your homework! |

From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 11/09/05:
Today's Thought: When you're sad, feeling blue, just step outside and look to the Heavens. Unless there's a meteor shower. Then you need to run for cover, 'cause boy, they're hot, and they really hurt! 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! |

Thank you so much, Al! And my deepest gratitude to you and all the other Marines in our midst for services rendered to our nation. 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
![]() Also, we have ![]() We are not without resources. D 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!) |
From Tom Oxner ('65) of AR
- 11/09/05:
Thanks to all of you who have posted
photos of the 40th Reunion. I was
unable to attend :( , but it is good to see photos of classmates who
were able to attend. The Magical Mystery Tour of NNHS sounds like a
great
trip down memory lane!
We missed you, Tom - and it was!
WOWZERONI!!! That doesn't look especially "just local" from
where I was reading! That is waaaay cool! Congratulation
to you and Luke! Thank you, Tom! I do enjoy it! |
From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63 - of MD) to
June Veneris
Collie (Hampton HS - '62) of VA - 11/09/05:
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.

Yes, that's true, June. As a matter
of fact, Chandler himself, bless his heart, instituted that practice. And I'm afraid this is as close as I could find for you - but it did give us a new page on "Our Old Stomping Grounds": http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-stomping.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-N-R.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/nick-veneris.html - brand new page |

From
Chip Clark
('65) of Northern VA - 11/07/05 - "..graduation era images!..":
(As I wanted to send this out as early as possible, I still haven't finished at
the moment of the release
of this Newsletter. Perhaps by
the time you read it I'll have them all posted!)
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Bonus-ChipsPix.html
Thanks again, Chip! I'm sorry I'm such a slowpoke!
From Me ('65) of NC - 11/09/05:
This posting
is extremely premature, but it will let you know that I am at least working
on the problem. I'll return to it after I finish working on Chip's
glorious images: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-car-dealerships.html - brand new section |

OH, COOL BEANS!!! 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! |

From Kathy Pilgrim Clark ('63) of VA - 11/09/05:
I thought I was
just seeing with old eyes until I saw ![]() 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. http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Magical-Mystery-Tour-05.html 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 KC 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!

D 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! |
