did you? We did that just to get you motivated.
The truth is that you can still sign up

an e-mail at
nnhs64@cox.net

Faith Strickland Groom (ably assisted by her husband, Nelson) will
be happy to accept your cash

This is your last chance to get in on all
the fun, food, dancing, and perhaps, a birthday surprise.
And, did I mention FREE BEER AND WINE?
Be sure to bring you cameras. We look forward
to seeing you there.

EXCELLENT! Thanks, Dave!
The NNHS 64/60 Birthday Celebration Committee are pleased to announce that our Class Co-Sponsor, Miss Ettalea Kanter,
will be joining us for our 60th Birthday Celebration. We have also spoken with our Class Co-Sponsor, Mr. Warren Reed.
Unfortunately, he currently has a schedule conflict and will be unable to attend. He explained that his schedule
may clear, which would permit him to be there. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
"Hey, Warren, it wouldn't be the same without ya."

SUPER! Thanks, Dave!
of being first to make their reservations for our NNHS 64/60 Birthday Party.
Their replies were waiting in my P. O. Box less than 72 hours after I placed
the invitations in the mail.
ATTENTION: NNHS CLASS OF 1964
- Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 07/08/06
We all agree that the Class
of 1964 throws the best parties, and we really were flattered that so many
members of other classes attended our 40-year Reunion. However, the Committee
chose to invite only members of the Class of 1964 to our 60th Birthday
Celebration.
But, the good news for all you High School Reunion "Junkies" out there is that
you can look forward to our 45-year Reunion in 2009.

Carol,
On Saturday, 25 March, I had the
honor to attend a surprise 60th birthday party

attendance
and captured the following images:

WOWZERONI-RINI!!!
What a blessing you have to be living on "the sacred soil of Virginia", and to
be able
to arrange these little get-togethers frequently! Thanks so much for sharing
these with us, Cookie!

Subject: Minutes of Meeting, 11 Feb
2006
The following members were in attendance:
Cookie Phillips Tyndall
Sue Miller Dearnley
Nelson and Faith Strickland Groom
Dave Spriggs
We looked over the Questionnaire responses and
the spreadsheet tabulation created by Dave. There was a wide range of
ideas for an event, a location and dates. While there was no clear
"winner" for any category, it was determined (after some discussion)
that the event would be an informal dinner/dance and take place in late
September or early October.
With that decided, we moved on to venues. There
were several locations discussed, and it was decided that we would
investigate each of four possible sites and report our findings at the
next meeting. For planning purposes, we estimated that there would be
100 attendees, catered food, and a band or DJ.
The following assignments of Committee members
to sites were made:
The next meeting is scheduled for 12:30
PM, Sunday, 19 February 2006:
Silver Diner
12581 Jefferson Ave
Newport News, VA 23608
989-6622
All members of the Class of 1964 are welcome to attend and share
your ideas and creativity.

Well, Carol, here we are planning our 60th birthday party. Now, where did

Well, most of us are, anyway. And your Committee thought that we ought to celebrate that milestone event in our lives with each other in some way and at some time in the year 2006. We met and discussed some ideas, but we quickly realized that we needed to capitalize on the enormous creativity of the members of our illustrious Class of 1964. And, so, we are turning to all of you to come up with some ideas for us. On the reverse of this page is a Survey. Please let us know your ideas on what you would like to do, where you would like to do it, and in what month in 2006 you would be most likely to attend. We hope you will return the Survey even if you will be unable to attend the Celebration; we want your ideas. Of course, you may reply by e-mail to nnhs64@cox.net , but please include all information from the Survey, especially your contact information. We would like to receive all Surveys by December 15, 2005, so that we may determine the most popular event, location and time for our celebration. From our tally of the responses we will select the event, date, and place and begin planning. If you would like to join us and work on The Committee, please note that fact on your Survey. Best Wishes from your 60th Birthday Celebration Committee:
Angie Ray Smith
