Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
| We
covered a bit of the traditional Passover celebrations in last year's
Newsletter: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/04-23-05-NNHS-Passover-Wishes.html This year while searching for the music, I found much more fascinating information at this very extensive site: |
~~~~~~~~~~~~
BELATED
BIRTHDAYS:
The
story of how it is that I came to forget all these birthdays is so horribly
embarrassing, I refuse to even reveal it.
And the worst part is, I'm pretty certain that I did exactly the same
thing last year. Sigh. I am so terribly sorry.A Very Merry Un-Birthday to all the following Sweetie-Pies: 10 -
My deepest apologies to one and all. |

And Passover

OHHHH, this
one was sooooo cute! Thanks so much! And Happy Passover,
Al!

Hi, Carol:
Fred Hayman ('57) of VA sent me several photos taken during the
Fun 'N Sun Air Show last week in Lakeland.

OHHH, such fun! Thanks, Joe - and Fred!
 Say, Adonis, isn't "Former Typhoon" an oxymoron - akin to "Former Marine"?!? WILDEST GIGGLES!!! |

From Joan Ownby Mathieson ('58) of VA - 04/11/06 - "
Gloria Woolard
Price (Hampton HS - '65 - of FL)":
| Carol;
I was wondering if Gloria got my e-mail about her brother Melvin.........I never got a response and I was thinking that maybe the e-mail went to e-mail heaven instead of to the web site. My husband Jim Mathieson and Melvin were good buddies at HHS back in the 50's - along with Delma Drake, Dootie Cottle, Fred Jones, Punchy Bullifant and others. Well, that's entirely possible, Pretty Lady. After all, this very note you sent me was inexplicably delayed for thirty-six hours, swimming around out there in cyber-space doing who knows what. Let's find out. Oh, Gloria....... Thanks, Joan!

Hi Carol,
I read the pages almost every day. My sister-in-law sent this to me and
you might use it as a link for passover.
OY, You should maybe click on the link below, Bubbaleh
!!!!
That's
so cute! Thanks, Linda!
As far as music goes, you might chose EXODUS. Oooh - Exodus is one of my favorite songs, as was the movie! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053804/ I even used it last fall as a Newsletter theme: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-27-05-NNHS-This-Land-Is-Mine.html
But I really wanted something
very traditional and appropriate only to Passover itself. By the
time your note reached me, left to my own devices, I had already located
this version of "Ma Nishtana". But thanks anyway!
I will have to write more as I have lots of memories growing up on Parrish Avenue. Yes, please do! Keep up the excellent work. It means so much. Take care.
Linda Alfrey Walker '61
Thank
you, Linda!
PS let me know if you can't open this.
No problem!

MYSTERY SOLVED:
From Bill Campbell ('54) of VA - 04/11/06 - "Donald Harvey, NNHS Class of '53":
|
Hi Carol;
I am quite sure that the Donald Harvey who
Joe Madagan and
Freddy Hayman were referring to were neither of the Don Harveys of the
'60s, but rather
Donald Harvey of the NNHS Class
of '53. Donnie lived in Marshall
Courts, as did Freddy Hayman and I, and he lives in Newport News
now. He retired from NASA several years ago. He married classmate
Billie Jo Sensing, and they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary
on Dec. 22, 2002. |
|||
 |
As you can see by the attached 1953
Anchor picture, Donnie played on the NNHS football and baseball teams
as well as playing trombone in the band. There is not a nicer man in the
whole world than Donnie Harvey, and it is nice to see people remembering
him as did Freddy and Joe.
Keep up the good work.
Bill C. '54

Thank you so much, Bill, not only for the image, but for solving the mystery and providing so much additional information! |

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 04/11/06 -
"Donald Harvey":
|
Hi, Carol:
When
Fred Hayman ('57) of VA
and I were discussing
Donald Harvey we were recalling a young man who was a bit older
than we are. When we were Cub Scouts he was a boy scout leader and
assisted with our Cub Pack and later when we were Boy Scouts, Donald was a
counselor at Camp Okee located in Gloucester Point, VA.
We lost track of Donald while pursuing our careers and
military service. He was a good teacher!
