Memorial Day “Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored.” - Daniel Webster (18 Jan 1782 - 24 Oct 1852) |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This
theme repeats (or tries to repeat, when the systems are working...)
every year:

From One of my
Famous Marines -
Herb Hice of MI, who
served in the Pacific Theater
during WWII - 05/27/07 - "Dear Carol, MOTHER OF THE YEAR - 'You'll Love it !'":
This has been around before BUT, It's so adorable, I am sending it around again for your enjoyment. I hope this short note finds you in good spirits.
Your Friend, Herbie
this is adorable.
MOTHER OF THE YEAR
In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare
set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy,
the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly
after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline
in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the
loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors
decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she
would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was
that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning
mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in
a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a
different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter
of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and
placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops?
Take a look...you won't believe your eyes!!

I don't know, Herbie Darlin', but you're right. These
images are adorable - as is the story! Thanks so much - for everything!
From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 05/27/07 - "RE:
Name that tune.":
OK, in my zealousness I overlooked the point about not using the
Internet.
However, when I first read
Joe's (Madagan - '57 - of FL) question, in my mind I
kept hearing Arlo singing 27. I was only two off.
Well, Captain, I think the point is that you recalled the song at all without first checking online. YOU WIN!!! I am mightily impressed - as usual!
Twenty-five sacks of mail ... plus three conductors.

I thought folks might enjoy some of these photos as we have so many animal lovers. Dave Sights you may not see in a lifetime I think that's aptly titled! Thanks, Dave! ![]() |

And to all of y’all who have served in our country’s armed forces, I extend my heartfelt thanks. I personally tend to doubly observe both Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day as for both the living and the dead of all our wars and conflicts. So to all of you, have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day – you deserve it!
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Day is done...Gone
the sun
From the lake...
From the hills...
From the sky.
All is well...Safely rest
God is nigh.
Fading light....Dims the sight
And a star....Gems the sky....Gleaming bright
From afar....Drawing nigh
Falls the night.
