Every now and then I receive something in the mail which just blows me away. This Monday afternoon such a package was delivered to my door. It was a large scrapbook entitled, "Monotony of Winning", containing primarily Typhoon sports clippings from 1962 to 1965. I'm still speechless.
From Marcus C. Higgins ('65) of AZ -
04/09/07:
These two clippings are not yet permanently placed, and there are more from this same time, so I'm going to milk this one a bit.
"Thank you" still sounds so inadequate,
Marcus, but I'll say it again anyway!
Surprise, Surprise!!! I finally made all of those individual football pages! Now "all" I have to do is scan all the yearbook images to insert into them - and I've even started on that!
Notice the guideline:
"These seasons were actually played in the autumns of the years 1953 to 1966." Or in other words, the year refers to the Anchor from which the photos were extracted, and the corresponding news clippings and other images will be added to those pages.
Okay, you football
players, ya gotta know I love you, because scanning isn't really a big hobby of
mine...

ARGHHH!!! I'm so sorry, Dusty.
"Oh, Faniel....."
From My #5 Son, Nathaniel Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '97) of IL -
04/19/07:
No idea. I've not used McAfee in eons. I was never pleased with it. My guess is that it's nothing, but let me know if other people get warnings.
Yikes. Okay, thanks, Nathaniel!
Is anyone else receiving such odd messages from anyone???
"Anyone? Anyone?"
From Henry Hoyle ('65) of Northern VA - 04/20/07 - "yankee/dixie quiz":
Here is a yankee/dixie quiz. I don't remember if it's been in the class newsletter or not.
http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport/yankee_dixie_quiz.html.
My score was 58% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category. I guess I've lived in Northern Virginia too long.
Cousin Henry,
bless your poor sweet heart,
Honey Child! Even 30 years in the Midwest couldn't strip me of my
birthright.
I received a 70%
(Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
WILD GIGGLES!!!
I'll have to disagree with some of this, though - especially their assessment of the True and Correct Pronunciation of the word "aunt". All Virginians - well, at least those from Richmond, anyway - know that it rhymes with "want". The authors of this quiz are unaware of that little gem, and think that pronunciation is limited to "Clearly Massachusetts, SE Maine, or Rhode Island" (to say nothing of Canada!).
I think they need a
vacation to "the sacred soil of Virginia"!
Thanks, Sweetie! Give
my love to Yvonne!

WOWZERONI-YOWZERONI!!!
No, I cannot imagine such a thing! Thanks, Tommy!
Winding down from yard work with some idle cybersurfing. I thought .... "Fooks"
has got to be one of the most unique names in the country, so it shouldn't
be too hard to locate him.
Put his name into the online phone book; he is the ONLY
"CURTIS FOOKS" in the entire USofA:
Fooks, Curtis
2231 Grandin Rd SW
Roanoke, VA 24015-3529
(540) 342-5403
Then, Googled his name. Three hits:
From: Curtis Fooks Email: cefooks@hotmail.com
Any information about "Maid of the Mist."
Thanks. From: Jean Email: JCCASTALDO Does anyone knoe the desendants ...

- Supplemental Result
The first was simply a query on some literary
message board, but it did provide his e-mail address:
cefooks@hotmail.com
The second hit occurred because his home in
Roanoke is adjacent to a proposed construction site for a school athletic
field.
The third was the best. It was the minutes of a Roanoke School Board meeting
of 26 Feb 2004. Contained in those minutes was a list of retiring
instructors:
Curtis Fooks 6/14/04 English Wm. Byrd High Roanoke
So, now we know where he lives, his phone number,
e-mail address, and that he retired from teaching high school English at
William Byrd HS in in 2004.
If anyone has wanted to contact him, there is no longer any excuse not to do
so.
David, you are a SOOP-ER genius!!!!

