PRAYER UPDATES:
From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of
VA - 04/20/09, 3:16 PM - "John Allen":
Hi, Carol,
I got a call this afternoon from
Richie
(Allen - '66 - of VA) that his brother, John, had passed away earlier today
(Monday, 4/20/09). I don't have any information about a service at this time,
but he had made his wishes known to his family. I will forward more information
when I have it. Ironically, the Allens were friends with
Donnie Spencer
('56), whom I just read also passed away
today. Our prayers to their family also.
Thanks,
Sandi
I'm so very sorry to hear this news, Sandi, but thank you for
letting us know.
Our prayers will be with the entire
family. I'll prepare John's Memorial Newsletter when the obituary becomes
available.

From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA
- 04/21/09, 7:18 AM - "
Monty
(Phillips - '62 - of VA)":
This will be very brief. I got home at midnight last night, just took Josh to school, and will be heading back to the hospital in a few minutes.
Monty came through the surgery very well, but he does have cancer on the liver. The surgeon said the reworked plumbing looks good and went better than expected. The big battle is ahead, though. Please keep Monty in prayer. He will need all the help he can get. As with most Marines, he has quite a fighting spirit and his goal is to get back to work.
God bless everyone!
Judy
I'm sorry to learn this news, too, Dearest Judy.
Tell
Monty we're keeping him in our prayers.

Our precious son
Chuck (Portsmouth Abbey, Class of '92) has returned from his third
trip to the Gulf!!! The USS Roosevelt pulled into Norfolk on Saturday and we
had a long chat with him that evening. Praise God from whom all blessings
flow! He has already visited both of his grannies! I just might get to see
both of my babies on Mother's Day weekend when I visit the sacred soil to
see my Mamma!!! |

WHOO-HOO!
That's GREAT news, Jean!
Thanks for sharing it with us!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 04/20/09 - "Dear TYPHOON Conduit":
Jimmy Parker ('62 - of VA) called me and
left me a voice mail message. He was in Orlando visiting his daughter and her
family, and left me his cell phone number. We have managed to get together for a
mini-reunion on two of his prior visits to Florida, and it is so much fun
catching up!
I became really excited about getting together with Jimmy again, and to learn more of his experiences in a USMC RECON Unit. When I returned the call, a recorded voice told me that the subscriber was out of area???
I tried several times and each time his
phone was not available. Since I do not remember his son-in-law's last name I
was lost in my efforts to reach him during this trip to Florida. Maybe you can
convey my regrets to Jimmy via your Newsletter????
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
AWWW, Joe, I'm so very sorry your mini-reunion crashed! :o(
Oh, Jimmy-Jimmy! Joe sends his regrets!
From Joe Drewry ('58) of VA - 04/20/09 -
"Enjoying Your Age":
I ran across an item today that might be of interest to classmates. I don't think I would have appreciated it 50 years ago.
Enjoying Your Age
In each stage of life, there are wonderful experiences one can savor and valuable insights one can absorb. Every new decade and, in fact, every new year brings with it wisdom, transformation, and growth, as well as ends and beginnings. Many people, however, believe that there is one age that eclipses the others. They expend energy trying to reach it and, once it has passed, trying to retain it. But wishing to be younger or older is a denial of the joys that have been and the joys yet to be, as well as the beauty of your life in the present. Holding on to one age can make it difficult to appreciate each new milestone you reach. Taking pleasure in the delights of your age, whether you are in your 20s, 40s, 60s, or 80s, can help you see the magnificence and usefulness of the complex seasons of your life.
Each new year gifted to us by the universe is replete with exciting and unfamiliar experiences. In our 20s, we can embrace the energy of youth and the learning process, knowing it’s okay to not have all the answers. As we move through our third decade, we grow more self-assured as the confusion of our young adulthood melts away. We can honor these years by putting aside our fears of aging and concentrating instead on solidifying our values and enjoying our growing emotional maturity. In our 40s, we become conscious of the wisdom we have attained through life experience and are blessed with the ability to put it to good use. We are not afraid to explore unfamiliar territory or to change. In our 50s, we tend to have successfully navigated our midlife reevaluations and have prioritized our lives. In the decades beyond, we discover a greater sense of freedom than we have ever known and can truly enjoy the memory of all we’ve seen and done.
Try to enjoy the age you are at now, for each age presents its own unique wisdom to savor.
Thanks so much, Joe!
This is the most comforting passage I've ever read on
the subject!
FINALLY:
From

Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything. |

Here's my story, sad but true
It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town
Ah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue
I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue
Ah, she likes to travel around
She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue
She likes to travel around
She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue
