Halloween.

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I couldn't decide which of these quotations I preferred for today, so I've given you a "Twofer".
The theme of this year's Halloween Newsletter was suggested by my darling
daughter,
Adrienne (Harty - of NC) Thanks, Adrienne!
 And
I think
just for fun, I'll repeat what I said in last year's Halloween edition: |
Don't even start
with me about the Evils of Halloween. I already told you that (assuming I
remembered them) we'd be celebrating all holidays together, whether we
personally and individually observed them or not. Not that I'm a crabby old
woman or anything...

From Fred Field ('45) of CA - 10/26/06 - "NN Obituary Index":

Hello Carol, Thur. Oct. 26,
06
The NN Public Library has finally
made the "Obituary Project" available on the internet. I had heard a
little about the project on visits beginning in the 1990s but could
never find out what kind of result it would yield. Now we know - it is
an index of the obituaries appearing in the Newport News
newspapers. Unfortunately only the index is available over the
internet. To see the actual obituary it is still necessary to go to the
library and scroll microfilm.
The main newspapers over the years were
the Daily Press (morning) and Times Herald (afternoon). In the
beginning they were owned separately, but eventually they became the
property of one company. Earlier there had been other newspapers but
they did not survive when Daily Press and Times Herald became
dominant. The last Times Herald appeared Aug. 30, 1991. After that
the Daily Press became the only daily in NN.
The index can be accessed by going to:
www.nngov.com/library
This message is displayed on the opening
page:
Welcome to our Obituary Index. The main
source of these obituaries is the Daily Press, which has been the City
of Newport News’ local paper since 1898. The current obituary index
covers 1898 to 1949. Also, there are small portions indexed in each
decade of the 1950’s, 1960’s 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s. This index also
covers obituaries from the Times-Herald from 1902 to 1915. Additions
are made to the obituary index on a regular basis, so please keep
checking this site.
The Daily Press itself has an online
index of all of their articles from 1989 to the present, which you can
visit at
www.dailypress.com.
Missing Issues: There are occasional issues missing in
other years as well. If you are unable to find an obituary listing this
may be one of the reasons why.
There are several ways to initiate a
search, not all with the same result. I found an obituary ID using one
method but not with another. I expect the site mechanics still need to
be polished. Also some obits seemed to be missing - I could not find
the ones for my father or grandfather, although I have the actual
clippings.
Don't forget that the obituries are
indexed by surname at the time of death. Thus married women would have
an obituary in their married names although in some cases an obituary is
also indexed for a woman's maiden name. Not sure if this was done in
every case when the obituary mentioned a maiden name. My guess is that
some of the transcribers may have done this and some not.
Here are some date realities:
Tombstones always give death dates,
although sometimes the year only. Ditto for birth dates. Sometimes you
may see such as "Died 19XX in his seventy fourth year."
A cemetery office usually records the
date of burial - sometimes more dates. Old entries often included cause
of death.
.
Dates on official death records depend on
the accuracy of whoever gave the report. No one checks.
Social Security records (SSDI) always
give a full birth date, but seldom have more than the month and year of
death. They do give the place of death (ZIP) - which is useful in
sorting out your John Smith from the others.
Also remember that obit. publishing
dates follow the death dates - sometimes by quite an interval.
The NN Public Library is now at 110 Main
Street in Hilton. Phone 757/591-4858. The Virginiana Room is where all
the good stuff is. Gregg Grunow is the Chief Librarian in
there. From Warwick Boulevard go east and turn right just before the
Fire Station. Plenty of parking behind the library.
Fraternal best wishes,
Fred

WOWZERS!!!
Thanks so much for this valuable bit of information, Fred!
As the number of avid genealogists among us seems to increase at a steady
rate, this is certain to be appreciated by a great many!

