"Alone, alone, all, all alone, |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This is one of my favorite songs from one of my very favorite shows. I
found this midi which I thought, given the shortcomings and limitations of the
whole genre of midis, did amazing justice to the original. I hope you
enjoy it.

By the way, I've been
horribly screwing up the birthday announcements all week. I may
have finished "amending history" by now, but if you found your birthday was not
listed previously when it should have been, well, uh,
GULP,
I'm so very sorry!
From
Linda McKenna Sivilich ('66) of PA - 03/11/07 - "Re:
Joan's Page ***additional information***":
Dear Carol,
Here is some additional information you can add to the NNHS teachers page on my sister, Joan McKenna Ward ('60).
Joan received her MA from University of Virginia in 1969.
Taught Spanish at Christopher Newport University for seven years, then returned to NNPS and taught at Denbigh and Menchville High Schools .
Joan
retired at age 56 and has been enjoying time with her two daughters and
two granddaughters. She continues to take classes on
the university level… she is currently studying ornithology and has a
passion for gardening.
Joan is
also the sister of
Dr. Thomas McKenna DDS (NNHS class of 1958).
Now some info about the link to Mrs. Diamonstein on her page… that is not the Mrs. Diamonstein who taught Spanish at NNHS. The right Mrs. Diamonstein is petite and had dark brown short hair. Someone with a 1962 Anchor would have the right picture. She was married to the optometrist, Dr. Diamonstein.
Joan was born March 25, 1942 in Philadelphia, PA.
Parents were Thomas and Wilma McKenna.
Yes, she knew about the reunion
and even attended some of the planning meetings.
Joan married
Franklin
Ward (also class of 1960), but they are now divorced.
Her oldest daughter is Margie Myrsten who is now a teacher in NNPS.
Your friend,
Linda McKenna Sivilich
class of 1966

03/11/07 - "Re: page for class of 1958":
Well, yes, no, maybe so....
We have the contact pages, which contains basic knowledge we may have, regardless of whether we are in touch with those individuals or not.:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-ALL.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-1958.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-1960.html
And should he - and Joan - wish to be added to the mailing list (and we would certainly be delighted to have them!), we have the rather amusingly named Alumni List:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/alumni-list.html
But if I understand you correctly, the only section we have which would list and picture all the members of a class and bring them into the present is for the Class of 1965. Even though it was one of the original eight sections of the web site dating back to July of 2000, it long ago bogged down, and now is updated quite haphazardly and almost accidentally, as is painfully obvious:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/yearbook.html
Within the different activities sections, we are more prone to find people from other classes, and of course input from everyone is found in the Newsletters, which is now the dominant portion of the site.

Never mind.......
"Never mind?" Oh, okay, I never mind. No, wait! Sometimes I mind, but not very well. No, that's not right. I'm sorry, what were we saying?!?
Well, anyway, I enjoyed
talking with you Saturday, Lady!
Take care!
From Paula Sturtevant Comstock

Thanks, Sweetie!
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this hits me again,
so I'll try this when it does!

My #2 Son, Brent Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of IL - 03/17/07 - "03/09/06 -
NNHS Newsletter - Crazy":
Mom,
![]() |
I really liked that little blip on women (it has the picture of the old lady to
the young girl above it). I think regularly, but not nearly as much as I should
(but more lately, so that is good), about my sweet
![]() Words don't come to describe to say what I feel. Awe begins to approach the thought. She inspires me to want to be more like her and be a better complement to her. |
|
I'm not trying to say that men are less than women (because men have great
traits too, as by design of our Father in Heaven), but it leaves me in awe much
of the time what she does for our kids and me.
I think men 'marry up' much of the time. If both are doing their part in
marriage, it is a wonderful and powerful thing. And it couldn't begin to go
right without the woman.
Anyway, keep up the good work, Mom. And, oh, I forgot to say, thanks for
praying on my behalf all those years for Father to send me such a great wife.
You knew I would need her!
Thanks, Mom, for all you've done for me! I love you!
bh
You got yourself a grand winner there, Brent! Thanks for letting me - and sweet Bethany - know that you know!
I love you, too!
From Rip Collins ('65) of TN - 03/17/07 - "03/09/06

