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!)

THIS DAY IN 1964:

Friday, November 13, 1964 - Musician Steve Wong Ka-Keung (Beyond) was born in Hong Kong.

    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:

  From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 11/10/09 - "It's called Christmas!!!!":

Carol, So glad your you're back!!!  We sure missed you but I'm sure you needed a break.  I just wanted to pass this on, it says what so many of us are thinking.  I hope it becomes the #1 Christmas song this year!!! click here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAckfn8yiAQ  Joyce Cahoon

GIGGLES! Thanks so much Joyce! I must say I prefer this to the South Park version of the same sentiment, which expresses the same idea a bit (okay, more than a bit) more crudely!

  From Robert Fulcher ('64) of VA - 11/10/09 - "This is great!":

  From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 11/12/09 - "Thinking Test":

ABBREVIATED ALERT:

   Thanks, Jane!

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!"
