Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Oh, c'mon, you
know how it is once
Frank
starts singing to me.
Besides,
I already had the matching graphics!
I'm
giving you both of his recorded versions. Oh, sure, several other people
recorded it as well, but seriously, it's all about Frank!
(The
second one is much more beautiful than the first. How nice to improve with
age!)

Hi Typhoons,
Just got word that there is going to be a "Breakfast Brunch" in Croaker (Williamsburg) this Saturday at 9am at the Candlelight Kitchen Rest. The Class of 1960 invites any and all the members of NNHS to attend.
Directions: Take I-64 to Croaker Exit 231A-Norge, go 1 1/2 miles to
Richmond Road, go through light, look for shopping center on left, Candlelight Rest on
right. This is the information that I received today. I have not been able to
send any of this info due to all power out due to storm. Just now 11:25pm got
power back on. Hope to see lots of my 1962 folks there. Pat (Merilic -
'62) and Gene ('60) Duncan
will be there along with lots of other NNHS grads. Hope weather holds out for
you to make it.
Yesterday is history.

From
Glenn Dye
('60) of TX - 11/12/09 - "RE:
#2 Son,
Brent Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90) of TX":
Hi Carol,
I noticed your son in uniform and that he lives in Texas. Is he stationed near Fort Hood where all the shooting took place?
Glenn Dye
No, Glenn, blessedly, he isn't. Brent's stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso several hundred miles away from the site of the tragedy (you know how gia-normous Texas is!).
Thank you so much
for your thoughtfulness, Glenn!
I'm still trying to locate a complete list of the names of the wounded, as we've known so very many soldiers in the last eight years. I finally did find these articles:

I also found this story which may interest all you quilters out there:

From Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH - 11/12/09 - "remembering veterans":
My dad
was career Air Force. My ex was career Army; his father was career Air
Force, and died on active duty in 1967. Most of my male relatives
served, as did many of my friends. There is a temporary residence for homeless veterans here in Manchester, NH and two more 20 miles south in Nashua, and up in Tilton perhaps 50 miles north is the State Veterans Home for elderly and disabled veterans. These places are flooded with gifts and donations and visitors on Veterans' Day, on Memorial Day, on the 4th of July. The rest of the year they scramble to meet needs. So I say thank you, as often as I can, at other times. Toss a turkey and a whole boneless pork loin and a couple of bags of frozen shrimp and some vegetables and sauces and gravies in the car and drop it off at Liberty House some Saturday morning early when they weren't expecting it. Pick up extra toiletries when they are on sale and I have a coupon until I have several bagfuls of toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, dental floss, paper towels, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, first aid supplies, etc. to drop off. Bake a couple of cakes and 5 loaves of homemade bread and drop them off. Take up a collection from my little Druid congregation-- we don't usually take up collections!-- and go buy useful things-- heavy socks and gloves, with winter coming, to go over. Veterans' Day should be every day.
WOWZERONI!
How very thoughtful of you, Domi!

"This is great!":
This sounds like a
great idea to me..............my account # is...................... Economic Solution
This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday, February
8, 2009. "How Would You Fix the Economy?"
There're about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance with stipulations. They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed. They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed. They either buy a house/pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.
I love this! Thanks,
Robert!

FINALLY:
From
ArcaMax
Jokes - 11/12/09:
Eating Chocolate
Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from
either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which places them in the
vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.
The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car.
The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your
appetite, and you'll eat less.
Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at
least you'll get one thing done.
If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An
entire garment industry would be devastated. You can't let that happen, can you?
*************
Baseball
There was a knock at the door. It was a small boy, about six years old.
Something of his had found its way into my garage, he said, and he wanted it
back.
Upon opening the garage door, I noticed two additions: a base- ball and a broken
window sporting a baseball-sized hole. "How do you suppose this ball got in
here?" I asked the boy.
Taking one look at the ball, one look at the window, and one look at me, the boy
exclaimed, "Wow! I must have thrown it right through that hole!"

Frank Sinatra,
1946 and 1960
You go to my head and
you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
