11/15/05 - NNHS Newsletter - One Step Closer
|
|
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
| Today's
Newsletter, which should have been ready hours ago, was all about images.
Unfortunately, I'm doing something wrong today, and most of the images I've
tried to upload had other ideas. So we're doing something a bit
different tonight. As this is of necessity a totally imageless
Newsletter, the music was chosen by my 18-year old daughter because of its
obvious suitability to the occasion. It matches my mood exactly.
GROWL............. (And I'm usually such a Sweetie-Pie,
Too!) WILD GIGGLES!!!
Moreover, most of what I had
planned will wait until another day..... |
BIRTHDAYS:
Today is
the birthday of My Niece, Shari, of VA. Happy Birthday, Shari!
I hope you had a better day
than I did, Lady!

Carol, I loved the panoramic picture of the Reunion. What a great looking group! Do you recall how many students there were in your original graduating class?

Hi, Chandler Darlin'!
I do indeed remember!
There were 304 who actually walked across the stage with us. NNHS was a
much smaller school than HHS, n'est pas?
Of course, the way I count
things, we were a much larger group. For instance, the Memorial page
contains a goodly number (at least six) who did not graduate with us, but
are ours, nonetheless:

From Joe Drewry ('58) of VA - 11/14/05:
Super news, Joe! Thanks for telling us! I posted a note at the top of the website, and added the full description to the reunion page: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion-page.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Holiday-Dinner-58-05.html - brand new page While I was there I started the cover page for the Reunion Images of the Class of 1965 Reunion last month: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/REUNION-PICTURES-2005.html - brand new page Now all I have to do is
fill in the blanks, as most of these proposed links are still only
proposals. They only work if they're underlined. Hopefully,
those that are underlined actually work....... YOWZERS!!! |

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL and Bobby Turpin ('58) of VA - 11/13/05 - "Turpin military pictures":
|
Hi, Carol:
We have a photo of Bobby Turpin ('58) of VA in USAF uniform
in this message. Bobby also sends along another photo of Willie Turpin
('57) of VA in work uniform, and a photo of the ship he served in
while on active duty with the Navy.
Hope this helps.
Joe
Hi JOE:
I found three pictures you might like to
see. I am standing by a captured WW II German "B 1" Buzz Bomb on Lackland
AFB, TX during my Basic Training.
The ship is one of the vessels that Willie was stationed on. AKA 107 was named Vermilion. The picture of him and John was taken on that ship. In addition, Willie served on the Destroyer Escort, DD 703, Wallace L. Lind, commonly called a "Tin Can". I looked on the internet and found that the Lind was given to South Korea in Dec. 1973 after completing her USN service. She is still in their service. If I can come up with another pictures I will send them to you. Take care and I would love to have you over for lunch or dinner when you get back to the area. My wife Anne (Sawyer Turpin - '65) is a great cook.
Your friend,
Bobby Turpin (NNHS'58)

As far as I can
tell - and I may be cuckoo - these three images actually work on the pages where
they're
"posta" be. They just won't work here!

Thanks so much, Bobby and Joe! They're great, and a super addition to our pages!
From Jo Ann Stewart ('64) of TX - 11/15/05 - "Confirmation on who doesn't own Huntington Hall":

Hi Carol,
OK, I had to find out for sure so here you go - right from the "horse's mouth":
"Thank you
for contacting Northrop Grumman Newport News.
NGNN does
not own Huntington Hall. Please contact the city for more info."

Stewart
"WAL, SHUT MY MOUF!" Thanks so much for verifying that for us, Jo Ann! Now we know! |
Just as an
experiment, I tried to add another simple page with an image I had previously
scanned to see
what would happen.

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/cofer-motors.html - brand new page
I may be wrong, but I think it worked!
From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 11/15/05 - "There are advantages to being short...":
| First of all, as it was pointed out,
you are never taller than any of the guys...secondly you can always get
someone to help you put your carry-on bag in the overhead bin on the
plane because any moron can see that you could not possibly do it yourself.
Ditto reaching things off of the top shelves at the supermarket...I have a
marvelous little thing called a
gopher...that grasps
things from the top shelves at home...it is great unless you are grasping
something heavy and drop it on a piece of crystal or some other valuable
thing you forgot to put away! Also you never have to clean the top of the
refrigerator because it just "does not exist" in your world! Needlesstosay
I keep a step ladder handy! My mother used to say "my counters are
cluttered because I am so short...I have to have everything within my
reach" and I thought she was just making excuses for being messy...but I
have discovered that she was right...at least about that!
WILD OUTRAGEOUS
GIGGLES!!! Thanks a lot, Jean! I really needed that laugh! |
I'll be back again tomorrow - I hope - and I further hope more things will work properly then!
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

One Step Closer
(Linkin Park)
I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
[chours:]
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before
[chours (x2)]
shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up, shut up, shut up
I'm about to BREAK
[chours (x2)]
