“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!”
-
Rudyard Kipling
(30 Dec 1865 - 18 Jan 1936)

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] |

“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) |

From Jimmy Dick ('65) of FL - 07/16/20, @ 6:00 AM - "GOOD
MORNING!":

GOOD MORNING AND
BE HAPPY ON THIS THURSDAY BECAUSE WE ARE ALL TRULY
BLESSED! Yes, we have strife and we have troubles, but always look at the glass as half full and never half empty. Remember that God has blessed us with another day, another opportunity to be better, to be kinder, and to be more determined to do the things we need to do. And we American are especially blessed to be who we are, Americans, citizens of the United States of America, the greatest nation on earth. So, with these things in mind, there is absolutely no reason to be gloomy today if we live life with hope and love and appreciation and praise for He who made us. Have a joyous day.
Thank you, Jimmy!
