   And you know, David, that is just so true!  I'm so glad you reminded us of this important piece of sage advice.

   Thank you, Gorgeous!  You are a hoot!

   Al paid me one of the grandest compliments of my life by making me an Honorary Marine.  WOWZERONI! Thanks again, Al - so very much!

If there ever existed a list of Daniel School students, I bet    Fred Mays ('60 - of VA) has or can get it.

Also, we have    Belinda Fortner Langston ('70 - of VA), who works in NN School Administration.

We are not without resources.

   You are right, of course, Captain.  I spoke too soon.  The fact that I am unaware of its existence is hardly a definitive statement of reality.

   (Sorry about that eighth grade photo, Belinda.  It's not my fault you were just a baby girl!  GIGGLES!  Hey - at least you were a CUTE little baby girl!)

   We missed you, Tom - and it was!

As a Certified Proud Dad, I refer you to the Arkansas Region Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) website http://www.arscca.org . My son, Luke, was the big winner this past weekend. Just local stuff, but great fun to a proud Dad.

   WOWZERONI!!!  That doesn't look especially "just local" from where I was reading!  That is waaaay cool!  Congratulation to you and Luke!

Thanks for the great job you do with this newsletter.

   Thank you, Tom!  I do enjoy it!

Hi, June!

Wow, it’s been a long time. It’s nice to here from you and about you. Isn’t this Newsletter something? It’s REALLY great! You realize, however, now that you have officially “come out of the closet”, you have to cough up a picture (then or now) to go with ALL future input.

   I bombed out trying to post your program, so I'll try this all again after I obtain some technical assistance, which was unavailable once more....

   That is going to be so super, Sarah Sugah!  Thanks for sharing that with us! 

   Meanwhile, those of y'all wanting to celebrate the Virginia Choral Society's 75th Season with Miss Sarah, just let one of us know!

   GIGGLES!!!  Thanks, Susanne!  She's singing my song - well, sorta! 

I thought I was just seeing with old eyes until I saw    Wayne Stokes' ('65 - of VA) posting about the gym.  I also missed the Huntington Avenue side seats that were missing in the photos you guys got on your tour.  I am so glad that Wayne saw the same thing I saw - the missing seats - or maybe I should say the seats I didn't see.  I was doubting my memories.  Thank you, Wayne, for remembering the seats I saw!  It is as if the Navy has built a wall there because they don't expect any spectators. 

   There were all sorts of walls built and walls removed - especially sectioning off parts of the halls.  The cafeteria was an exercise equipment area - heavily in use when we visited.  The choir room was missing altogether, and the band room had been converted into quarters, the band wing halls had been semi-paneled, and the flagtwirlers' dressing room was now a men's room.  As I said, it was just the same - only very, very different.

But I was one of those spectators and I missed seeing out seats!  I can remember having to stay late after school (I did live in Hampton) in order to get a seat for the JV game in order to have a seat for the varsity match!  It took some work on my part (and forbearance on my parent's part)  to allow me to stay for a game.  I remember the night    Jerry Powell ('64) went for a lay up, hit the wall and fell, breaking his knee cap.  I was probably a Junior so it had to have been the winter of 1962.  It was a real blow to our team for the rest of the night.

   Thanks, Kathy - and Wayne!  I suppose I was still too much in a trance at that early stage of the tour to pick up on that whole thing!

USMC Birthday is 10 November (1775 - 2005:  230 Years Old).

Are you plannin' sumpin' special??

I am sure that    Joe (Madagan - '57 - of FL) and    Chandler  (Nelms - Hampton HS - '63 - of MD), et. al.,  would be honored to have that day recognized publicly.

Check out this site:  http://www.marines.com/page/usmc.jsp   WAAAAYYYYY

   David, I have NO idea why my email chose to hide your letter for 17-1/2 hours before presenting it to me, but I didn't find it until noon today - about 90 minutes AFTER I posted the Newsletter!  ARGHHHH!!!

   I hope today's Newsletter was as special as I had intended it to be, but that site you found just increased its value three-fold.  Thank you so much!
