Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Tributes
continue to arrive for

NEWBIES:
1.
Patricia Horton Binder Class of 1958.
WOWZERS!!! Thanks, Judy!
And Patricia, we're delighted that you've joined us! I've added your name to our Alumni List: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/alumni-list.html We're looking forward to hearing your memories! Speaking of Newbies......
CAROL...
I sent you a message yesterday
regarding the NNHS website....but I don't know if you received it.
So I'll just let you know that I
graduated from NNHS in 1963 and have many fond memories of my TYPHOON
years. I have enjoyed reading the many comments from classmates and
friends.
Keep up the excellent work!!
REGARDS
HARMON
Yes, sir, I did indeed receive your note, Harmon. In fact, I remember you quite well, but according to my contemporary records (yes, I was taking notes of everything even way back then...), it appears we did not know one another, so don't worry if you don't remember me. I was a bit of a nebbish, anyway. Okay, more than a bit. Details, details..... Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, Harmon - AOL hates me. It's true. You'll have to go into your AOL settings somewhere or other and say, "Yes, I really do want to hear from this woman (at NNHS65@yahoo.com and NNHS65@nc.rr.com), even though she's quite insane," or they'll protect you from my emails from now to Doomsday. And if they continue to
do that anyway (which they very well might), just do as http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/NNHS-Newsletters-2006.html
Thanks, Harmon!

From Barbara Brewer ('69) of VA - 03/09/06 - "St. Paddy's Day":
Carol,
I will be the big 55. My birth date was
3-17-51. It is a great date. Party, party, party....
Ooooh,
you must have had some fun birthday parties!
I hope that you are feeling better. BP is
nothing to treat lightly.
Boy, Howdy! I was supposed to have gone to a luncheon on Wednesday; instead I cancelled my plans and spent the entire day in bed. And I still felt crummy.... I enjoy this site, so much. It is such a good way of keeping in touch and keeping memories alive. We grew up in a great area at a great time.
Thank you so much for this opportunity.

That we did, Barbara! I'm glad you're enjoying it all - thanks! |

From
Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 03/10/06:
Hi Darlin’ You probably thought I had died and gone to……..I’ll have to think about that one. Anyway, I’ve been tuned in all along and observing. Its incredible how many new-comers are continuously joining the ranks of the NNHS Newsletter. It’s fantastic! I never cease to be amazed by the genuine camaraderie of all of your newsletter contributors. These friendships fostered by your newsletter are truly global and timeless.
Chandler Darlin'!
How wonderful to hear from you again!
![]()
Actually, I thought I'd said
something dreadfully insensitive and offended you horribly and scared you
away forever...... I'm delighted to know that you're still there and well
and as gorgeous as ever.
It was nice to
see
That we were!
No news from Nelmstown. Just wanted say hi. Chandler Nelms Thanks for writing,
Gorgeous! We've missed you! I've missed you!

From Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton HS - '65) of FL - 03/10/06 - "NNHS
Newsletter":
Carol,
remember the Vietnam page with the four or five playlists that someone
graciously submitted? I kept that link on my desktop, so I could access
it anytime. All of a sudden, it's not there any longer. Can you or
anyone help?
OH, YOWZERONI!!!
I can't find mine either - nor can
I remember who the sweet angel was who gave it to me, nor when.
"Anyone? Anyone?" Thanks, Gloria!

From John London (Warwick HS - '57) of VA - 03/10/06 - "Palace Theatre - NN":
Hi Carol -
My name is John London. I recently
came upon your NNHS web site, and I think
I have explored it fully. Congratulations, you have done a wonderful job
with it! As one who runs three sites I know how much time and effort it
requires to do it properly. It also requires a passion for the subject,
and yours is obvious.
Thank you so much, John!
I am of Warwick HS vintage (1957). I
grew up on the Peninsula and now live in Virginia Beach. One of my
passions is photography and I may have a few pictures that would interest
you. During a nostalgic fit a few years ago I made some shots of the
devastation that is Newport News. I happened to be there on the very day
that they began demolition of the old 'Palace Theatre', and I talked my
way inside. I have a somewhat moody shot of the interior from the stage
facing the seating area that you might like. I also have some exterior
shots.
I have several shots of Washington Avenue
from that day, and may have some of NNHS.
Please let me know if you are interested in
seeing them.
"If I'm interested in seeing them?!?" Does Dr. Who hate the Daleks?!?
Thanks, and continued success with your
wonderful project (wish someone would do it for WHS).
Thank you so much, and until that happy day arrives, if you'd care to join us, we'd be glad to have you. You'll notice that we use the word "Alumni" rather loosely...

From Jay Styles
('68) of VA - 03/11/06:
Carol,
Last night I was saddened to learn of the passing of your friend,
![]() In the last couple of weeks, we have lost a new Trooper who was shot and killed, and a retired Trooper whom I have known for twenty years. Life is short, way too short. Grab your kids and loved ones, give them a hug and hold on for as long as you can, and don't fret the small stuff, for indeed, the torch is being passed to our generation and our once invulnerable coat of armor is no more. Typhoons take care.
Jay Styles, '68
Oh, Jay, I'm so sorry for the losses you have sustained, too! And your words are so
very true. We tend to think, "I'll do that tomorrow, I'll make that
call or visit, I'll write that note, I'll say those words, I'll give that
hug and kiss then," and sometimes - all too often - that opportunity
is forever lost to us. Thank you so much for that reminder!
I've posted this note on Kathy's page as well: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/03-10-06-NNHS-Kathy-Pilgrim-Clark.html |
REALLY, REALLY BACKLOGGED:
This is so old it's
downright embarrassing
- but it's fun!
From Dave Arnold ('65) of VA - 11/15/06 - Reunion CD #3 - Saturday, October 22,
2005:
These images are from the table-top cameras. I'll try to post a few in each newsletter until I'm done.

OOOOOOH, Looky-Looky what

A MOST EMPHATIC "NO". This Urban Myth is debunked by

Thank you, Sir! I appreciate it!

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

For the Longest Time
Words and Music
by Billy Joel
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
