“You have heard the beat of the off-shore wind,
And the thresh of the deep-sea rain;
You have heard the song - how long? how long?
Pull out on the trail again!”

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
My mama
(the late Maxine Frix Buckley - John
Marshall HS - '25) (19
May 1908 - 15 Feb 1999) used
to sing this WWI era song to
my
sister
(Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of
NC)
and me when we were little girls. Sometimes she still
does.
BONUS - There's a Long Long Trail - clip from Oh! What a Lovely War (1969)
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%27s_a_Long_Long_Trail_A-Winding:
| "There's a Long, Long Trail" is a popular song of
World War I. The lyrics were by
Stoddard King (1889-1933) and the music by
Alonzo "Zo" Elliott, both seniors at
Yale.[1]
It was published in London in 1914, but a December, 1913 copyright for
the music is claimed by Zo Elliott. In Elliott's own words to Marc Drogin shortly before his death in 1964, he created the music as an idle pursuit one day in his dorm room at Yale in 1913. King walked in, liked the music and suggested a first line. Elliott sang out the second, and so they went through the lyrics. And they performed it -- with trepidation -- before the fraternity that evening. The interview was published as an article in the New Haven Register and later reprinted in Yankee Magazine. It then appeared on page 103 of "The Best of Yankee Magazine" [ISBN 0-89909-079-6] In the interview he recalled the day and the odd circumstances that led to the creation of this historic song.[2] |
HEALTH UPDATE:
From
Me
('65) of NC -
07/01/18 - "
My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of
NC":
Having been transported to the emergency room by ambulance on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 27, royally scaring the beebees out of all of us, Paul was moved to a nursing facility on Sunday, July 1. He's undergone extensive rehabilitation, and regained a few of the 30 pounds he lost waaay too quickly, and at last came home today - with a walker (which I thought surely he wouldn't use, but he has already several times).
He has a much deeper
understanding now of the fact that his diet can never, ever include potatoes,
peanuts, peanut butter, cheese, pizza, tomatoes, processed meats, table salt,
white beans, baked beans, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew melons, raisins,
oranges, orange juice, ice cream, chocolate, and most especially pork of any
kind or persuasion (which gave him the worst case of excruciatingly painful gout
he's ever had). The time for "moderation in all things" has long passed. This is
total abstinence forever.
He's embarked on an exercise
program now, and is steadily regaining his strength, but that's coming more
slowly than he expected. It's still a scary, uphill battle. Your continued
prayers would be greatly appreciated.

“Often
the answer to our prayer does not come while we’re on our knees but
while we’re on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us.
Selfless acts of service and consecration refine our spirits remove the
scales from our spiritual eyes and open the windows of heaven. By
becoming the answer to someone’s prayer we often find the answer to our
own.”
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf(b. 06 Nov 1940) |
