"To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more
powerful. |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
The site was
down several hours again this morning, due to the server.
ARGHHHH!!! This
is not only highly annoying, but also rather crippling......
Today's
edition marks the first post-holiday return to the regular Newsletters with
themes provided by the marvelous MIDIs located for us by our Magical Music
Man,
![]() ![]() We are picking up with CD #5, and this particular song sounds super-spectacular to me.. These awesome CDs are of course still yours for the asking, plus a modest donation to the Class of 1964: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/TYPHOONMART.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/CD-MIX.html Thanks, Dave! |
From Buster Vest ('63) of VA - 01/02/06 - "Interview with God":
Give it time to
load.................. Great video about God & Country.....Sorry ACLU, I believe in God..! http://www.interviewwithgod.com/patriotic/highband.htm OOOOOH, thanks, Buster! I had seen this before, but misplaced it. There are some wonderful quotations here, not to mention the spectacular images! |
From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 01/02/06 - "New Year CHEERS!":

From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 01/02/06:
A big Crabber welcome to Tim Rogers
(Hampton HS - '66) of VA! Couldn't find your picture in the 64 or 65
yearbooks........send a pic!
Yes, Tim, your public wants to know! GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Gloria! |
From Steve Silsby (Ferguson HS - '72) of NC - 01/02/06 - "Buckroe photos":
Hi Carol,
I came across the
enclosed photos while searching for something else. (That's how we
un-organized folks rediscover our treasures.) Anyway, they're from a
visit to the Buckroe Beach
Amusement Park in spring of 1983, two years
before the park was torn down. These pictures show some of the kiddie
rides, the roller coaster, and the big bear. I was surprised at that time
to find the kiddie rides had all been moved into the shade of the pavilion
roof.
If 1983 doesn't seem that long
ago, consider the one-year-old on those kiddie rides; that's my daughter
Deanna. She's been employed as a mechanical engineer at a
Charlotte NC firm for a year now. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from the
engineering school at NC State
University in 2004. (You don't imagine I'm a little proud of her,
do you?)
Ohhhh, nooooo, Steve! Why would we ever think such a thing?!? GIGGLES!!! Congratulations to both you and Deanna!
Don't feel you have to post all
of these to the web site, especially as you have
![]() Spriggs' ('64 - of VA) "wayback machine" pix of the coaster already. |

As for the bear: who DIDN'T pose
under it for a photo like that as a kid? Ummm - well, Steve, I'm loathe to say this, but neither ![]() I don't
recall a large black bear, either. Perhaps it appeared after we left town
and before Steve's visit in 1983. Thanks, David! I thought it was yet another thing that I'd forgotten! |

And yes, WOWZERONI!!! These are indeed great photos! Thanks so much, Steve! ![]() Hey, it was great to see Tim Rogers of HHS '66 found the website/newsletter. I worked with Tim for many years in Williamsburg and Newport News. I hope we can coax him to email often. Tim is a rich source of lower peninsula stories, myth, and lore from the 50's and 60's. Sounds great to me!!!
Oh yeah, Carol, thanks for the
reminder of the prize for the "major hit" award. Yes, light blue on white
would be wonderful for this old Mariner.
Super! Unfortunately, I just noticed I seem to have run out of white Knit-Cro-Sheen. This is roughly akin to a cross-stitcher running out of #310 black floss, or a cook running out of salt or eggs. It's never ever supposed to happen. Now I'll have to go to Wal-Mart to replenish my stock.... Sigh.
Best Mariner regards to all,
Steve Silsby, FHS '72 (sort of)
I can't stand it any longer.... What on earth does "sort of" mean??? |
From Dee Hodges Bartram ('66) of VA - 01/02/06:
Sorry, but I don't have a thing on
![]() ![]()
If anyone out there knows where he is,
please pass it on to me as well for our records.
Thanks much!
Dee Hodges Bartram
OH, CRUM!!! Okay, for those of you with Super Human powers who'd like to join this search, that's Walter Michael Costner, originally from Valdese, NC. Dee, if you'll send me the List of the Lost, I'll make you a chart, and we can start filling in the Found, as we did for '63, '64, '65, and '69 - all of which are still open and active pages: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2008-63-missing.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2004-missing.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2005-missing.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2004-69-missing.html Let's "bring them in"! Thanks, Dee! |
From Richard Dawes (NNHS/HHS - '62) of VA - 01/02/06 - "Google satellite shots":
Carol I don’t know if you have used this yet…but it is a lot of fun. Google released it last June. If you have not used it, be prepared to spend lots of time looking around the world. Play around with it. Rotating and panning, zooming or just take the tour.
Oh, yes - I did see this last
summer - and it is absolutely mesmerizing! You absolutely need to have
broadband and a pretty good system, but WOWZERONI
- you can spend a lot of time gawking here! We finally removed it for
two reasons. As I have absolutely no self-discipline whatsoever, I was
spending waaay too much time staring ga-ga-eyed at the screen, and
Oh, now, Dicky, you know I have
waaaay too much curiosity to miss this golden opportunity for a surprise....
(I just love surprises!) Okay, hold on.........
BUMMER!
What were they thinking?!? Okay, I'll shut down a few open windows so I won't crash everything, and download this in just a bit, because my curiosity can withstand no more......... Thanks, Dicky! |
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol
