Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This event (unfortunately...) repeats every year:

I don't like April Fool's Day.
Therefore, the April Fool's joke is - there IS no joke!
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!

('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.

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!

What Kind of Fool Am I?
(Frank Sinatra)
What kind of
fool am I,
Who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one
That I have been thinking of.
What kind of man is this?
An empty shell,
A lonely cell
In which an empty heart must dwell.
What kind of lips are these
That lied with ev'ry kiss,
That whispered empty words of love
That left me alone like this?
Why can't I fall in love
Like any other man,
And maybe then I'll know
what kind of fool I am.
---------------
What kind of fool am I,
Who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one
That I have been thinking of.
What kind of man is this,
An empty shell,
A lonely cell
In which an empty heart must dwell?
What kind of clown am I?
What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away
The mask of play
And live my life?
Why can't I fall in love
'Til I don't give a damn,
And maybe then I'll know
What kind of fool I am.
