  From Robert Fulcher ('64) of VA - 01/17/10 - " NNHS Grad Class of 1942":

Good evening, Carol,

The other day I had an eye appointment and was sitting in the waiting room waiting for my turn. I was sitting beside a gentleman and we started talking and I found out that he graduated from NNHS class of 42. His last name was Williams. I can't remember his first name. He told me he played varsity football. After graduation he said he went into the Marine Corps for three years and was stationed on the battleship Iowa and was in the Pacific Theater during the war. After the war and sometime later he told me he coached football at York High School, varsity and junior varsity, and loved every minute of it. He has been a peninsula resident all his life. He was such a nice fellow. A chance meeting and you find out we went to the same school. Mr. Williams graduated before I was born.
That brief encounter made my day.

I just wanted to share this with you
 
Robert Fulcher
Class of 1964

   WOWZERONI! Thanks so much, Robert - what a great story!


      From Phil Hammond ('64) of UT - 01/17/10 - "Deer Valley World Cup Event":

Carol,

I thought perhaps some skiers would like to see how we party in the winter.  These pictures are from the world cup mogul finals last night at Deer Valley Resort.  We had good weather for a change but are going to finally get several large storms starting Monday or Tuesday.  We seriously need the powder.

 
Saturday, January 16, 2010  
   

I was there until 2 AM tearing the venue down so our guest could ski the next day.  It was still fun!

Phil Hammond

   WOWZERONI! That's impressive! Thanks, Phil!


  From Al Farber ('64) of GA - 01/17/10 - "SHOPPING AT COSTCO":

A TRIP TO COSTCO

Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit the Wonder Dog, and was in the checkout line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs  in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. 

(I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's  rear-end and a car hit us both. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Costco won't let me shop there anymore.

Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say. Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends.....  It will be their Laugh for the day.

 TYPHOONs FOREVER
 

   WILD GIGGLES!!! Thanks so much, Al! I love your happy pict-o-grams!

        From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 01/05/10 - "This Made My Day" - "#11 in a Series of 12":

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.

 For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is 
that wrinkles don't hurt....
 

   GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Gorgeous!

From ArcaMax Jokes - 01/17/09:

The Senate

A member of the Senate, known for his hot temper and acid tongue, exploded one day in mid session and began to shout, "Half of this Senate is made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!"

All the other Senators pled to the angry member that he withdraw his statement, or be removed from the remainder of the session. After a long pause, the angry member accepted.

"Ok" he said, "I withdraw what I said. Half of this Senate is NOT made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!"

*************

Good Milk

There once was a 94 year old nun back in the 1890s whose worn out body began to surrender. Her doctor prescribed for her a shot of whiskey three times a day, to relax her. However, not to be lured into worldly pleasures, she huffily declined.

But her mother superior knew the elderly sister loved milk. So she instructed the kitchen to spike the milk three times a day. Eventually, the elderly pious one approached her final hour. As several sisters gathered around her at bedside, the mother superior asked if she wanted to leave them any words of wisdom.

"Oh, yes," she replied. "Never sell that cow!"

We Shall Overcome

Lyrics derived from Charles Tindley's gospel song "I'll Overcome Some Day" (1900), and opening and closing melody from the
19th-century spiritual "No More Auction Block for Me" (a song that dates to before the Civil War). According to Professor Donnell King of Pellissippi State Technical Community College (in Knoxville, Tenn.), "We Shall Overcome" was adapted from these gospel songs by "Guy Carawan, Candy Carawan, and a couple of other people associated with the Highlander Research and Education Center, currently located near Knoxville, Tennessee. I have in my possession copies of the lyrics that include a brief history of the song, and a notation that royalties from the song go to support the Highlander Center."

 

We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day

CHORUS:

Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day

We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day

We shall all be free
We shall all be free
We shall all be free some day

We are not afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid some day

We are not alone
We are not alone
We are not alone some day

The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around some day

We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
