09/08/06 - NNHS Newsletter - Star Trek Turns 40
“Ston, she is yours. You may find that having - Mr. Spock (Amok Time, September 15, 1967) |
![]() |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I'm becoming quite comfortable with this "Pretend It's Another Day" routine. It meshes nicely with my CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS!!!! ARGHHH!!! Well, ANYWAY, here's your background information:
|
BIRTHDAYS:
REQUEST:
If
anyone knows where to locate Jean Hooker Hanson (Hampton HS - '64),
we've received an inquiry concerning her. She was last known to have
been somewhere in TX. She had a brother, Richard Hooker,
who attended NNHS; I do not know if he was
younger or older than she, as I cannot seem to find him in the 1955 - 1966
Anchors. (That proves absolutely nothing, of course. We all know
I could be staring directly at his photo and not see it).
If you know where to reach
either of them, please contact me so that I may relay that information.
Thanks!

From Evelyn Fryer Fish ('58) of TX - 08/06/06 - " BEACH TIME - Buckroe - Canepa
Cottage
Birthday Party on Saturday, Sep 30":
Hi Everyone!!!!
It is that time again!! Dick and I
will be at the Canepa Cottage from Sep 15-Oct 14 and we look forward to
seeing you ----------- the welcome mat is always out during the entire
month - please feel free to stop by at any time.
As we did last year - it is time to
"gather" again.
We have lost so many family members and
friends and know all of you, like us, feel grateful to be here this year.
For that reason, decided we should change the "open house" to a
"Birthday Party for All of Us".
The Birthday Party will be on Saturday,
September 30 from 2pm until ???????? The only Birthday Gift
that you need to bring in addition to yourself is something to eat OR
drink if you prefer something different (we will furnish Beer and Wine! )
![]()
This year, let's try to PARK past the
Cottage turning left into the condos where there is a vacant lot. That
way we will not be spending our time moving cars in and out that are in
front of the cottage. I want to mingle - not be the Valet attendant like
last year.

From Bobby Hilling ('62) of VA - 09/02/06:
Hi Carol,
This is a great way for all to recognize and remember
September 11; and at the same time show our support for our troops at home
and overseas.
My nephew's son, a 2005 graduate of the
U.S. Military Academy
at West Point, is proudly serving our Country in Iraq. He and all the
troops need and deserve our support.
Thanks for considering this to be posted in your
newsletters.
By the way, a NNHS delegation walking together would be neat..
And, great appreciation to you for all that you do for
us....Bobby
Thanks so much, Bobby!!! I
seem to be too computer illiterate to figure out how to convert this
attachment into a form I can use, so I just copied the information from it
for now, until a later time. I missed some of the graphics this way,
but I caught all of the pertinent information. |

From Gail Kiger Bonsey

From Dave Arnold ('65) of VA - 09/06/06 -
"Phish":
We have a Betta that is older than Typhoon and I noticed him going vertical
more often. I found that if I change the water about every 10 days he stays
horizontal and more active. Also keep the water level near the top of the
bowl for more volume.
Thanks, Dave!
We've also switched him back to his original "home" vase. He is seen swimming much more frequently now! |
From the President of the Class of 1965, Joe Wingo of NC - 09/06/06:
From Cookie Phillips Tyndall ('64) of VA - 09/06/06 - "Southern Belle":
How a true Southern Belle would handle
it! Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parents' nasty divorce. Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother-of-the-bride ever! A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new young wife had bought the exact same dress! Jennifer asked the new wife to exchange it, but she refused. "Absolutely not, I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied. Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, "Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day." A few days later, they went shopping and her mother did find another gorgeous dress. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, "Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it." Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of
course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before
the wedding!"
OOOOOH, that's baaaad! WILD GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Cookie!

Hi Carol,
I love that you're using our new motto to sign
off the newsletter. If we
could all go back to the beach for just one day...
I'm sitting here at my favorite coffee house,
PERKS, avoiding working on my mystery novel, which led me to my email,
which led me to the Newsletter. Not that this is a waste of time AT ALL!
To the Missing Persons Department, I'd love to
know if anyone hears from Allene Cohen ('68) or Fizzy (Phyllis)
Schwab ('68).
To the Readers of Books Department, I'd like to
add my Top Five Books: Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen; This
Side of Paradise, F. Scott Fitzgerald; Franny & Zooey, J.D.
Salinger; The Way of All Flesh, Samuel Butler; and Compromising
Positions, Susan Isaacs. (These are books I've read at least 3 times
each, so I actually remember their contents!)
It's back to school week here in Los Angeles,
an appropriate time to say
Typhoons Forever!

