    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 08/31/09 - "East End Schools":

Hi, TYPHOON Nation Conduit:

    Norm Covert ('61) of MD sure made a wonderful contribution to your website with some great photos. Allow me to refresh his memory a bit regarding a couple of elementary schools in East End.

(The original) Magruder Elementary was situated in the middle of the block on 22nd Street. It was one of the few that did not occupy the entire width of the block as it sat very close to the curb line of 22nd Street.

The George Washington Elementary was located in the 800 Block of 29th Street and 28th Street as it was situated in the center of the block, and midway between Marshall Avenue and Wickham Avenue. When the school building was no longer used as a school, it was occupied by a trade union for many years as a Union Hall.

I am certain of the details of this place in our Old Stomping Grounds for it was located in the midst of a newspaper route that kept me out of trouble for several years growing up in East End. The Union would not allow me to deliver The Times-Herald  and Daily Press to the Union Hall and the building and property took up a huge space within the boundary of my newspaper route.

TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   WOWZERONI! Thanks so much, Adonis! I've posted this on Our Schools When We Were Younger to help keep us straight:

 From Jay Styles ('68) of VA - 08/31/09, 8:12 AM - "Success":

Good Morning Carol,

Yes, that was the version of Nights in White Satin that I had been trying to send you.  Knew you would like it. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2twxibrVXno - Mario Frangoulis & Justin Hayward (2002) - Nights In White Satin

I liked the theme of the newsletter also, "Little Red Corvette".  We have a 2003, 50th anniversary Corvette, and it is Red, which according to my book on Corvettes, all Corvettes are red deep down.  It is also the most economical car we've ever owned, on the way home from Hilton Head, I filled up in Wytheville and averaged 34.5 mph coming home.  Our first one got 18mph on a good day! 

Thanks for listing the song by George Jones; I had never heard it before, very powerful indeed.

Hope you had a great birthday celebration.  Take Care.

Jay, '68

   I'm glad we were finally able to locate the right file, Jay! I think you'll enjoy this next note from my #2 son, too (which I somehow neglected to post earlier  ).

  All Corvettes are red deep down - I like that! Thanks, Sweetie!

        From My #2 Son, Brent Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of TX - 08/29/09 - "Red Corvette Issue - George Jones":

Mom

I tried following that link to the George Jones song  50,000 Names.  I found this link on YouTube...appears to be a video he had made for the song.

   Oh, WOW! Thanks, Brent! (Sorry I didn't post this earlier!  )

    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 09/01/09 - " Buddy Ray Martin":

Hi, Carol:

Buddy Ray Martin was born in Newport News, VA in 1948, so it is possible that he was in the Class of 1966 or 1967. He was Killed In Action in Vietnam in 1968 while serving in the United States Marine Corps.

A student at the University of Arizona is trying to secure some information on this Fallen Marine.

Perhaps you or some of your subscribers recall this young man. If so, it would be helpful if we can identify relatives.

TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   Thank you, Joe! I didn't know Buddy, nor can I find mention of him the the relevant Anchors.  It's possible he went to either Warwick High or Ferguson High. Let's see what we can learn.

   "Anyone? Anyone?"

    From the President of the Class of 1965, Joe Wingo of NC -

Hi Carol,

I am not aware of the other Wingo’s mentioned by    Jane Chambers (of VA). The name is not that commonplace so I would assume some connection along the way however. Personally, I think we are all related when you get right down to it!

Sterling Wingo, quite the football standout at Va.Tech years ago, is one I get asked about the most. I believe he became a doctor?

My family has it’s roots in southwest Virginia but that’s more information than you need!

Joe

   Thank you so much, Joe Sweetie! I forwarded your note to Jane:

   From Jane Chambers of VA - 09/01/09 - "RE: Fwd from     Joe Wingo of NC, President of the NNHS Class of 1965":

Carol, thanks for sending this. I'm beginning to think that Bill Wingo is a phantom!

Jane

   WILD GIGGLES!!! Sorry, Jane!

At the Store...

A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl in her basket. As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her mother told her, "No." The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly, "Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through - don't be upset. It won't be long now."

Soon, they came to the candy aisle and the little girl began to shout for candy. When told she couldn't have any, she began to cry. The mother said, "There, there, Monica, don't cry - only two more aisles to go and then we'll be checking out."

When they got to the checkout stand, the little girl immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there'd be no gum purchased. The mother said serenely, "Monica, we'll be through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap."

The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped the woman to compliment her. "I couldn't help noticing how patient you were with little Monica," he began.

The mother replied, "I'm Monica - my little girl's name is Tammy."

You Must Keep Going


Sometimes you must keep going.

Life punches you in the stomach. It knocks your breath out and leaves you bowed and gasping.

You lose a job. . . you must keep going.

You find out you have a serious illness. . .you must keep going.

You have a headache. . . you must keep going.

Sometimes the things in life are not serious but they affect you nevertheless. . . you must keep going.

You have a big argument with your spouse. Neither of you feels like talking and maybe not even looking at each other. . . you must keep going.

Your son rebels and you have a blowout with him. . . you must keep going.

The bills seem to never end and the money seems to never start.

You must keep going.

There are times that make us just want to curl up, stick our heads in a hole, and make the world go away.

We can't, because we must keep going.

Life is full of those circumstances.

Many of you when you woke up this morning, for a variety of reasons, didn't feel like getting out of bed, but you had to.

You must keep going.

In times like those, and we all have them, remember the blessing.

The blessing is not in that we must keep going.

The blessing is that we can.

   Thanks, Shari!

Carol,

Today everything comes up as HTTP server error 503.  Thanks for all you do.  You are greatly appreciated!

Steve Hochman

   Hi, Steve, why, so it does! That always means that .00freehost.com is down, presumably going maintenance. Say, d'ya think this might mean they're finally gonna fix "The Problem"?!?  Now, wouldn't that be lover-ly!

   Thanks for letting me know!  

    From Pat Beck Letzinger ('57) of VA - 09/01/09, 8:52 AM - "Newsletters":

Hi Carol:

Pat Letzinger

Class of '57

   No, ma'am, as I told    Steve (Hochman - '60 - of VA), this MIGHT even be GOOD news!  Thanks, Pat!

NOTE: Well, of course, that was just another one of my unfulfilled fantasies. When the server came back up, it was still having the same "issues".

    From Evelyn Vretos ('55) of VA - 09/01/09 - "note fr ev":

Hi Carol,

I'm still getting red flags about "malware" so, I'm not opening the emails.  It's so disappointing my mac doesn't want me to open the website.  I'm going to forward next email to my brother in Denver - he works for Apple, also a NNHS alum.  Maybe he'll have advice for me.  

Love, Ev

   Let's hope so, Evelyn - thanks!
