our tenth grandchild, sixth grandson.
From
Me
('65) of NC - 06/14/08 - "Buckley's Blessing Bonnet and Booties":
I finished crocheting these Tuesday. In retrospect, they probably would have appeared better had I actually photographed them rather than just placing them on the scanner bed.....
As I promised his mama and daddy, they are elaborate but masculine, and cool
enough for this hot summer. I found Karen Gilson's bootie pattern
online (appropriately named, "Granny's Love Baby Booties"!), and
designed the bonnet myself to coordinate with them: http://members.tripod.com/~kpup/html/baby_booties.html Instead of yarn, I used white Lustre-Sheen cotton thread and a size D aluminum hook. Now I just need to begin making his little white blessing suit (which will not be crocheted) - and sew quickly! |

From Bill Sasser (Hampton HS - '61) of
VA - 06/13/08 - "You Tube":
A couple of years ago, you listed a video of the history of Hampton Roads that I did under Crabbermart.
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/CRABBERMART.html
I have put an a few edited versions of it on Youtube. It has had a number of
hits. Thought your folks might enjoy seeing the glory days of my hometown. I
went to John W. Daniel but moved to
Hampton when I was in the 6th grade.

(3 July 1878 - 5 Nov 1942)
You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
