5. From George Konstant ('65) of VA - 10/16/10 - Q.: "When did 'blue and gold' acquire the actual shades of 'navy and burnt orange' - and who was responsible?"

   From Fred Field (June '45) of CA - 10/16/10 - "Old Beacon Entries":

To Edna (Whitcomb) Harrison ('65 - of VA) and      Carol (Buckley) Harty ('65 - of IL), Sat. Oct. 16

Hello Ladies,

To Edna: Attached are the end results of your generous contributions. Copies have now gone out to those who knew the two subjects.

To Carol: This may or may not be something you would like to use. As you can see, the added text focuses on amateur radio. Probably not more that a dozen of your many readers would find that part interesting.

On the other hand, it is a rare glimpse of what when into the Beacons of that era. So do what you wish. No need to use both in one issue. Also, feel free to delete anything.

Note that Walt Walker was a classmate of Julie Conn (June '22), whose entry appeared in a recent newsletter.

Nostalgic best wishes,

Fred

   Fred, with as many subscribers and other readers as we have, there are a sizable number who will find this as fascinating as I did! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

From Glenn Dye ('60) of TX - 10/16/10 - "MY DOCTOR'S VISIT":

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"

"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE? :)

Thanks, Glenn!

From Sarah Puckett Kressaty ('65) of VA - 10/16/10 - "This will be you tomorrow!":

I figure it couldn't hurt!!

Sarah Kressaty

This will be you tomorrow!
A little Angel for you......

You have just been sent a Financial Abundance angel!
Pass her to two people, and be rich in four days.
Pass her to six then be rich in two days.
You ARE already rich!!!
I am not joking; you will find an un-expected windfall.
If you delete her, you will never know how she works?

She really does work like magic!
NO Pass Backs. Pay HER forward *** Pass it on.

Apparently This is the e-mail that the employee's at ATB in Edmonton passed around before they won the big lottery last year.

Let's hope it works for you.

There are five things that you cannot recover in life:

(1) The Stone...........after it's thrown,
(2) The Word...............after it's said,
(3) The Occasion......after it's missed, and
(4) The Time.............after it's gone.
(5) A person...............after they die

If you delete it - you will beg! - seeing is believing.

MONEY ANGEL

This is a money angel. Pass it to 6 of your good friends or family and be rich in 4 days. Pass it to 12 of your good friends or family and be rich in 2 days.

I am not joking. You will find an unexpected windfall. If you delete it, you will beg. Trust me!!!

Why, Sarah Sugah, of course I trust you! I just sent this to over 650 of my closest friends and family. In two days I should be a billionaire! Say, I wonder if I could LOOK like the Financial Abundance Angel by then, too?!?

From Jerry ('65) and Judy Phillips ('66) Allen of VA - 10/16/10 - "HERE I AM LORD. BEAUTIFUL":

It was great seeing all of you.

Judy and Jerry

HERE I AM LORD

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL !

Turn on your sound and enjoy!

OH, WOW! Thank you, Sweetie Pies!

From My Cousin, Stuart Atkinson (Warsaw HS - '63) newly of CO - 10/16/10 - "Congressional Reform Act of 2010":

It will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message if you forward it on.

You can send this to anyone on your e-mail list including conservatives, liberals, and everybody in between; even though we disagree on a number of issues. This is a promotion for a "Congressional Reform Act of 2010." It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I know many will say "this is impossible." Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval rating of any entity in Government. Now is the time when Americans are able to join together to reform Congress - the entity that represents us.

We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These people will become American heroes.

**********************************

Congressional Reform Act of 2010

1. Term Limits.

   12 years only, one of the possible options below

   A. Two Six-year Senate terms
   B. Six Two-year House terms
   C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

2. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI (the Consumer Price Index) or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all of these special contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators who would serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, delete this email and remain part of the problem.

Thanks, Stu!

From Jerry ('65) and Judy Phillips ('66) Allen of VA - 10/16/10 - " Bald Eagle video--you won't be sorry you took the time to watch this!":

Challenger is no stranger to many of us. His story has been around. The video and song comes at a time to get us ready for serious voting next month. Think about what is best for saving America as well as the eagle. Get out and vote for those you feel will protect our heritage.

God bless us all!

I hope you will take the time to watch this one. It is awesome.

Music video featuring a special free-flying Bald Eagle named 'Challenger' (in honor of the lost space shuttle crew) cared for by the non-profit American Eagle Foundation (AEF).

He's a 'human-socialized' bird accidentally raised by the people who rescued him - after being blown from a wild Louisiana nest in a storm as a baby in the late 1980s. Declared 'non-releasable' by federal and state wildlife authorities, he was trained by the AEF to perform educational free-flight demonstrations at high profile public events.

He's the first Bald Eagle in U.S. History that learned to free-fly into stadiums, arenas and ballrooms during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. The celebrity eagle has appeared at numerous major sporting events like the World Series, Pro-Bowl, All-Star game, BCS National Championship, Fiesta Bowl, Men's Final Four, etc.

Challenger has also flown before 4 U.S. Presidents!

His life story is told in a children's storybook titled 'Challenger, America's Favorite Eagle.'
