Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I stumbled across this music
quite by accident. Other than the name, I have no idea what it is, or who
wrote it, or whether
or not it has any lyrics, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
A very Happy 58th Birthday today to Chip Clark ('65) of Northern VA!

Hit # 37,000 was made on Friday, August 19, 2005 at 1:16 PM by someone from
hr.hr.cox.net. Well, that
narrows it down - NOT!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/page-hits.html
I'm starting to go back through my files for all the hundreds of items I
neglected to post
in the last three months. Here's one now:
From Linda Harris Gaskins ('66) of VA - 07/13/05:
I would love to be added to
the mailing list. I happened to run across the site while surfing the web.
As you can see, I am employed by C&F Mortgage Corp. and have been in the
mortgage business
for over 30 years. I actually live in Hayes (Gloucester) and love it. I was
married until November 1, 2002,
when my husband of 29 years, Jim, passed away very suddenly with colon cancer.
I am now an
advocate of this very terrible disease and let everyone know that they should
have a colonoscopy
by the age of 50, which of course we did not know about.
I love reading all the info in the website and again, thank everyone who made it possible.
Linda Gaskins
Vice President / Branch Manager, C&F Mortgage Corporation
Oh, my, Linda! I'm so sorry to hear that! I applaud your advocacy work. That is certainly something of which
I have at last added you to the Alumni Page (you've obviously been on the mailing list since July) - and welcome!

From the Daily Press - 08/18/05:
Alma L. Warboys
NEWPORT NEWS - Alma L. Warboys, known to
her family as 'Me-maw', and to her late husband, Daryl L. Warboys
as 'Dolly', passed away on Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2005. Born June 13, 1923, in
Franklin, Texas, she made her home
and life in Newport News in the late 1940's and belonged to Parkview Baptist
Church. She was known for her
beautiful array of flowers that adorned her yard each summer, her delicious
cooking and her many hours of work
promoting safe boating through the United States Power Squadron. However, her
biggest pleasure was taking care
of her family, who will miss her eternally. Alma was preceded in death by her
14-year-old great-grandson, Kenneth
Russell Harlow Jr., July 12, 2004. Survivors include two daughters, Mary Ann
Harlow and husband, Russell,
of Newport News, Va. and Elizabeth Woodson and husband, R.C., of Richmond, Va.;
four grandchildren, Kenneth
Harlow and wife, Janet, of Palm Coast, Fla., Daryl Harlow and wife, Erin of
Newport News, Kevin Harlow and wife,
Shannon, of Hampton, Va. and Elizabeth Gordon and husband, Chris, of
Gainesville, Va.; and nine great-grandchildren,
Jennifer Flood, Kathy Harlow, Victoria Harlow, Kevin Reed Harlow, Cameron
Harlow, Jeremy Harlow, Joshua Harlow
and Triston Lopez, all of Newport News and Kylie Gordon of Gainesville. The
family will receive friends from 7
to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19, 2005, at Peninsula Funeral Home. A graveside
service will be conducted at 10 a.m.
Saturday, in Peninsula Memorial Park, officiated by the Rev. Lawrence J.
Biermann.
Published in the Daily Press on 8/18/2005.
Once again we extend our deepest sympathies to Mary and Elizabeth and their families.
From Wayne Stokes ('65) of VA - 08/18/05:
.... Again, keep up your excellent work. It is excellent!! .......Continue your work. It is worthy.
Thanks, Wayne Honey! I appreciate that - really!
From Kelly Loose Bustamante ('58) of VA - 08/19/05:
Thanks, Kelly!
That's what I like to see - a positive approach! I'm still just beginning
to dream, and you have me
already moved back home! GIGGLES!!! Yet the past five years
have taught me that nothing is too outrageous
to come true, and if we believe it can happen, it really can!
I absolutely
love that quotation, Kelly! (I spent about thirty minutes trying to
find its origin, to no avail. Sob!) It is
so true!!! Virginia exerts a tremendous pull on her children, and I think
the Hampton Roads area in particular does
so. My sister (Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky - '59) and I were
discussing this just Monday. She said whenever she
returns back to NC from a visit, she suddenly thinks, "What am I doing?!?"
And whenever I'm leaving to come back
to NC after a visit I look back as we're crossing the
James River Bridge, and invariably
begin to sob just at the
thought of leaving "her sacred soil". Oh, crum - I'm bawling right
now just thinking about it!
Okay, I'm going to plant that dream a little deeper in my heart and watch what happens. It brought me this far!
Thanks so much for the encouragement, Kelly!!! I look forward to meeting you!

