"message for
Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI ":
| Please let Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI know that it was indeed my sister that she knew at Madison College. Gale Silsby Owenby (Ferguson HS - '64) still lives in Newport News with her husband Jerry. Gale graduated with a fine arts degree in '68. Here's her Ferguson senior photo. |

| My
memory is rather dim regarding the Madison College campus. The only visit I
remember staying for any time was freshman family visiting day in the fall
of '64. I think Gale was in Sheldon Hall, but it could have been one of the
others on the north side of the quad (Spotswood, Alumnae?). Of course the
family toured the whole campus, but the place that impressed my 5th grade
mind as (much as anything) was the circular dining hall. As I recall, it
looked brand new at that time. It was such a quaint, beautiful
compact campus back then. Now it covers so much area, they had to rename
it the James Madison Universe, or something of the sort! Well, how cool is that?!? And the world grows smaller and smaller... Thanks, Steve!

Take care, Joe Wingo Thanks, Sweetie!
Isn't it all grand fun???

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL -
02/24/06 - "Photo Missing ???":
|
Hi, Carol:
I believe your may have filed the
"missing photo" of Mickey
Marcella ('56 - of VA) under "Hunk" or "Gorgeous Hunk" and maybe his
lovely wife
Carolyn Moell Marcella - '56) can furnish you another to file under
his name.TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
WILD GIGGLES!!! You're right, Adonis! It was most unseemly - and highly unlikely - of me to lose an image of a Hot Guy! I was privileged to meet Mickey and Carol last summer at the memorial service for Mr. Mac, and found them both to be charming, delightful, and still gorgeous. Mickey was funny five ways from Tuesday, and he introduced me to many people, usually assuring me that they were all cross-dressers. It occurred to me that I could run a systems search on my files and locate his image, but I must not have held my mouth right, because it produced no such results. I was about to call for my tech-rep, when the following note arrived. But thanks for your
suggestion, Joe!

Bill Campbell ('54) of VA - 02/24/06 - "Mickey and Jack, '54":
|
Hi Carol.
In your
2/22/03 Newsletter,
Doug Nelson ('64 - of VA) asked for a '54 Anchor snapshot of
his brother, Jack Nelson ('54 - of Northern VA). Doug said that he
probably went by 'John H. Nelson, Jr.'. Well, as you can see from the left
side of the attached image, he was close. Jack 'fleshed out' the 'H' and
dropped the Jr. |
||||
 |
 |
Also, you lamented over losing the '54
Anchor picture of Mickey Marcella ('54 - of VA). Well, lament
no more. I am attaching the Anchor photos of Jack and Mickey for
you.

I will be able to provide any images you may wish to have from the '50, '51, '52, '53, and '54 Anchors. Glad to be able to help. Keep up the good work.
Bill '54
DOUBLE-WOWZERONI!!! I see Jack is as gorgeous as the rest of his siblings - and we already knew about Mickey! And a triple-thank-you,
Bill, for the two images, and for your very generous offer!
Oh, and I was away from home the entire day (GRRRRR!!!) - and will be again for the next two days, (TRIPLE-GRRRRR!!!) all those things I promised to do today, I didn't. That, or "tomorrow" has been moved to the middle of next week...... |

From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - "Photo still not coming through...":
| Hi Carol,
No, my photo is still not coming through. All the others are... ARGHHHHH!!! As Delmar said to Everett in O, Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), "That just don't make no sense!" Your image works just fine and dandy on my 'puter, so I asked my #6 son, Dale, how it worked on his. Sho' 'nuff, there was that stoo-pid red X. However, when it was clicked, up came your senior portrait - but then when "Back" was pushed, we were back to the X! So I asked Dale, the National Smart Person and All-Around Super Genius Computer Guru, and after careful consideration, he said, "Ummm, I dunno." I suppose there's
nothing left to do but rescan it. I'll do a better job of it this
time. But of course, that's not gonna be tonight!

From Barbara Brewer ('69) of VA - 02/24/06 - "Re: Dave Dessler sp?":
|
Hi Carol,
There is a Dave Dessler working for the
Chesapeake School System and I think he is the instructor for the radio
station, WFOS.
They have trained some of the local classical music station DJ's and they
also allowed my son, Aaron to attend a summer class, even though he was
not a resident of Chesapeake. He used to tell stories to me about Mr.
Dessler.
It might be the same Dave. I have tried to
catch him at the station and let him know about the mention of his name on
this website. I hope he is aware of the positive influence he has had on
many teenagers lives.
I have enjoyed the history of
East End. I did not realize that
Stuart Gardens was a product of
WWII. I enjoyed the Shipyard
Bulletin excerpt. My parents had saved the copies of the bulletins and I
read the ones concerning the Pacific Theatre when I was very young.
(Then) I realized there was something out there, like the novels about the
South Pacific, including the W. E. B. Griffin series.
I was enthralled reading about the era. I
lived two blocks from the shipyard and used to go to the launchings with
my daddy. He held my hand as we walked underneath the pilings supporting
the huge ships before they were methodically knocked away to allow the
ships to go down the way. I hope someone has those bulletins. There was
interesting art work. I later met a man that was knighted for his work in
Jane's Book of Ships in WWII. Those profiles were always a part of
the bulletin. When he introduced himself, I knew about his illustrations
due to my access to the bulletins.
Hilton Village
seemed to have been a product of WWI. I enjoyed reading William
Styron's memories of the Hilton area. I read his book about the
Nat Turner rebellion as required reading at
ODU. I do not know a lot about the
background of the book about Port Warwick, but I enjoyed it as I have
enjoyed all of his books.
Thank you so much,
Barbara Brewer NNHS '69
We aim to please and
occasionally to educate, Barbara; glad you're having fun! Thanks!

Carol,
If you can stop laughing, you
might include one of these each upcoming newsletter ....
unless you think it undignified.

Friday on My Mind
(The Easybeats)
Monday morning feels so bad,
Ev'rybody seems to nag me
Coming Tuesday I feel better,
Even my old man looks good,
Wednesday just don't go,
Thursday goes too slow,
I've got Friday on my mind
Chorus
Gonna have fun in the city,
Be with my girl, she's so pretty,
She looks fine tonight,
She is out of sight to me,
Tonight....I spend my bread,
Tonight...I lose my head,
Tonight...I got to get tonight
Monday I have Friday on my mind.
Do the five day drag once more,
Know of nothing else that bugs me
More than working for the rich man,
Hey I'll change that scene one day,
Today I might be mad,
Tomorrow I'll be glad,
I've got Friday on my mind,
(Repeat Chorus)
