10/22/10 - "Whispering Grass":
Hi, Carol: It is sure nice to receive the regular edition of your Newsletter, and your selection of the quote by C. S. Lewis was particularly nice and greeted me with great joy this day. He is among my favorite authors as well. Your hard work is most appreciated, and never taken for granted. (Phil. 1:6) TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Thank you so much,
Adonis!
Not
really being the scriptorian I would wish to be, I checked your New
Testament reference - but I wasn't really sure whether the abbreviation
was for Philippians or Philemon, though I rather like them both!
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: - Philippians 1: 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. |

10/22/10 - "Buddy Lex of NNHS":
Carol,
I don't know when Buddy Lex
graduated from NNHS. He will be inducted into the Lower
Peninsula Athletic Hall of fame at the banquet to be
held 5/15/2011. I have attached the news release
generated by the Hampton City Dept that maintains the
records and manages the Hall.
I don't know if you keep a record
of the NNHS members, but here is the link:
BUDDY LEX Lex graduated from Newport News High School and the College of William and Mary, where he was a triple-threat tailback. In 1949, Lex threw 18 touchdown passes, a national record at that time. Also in 1949, Lex was runner-up to Sam Snead as the state’s athlete of the year. Lex also played basketball in high school and was a two-year starter at William and Mary. http://www.nnhs65.com/JWDVT/hall-of-fame-press-release.doc Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, Joe! ![]() ![]() |
From
Wayne
Stokes ('65) of VA - 10/22/10 - "Elder Banking":
True? In any case it is worth the
read because it covers, I think, the issues we all feel.
86-year Old Lady's Letter to Bank Dear Sir: I noticed that whereas
I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to
contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging,
pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.

10/23/10 - "Messick Shoot":
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 10/20/10 - "What Do You Mean 'If?'":
(A Good Message From
Mountain Wings) What Do You Mean "If?" I remember someone asking my father, the owner of a successful business, "What will happen to the business if you die?" "What do you mean if?" my father replied. "I am going to die; it's just a question of when, not if," he stated. So he began the preparation of his sons to handle and carry on the business. After his passing at nearly 80, the business not only survived but grew. There were no succession squabbles, there was no contesting or arguing over the will; Daddy had taken care of all of that. When my brother unexpectedly died in 2000 at the age of 38, he did not have a will. We learned the hard way of the turmoil and unnecessary hardship on surviving family members when there is no will. http://www.mountainwings.com/past/1037.htm 70% of American adults don't have a will. They have the immortality complex: that they will live forever or surely not die within the next 50 years. No one thinks they will die next year or this year. You may live forever, but not in these bodies. You may live another 50+ years but maybe not. A will is usually quite simple and inexpensive. If you are worth less than a million dollars, you really don't need a lawyer. Use software such as Quicken® Willmaker Plus. It's around $40 from www.nolo.com. You can have your will filled out and printed in less time than it takes to watch a television program; and that small amount of time and money will save people whom you love a whole lot of hassle, extra taxes, and possibly peace. If you feel more comfortable going to a lawyer, great! Just get it done one way or the other. Many of us read the Bible regularly. The Old Testament and New Testament is in essence, the Old Will and New Will. That's why we often call our wills our Last Will and Testament. We read the wills but most have not followed the example of writing our wills. Take a few minutes, get the software or go to your lawyer. Many dread doing it because it reminds them that one day they will die. Duh! Do the right thing because it's not a question of if. ~A MountainWings Original~ "Five Reasons Why I Don't Have A Will" by Wayne Patterson (comical but often true) One: I hate my children and want them to never speak to each other again after the battle over my estate. Two: I hate my spouse and want him or her to suffer the agony of attempting to probate my estate without a will. Three: I think foster care is great, and I want my minor children placed there while a court decides which greedy relative will get custody. Four: My family doesn't need the money so I want the government to take as much of my estate for taxes as possible. Five: I have reliable information that I am never going to die. Read a good article on wills here: http://www.smartmoney.com/estate/index.cfm?story=basics Thank you so much for this valuable information, Shari! ![]() |

Lyrics by
Paul Francis Webster
(20 Dec 1907 – 18 Mar 1984), September, 1965
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so, so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
