Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
As it's
Friday, this would normally be a regular newsletter, but it's not just
any Friday. Today is the 231st Birthday of the United States
Marine Corps, and you all know what that means. It means we're going
to celebrate. We would have been doing this much earlier in the day, and using all those many images - including all the great Halloween pictures which we still have not seen, but my computer decided to celebrate in its own way early this morning and I've been fighting for repossession of its former self all day, so all those things are out of the question for the moment. Like a spoiled child, my computer and my camera always seem to pick State Occasions to be naughty. I'm going to cut it short and hope for more inclusions tomorrow, but now it's time for your homework. It's all in here: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/11-10-04-NNHS-Happy-Birthday-USMC.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/11-10-05-NNHS-USMC-230th-Birthday.html I did find one fun new site for you. This is great! You can listen to clips and sing along, because the complete lyrics are included to some great old Marine songs: http://www.gyrene.com/songbook.htm Semper Fidelis to all you Marines out there from one of your all-time biggest fans! |
OTHER
BIRTHDAYS:
From One of my
Famous Marines -
Herb Hice of MI, who
served in the Pacific Theater
during WWII - 11/09/06

From Sandi Williams Patrick ('64) to
Cookie Phillips Tyndall ('64) of VA - 11/08/06:
...... We are in Dayton, Ohio right
now because Harlee's mom died earlier this week. The funeral is
tomorrow and it is hitting Harlee pretty hard. I think I'm ready for
2007 because this year sucks.
..... Just thought you would like to know. Thanks, Cookie; I appreciate your telling us. Sandi, please give Harlee our deepest sympathies in the loss of his mama. Losing a parent is just never easy, and it doesn't seem to matter how old you are or how close we are. The situations are all different, but the difficulty always seems to remain. And I, the eternal optimist, am afraid I will grudgingly have to agree with you about this year. There have been a few moments of spectacular beauty and hope, but I really think they shone all the brighter because most of the year was just so - unpleasant and hard... But maybe it's just me.....
Thank you, Ladies!

Thank you for telling me this, David. I would not have caught it.
It seems to me your
family - your extended family, at any rate, has been touched more than its
fair share by sadness this month. Our deepest sympathies to you, and
also to Tootsie on the loss of her uncle.

From the President of the Class of 1965, Joe Wingo of NC - 11/10/06:
Carol, you dear, sweet woman, Even in the midst of trying times, you think of others first!! You are amazing. Yes, I realize there are some that cannot afford to help out. I accept that. There are, however, others that can contribute more as an offset....... My only goal here is to relieve you of an unfair burden. You do so much for so many and it’s time some of that effort come back to you. I want to convert your slogan “Y’all take care of each other” into actions to take care of you now. Take care of yourself. Love, Joe
Joe, you
incredible Sweetie-Pie! |
From George Helliesen ('61) of MI - 11/10/06 - "Survival":
From One of my
Famous Marines -
Herb Hice of MI, who
served in the Pacific Theater
during WWII - 11/10/06
- "Dear Carol, Phantom of The Opera ,
Newsletter Music":
Well now, Back to the Phantom of The Opera !!! Tempus Fugit, Your Friend, Herbie Herbie,
you Sweetie-Pie, you take my breath away... That's an idea, though... I've kept careful track of who sent what and when, but many of them were confidential, and therein lies the rub. Some of them wanted to be anonymous from the world, and many of them even wanted to be kept unknown to me. But we could definitely keep such a page someway.... Anyway, thank
you so much, Herbie Darlin'! You are definitely my hero - in many,
many ways!

From Robert
Price ('61) of - VA?? to
Elaine Wilkinson Bracken ('61) of VA -
11/10/06:
Elaine, thank you.
I guess since I haven’t attended any of
the class reunions and I moved away from the area I thought I might not be
remembered. I didn’t socialize much in high school, classes and sports
were about it for me there. Thank you for using the word ‘handsome’. I
don’t think anyone has used that term with me for a very long time. Having
beautiful girls stare at me never makes me uncomfortable, then or now. It
just doesn’t happen any more. I do remember YOU quite well. You signed my
Anchor with my other name. You’re very lucky I didn’t ask you out,
although I thought about it. You were just too sweet. As I recall, I
really only dated one girl at NNHS, Phyllis Rose, class of ‘62 and
one from Warwick, Linda Capps, WHS class of ‘62. Robert, I probably should have asked you before I published this. I sent it to Elaine, and started to leave it at that, but it was just so charming, I couldn't seem to stop myself. I try to remind people on a regular basis that I have little to no judgment whatsoever, and if something should be kept confidential, it would be best to tell me in Big Bold Print. But it struck a deep chord within me for several reasons, and I'm sure it will with many others. Thank you for sending it! Oh, yes, if you're "away from the area", where are you?!? I've been saying "VA", but you could be in Timbuktu, for all I know. Thanks, Robert!

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
