Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOntcCvfWYs - Silver Threads Among the Gold - Bonnie Prince Billy
http://www.grandparents-day.com/
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Threads_Among_the_Gold:
"Silver Threads Among the Gold", first copyrighted in 1873, was an extremely popular song in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today it is a staple of barbershop quartet singing. The lyrics are by Eben E. Rexford, and the music by Hart Pease Danks.
In 1930, an Associated Press story published in the New York Times gave some background on the writing of these lyrics. We quote the article:
"Silver Threads Song Traced to Poet’s ‘Re-Hash’ on Order" Shiockton, Wis. (AP).—The love ballad, “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” which has stirred the hearts of more than one generation, was not the inspiration of an aging poet but a “re-hash” produced on order. The story developed after the unveiling of a monument here in honor of the author of the words, Eben E. Rexford, who died in 1916. Rexford made a living by writing verse and flower and garden articles for magazines. When he was 18, he wrote and sold for $3 some verses entitled “Growing Old.” Later, H. P. Danke, composer of the music for “Silver Threads,” wrote to him requesting words for a song. Rexford dug into his scrapbook and revised “Growing Old.” [1]
When Rexford spoke about the song, he explained that he worked his way through college by writing, and it was when he was in college that Danks sent him a request for lyrics, offering to pay three dollars for each song. Rexford submitted nine songs and received $18.00, but no accounting of which six had been accepted or which three had been rejected. In telling the story of the song, Rexford said that he didn't know whether he had been paid $3.00 for it or nothing, since he didn't know if it had been among the six accepted or the three rejected. Rexford first heard the song when a company of Oneida Indians gave a concert in Shiocton and sang it.[2]

It would seem that the dipwellian who runs this site became distracted over SEVEN years ago and never finished most of the Football Sections at all, so (at long last) they're being completed now:

I thought I had related this story
somewhere in the archive many years ago, but I cannot locate it now. Rose and I first met when we were nine years old. We were attending a weekend family campout with the Sunday School Department of Trinity Methodist Church. We became best friends right then, even though we attended different elementary schools. We sang in the three youth church choirs together, and spent long hours talking on the telephone as young girls do, and as often as we could, visited in each other's homes. When we began high
school, she introduced me to her friend,