Well, here is ... a
gif of you playing lean-back with Eme which I am fairly certain was
taken on August 9. There was a video file of the horsie game, but I
couldn't extract
screenshots for a gif for some reason.
OOOH, thanks, Nathaniel!!!
(Meanwhile my children try to entice me into moving back to Illinois with adorable grandchildren....)
(Hey, what fun is it running
a web site if I can't abuse the privilege by flaunting pictures of my darling
grandchildren from time to time?!? WILD GIGGLES!!!)
From Dave Arnold ('65) of VA - 08/19/05:
That was a great idea to add the
hotel pictures to the announcement.
Thanks for doing that.
What type of counseling does Paul do? I have some contacts through
the jail with the Community Services Board who provides counselors
here at the jail. Maybe we can make something happen.
HOT-DIGGITY!!!
Y'all
are a fast acting group!
Lemme
see, over the past thirty years or so, Paul has done grief counseling, stress
counseling, loss counseling,
marriage counseling, job counseling, recidivism counseling - am I forgetting
any? He's probably done that too!
We'll send you his resume!
I'm glad you liked the pictures - and thank you!
From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of VA - 08/19/05:
Sandi! I was just thinking about you! I am sooo happy to be
back! I've neglected everything thing else all week,
but hey!
And I'm starting to get very excited about the reunion!!! See you there!
I added your
name to the Planning to Attend page. (See, Sweeties, the way this works
is if I have a pretty good
idea that you're going to be there, I add your name. Once your check is
received by the Reunion Committee,
Dave Arnold will notify me, and I'll add a little
"CONFIRMED"
tag next to your name - just as we
did last year
for the Class of 1964)

From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 08/19/05:
You may add
my email address to the list. I am hoping some of my "lost" friends will
surface soon.
If anyone has seen or heard about Linda Letchworth or Pam Morris
(both class of 60), please let
Carol or me know.
Thanks for your hard work.
Wasn't that a fun reunion,
Joan? The great thing about class reunions is that that each have their
own special
feeling, their own special spirit. And the great thing about NNHS
reunions is that they're all permeated by that great
Typhoon spirit!
It was so good to finally meet you at last! And you're right - Fred is a treasure to the whole community!
I've added your email addy next to your name here: Thanks!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/alumni-list
And if any of y'all know the whereabouts of Linda and Pam, do let us know, please!
From Sarah Puckett Kressaty ('65) of VA - 08/19/05:
Hey Carol:
I so TOTALLY agree
with Janice (McCain Rose - '65 - of VA) and
Steve (Pullen - '65 - of VA).
If some people were offended by you, after all this time, don't worry! Not your
problem!!!
How
small
some can be! You do a great job as I have always said and just keep on keeping
on! We appreciate you and
all you do! Don't listen to the negative! You're terrific!!
Sarah
Thanks, Miss Sarah Sugah! I really appreciate that!
From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of VA - 08/19/05:
Carol,
I knew I forgot to tell you something in my previous e-mail.
Glenn Dye ('60 - of TX) mentioned being
in VA for a family reunion. It seems that my sister and brother-in-law were at
that same family reunion
as it turns out that Glenn and my brother-in-law are cousins. Glenn and I grew
up a block apart, on 24th
and 25th Streets, and I never knew he was related to my in-laws! Small world,
isn't it?!!
Sandi
WOWZERS!!! How cool is that?!? Thanks, Sandi!
From Glenn Dye ('60) - of TX - 08/19/05:
Carol
I don’t know if Steve Pullen ('65 - of VA)
remembers me or not but I just wanted him to know that
we are about 4th cousins. He is related to a Carey Dye in Greensboro N.C.
and I am Carey's 3rd
cousin.
Glenn Dye
WOWZERONI!!!
What is is that Tom Flax ('64) of VA is always saying about our being
just one big Typhoon family?
Sometimes it's even most literally true!!!
Y'all have a good day - and take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol
