   To quote my beloved grandmother, "Well, I declare!"

   There she is, all right!  Thanks so much for locating that for everyone, Joe!  I love seeing people reconnect!

   WOWZERS!!!  That's a pretty website!  And apparently it's in its early stages of development.  Thanks so much, Adonis!

   I will definitely be creating that page, Joe.  I thought I would have it done today, but it didn't happen.  Keep the faith.

They were cultural icons in their day.

   Oh, WOWZERS!!!  I remember those ads!  Thank you, David!
 

You may have Dad and Junior Suttle confused with "Little Joe's", which was established in 1971, is still in business and still has TV ads locally. See:  http://www.littlejoesautos.com/about.shtml

Of course, years ago someone else may have used the same catch line with "mother" rather than "wife"

It seems that Junior Suttle may still be in business. See: http://www.outerbankschamber.com/vguide/auto.cfm

   I hope you gentlemen didn't mind my posting your notes.  That's the danger of carboning me in on your correspondence.  I just might find it too fascinating not to print - as I did today.

   Thanks, Fellas!

Carol,

OK, here’s another one for you. How about the miniature wax bottles (sometimes in a miniature six-pack carton) that came full of different colored sweep syrupy liquid. We’d bite the cap off, suck out the syrup and then chew the wax…….at least I did. And wax lips……

   Oh, YES - absolutely!  The good news here is that you can frequently still find both of these items available to purchase.  It seems to me that Big Lots often has them, and I know those wonderful gooey syrupy filled wax bottles are available at Cracker Barrel.  I have to restrain myself every time I'm there to keep from falling prey to them.  Mmmmm, I do so love them!

Thank you, Chandler Darlin'! 

   Anyway, you were dressed as a witch, and I went as a gypsy, with lots of scarves and jewelry - and those red wax lips!  That was one of my favorite Halloweens ever!  I wish we had pictures of it!  Do you have any idea what year that was?  Any idea at all???

   Wait - it wasn't 1960, 'cause that's when I was dressed as a beatnik all in black and I went with    Janice (McCain Rose - '65 - of VA), and we stopped early and went to see her brother,    Judson (Jones - '59).

   And it wasn't 1959, 'cause that's when a big ol' bunch of us seventh graders went together, and I wore   Eleanor's (Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of NC) ice blue tulle evening gown and white stole and silver sandals (nothing quite like trick or treating in heels!) and lots of rhinestone jewelry, and then we all went to    Todd's (Givens - '65 - of Northern VA) house and sat on his front porch and played games - like "Cootie"!

   And it wasn't 1958, 'cause that the year    Mama (Maxine Frix Buckley - John Marshall HS - '25) made me that fabulous ancient Israelite costume out of a yellow flannel nightgown with some great striped yellow, blue and green fabric she appliquéd to it -  and more scarves, of course!  There was some trouble with my shepherd's hook, and I ended up missing connection with the crowd so I had to go by myself (but I filled up three brown shopping bags of loot in succession that night!) - GIGGLES!!!

   So, was it 1957?!?  When did y'all move up to Williamsburg?  I know you were there in 1959....  Oh, what became of my little pea brain.....

   WOWZERONI!!!  That's mighty impressive, Bruce!  Thanks so much, and stay tuned.  I'll be adding more of these car dealerships in the very near future.

I noticed    John Nickey is not mentioned in your memoriam page. I think he graduated in 1960 or 61. He died of cancer a few years ago. My sister sent me the obituary. He lived in Pennsylvania, I believe. I know you have a lot of ongoing research, but could you include his name? He was one of the three famous trumpet players in our band. Also, he was such a fine musician that he was chosen to be in President Kennedy's band. He was in the Navy.

Thank you again for keeping all of our "happy days" alive.

Judy Horton Lindstrom

   GASP!!!  There's a very good reason Johnny isn't mentioned, Judy.  I had no idea he had passed away.  He was actually a member of the Class of 1959, and those listings for that class - as well as for several others - are very sketchy.

   I've added him now:

   Anyone who ever heard those three young men play "Bugler's Holiday" still remembers it.  I think the notes are still ringing in the air.  One simply needs to be still for a moment, and they'll sound for you again.

   Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention, Judy.

   If y'all could each take some time to check those Memoriam pages, we don't want anyone excluded who should be there.  It isn't right.  And graduation from NNHS isn't a requirement, either.  If they were with us at any point in high school, they should be included.  If you have further biographical information on any of them, or if you'd care to post a remembrance of any of them, this is the place to do it as a lasting memorial to them.  Thank you all for your help.

Carol,
Please thank   Corky (Tom) Norris (Hampton HS - '73 - of VA) for the picture of his 3rd grade class.  It is one more that we now have of our Mom.  It is very special and I'd hug him with both arms if I could. 

KC

   I think you just did, Kathy!  Once more we'd like to express our sympathies on the death of your mother.  By the way, there was a flurry of activity trying to locate your home address so cards and notes could be mailed to you.  We narrowed it to three, so if you'd like to send me that, several of our subscribers could rest more easily.....
