See You in September

“Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise
would have high tide always and a full moon every night.”

- Hal Borland
(14 May 1900 - 22 Feb 1978)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

Today's Newsletter is being revisited from exactly three years ago today:

http://nnhs65.com/07-17-07-NNHS-See-You-in-September.html

BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRGLjzFHa40 - See You in September - The Tempos, 1959

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_You_In_September:

"See You in September" is a song written by Sid Wayne and Sherman Edwards in 1959 which was a Top 30 hit that summer as first recorded by the Tempos; when remade by the Happenings in 1966 the song reached #3.^[1]

Sid Wayne would recall the song's inception: "I was in the habit of going from my home on Long Island every day to Brill Building, on Tin Pan Alley [to] meet with different songwriters there. We'd eat at Jack Dempsey's or The Turf Restaurant and then we'd go up to one of the publishers' offices and work in the piano room. We'd sit around saying to each other, 'What do you want to write today? A hit or a standard?'" At 11 a.m. on a Friday in June 1959 Wayne thus met up with Sherman Edwards: "he said, 'What do you want to write?' 'I'd like to write a song called See You in September,"' I said. We talked it back and forth and I think I may have contributed part of the opening music, but with Sherman it didn't matter, because he could throw me back half the lyric - that's how he worked. I think probably by two in the afternoon we got the song finished. It needed to be written; it was like boiling inside of us."

By 4:30 p.m. that day Wayne and Edwards had reworked their composition, simplifying it so as to appeal to the teen demographic, and proceeded to make the rounds of publishers to pitch the song which, after one rejection, met with an enthusiastic reception from Jack Gold, owner of the local Paris label, who by 8 p.m. had telephoned the Tempos¹ in their hometown of Pittsburgh. The group had been flown in to New York City by the next day: Saturday. Sid Wayne - ""By Monday the record was cut [with the Billy Mure orchestra], test pressings were Thursday, and by Friday the song was played on WNEW in New York. The thing took off like wildfire....Five hundred dollars to split between the two of us [ie. Wayne & Edwards]...was a damn good week's pay in 1961." [1]

HEALTH ALERT:

My #1 Daughter-in-Law, Mary Bennett Harty (Litchfield HS, IL - '89) of IL has pneumonia. Please keep her in your prayers. Thanks!

REUNION ALERTS:

From Dave Arnold ('65) of VA - 05/11/10 - "Class of 1965's 45-Year Reunion":

The NNHS Class of 1965 will hold its 45-Year Reunion on Friday and Saturday, October 15 and 16, 2010 - which is OPEN to all classes!

Friday evening we will meet at R.J.'s Restaurant and Sports Bar. The only cost will be what you choose to eat and drink. The company will be priceless.

Saturday will be spent at Newport News Park. We've reserved a group shelter that can seat 150 people with sufficient cover to take care of any weather concerns. If you made it to the 55th Birthday Party you'll recall it was held at the Park in one of the smaller shelters. The facility we're using this time is a new addition and will give us lots of flexibility to meet and reminisce. The cost of this event is $15.00 per person through August 31, 2010. After that date the cost will be $20.00 per person. The charge for Saturday will cover your food and beverages.

NEWBIES:

1. Mark Wilson ('68) of NC via Bob Parrish ('68) of Northern VA - 07/16/10 - "A new member":

I have enjoyed your news letter and I was telling Mark Wilson (68) of NC about it. I was trying to figure out how to get the news letter to him. To this point I have not been able to get it to him. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to put him on your mailing list. He is really interested in being added to your mailing list. His e mail address is _______________.

Thanks,

Bob Parrish (68)

Certainly, Bob, thanks! Only - I thought Mark was living in Virginia, and that he was already on our mailing list, but I cannot find any email addy for him, let alone the one you supplied, so I suppose it's true what we've all long suspected. I'm quite insane. So anyway.....

Welcome (or welcome back!), Mark!