OH, GOODY!!! The banter returns between these two best friends and S.P.D. Fraternity brothers for all the rest of us to enjoy! How I've missed it!
Thanks, Rip Precious!
Your turn, Wayne Honey!
From Jimmy Hines ('64) of Northern VA - 03/17/07:
Hi, Carol...
Hope you and yours are well...I'm doing ok. If you can open this, people might enjoy it, if it hasn't been seen before or you haven't already used it. This is from Hartman Beynon, US Army Band retired, and a trumpet player...who received it from another friend...more good stuff forwarded from friend to friend! As always, edit as you see fit.
Jimmy
Hey, Jimmy, it's good to hear from you! I'm 92.4% certain we've run this before, but there again, it's one of those things which bears repeating. But it wasn't included in your mailing. That didn't bother me initially, as I was relatively certain I could find i, either on our own site, or through Googling it online. But I've searched for an hour now and "I cannot find it here or there; I cannot find it anywhere."
"Anyone? Anyone?"
Thanks,
Sweetie!
From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 03/17/07:
...well, you are better and I have a
terrible cold. It started with a scratchy throat on Thursday. Friday my
tonsils felt like they were shaking hands. Today it wasn't much better but I
have been gargling and taking cold meds. I am hoping for a better day
tomorrow.
Love you, Jeanb
OH, NO!!!!! I'm so sorry to hear this, Jean!
When I say, "Get Well Soon", you can well imagine the empathy I have for
you!
From Bob Parrish ('68) of VA - 03/8/07 - "Here she is, the U.S.S. New
York":
![]() |
U.S.S.
New York It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. |
|
It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include
special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and
700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault
craft.
Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to
cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept. 9, 2003,
"those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence," recalled Navy
Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. "It was a spiritual moment for everybody
there."
Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center
steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the "hair on my neck stood
up."
"It had a big meaning to it for all of us," he said. "They knocked us down. They
can't keep us down. We're going to be back."
The ship's motto? "Never Forget."
WOWZERS!!! Thank you, Bob!
This is truly awesome!
From Sandra Canepa ('56) of VA) - 03/18/07 - "Buckroe & Crossroads
Entertainment Complex":
March 18, 2007
Crossroads & Buckroe
I applaud the Hampton City Council for considering everything the new Crossroads entertainment complex is expected to do for Hampton. The Daily Press reports that Hampton is looking for Crossroads to be "an attempt to make Hampton a destination" and is "looking for people to come in." ("Hampton's $200M plan," Feb. 15)
Buckroe Beach and Lots B have been the goose that has laid, and continue to lay, golden eggs in the form of attracting thousands of people and thousands of dollars in revenue to a proven destination. Now the council wants to cut up, sell off and destroy this known attraction in hopes its "new goose," the Crossroads complex, will lay the golden eggs for Hampton in the future.
How much more sense would it make for Hampton to have two major attractions to tout; one tried and true, but improved into a magnificent bayfront park with ample off-street parking, and the other, new and untried but needing all the help possible to compete with the other six entertainment complexes in the area.
The council is doing the XL Development Group a huge disservice by not doing all it can as the hosting city to help ensure it a success. Why would the council destroy one financially proven "one-of-a-kind" destination spot to lay all the onus on an unproven Crossroads in "an attempt to make Hampton a destination" when together the two certainly would be a winning ticket and better for everyone involved?
Doesn't it make good business sense for the council to reconsider its earlier vote on Buckroe's Lots B (view Option B at www.buckroebeach.org.)?
Contact the council at 727-6315 or council@hampton.gov, and let them hear your thoughts on developing Buckroe along with the Crossroads complex.
Sandra Canepa
Hampton
Thank
you so much, Sandra!
I'm
delighted to see there's still hope and that you and your committee are still
working so diligently to save this for all of us.
Now, y'all do your part, too!
From Dave Arnold ('65) of VA - 03/18/07 - "60th Birthday Party":
YIPPEE!!!
Certainly, Dave! I made you a brand new page, and our Wizard of

during WWII - 03/19/07 - "Dear Carol, Our Wedding Picture, Feb.15, 1945":
Oh, Herbie Darlin',
aren't y'all just so adorable?!?
Thanks for sharing this with us, Sweetie!
And I'm so glad you and Joe connected through the Together We Served site.
It's a very valuable resource!
From Pam Smith Arnold ('65) of VA - 03/19/07 - "RE:
Calendar Girl AND
It's All in the Game":
Carol,
I sang the whole song, in private of course; it is not fun to hear me sing.
Love, Cuz
OH, GOOD,
Cousin Pam! I'm so glad
to hear that! One of the main reasons I include all the lyrics
to each song (well, not counting my obsessive nature, of course!) is so
we can all sing along! I always sing along. When I'm all
alone in the house, I sing quite loudly - sort of like, say, Ethel Merman.
I'm sure the neighbors love it.
Thanks, Lady!

('62) of VA - 03/16/07 - "Re: HELLO":
Hi Carol,
Here I am again asking for another favor. Would you please post on your
website how much we would love to find our 1962 classmates? I know that lots
of folks that read your website, much more than our small
62 website. Our reunion
is getting close (September 22) and we really would like to find as many as
we can. We had a recent mailing and quite a few came back to us, such as
wrong address, moved, etc. so sure would appreciate you putting that up for
us.
You know also that you are always invited to
attend our reunion. We really would like to invite
all the classmates from 1960 to 1965 to attend our Friday night affair.
Soon we will have a webpage with all the information and invitation on it.
I appreciate all you do and hope things are doing good for all of you now.
Again, thanks for the help. Keep up the GREAT
WORK!
Brenda

On My Own
- Lyrics
by
Alain Boublil;
Music by
Claude-Michel Schönberg,
Les Misérables (1980)
(Lea
Salonga)
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend
without a face to say hello to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm lonely
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him...
But only on my own...
