From Elaine
Wilkinson Bracken ('61) of VA - 03/22/07 - "Marriage Counseling":
Marriage Counseling
-------------------------
A husband and wife came for counseling after 25 years of marriage. When asked
what the problem was, the wife went into an angry tirade listing each and every
problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married.
She went on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling
unloved and unlovable, a long list of unmet needs she had endured over the
course of their quarter century of marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the
therapist stood up, walked around his desk and, asking the wife to stand,
embraced her and kissed her passionately on the mouth.
The woman shut up and, in a daze, quietly sat down;. The therapist turned to the
husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least seven times a
week. Do you think you can do this?"
The husband thought for a moment and replied, "Well, Doc, I can drop her off
here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on the other days I play golf."
WILD GIGGLES!!!
That's hysterical, Elaine! Thanks!
From Evelyn Fryer
Fish ('58) OF TX - 03/22/07 - "RE: 03/21/07 - NNHS
Newsletter - All by Myself":
Thanks so
much, Sweet Lady!
After that blooper-laden last issue, I
figured there would be a big rush on to locate a suitable - and reasonably
sane - replacement for me. Your encouraging words cheered my soul!
I'll be looking forward to
learning the date of your Buckroe party!
From
Bill Campbell ('54) of VA - 03/22/07 -

I really appreciate your kind understanding of my horrendous and embarrassing bloopers, Bill! I did change that link, too:

From
Brenda Amos Williams
('62) of VA - 03/22/07 - "THANKS A BUNCH":
Hi Carol,
Thanks so much for doing this for me. I will have a list soon and forward it to
you.
Absolutely,
Brenda!
As I've said so many times
before, had it not been for your
Class of 1962 Web Page,
I never would have made the first beginning at what I do now!
I saw where
Paula Sturtevant Comstock ('62 - of
TX) wrote to you, please ask her to write me and give me her email address.
That will really help us to keep her informed of happenings with our class.
Thanks again. Will be back in touch real soon.
Brenda
I forwarded your note to Pretty Paula right away, Brenda, and hopefully you've heard from her by now. I'm posting it here so that more members of the Class of 1962 might see it and will check in with you and give you their correct addies.
Thanks again, Lady!
From Jerry
Blanchard ('62) of VA - 03/22/07 - "A GOOD CHUCKLE":
Jerry Blanchard
(62) TYPHOON
Subject: A GOOD CHUCKLE
A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.
Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket towards the man.
He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.
Oh my, I am so sorry, " the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.
"Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you, " she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theater followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.
After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast.
They had a wonderful, wonderful time.
The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed! ! Everything had been SO incredible! ! ! !
"You know, " he said, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet? "
"No, " she replies. .. . . "
"You just happened to catch my eye."
(oh shut up, and just forward it!)
Thanks, Jerry!
That was a good chuckle, indeed!
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 03/22/07 - "Women Bloopers":
Shari,
I started not to post this, because I thought it was really pushing
my self-imposed boundaries. (You know what a prude I am!
)
But I found I had to watch it twice. Why, you ask?!? Because I began laughing soooo hard there were tears streaming down my face, I had a colossal tummy ache, and I had missed too much of it. So how could I possibly deprive anyone else of all that entertainment?!?
Thanks,
Lady!

Brenda Amos Williams
('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

Why,
certainly, Brenda!
In fact, if you'll send me a list of your "missing", we'll post it and begin
to search for them individually.
Thank you for the
invitation! I'm delighted to see that you've opened your Friday night
to include the two classes on either side of you. It will be a fun
time for all, and I'm glad to help you in any way that I can.

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

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!

Yesterdays
- Jerome Kern, Otto Harbach
(Frank Sinatra -
Recorded November 21, 1961, Los Angeles)
Yesterdays, Yesterdays, days I knew as happy sweet sequestered days
Olden days, golden days, days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine, and truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life forsooth was mine
Sad am I, glad am I, for today I'm dreaming of, of yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine, the truth was mine
Sad am I, glad am I, for today I'm dreaming of, of yesterdays
