Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I am dismayed to report even more sad news today. |
From Cheryl Mays ('66) of VA - 05/19/06
- "Death of Two Typhoons Son":
Carol,
I understand that he died of a brain tumor...both parents were Typhoons. His mother's maiden name was Moore. Cheryl |
This is a
classic case of my denial abilities. I read this - twice - and
dismissed it, as I did not know that Mary Ann ('60), Charles ('64)
and Eleanor ('66) Milne had an older brother. I was unable to
locate him in any of my Anchors even after your note arrived, Cheryl, but I
did find Phyllis Moore of the Class of 1960 (not to be
confused with Phyllis Moore of the Class of 1965). There
is a notation by Mary Ann's name that she transferred from Ahoskie High
School, so perhaps her brother graduated from there. What startles me is that I glossed right over the mention of his grandmother, Martha Jo Milne - and she was my eighth grade English teacher! His grandfather, of course, was the pastor of Orcutt Avenue Baptist Church for many years. Thank you for pointing this out to us, Cheryl. I'm so sorry to learn this. Our sincerest sympathies are with his entire family. |

:
Carol,
I realized after my
email to you that Billy was just going to college when the Milne's moved
here...so all were Typhoons but his dad! Billy was the oldest of the Milne
children. Phyllis also went to Orcutt. The Milne children were the age of
my siblings except Charles was the extra.. ha
Peace & Blessing,
Cheryl Oh, good. Thank you for that clarification, Cheryl. |
From Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 05/21/06:
Hi Carol:
I just wanted to make it known that William Douglas "Doug" Milne was the son of Dr. Phyllis Moore Milne, class of 1960. I was in the first grade with Phyllis at new Magruder School and I graduated with her in 1960. She was married to Billy Milne, son of our minister, W. P. Milne, Jr. at Orcutt Avenue Baptist Church. It was correct that Billy had just graduated from Ahoskie High School when they moved to Newport News in 1958. Billy's sister, Mary Ann, was in the class of 1960 with Phyllis and me. Mary Ann was the one who was the most unhappy moving here as she missed Ahoski High and "Woody ?" so much. Everyone who knew her at church knew of her unhappiness. It was sad. Yes, Mrs. Martha Jo Milne taught English at N.N.H.S. Everyone loved the Milne family. Mr. Milne left a real mark on me
personally. I shall never forget him....On Wednesday night, February 23,
1965, six months after he married
Billy and Mary Ann had two younger
siblings, Charles ('64) and Eleanor ('66). Eleanor
was always a real sweetheart.
My love and prayers go to the entire Milne
family, especially to Phyllis and Billy in the loss of their son. There
has been much sadness in the Milne family.
Tale care Carol....you are the greatest!
Fred Mays, class of ' 60 of Newport News,
VA.

Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

I Will Arise
Lyrics by Joseph Hart in Hymns Composed on Various Subjects (1759);
Music, "Arise", from William Walker's Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1835)
1. Come, ye sinners, poor and
wretched,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity joined with pow'r.
Refrain: I will arise and go
to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.
2. Come, ye needy, come, and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.
Refrain
3. Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and broken by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all.
Refrain
4. Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.
Refrain
"I Will Arise"
