Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Can you believe
it?!? Today marks the sixteenth anniversary of our website.
Thanks for all your generous support in
so many ways!
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q1amG-9uDw&NR=1 - The Anniversary Waltz - Bing Crosby - deliciously scratchy sound!
BONUS #2 - The Anniversary Waltz - Vera Lynn
BONUS #3 - The Anniversary Waltz - Connie Francis - with video of Lucy and Desi!
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anniversary_Waltz:
The Anniversary Waltz is a popular song written by Dave Franklin, the lyrics by Al Dubin. The song was published in 1941. It has been covered by Vera Lynn and Connie Francis. The title "Anniversary Waltz" is often mistakenly and confusingly used to refer to the entirely unrelated Anniversary Song.
PRAYER REQUEST:
From Linda Lane Lane
('64) of VA - 07/12/16 - "
Jay Lane ('68) of
VA":
| Please send prayers and cards
to my brother Jay who is a patient at Riverside Regional Medical Center.
He has had a stroke. This is not a big stroke but they want to know why.
He's the picture of health who walks two hours a day and is constantly
doing something like working in D.C. This is a wake up call as we get older maybe we can't do everything we've been doing.
OH, NO!
I'm so shocked and sorry to
learn this, Linda-Linda!
We'll be keeping Jay - and
you - in our prayers!

From Lisa Dye (South Grand Prairie HS, TX) of TX - 07/11/16 - "RE:
Glenn Dye ('60)":
| It's been one month today
since we lost my dad. There are days I still can't believe he is gone.
Some days I want to call him up and ask if he has heard the latest news
in gospel music, tell him about a new booking we just got, or tell him
about a recent concert we sang. He was our biggest fan! I sure do miss
him.
Thank you, Lisa!

From Joyce Simmons Dye (Grand Prairie HS, TX) of TX - 07/11/16 - "RE:

Certainly, Joyce!

Thank you so much, Carlene!

important they are!
