From Catherine
Slusser Hudson ('64) of VA - 01/05/08 - "Loss of Mabel Hodnett":
Dear Carol:
I was very sorry to read of the loss of Mabel Hodnett. I have had the pleasure of knowing Howard and Mabel Hodnett most of my life. They both belong to American Legion Post 25 as did both my mother and my dad (Dad now lives in Richmond) I spent much time with them at the numerous events that took place at the Legion and most recently I would see them at the Pharmacy where I work when they would come in. They would always come over and say hello and they were a wonderful and loving couple. I shall miss Mabel and hope to continue to see Howard. My prayers and sympathy go out to Howard and the rest of the family. May they find strength and comfort during this time of sorrow.
Catherine Slusser Hudson
Thank you,
Catherine.

Carol ...
My condolences to Howard and the family for the passing of Mabel. Howard is
known by everyone in the antique car hobby ... the green VW and the bronze
Mercury are fixtures at a lot of shows. I know Howard not only through the car
hobby but also through a fellow school mate, Anne Greene Crenshaw (NNHS 46),
mother of a former girlfriend of mine, Becky Crenshaw (HHS 69). I had the
pleasure of meeting Mabel several times at car shows ... they made a wonderful
couple and she will be greatly missed.

From Linda Lane Lane
('64) of VA
- 01/05/08 - "Death of Mable Hodnett":
It was some years before that I had first met
Jerry, Mr. and Mrs. Hodnett and young Otis. They were active in the
Stonewall Jackson PTA and the
Typhoon Band Boosters. Over the years, they
were very active members in the North End community group and were good
friends to my mother. Many great times were shared on 53rd Street. The day
Wayne Boger ('64 - of VA)
came home from his military service had the
Hodnett's decorating the street with yellow ribbons. They were a great family
in a wonderful neighborhood that I will never forget.
Thank you,
Linda.
From Judy Phillips
Allen ('66) of VA - 01/05/08:
Thank you,
Judy. You've been in my near constant prayers today.

And thank you too, that you help me to forgive the hurt ,put on a smile, stand tall, and go out into life again. JOHN! Love, Harry & Debbie Schinkel |

From the President of the Class of 1965,
Joe Wingo of NC - 01/06/08:
Dear Judy and Jerry,
I am saddened to learn of your loss. My sincere condolences go out to your entire families.
While words always fail to convey the realm of emotions at a time of great personal loss, they do convey the fact that many care. I care.
Please know you all will be in our thoughts and prayers and may God’s grace support you now and forever.
Sincerely,
Joe Wingo
Thank you,
Joe.
From Dave Arnold
('65) of VA - 01/07/08 - "
Jerry":
Thank you -
again - so much, Dave.
From Judy Phillips
Allen ('66) of VA - 01/19/08 - "It's beautiful!":
Jerry. Chemo #3 the day before the funeral was terrible as was the rest of
that week. This past week, however, has been very good for both of us. Jerry
has felt so much better. He is back at work, doing all the normal things,
etc.
We have actually enjoyed the
last few days and look forward to the weekend--snow and all. It is official!
He will have only one more chemo, then 4 weeks of radiation. That should do
it! Thank you for the prayers and God for the results.
Thank you,
Judy. Our love and prayers continue for all of y'all.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

The Old Rugged Cross
Words and Music by George Bennard, 1913
(The Old Rugged Cross was
written in Albion, Michigan.
Or Pokagon, Michigan.
Or Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.
All three towns claim to be the birthplace of this hymn.)
On a hill far
away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
