Carol:
I'm sure you'll be mentioning the Battle of Midway (June 4-7, 1942) in a forthcoming NNHS newsletter. Here's some associated Newport News trivia that seldom is mentioned that you may wish to include.
Bill Lee
BATTLE OF MIDWAY - NN CONNECTIONS
The Battle of Midway, which commenced on 4 June 1942, turned the tide in the Pacific during the early days of World War Two. Central to this American victory were the three aircraft carriers that participated:
USS YORKTOWN (CV-5), USS ENTERPRISE (CV-6) and USS HORNET (CV-8)
Historical accounts of that pivotal battle appropriately concentrate on the tactics, the accomplishments – and the sacrifices – of the carriers’ air wings.
Recorded history seldom notes that the three carriers were sister ships and almost never mentions that they were all designed and built at the same shipyard – the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company.
In addition, apparently no such history has ever recorded the fact that all three carriers were constructed on - and launched from - the same set of shipways at NNS.
The carrier YORKTOWN was lost in that battle. One of the very last aviators to fly off her damaged and listing flight deck was a 1936 Naval Academy graduate who had become a naval aviator in 1940.
Years
later, that young naval officer -
Following his retirement from the Navy, he served as President of NNS&DDCo for two years (1977-1978). WOWZERONI-RINI! Thank you so much, Bill! 
I appreciate your
sharing your knowledge with us! |

young man. I know she and
Don (Wilson -

Chera are the same age. Last time we saw him was at a art museum
where he and Chera had artwork displayed when they were in high
school!Peace & Blessing, Cheryl
Thanks so much, Cheryl!
"Curiously," I remember when Tim was born, too!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I am laughing now! Being that I am often a "guest" that appears on her doorstep! As a matter of fact I will appear Thursday! At least if someone will pick me up at the train station. Thank you for the recognition for Tim! Perfectly done! And, yes, I am singing "Who Wrote the Book of Love?" I sing it quite often - alone, of course! Well, who did write it? Love, me
Thanks, Cheryl! I'm
glad you liked it!
Never fear; Eleanor
will pick you up at the train station Thursday afternoon, and there
will be more wild rejoicing and raucous behavior, because that is
what we do!

From My #5 Son,
Nathaniel
Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL - '97) of IL - 06/03/13 - "Electricity
and Ice Cream Cake Recipe":
| We got power back Sunday evening. Luckily,
the weather was nice and cool. So, no big deal.
I remember seeing a recipe in a fairly
recent newsletter about ice cream cake. I didn't bother saving it
because I couldn't possibly imagine wasting ice cream on cake.
However, since the power failed on us right as I returned from the
grocery store we have some ice cream that is pretty much only good
for making a shake or a cake. |
|
YOWZERS!
Two
days without electricity is more than just a little annoying, but we're
so thankful you were all kept safe and protected from the ravages of
that storm!
Lemme see... the Mother's Day issue has a recipe for Ice Cream Bread: |
|
http://www.nnhs65.com/05-12-13-NNHS-Happy-Mothers-Day.html: |
| Anyone heard of this?
Use any flavor of Ice Cream.. just make sure it's not non-fat or
low-fat.
|
|
Hope it works! Thanks, Faniel - and our visit down to
Swansboro to see Brent was SUPER!
|
|
Ah, thank you. Yeah, I think I will try it out sometime this week. Will let you know if it works. |

From LadyHawke's Weekly Jokes - 05/19/13:
| "The
Boss's Itinerary" To ensure that you have a good time on your trip to Australia, your team members have planned and developed a special itinerary to fill the time during your leisure hours. Agenda follows: Day 1: The "10 Deadliest Snakes" Fall Tour. You and a guest will be escorted through the outback and provided with the opportunity to handle and examine each of the world's 10 most deadly snakes. Day 2: The "Great White Encounter." You and your tour guide will take a small boat to the Great Barrier Reef, where you will be able to dive into the chum-laden water and experience the beauty of the Great White shark. Day 3: The Aboriginal "Festival of Spears." You will be the honored guest of a small aboriginal village as they celebrate the subjugation of the aboriginal race by the white man, with free liquor and a special weapons exhibition. Day 4: The "Crocodile Dundee" Petting Zoo. You will be able to come up-close and personal with the occasionally harmless salt-water crocodiles of the Australian coast. Lucky audience members are asked to participate in a croc wrestling exhibition. Day 5: "Those Marvelous Morays." This tour will once again return you to the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, where you will be allowed to hand feed special finger-shaped sausages to the wild eels of Stubby Hand Reef. We hope you will enjoy your trip! Your loyal employees. |

Words and Music by Kris Kristofferson (b. 22 June 1936)
Recorded by Kris Kristofferson (b. 22 June 1936), 1970
Recorded by
Ray Price
(b. 12 Jan 1926), 1970
Don't look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this old world
Will keep on turning
Let's just be glad
We had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
That we're burning
Lay your head,
Upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft, against the window
And make believe you love me,
One more time,
For the good times
I'll get along
You'll find another
And I'll be here
If you should find,
You ever need me
Don't say a word
About tomorrow, or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
When you leave me
Lay your head
Upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times
