may have used this once before but it still holds true, “you can fool some of the people some of the time and that’s enough.” This is worth a good laugh in the coffee klatches, tea times and around the sports bars.

Commercials blast away about how salaries and jobs have fallen on hard times – and some have. But, how do the wizards justify the multi-million dollar salaries the professional athletes receive for batting, pitching and catching or passing a football or basketball and take great pleasure as bounty hunters? Certainly, the players can’t be faulted for taking the cash. Just think about the oodles of money the professional owners are earning from the television contracts.

There I go again. The broadcasting networks are the big-time earners. And those “objective” broadcast correspondents-journalists-new readers-hosts slanting their reports don’t do badly either. It’s no small thing that they begin in the half-million dollar yearly salary class. It was interesting to see the “correspondent” interview the presidential challenger on tax-paying amounts. I think here, honesty and veracity could be a subject since neither was required to swear, affirm or promise on a Bible, the Constitution, a Buddhist holy book or simply their word and handshake.

Yes, I’m more than a bit jealous of the incredible paydays. I missed the boat a half century ago. I was all agog at the prospects of life in newspapers. I was so enthralled with the “glamorous” life of reporters I sat down at the typewriter and took a dollar-an-hour job instead of the $10 an hour job promised as a tugboat deck hand. Yes, vision is important, too.

Since I don’t expect the rules of political jousting to change, perhaps a new code or law could be considered throughout the land. For example, all political communications would be printed yellow-green paper.

According to some printing and color professionals the color yellow-green shows deceit and lies.

   GIGGLES! Thanks so much, Harry!


  From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 10/21/12 - "Holy Holy Holy":

HOLY HUMOR

A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!"

His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?"

The son replied, "I do know!"

"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"

"That's easy, Daddy," the young boy replied excitedly,"It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.."

   MORE GIGGLES! That pretty much nails it, Joyce! Thanks!


        From My #2 Son, Brent Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of TX - 10/21/12 - "Warrior Ethos":

  I've always been proud (and motivated) by the Soldier's Creed: http://www.army.mil/values/soldiers.html

This bit on the steps is the Warrior Ethos that is in the Soldiers Creed: http://www.army.mil/values/warrior.html

The only time I didn't enjoy it was during Basic in the CS chamber right after we took our mask off and are feeling the gas burn your eyes and lungs. Most guys were told to say their name and maybe mothers' maiden name, followed by Drill Sergeant. Then they would exit the chamber. Well, one of the other platoon Drills thought it would be a good idea to have me say the Warrior Ethos. I knew I knew it...but it took me what seemed forever to compose myself, start off the Soldier's Creed in my head and then recite the Warrior Ethos part. I said it correctly. Actually I forgot the Drill Sergeant part, and he still let me go. Didn't realize I forgot to render that respect until I thought on the scene later...

 
 

   Thank you so much, Brent! Hooah!

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 10/21/12:

An old man walks into a bar, sits down, and starts crying.

The bartender asks, “What’s wrong?” The old man looks at the bartender through

Teary eyes and between sobs says, “I married a beautiful woman two days ago. She’s a natural blonde, twenty-five, intelligent, a marvelous cook, a meticulous housekeeper,
extremely sensitive to my wants and needs, very giving, my best friend, and intensely passionate in bed.”

The bartender stares at the old man for a brief moment and says, “But that sounds great! You have what every man wants in a woman, so why are crying?”

The old man looks at the bartender and says, “I can’t remember where I live!”

A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes

Written and composed by Mack David (05 July 1912 – 30 Dec 1993), Al Hoffman (25 Sept 1902 – 21 July 1960)
and
Jerry Livingston (25 Mar 1909 - 01 July 1987) for the Walt Disney film Cinderella (1950)

Sung by Ilene Woods (05 May 1929 – 01 July 2010), 1950
 

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
