Todd (Givens - '65 - of Northern VA) asked that I send this picture to you.  Like so many others have commented, the Reunion was just wonderful.  The Reunion Committee really outdid themselves and thanks to them for all their hard work! 
It was great to see you and    Eleanor (Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of

   Thanks, Bob!  We're always delighted to add new people!  I remember Bernie and Frank and Steve very well.  I was a Stuart Gardens kid myself.

   Frank Friedland ('60 - of VA) and the ever gorgeous Steve Veazey ('60 - of VA) have been on our mailing list for some time:  I enjoyed talking with Steve this summer at his reunion (such a crush I had on that man when I was in the seventh grade!).

   If you'll send the others my email addy - NNHS65@yahoo.com, I'll be happy to add them as well.  I really  appreciate having the input of different perspectives.

   Thank you for the information about Allen Jewelry, for which you obviously have first-hand knowledge.  When I catch my breath, I'll create that page to add to Our Old Stomping Grounds.

   I'm glad you're enjoying the reunion images, Bob, because there are literally hundreds more to come!

   We really missed you, Kathy!  I'm so sorry you were unable to make it as you'd planned.  I've barely scratched the surface on telling you the story of that fabulous Tour.  Maybe next time!

   Thanks for checking in, Lady!

   You'll have no argument from me there, Jean!  Some of the prouder moments of my young life were when I was spotted on a date with Dale Mueller!  It was like an affirmation of my worth and value!  I may never have dated    Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63), but I did date Dale Mueller!

   And I didn't sneak out of my bedroom window at night to do it, either!

  From Me ('65) of NC - 10/26/05:

   HEY!!!  Would someone out there please explain to    Pam Smith Arnold ('65) of VA what a perfectly ludicrous idea this is?!?  I thought I had cleared this matter in her mind three years ago when she first told me.  My sister   (Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of NC) and I tried to explain this to her - again - to no avail.  Long-believed fairy tales cling tenaciously to the true believer, but this one is patently absurd.  I really don't even want to know who started such a story or why, but Pam seems to believe it was an unimpeachable source, and I've either forgotten it or am in denial.

   To review:  My mother and I shared a one-bedroom Stuart Gardens apartment at the time in question.  The window in question was right by my mama's bed!  I am such a wienie I can barely open a window, much less crawl out of one.  And can anyone really imagine my doing anything - anything at all - silently?!?  And it was totally unnecessary!  My mother didn't believe in the principle of "grounding" children (don't even get me started on that soapbox!) any more than I do.  She let me start dating when I was twelve, for Pete's sake!  (My own seven little darlings had to wait until they were sixteen.)  The only times she ever refused to let me go out on a date was when the fellow was on the phone and I was asking her if I could go out while furiously shaking my head "no". 

   I had but four rules - which I strictly obeyed.  One, I was to be home when I said I would, or call and let her know I was going to be late.  Two, if my plans changed and we were going somewhere else, I was to call and report that as well.  Three, I was not to ride in a car with anyone who had been drinking.  And four, whoever was driving was not to be doing so recklessly, or I was to get out, phone home, and she'd come and get me.

   I'm certain that I was no little angel, but I'm just as certain that I didn't sneak out of my bedroom window at night to go meet guys!  SHEESH!!!

   Hey, who were these guys anyway, Pam?!  I wanna know what I missed!
