NEWS FLASH:

  From Sandye Jordan Murray ('67) of VA - 10/28/09 - "Henry Jordan (Warwick HS - '54)":

Carol,

Last night my uncle Henry Jordan (Warwick 1954 graduate and UVA 1958 graduate I believe) was inducted into the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame at Norfolk Scope.  I was honored to accept for him as he passed away in 1977.  He played Defensive Tackle for the Green Bay Packers in the 1960s and was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1995. A lot of our classmates, especially the guys, would remember him playing at that time.  It is great that he is still being remembered by our community.

Sandye Jordan Murray (NNHS Class of ’67)

   WOWZERONI-ROONI! That's fabulous, Sandye! Thanks so much for letting us know!

    From Linda May Bond Crayton ('66) of VA - 10/28/09 - "    Bill Hobbs' ('66 - of Northern VA) info":

Thanks Bill, that explains a lot. I married a sailor. I knew he had to be drunk!

Linda May ' 66

   WILD GIGGLES! You're a hoot, Linda May! Thanks!

    From Pat Beck Letzinger ('57) of VA - 10/28/09 - "I'm Famous ! ! !":

Hi Carol,

Guess what?  I'm famous!  Today I was shopping, and when I was checking out I had to show my I. D.  The check-out lady asked me if I ever went to Newport News High School?  I replied "yes", not recognizing her at all.  She said she thought she recognized my name from somewhere, and she suddenly remembered seeing my name on the NNHS65 Newsletter site. Ha Ha 

Just thought you might get a kick out of my little bit of fame.

Pat Beck Letzinger, Class of '57

   That's hysterical, Pat, thanks! I wonder who she was?!? OH - and congratulations! It's GOOD to be famous!

  From Shirley Eanes Matthews ('66) of VA - 10/28/09 - "re: Hank Maloney":

Thanks for including Hank Maloney’s obit. He was married to Bessie Lee Underhill Bell. His two stepdaughters were NNHS until Dorothy moved to the Eastern Shore; she would have been in the class of 66. Linda was probably in the class of 69. My family lived next door to the girls’ maternal grandparents, George and Estelle Underhill, on Oak Avenue and we were close until we all scattered. Hank was a really nice guy and I’m sure is missed by many, many people.

I attempted to contact Dorothy last year, but I guess I had a bad email address. If she sees this, maybe she’ll contact me. I sure hope so.

Shirley

   Thank you, Shirley; I hope so, too!

   From Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 10/28/09 - "Long live the queen":

Pretty cool series of photos.

Long live the queen! This puts her age into perspective.....come to think of if, it puts mine into perspective too. She will out live all of us! Long live the Queen.

   Thanks so much, Bill! One of my sharpest childhood memories is of watching Queen Elizabeth's coronation on television. It was Tuesday, June 2, 1953.

From Norris Perry (Warwick - '59) of VA - 10/28/09 - "What is butt dust?":

These are just too cute and funny not to pass along.

   GIGGLES!! Thanks, Norris!

ABBREVIATED ALERT:

   Thanks, Jane!

From ArcaMax Jokes - 10/28/09:

Repairs

When a guy's printing on his printer began to grow faint, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned.

Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told him he might be better off reading the printer's manual and trying the job himself.

Pleasantly surprised by his candor, he asked, "Does your boss know that you discourage business?"

"Actually, it's my boss's idea," the employee replied sheepishly. "We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first."

DATES TO REMEMBER:

2. Friday , Saturday, and Sunday, August 6, 7, and  8, 2010 - The NNHS Class of 1960 will hold its 50-Year Reunion at the Marriott Newport News at City Center. For details, contact Karen Weinstein Witte at  kwitte@tampabay.rr.com - CLASS OF 1960

Oh How the Years Go By 

Written by Simon Climie and Will Jennings

Recorded by Amy Grant, 1994

Recorded by Vanessa L. Williams, 1997
 

In our times of trouble
We only had ourselves
Nobody else
No one there to save us
We had to save ourselves

And when the storms came through
They found me and you, ooh back together
And when the sun would shine
It was yours and mine, yours and mine forever

And oh how the years go by
Oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by

There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
We came around and how we rolled and rambled
We got lost but we got found

Now we're back on solid ground
We took everything all our times would bring
In this world of danger
'Cause when your heart is strong
You know you're not alone in this world of strangers

And oh how the years go by
Oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
(Ooh)
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by
(Oh how the years go by)

And if we lose our way
Through any night or day
Well, we'll always be
(Always be)
Where we should be
( We should be)
I'm there for you
(There for you)
And I know you're there for me
(Oh and how)
As the years go by
(Ooh)
You know you're not alone in this world of strangers

And oh how the years go by
Oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by
(Oh how the years go by)

As the years go by
Oh, how the love brings tears to my eyes
And all through the changes the soul never dies
(Ooh)
We fight, we laugh and we cry
(Ooh)
(Cry)
As the years go by

(Oh how the years go by)
Oh how the years go by
Shh bee do, oh how the years go by
Now oh how the years go by
Woh oh how the years go by
As the years go by
(Oh how the years go by)
As the years go by
(Oh how the years go by)
(Oh how the years go by)
(Oh how the years go by)
