The old anchor fencing is where the very old Thomas Jefferson School stood.

And, yes, Ronnie (Phillips - '65 -
of VA) and Mickey (Spivey - '65 - of FL) were two of the most fun people to be
around. Ronnie, Willie (Phillips), Bobby (my brother), Brooks (Bloxom - '64 - of
VA), I and others by the way, were 'the boys
in the balcony' at Tabernacle Baptist Church to whom Rev. (Jack) Tesh (father of
Jack Tesh - '58)
would give the admonition 'We'll be through in a few minutes, boys', or
something like that,
to help us pay attention near the end of the Sunday morning worship service.
He really wanted us to know and do good things. We were just being...boys...and
he knew that.

Hi, Carol:
You sure made progress on this page today! Thank you very much. I know you
have forty-eleven other tasks
to catch up on right now. I am glad we did not loose the images when your PC
crashed. Several TYPHOON
were members of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. As a
youth, I was raised in the Roman Catholic church
but did not abide as I should and let my various jobs interfere, and I was
invited to attend worship services
at Tabernacle Baptist Church by my buddy,
Fred Hayman ('57) of VA. Fred and his parents were
members and made me feel welcome. I remember the booming voice of the
minister, Reverend Jack V. Tesh.
Pastor Tesh
had a son Jack Tesh ('58) of NC who was an outstanding
athlete, and played Forward on the
1957-1958 TYPHOON Basketball Team
that was undefeated, under
Coach Charles "Lefty" Driesell.
Young Jack was a starting Forward for the
1956-1957 TYPHOON Basketball Team.
He also made a big
difference when coming off the bench for the
TYPHOON Basketball Team of 1955-1956
under Coach
William Chambers. Young Jack went on to Wake Forest where he
made a name for himself at this fine institution.
Pastor Tesh
also had a younger daughter, Jean Tesh, who was an
athlete as well. I do not recall the year
Jean graduated from NNHS.
I am confident when this recollection hits the
Newsletter many of your
subscribers will also provide their own recollections.
When I
photographed the building on 30th Street, I found it interesting that the
current owner replaced the
corner stone which would have shown when this fine building was constructed. I
photographed the current
corner stone, as well as the sign reflecting the current owners who worship at
this location.
TYPHOON

Just As I Am
Words:
Charlotte Elliott
Music: “Woodworth,”
William B. Bradbury
Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot,
to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt;
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
sight, riches, healing of the mind,
yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, thou wilt receive;
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, thy love unknown
has broken every barrier down;
now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, of that free love
the breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
here for a season, then above:
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