We also recalled Ambert Dail, who was
our Cub Scout Master when we met at the
Marshall Courts Community
Center. He was the station manager at WGH-AM
and also performed on Saturdays at the
Paramount Theatre as "Uncle
Ambert" and conducted contest and entertainment before the Saturday
Matinee. It is our understanding that he is now a resident at the
Baptist
Home on Harpersville Road, which is now known (as
The
Chesapeake). His memory is poor now.
Won't bore you more about the long conversation, but
it was great fun to see Fred again and recall some wonderful times at
John W. Daniel School
as well as NNHS, except to
ask, Where is Dimples now???
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Thanks, Major Madagan!
And I'm never bored. I'm verrry sloowww and I procrastinate
terribly, but I'm never bored!
But to answer your earlier query, this Donald Harvey is regrettably not on our mailing list. |

"Happy Easter":
|
Hi Carol,
I just read the Palm Sunday
newsletter and I wished
Kathy Pilgrim Clark
('63) were here to respond. I'm sure she would have numerous
suggestions for music and always something beautiful.
The Holy City
has always been one of my favorites also.
After returning from Florida and the allergies, I get home and there is more pollen on my car than I can even imagine. Maybe the allergies are following me this year. We had a wonderful trip last weekend to the mountains of Virginia and a wonderful visit with family. I'm glad you had a great trip, Linda! And allergens of one form or other seem to be everywhere. I've always been fascinated by the pine pollen here in Fayetteville. Well, fascinated and annoyed, I suppose. But it makes driveways and roof tops appear to have been sprinkled by yellow ochre paint. When the rain hits it, the effect is quite lovely. ACHOOO!!! Please tell
I hope you (all) have a nice Passover as we celebrate Easter. Thanks, Linda! Our Easter promises to be very nice!
Love
Linda L. Lane
Thanks, Linda!
I did pass your note on
to David: |
From David Whitley ('57) of VA - 04/12/06:
| Carol dear,
Please tell
Why certainly, Gorgeous! And you
already know that you'll be in my thoughts and prayers both during your
surgery tomorrow as well as while you're recuperating.

From Diane Shortridge Reed (Hampton
HS - '62) of VA - 04/11/06 - "What
a nice site":
| Hi Carol, A Typhoon alumni, 
Carolyn Simpson Knight ('56 - of VA) gave my your site and I'm
checking in as a Crabber ('62), and enjoyed finding out where
Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63 - of MD) is located. I remember all
three of the Nelms boys and maybe they remember me; it's been a long time.
Dr. Nelms was my Dr. also and I
still remember when the Polio vaccine came into being and my best friend
Judy Fertitta (Gibson - Hampton HS - '63 - of VA) and I rode our bikes
to get Dr. Nelms to give us out shots.
I'm still local, or rather
transplanted from Hampton to Newport News. If Chandler sees this note, we
need to see you at out next HHS reunion, the smaller one Hope Southhall
and the gang gets together. Thank you, Diane!
It's always a pleasure to hear from new people! Feel free to join us!

CBD,
These exchanges below actually happened
in different courts of law within our land. For the fun of it, and with no
meanness toward anyone, I share them with you.
For Our
Train "Tracking" Members:
Lawyer: "How old is your son, the one
living with you?"
Witness: "Thirty-eight or Thirty-five, I
can't remember which"
Lawyer: "How long has he lived with you?"
Witness: "Forty-five years"
For Those That Were
Band Members:
Lawyer: "Did you blow your horn or
anything?"
Witness: "After the accident?"
Lawyer: "Before the accident"
Witness: "Sure, I played for ten years, I
even went to school for it"
For Our Lawyer Members and Followers of
the Court:
Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the
autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
Witness: "No"
Lawyer: "Did you check for blood
pressure?"
Witness: "No"
Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?"
Witness: "No"
Lawyer: " So, then it is possible that the
patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
Witness: "No"
Lawyer: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"
Witness: "Because his brain was sitting on
my desk in a jar"
Lawyer: " But, could the patient have still
been alive nevertheless?"
Witness: " Yes, it is possible that he
could have been alive and practicing law somewhere"
I just report the facts.
Take Care!
"R"
WILD
GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Wayne Honey!

I'm always crushed to hear of anyone's suffering and enduring pain,
especially people I know and love, as I do so quite poorly myself, and can
scarcely conceive of such a thing.
