Doris
Day |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Ahhh - another Birthday Celebration!
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZbKHDPPrrc - Doris Day - Que Sera, Sera
Although Doris Day recorded "Que Sera, Sera" song in 1956, it wasn't until it was chosen as the theme song for her television show in 1968 that it became her signature song.
I spent the summer of 1966
living in Richmond with my aunt
Frances (Frix Atkinson - John Marshall HS
- '37) (24 Mar
1920 - 21 Apr 2006)
and uncle
Jimmy (Atkinson)
(15 Apr 1913 - 11 May
2006) and three cousins, Stuart
(Rappahannock HS - '63),
Jean (Rappahannock HS / John Marshall HS -
'65 - of VA), and
Jim Atkinson
(John Randolph
Tucker HS - '77 - of AZ ). Jean was quite fond of
this award-winning song, and sang it quite frequently, so I personally associate
it more with Jean than I do Miss Day.

Hey - NO,
Ronnie! I printed that one - on time and everything!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/03-28-09-NNHS-Colonel-Bogey.html
'Cause
it wasn't sent as a "reply"; you created that email yourself!
OH, NO! You mean they're SERIOUS when they tell me each and every time that 42 - 56 or so of my announcements never went anywhere?!? I thought they were bluffing. Sigh... NOW what?!?
Thanks,
Ronnie - for everything!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL -
04/02/09 - "Gmail "rolling" emails.":
I know, Major Madagan, that's the terrible irony of it all! :0[ When I'm having single one-on-one conversations, it's marvelous. But when we're talking about one on 550+, something dreadful ensues! And the Catch-22 is that it DOES simplify my life, saving me several hours per day over Yahoo (from whence the extra 50 or so are mailed). I really don't see any way around it, either.....
Thanks, Adonis!
Speaking of rolling emails, I found the next note about ten minutes after announcing yesterday's Newsletter:
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 04/01/09 -
"The NNHS Alma Mater":
AMEN!
Thanks,
Al!
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 04/02/09 -
"The NNHS Alma Mater":
Okay, Sweetie, what we have here is a clear case of my "talking crooked" - which I do whenever I become as shook up as I did about this whole incident!
The first thing I meant to say was I didn't hear the Super-Duper midi two years ago when it first arrived.
The second
problem was, in my panic to "fix" everything, I uploaded all the files you sent
to my desktop, but then listened to and transferred and attached the "lesser"
midi file.
The third thing I
meant was the tone of the Alma Mater (while definitely reminding me of hymns as
well) made me think of something from else from NNHS -
and unlike many of y'all (who seem to have near-perfect total recall), MOST of
my old memories are fractured and fragmented. That's why I so delight in
everything we do and share here. Sometimes I can actually retrieve memories in a
complete form.
And while I actually haven't
quite restored this memory yet (Did the band play the
Alma Mater at Honor Assemblies, perhaps?!?), I know I'm on the right track.
Thanks
again,
Al!
From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of
VA - 04/02/09 - "What
would you do?":
Could this be like, "Give
them enough rope and they'll hang themselves" ?
'Cause he surely hung himself.......with a little help. hehehehehehe
Husband and wife are lying quietly in bed
reading when the wife looks over at him and asks a question.............
WIFE: 'What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?'
HUSBAND: 'Definitely not!'
WIFE: 'Why not? Don't you like being married?'
HUSBAND: 'Of course I do.'
WIFE: 'Then why wouldn't you remarry?'
HUSBAND: 'Okay, okay, I'd get married again..'
WIFE: 'You would? (with a hurt look)
HUSBAND: (makes audible groan)
WIFE: 'Would you live in our house?'
HUSBAND: 'Sure. It's a great house.'
WIFE: 'Would you sleep with her in our bed?'
HUSBAND: 'Where else would we sleep?'
WIFE: 'Would you let her drive my car?'
HUSBAND: 'Probably. It is almost new.'
WIFE: 'Would you replace my pictures with hers?'
HUSBAND: 'That would seem like the proper thing to do.'
WIFE: 'Would you give her my jewelry?'
HUSBAND: 'No. I'm sure she'd want her own.'
WIFE: 'Would you take her golfing with you?'
HUSBAND: 'Yes. Those are always good times.'
WIFE: 'Would she use my clubs?'
HUSBAND: 'No. She's left-handed.'
WIFE: - silence -
HUSBAND: ' . . . s--t.'
YIKESARONI!
BUSTED!!! GIGGLES! Thanks, Joyce!
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 04/02/09 - "RE: "04/02/09
- Hans Christian Andersen's 204th Birthday":
Ja, really! GIGGLES!
Hey, Jim - "Hello"
from Shari!
From My Cousin,
Jean Atkinson Mallory (Warsaw HS /
Rappahannock HS / John
Marshall HS - '65 - of VA - 04/03/09 - "
Jim (Atkinson
- John Randolph
Tucker HS - '77 - of AZ )":
Well, see, Jean, you're several notches higher than I am on the Nature Trail. I USED to like to hike in the woods (about 40 years ago), but mountains, rivers, lakes and canoes have never issued any calls for me. Nowadays my idea of a hike consists of going downstairs to be sociable. And the four wondrous grand-kitty-cats here supply me with about as much wildlife as I need.
But, HEY, SOMEBODY'S gotta like that stuff, n'est pas?!?
Wait a minute - STOP THE TRAIN! I DID go hiking around the Pacific coast of Oregon back in June of '96 - beaches, hills, cliffs, rocks, boulders, waterfalls, little bridges! TA-DAH!!!
Oh, no, wait. I forgot. I made a complete and utter fool of myself by being a mega-wuss weinius maximus, didn't I?
"Nevermind!"
GIGGLES! Thanks,
Jean!

- from
The Man Who Knew Too Much,
1956
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, What will I be?
Will I be pretty, will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart, What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows, day after day?
Here's what my sweetheart said.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, What will I be?
Will I be handsome, will I be rich?
I tell them tenderly.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