From My Friend, Shea Spencer Stone (Fremont
HS, UT - '98) of NC - 04/20/07 - "CELEBRATE
EARTH DAY":
How to Trash Your Junk Mail and Help Save the Planet
Step 1 - The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act took effect September 30, 1997. Under one provision of the new law, consumers can call just one of the following three major national credit bureaus (they share the lists) to have their names removed from mailing lists used for unsolicited credit and insurance offers. Virtually all companies offering pre-approved credit cards use lists from these three major credit bureaus.
Step 2 - The Direct Marketing Association represents many mail order sales companies, and estimates that listing your name with their mail preference service will stop 75% of all national mailings coming to your home. Call or write and ask to be added to their suppression list.
Step 3 - Companies that do not participate in the D.M.A. program must be contacted directly. In addition, if you only want some of your junk mail stopped, contacting individual companies is the way to go. You can write to firms that send you unsolicited material and tell them firmly to stop. Be sure to use the enclosed Business Reply envelopes when replying through the mail, and address them to Customer Service. You can also call the firms' toll free numbers and ask to speak with customer service.
Step 4 - Buyers beware...you are covered under a manufacturer's warranty whether a card is returned or not. These cards are primarily used to gather names for mailing lists. Write National Demographics & Lifestyles, a firm that collects this information, to have your name removed.
Step 5 - To remove your name from major nationwide sweepstakes mailers, contact:
Step 6 - For more information, check out these web sites:
Step 7 - To find out more information
about phone book data mailing lists, ads and coupons addressed "to the
resident", and other junk mail organizations and campaigns, contact: Native

WOWZERS!!! Thank you for all this valuable information, Shea!
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 04/22/07 - "The Wooden Bowl ":
Thank you so much, Shari - and you're
right; that is one story I've never forgotten. The reminders are nice to
review from time to time, too!
From Gary Sealey, Menchville Marketing, of VA - 04/22/07 - "Re: Menchville High and Hilton Village":
Oh, Gary, what a horrible time for
such a wicked virus to attack! I'm so sorry for your difficulties, but
I'm glad everything transpired as well as it did under the circumstances.
Do let us know when you're all set. We're eagerly awaiting seeing it
all!

Dear Carol, You certainly deserve the BIGGEST HUGS of anyone I know. You work your BUNS off on the newsletter, I don't know how you do it !!! Stay healthy and take many Coffee breaks, Forget the doughnuts ~~~~~ Eat lots of fruit. Don't work too hard, Laugh a lot AND, Take time to smell the ROSES, They are wonderful. Your Friend, Herbie |
|
It's true, Herbie Darlin'. I do work my buns off. That begs the question, Why are they still there?!? And furthermore, why do they just keep getting bigger instead of going away?!?
Do you realize I have a whole closet full of clothes which fit me just fine three years ago which now won't even go on, thanks to this latest coating of blubber?!? SIGH.....
And I don't drink coffee or eat doughnuts, but I do take lots and
lots of breaks!
Thanks, Sweetie!

Thanks again, Sweetie!
From My Favorite Marine, Jimmy Parker
('62) of VA - 04/22/07 - "Re: 04/19/07 - NNHS Newsletter -
Once Upon a Time":
In the fall of 1962 you were not dating just any Marine. You were dating THE MARINE! Are you ashamed to identify the Marine you were dating but never wrote while he was in Asia fighting to save the homeland?
Jimmy Darling, I'm only ashamed of not writing
you. I'm certainly not ashamed of dating you!
I just thought, private person that you are, perhaps you would "murderlize" me if I identified you. In fact, as I was connecting that song to that Newsletter, I had the clearest image flash back in my mind of standing on your left with my arm wrapped around yours. You were wearing your service Alpha uniform, and I was about to pop from pride with being with you. It was outside on a cold, crisp night. I don't know where we might have been. I wish I could remember.
And after 44 years the only reason I can possibly imagine to explain the fact that I simply refused to write you is that it was all connected to that nervous breakdown I had shortly after you left in February of 1963. Either that, or it's as I've always said - I'm just not a very nice person.
Perhaps had I ever once written you a single line, I might have discovered that you were not simply stationed in Okinawa, as you had previously been just stationed at Camp LeJeune, but running dangerous clandestine missions onto the shores of North Viet Nam - which thing I never imagined, and didn't learn until 2000.
Through the years, my feelings of guilt have been exacerbated by the fact that there's absolutely no way to make restitution. And even this very public apology cannot compensate for my inexcusable behavior, but I am truly sorry, Love.

The Sweetest Sounds
Written by
Richard Rodgers (unlike most of his compositions, writing both music and
lyrics) for the musical
No Strings,
1962
(28 June 1902 30 Dec 1979)
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know, are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all, is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know, are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all, is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me (waiting somewhere)
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
The most entrancing sight of all, is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
