Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
The Christmas carol for today's Newsletter theme is new to us this year.

Danny Crockett ('65) of FL - 12/13/08:
Why, Danny Crockett, as I live and breathe! I do believe your name was among the first I spotted back in '99 when I first found Classmates.com! Of course, being the stingy skinflint cheapskate that I am, I never bought a full membership, so I never contacted you, "and PLUS besides also and as well", I didn't think you'd remember me.
Welcome
aboard!
I've added your name to my mailing list of
over 525 NNHS alumni and friends (I haven't run
an exact headcount lately)! I also added you to the loosely-named Alumni
List and the contact page for our class. (For privacy issues, I'll publish
your email addie only if you so desire and give me your permission to do so.):

Send me your birthday, and I'll add your name there as well:

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html
We look forward to hearing from you!
I stumbled in to my computer in
the middle of the night (like the good little computer junkie that I am) and
found your note. Having learned from years of experience that it does not
behoove me to attempt to communicate with anyone while I'm in a zombie-state,
rather than reply to you directly, I forwarded your note to
Joe Wingo ('65) of NC,
Dave Arnold ('65) of
VA and his lovely bride,
the Head
Cheerleader of 1965, Pam Smith Arnold of VA
- and looky here:
From the President of the Class of 1965,
Joe Wingo of NC - 12/14/08:
Hi Dan,
Hope this note finds you in good health and happiness.
All you really
need to do is to get on Carol’s circulation list and you will receive regular
editions of the NNHS Newsletter.
That will keep you up to date on other people, other classes, reunions, and,
I’m pleased that you are interested in Carol’s publication. She does an excellent job of keeping most of us together. As you might expect, some folks choose to not participate, but we respect their desire to remain private.
So just make sure Carol has your e-mail address, ask her to include you on her circulation list and you’re all set.
Welcome aboard, Dan.
And, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Wishing you the very best,
Joe Wingo
Thank you so much,
Joe Sweetie!

From
Me
('65) of NC - 12/13/08 - "And speaking of food...":
This is one of my grandmother's recipes. I might make these cookies while I'm visiting in Illinois (then again, the dough is sooo delicious, that might prove problematical.....):
Sudie's Brown Sugar
Drops |
|||
1
egg, well beaten 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup unsifted all-purpose flour |
1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1-1/2 cup medium fine chopped walnuts |
||
Stir together beaten egg, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir in flour, soda, and salt. Add walnuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased and floured cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 - 9 minutes, or just until cookies start to brown at the edge. Do not overbake. Remove immediately to cooling rack. Make about 4 dozen. - Ursula Tuck Buckley, Richmond, VA |
From David Whitley ('67) of VA
- 12/03/08 (but not discovered until 12/08/08) - "All these
pictures are made from FOOD" (#7 in
a Series of 7):
This is really cool, look closely at each picture; most
everything is a kind of food. Lots of detail & tons more imagination than I have...
Thanks, Gorgeous!

Angels, from the Realms of Glory
Words by
James Montgomery,
1916
(04 Nov 1771 - 30 Apr 1854)
Music by
Henry Smart,
1867
(26 Oct 1813 - 06 July 1879)
Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye, who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant Light:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar:
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen his natal star:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King
