01/23/08 - NNHS Newsletter - Till We Meet Again
"Parting is such sweet sorrow, |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This is probably the last of our themes of
songs that
my mama,
the late Maxine Frix Buckley (John
Marshall HS - '25), used to sing to me. I was never able to
locate even a close rendition of the song she most often sang, "There's a Long,
Long Trail". Do not be deceived and breathe a collective sigh of relief;
this is no guarantee that I won't find another such lullaby!
It struck me that today marks
the fifth anniversary of the passing of
Dennis Holbrook
('64). Sigh.....

STONEWALL JACKSON:
From Dave Arnold
('65) of VA - 01/21/08 - "Jackson":
Ah, Dave, I was trying to show some uncharacteristic restraint, but you force my hand. I took hundreds and thousands of pictures while we were there. Well, okay, maybe not, but I did take quite a few.....
Thanks for this
opportunity to share them, Dave!

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 01/21/08 - "Stonewall
Jackson's 184th Birthday":
Actually, Adonis,
if the General's lemons were
there, they were covered up by all those flowers, Confederate flags, and fallen
leaves.
But I'll try to take him one on my
next visit. Thanks for the
reminder!

From Norm Covert ('61) of MD -
01/21/08 - "Lexington
and Heroes":
Thanks, too, for remembering the birthday of
Stonewall Jackson.
I was particularly interested because 50-plus yards off in the distance in
your view of Stonewall's monument in Lexington is the grave of my
great-great-grandfather Walter C. J. Wev. A native of Natchez, Miss.,
he served in the 16th Mississippi Volunteer Infantry Regiment, the Crystal
Spring Rifles.
Here is a picture of his grave with Stonewall in the distance. |

Handy Tip
Remove permanent marker stains on your counters or Tupperware by
using hand sanitizer. It will take that permanent marker right off the surface.

Thanks for the
reminder, Wayne Honey!
This is one of those simple
truths that should be so simple to incorporate into our lives, but seems to be
so easy to forget.
And if there's a miracle in the
works for spreading the simple truth called "BE NICE", well, that's fine, too!

From Joan
Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 01/21/08 - "your life span":
On the first day, God created the dog and
said: ‘Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who
comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty
years.’
The dog said: ‘That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten
years and I’ll give you back the other ten?’
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the
monkey
and said: ‘Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this,
I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.’
The monkey said: ‘Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long
time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?’
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said: ‘You must go into the
field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves
and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you
a life span of sixty years.’
The cow said: ‘That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty
years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?’
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said: ‘Eat, sleep, play, marry
and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.’
But man said: ‘Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty,
the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten
the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?’
‘Okay,’ said God, ‘You asked for it.’
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and
bark at everyone.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I’m doing it
as a public service.
WILD GIGGLES!!! Ah,
but thanks anyway, Joan!

From My
Cousin,
Jim Atkinson
(John
Randolph Tucker HS - '77) -
Newly of AZ - 01/21/08 - "Winter 'Officially' Ended On...":
....January 10, 2008 when we arrived in southwestern AZ. The coldest day so far has been mid 50s but most days have been low to mid 60s. Really nice vistas here with the mountains, sunrises, sunsets, etc. over the Sonoran Desert. In about 3 months, the reptiles will emerge from winter dormancy and I will be in my element in pursuit of all.....
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/11-13-07-NNHS-Arizona.html
Temporary quarters in a rental house with a pool and a remarkable view. This
area will likely be home for a while - just like the other places we've lived.
The trip across was great. Exited Virginia via I-81 at Bristol. Dropped south
through Tennessee, through a corner of Georgia, crossed Alabama, Mississippi,
northern Louisiana, about all of Texas, through southwestern New Mexico and into
Arizona. Overnighted in Knoxville, TN, Vicksburg, MS, Weatherford, TX, Pecos,
TX and Tucson, AZ. Easier, faster, more direct, etc., to get to the Phoenix
area from here than Tucson. What a ride too, especially early and late in the
day.
See you all again some day (perhaps)...
Jim, Jody, Tim & Joe
YOWZERONI-WOWZERONI!!!
I still can scarcely believe we were
not able to get together once more before your move, Jim.
:o(
Thanks for the update; glad your trip was a good 'un. Blessings on you in
your new home - and DO keep in touch, please! Our love to all of y'all - till we
meet again!

Carol, do not know if you would like to show these or not. Just brings back a lot memories from yesteryear. Hope you like them.
Jerry Blanchard (62) of Va.
Gas Stations Of Yesteryear
Back when life was much simpler and gas was 18-25 cents a gallon!!
(or there about) and as low as 17 cents during gas wars.

Yeah . . . I remember!
And with a fill-up you got the gas pumped for you,
your windshield cleaned, oil and fluids checked, tires checked,
a free map, if you wanted it, and greeted in
ENGLISH !!!
Yeah! I remember!!!
Enjoy Your Days & Love Your Life.... Because...."Life is a journey to be savored."
Thanks, Jerry, I remember
them quite fondly, too!

We're leaving this evening to return to Lexington to help
My #6 Son,
Dale (Harty - Hillsboro HS,
IL / American School, IL - '02) and
Diana (Lyons Harty - Portsmouth
HS, NH / Eastlake
HS, CA - '05)
pack for their move to Massachusetts on Friday, so I'll be out of touch briefly.
It will be quite some time before we meet them again, and at the moment, I can
think of absolutely nothing sweet about the sorrow of this parting.....
Who's crying?!? Everyone who knows me even slightly
knows that I never, ever cry!
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOON FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Till We Meet Again
Words by Raymond B. Egan
Music by Richard A. Whiting, 1918
Smile the while you kiss me sad
adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in lover's lane, my dearie
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Every tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again.
Tho' goodbye means the birth of a
tear drop
Hello means the birth of a smile
And the smile will erase
The tear blighting trace
When we meet in the after awhile.
Smile the while you kiss me sad
adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in lover's lane, my dearie
Wedding bells will ring so merrily
Every tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again.
