100 YEARS AGO TODAY:

November 16, 1916 - World War I: First Battle of the Somme: In France, British Expeditionary Force commander Douglas Haig called off the battle which started on July 1, 1916.

THIS DAY IN WWII:

November 18, 1940 - German leader Adolf Hitler and Italian Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano met to discuss Benito Mussolini's disastrous invasion of Greece. Hitler was not aware of Mussolini's plan, which was not successful.

November 18, 1943 - Battle of Berlin: 440 Royal Air Force planes bombed Berlin causing only light damage and killing 131. The RAF lost nine aircraft and 53 air crew.

THIS DAY IN 1966:

Friday, November 18, 1966 - It would seem that nothing at all happened anywhere in the world today...

“First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.”
- Pastor Martin Niemöller
(20 July 1890 - 07 Aug 1961)

From Sarah Puckett Kressaty ('65) of VA - 11/17/16:

AMEN! Thank you, Sarah Sugah!

“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two! Does that sound right? That means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”
- Jerry Seinfeld
(b. 29 Apr 1954)

Once in a While

Music by Michael Edwards (1893-1962)
Lyrics by Bud Green (19 Nov 1897 - 02 Jan 1981), 1937

Once in a while,
Will you try
To give one little thought to me,
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?

Once in a while,
Will you dream
Of the moments
I shared with you,
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?

In love's smoldering ember,
One spark may remain.
If love still can remember,
That spark may burn again.

I know that I'll
Be contented with
Yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while.

~interlude~

Once in a while...

In love's smoldering ember,
One spark may remain.
If love still can remember,
The spark may burn again.

I know that I'll
Be contented with
Yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while...
Once in a while.