From Jennie Sheppard ('62) of NC -
09/06/06:
Hi Carol:
I love your
newsletters, especially the ones with animals in them. After 19 years
without a pet, I've decided I need a four legged companion. Here is a
picture of my new pup, actually she is only 4 weeks old today, so I don't
have her yet, but I'm allowed to visit her. She is so tiny, it took a
while to get a good picture of her face.
Unfortunately, the image did not arrive..... :(
She is a Chihuahua and
I have yet to come up with a name. Are you ready for this? Her mother's
name is Brownie! The pup should be less than 5 pounds when full grown.
Any suggestions for a name? Spanish? Hawaiian? - something pretty, like
her. I considered Alethia (after my Great-Grandmother) Savannah Sheppard
but then reconsidered when I noticed what her initials would be, Yikes!!!!
Keep up the good work
Carol.
Love, Jen :)
Thanks,
Jennie - and congratulations on your new "baby"!!!
I think I know the
perfect man to find you a pretty, feminine Spanish name - my son, Dale.
(All I could think of was something ending in "ita".) Here's
his report: |
From My #6 Son, Dale (Harty -
American School, IL - '02 - of
VA) - 09/08/06 -
"RE: Name the Puppy":
(Here are) some
nice fairly common Hispanic girl names (or at least names I've heard... for
people not dogs necessarily) Florita ("little Flower" - floor-EET-ah) Elena (ay-LAY-nah) Linda ("pretty" - LEEN-dah) Alma ("soul" - AHL -mah) Alin (ah-LEEN) Taide (TIE-day) Esperanza ("hope" - es-pear-ANS-ah) Erika (AY-ree-kah) ... I'm getting bored writing out the pronunciations... so just ask if any of 'em looks interesting and ya don't know how to pronounce it - it's Spanish so its all phonetic... Rita Maria Juana Lupe Mariana Evarista Elora Eva Gloria Diana Adora - or Dora - comes from Adoracion which means adoration or worship Adriana Alba - dawn Alejandra Alicia Amada - beloved Belen - Bethlehem Candelaria Luz Catalina Celestina - Little heavenly ... thing Charo or Rosario - which are different forms of the same name "Rosary" - i.e., Catholic Rosary Claudia Xochitl (SO-chill-t) - which is a Zapotec (native Indian tribe of Mexico) word that means flower some dog names I've heard: Chaparita (short girl - the ita part signifies a little bit ie a little bit short, but also a term of endearment as in "my cute little girl" - cha-pah-REE-tah) Blanca or Blancita (white) Chata - refers to the nose style - chata means kind of pug nosed Preciosa - precious Chillon - crier or whiner - (chee-OHn) Angelita - little angel Chamaca - little chump... but in a loving way Gorda - fat delgada - skinny Nieve - snow Ok - so if the dog gets a Spanish name - and even if not - since it's a (particularly) popular Mexican breed of dog - it'll be more fun to command her in Spanish. Ven or vente - come or come here you - ie ven conmigo - come with me salte - leave vete - go away no ladres - don't bark no muerdas - don't bite afuera - outside ie vete afuera - go outside Dogs seem to understand better when you speak Spanish to them... don't ask me why, but I'm dead serious - especially chihuahuas.... Thanks, Dale! ![]() We hope that helps,
Jennie!

- Ronnie and Lynette Taylor":
From Richie Allen ('66) of VA - 09/07/06 - "RE - Ronnie and Lynette Taylor":
Hey ... Sorry 'bout
that ... I didn't mean for anyone to do a lot of work or searching for me
. I just thought someone that frequented Carol's
NNHS website may be in contact with one of them . I haven't really
tried myself yet . This was my first effort to see if anyone knew where
they were . I heard through the grapevine Ronnie was in North Carolina
somewhere, but that was long ago . There are so many Taylors everywhere I
just thought it would be easier to see if someone had remained connected
over the years . I was pretty good friends with them for a few years
while in school.
Ronnie taught me to play some chords on the guitar. I have recently tried to pick it back up and learn to play ... guess that's what sparked my memory and interest in making contact . I wasn't really sure what NNHS class they were in either ... Ronnie may have been in our class or the class of '67 ... I'm not sure and all my Anchors and memorabilia have been scattered to the winds. He may be one of those to whom two classes lay claim. He was later in the Class of 1967. I missed that the first time I looked through the 1966 Anchor - DUH!!! Lynette was ah little cutie pie with long, light brown hair down past her butt ... she was about four foot six or something ... she couldn't even reach a pay phone !!! I checked "classmates.com" but was unsuccessful. The name is just to common to pursue ... like Smith or something ... and I'm sure Lynette has married; ............ She had ah smile that lit up the room. I'm sure someone will know where they are !! I'll be talking to them soon I'm sure. Someone's gonna hook me up !!!
Thanks ,
Richie