From Jerry Blanchard ('62) of VA - 10/29/06 - "Football history":

Good afternoon, folks.
I need help. If anyone out there knows how I can increase the size of the pictures I sent in, I would really like help in doing so. I am really not that good with this thing. But I try. Jerry Blanchard (class of 62) of Va. Hi, Jerry! I'm of the firm opinion that while there are a few souls out there who actually know what they're doing, most of us need help. I also firmly believe that there are several ways to do things on the computer, and if I know how to do something one way, I'm thrilled. If I know how to do the same task in another way as well, I'm beyond delighted. Many of y'all assume that
because I do what I do, I actually know what I'm doing. This is not even
close to the reality of the situation. When I launched this website in
July of 2000, I could barely open an email. I didn't even know how to
cut and paste. In fact, up until October of 2000, I was doing no more
than dictating to my #5 son,
It wasn't until I attended the 35-Year Reunion for the Class of 1965 exactly six years ago, that I felt guilty enough for taking credit for something that I wasn't doing, that I decided to learn how to do it myself. And I have learned how to do some things, but still frequently call for back-up. In fact, I enlisted Nathaniel's help again this morning because I've seriously messed up some settings on my computer somewhere. All that said, here are some things I know, while we wait to hear from someone who actually knows the answer. There are several ways to scan images, and there are several ways to send them. As you are using MSN to send them, I think - think - they are only allowed to be of a certain size, and therein lies the problem. I just discovered (to my chagrin) that such images do not wait around for me to save them, but will disappear within a week.......... It is also possible that
when my #6 son,
At any rate, Sweetie, we
certainly appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending us those treasures, as
well as your efforts in getting them here to us. |

Dear Carol,
I have been showing you
pictures of my "Way back when" life (Herbie-B.C. - Before Carol
that is). |
|||
|
Here is a picture of me at approximately 15 years old on my Harley Davidson. This was before helmets were required, and like a lot of motorcycle riders, I was hit by a car at an intersection and went flying over the handlebars, skidding on my hands and knees. I was very lucky as I only had minor scrapes on my hands and knees. I was very thankful that GOD did not want to see me yet !!!
YOWZERONI!!! So are we!

Hi, Carol:
Checking out the Old Neighborhoods, and viewing the
recent photos taken by
Dave Spriggs ('64 - of VA) of 53rd Street and
Huntington Avenue in North End sure brought back memories.
The house facing Huntington Avenue on the North East
Corner of this intersection was the residence of Dr. Price and his family.
My late classmate of NNHS 1957,
Adrienne Price was his daughter. They
maintained a lovely home in this neighborhood. We lived two doors north,
at the corner of Huntington Avenue and 54th Street when I was a Junior and
Senior TYPHOON and have fond memories of this fine neighborhood. A VIP
Gate for the Newport News Shipyard was on 54th Street, and only used on
special occasions such the launching and christening of vessels. I
understand most recently it was the gate used by the Bush family when they
came to the yard for that purpose.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Thanks, Adonis! I
always appreciate your eye for detail - and your willingness to share it
with us! |
From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA to the Class of 1964 - 10/15/06 - "NNHS 60TH
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION":
|
Fellow Classmates.
I wanted to thank all of you for attending our
Birthday Celebration. I hope that you had a memorable evening.
I also hope that you took lots of candid photos of
your classmates, of Ms. Kanter ... and of
"THE KING".
I know that those who could not attend (and other
NNHS classes) would love to see all of your
photos. The best way to make that happen is to let Carol Buckley Harty
('65 - of NC) place them on the NNHS Web Page.
And, the best way to do that is to send them all to me, so that I can
archive them to my hard drive before sending them along to Carol.
You can attach them to e-mails, if you wish, but I
can handle any media.
For e-mails, send them to:
nnhs64@cox.net
For "snail mail" send them to: NNHS CLASS OF
1964, P.O. BOX 6387, Norfolk VA 23508-0387
It was great seeing all of you.
TYPHOONS FOREVER,
Dave Spriggs

Let's Do the Time Warp Again
-
Richard O'Brien, 1975
It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again...
Let's do the time warp again!
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let's do the Time Warp again!