I decided to actually work on the site itself and do some long overdue scanning. As a result, these pages are either entirely new or newly fleshed-out with images:

From My #2 Son, Brent Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of TX - 07/16/10 - "Me @ work":

			Mom..... I thought you'd like these two pics. I am getting to train on controlling the Patriot weapon system...finally! I've been @ the battery for nine months & I'm finally getting to train on it. Hope all is well with you all. All going well here. Love you both!


WOWZERONI! Congratulations, Brent! If you're happy, then I'm happy for you - and of course, I'm enormously proud of you!

From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 07/16/10 - "Bees":

Hi Carol.

Please tell Shari she needs to get a ‘professional’ involved ASAP. We saw bees going into a flower bed and knew they were probably ‘ground bees’. When the exterminator dealt with the problem he dug up a hive that was bigger than a large beach ball, at least 12 inches across. If Shari is allergic this should not be played with. National charged me about $100, but I have a quarterly flea contract with them because of our house pets. So the fee might be a little more. Just some more info for her.

Joan Krause

YOWZERONI! Thank you so much, Joan! I passed this information on to Shari!

From Glenn Dye ('60) of TX - 07/10/10 - "Special Poem For Older Folks (#6 in a Series of 6)":

"Stop Worrying about the Storm; Learn to Dance in the Rain"

I often wondered about this myself!

Most of you can pass this on to some old cognitive codger that you know.

Special Poem For Older Folks

A row of bottles on my shelf
Caused me to analyze myself.
One yellow pill I have to pop
Goes to my heart so it won't stop.
A little white one that I take
Goes to my hands so they won't shake.
The blue ones that I use a lot
Tell me I'm happy when I'm not.
The purple pill goes to my brain
And tells me that I have no pain.
The capsules tell me not to wheeze
Or cough or choke or even sneeze..
The red ones, smallest of them all
Go to my blood so I won't fall.
The orange ones, very big and bright
Prevent my leg cramps in the night.
Such an array of brilliant pills
Helping to cure all kinds of ills.
But what I'd really like to know..
Is what tells each one where to go!
LAUGH A LITTLE EVERY DAY....

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example I am sitting here right now thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

   WILDER GIGGLES!

   Thanks, Glenn!

FINALLY:

From ArcaMax Jokes - 07/16/10:

Wait Your Turn

A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her, so she goes out and buys a gun. She goes to his apartment unexpectedly, and when she opens the door she finds him in the arms of a redhead.

Well, the blonde is really angry. She opens her purse to take out the gun, and as she does so, she is overcome with grief. She takes the gun and puts it to her head.

The boyfriend yells, "No, honey, don't do it!!!"

The blonde replies, "Shut up, you're next!"
*************

Magical Compact

Two blondes are walking down the street. One notices a compact on the sidewalk, and leans down to pick it up.

She opens it, looks in the mirror and says, "Hmm, this person looks familiar."

The second blonde says, "Here, let me see!"

So the first blonde hands her the compact. The second one looks in the mirror and says, "You dummy, it's me!"

*************

Late Night Call

A married couple were asleep when the phone rang at 2 in the morning.

The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the phone, listened a moment and said "How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!" and hung up.

The husband said, "Who was that?" The wife said, "I don't know, some woman wanting to know if the coast is clear."

See You in September

Written by Sid Wayne (1922-91) and Sherman Edwards (04 Apr 1919 - 30 Mar 1981)

Recorded by The Tempos, 1959; Recorded by the Happenings, 1966

I'll be alone each and every night
While you're away, don't forget to write

Bye-bye, so long, farewell
Bye-bye, so long

See you in September
See you when the summer's through
Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)
Saying goodbye at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)
Summer vacation (bye, baby bye, baby)
Is taking you away (bye, baby, goodbye)

Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September,
Or lose you to a summer love?
(counting the days 'til I'll be with you)
(counting the hours and the minutes, too)

Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long)

Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September,
Or lose you to a summer love?
(I'll be alone each and every night)
(While you're away, don't forget to write)

See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
I'm hopin' I'll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Well, maybe I'll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
