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.   Cottage (Wild and Wonderful on front) - second left past the cottage....the first left has a gate for tenants only 760 North 1st St Cottage telephone:  757-850-3194 Ev's Cell Phone:       817-845-1824   I will also have my laptop:  evelynfish@msn.com   Look forward to seeing each of you.   Love, Evelyn    This is gonna be waaaay cool!!!  Thanks again, Ev!

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!!!

during WWII - 09/05/06 - "Dear Carol, We is friends ":

Dear Carol, Who do I think of immediately when I get a picture like this ??? Why YOU, of course !!! Cats are so adorable. They each have a distinct personality, just like people.
		I have two cats and I take good care of them. The female cat follows me around all over the house. She wants to be near me constantly, BUT - she does not like to be held. For her show of affection, she STANDS on my TOES with her front paws. Her name is TOOTSIE. I will send a picture later when I find it in my File. More later, Your Friend, Herbie
Awwww - these two are particularly adorable!  Thanks, Herbie Darlin'!

    From Gail Kiger Bonsey (Ferguson HS - '73) of OR - 09/05/06:

Happy belated birthday, Carol!     Thanks, Lady! We've had a long hot, dry summer out here in Oregon in the Pacific Northwest - many forest fires in our state and in Washington state.  My brother    (Steve Kiger - '66 - of VA) lucked out on his yearly visit this July with the weather.  He arrived here right after our freakiest 100 to 104 temps left and drifted your way.  He got to see his one and only U of Oregon nephew who joined us at our annual park festival.  Living across the street from this park has its perks!    (Below are 3 pictures..  left to right Jim; Collin; college mate Jana; Steve; and buddy Ted.........Jim (winner of your web page train math trivia contest)  and Steve at our park.....and Steve and me with my new cat 'Katy'..)....   Hope the '66 reunion is a great success!  Glad you're going as an honored guest.     GIGGLES!!!  So am I!!! Gail (Kiger) Bonsey  FHS '73      Go Ducks!

  From Christine Wilson Starkman ('68) of CA - 09/06/06 - "We'll Always Have Buckroe":

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... Hi to Jay Stiles ('68 - of VA), and thanks for the    Now and    Then pix. I do like a man in uniform .   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! Chris Starkman (We'll Always Have Buckroe)

I've had a weakness for men in uniform since I was two years old myself, Chris!  WILDEST GIGGLES!!!    Forty-eleven years ago, I read Pride and Prejudice and Franny and Zooey; the others I recognize only by name.  Thanks for sharing your faves with us!    And thanks again to    Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern Virginia for supplying us with our new motto!  I'd hate to tell you how often Buckroe appears in my sleeping dreams - let alone my waking ones!    Thanks again, Chris!

    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!  The names are lovely - and the information is fascinating!     We hope that helps, Jennie!

  From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 09/07/06 - "I've used all these & they really work!! ":

		David Darlin', you are as hysterically funny as you are gorgeous!    Thanks for my laugh de jour!

    From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 09/06/06 - "RE - Ronnie and Lynette Taylor":

My 1964 Anchor shows a Ronnie Taylor in the Class of 1966. Perhaps    Dee (Hodges Bartram - '66 - of VA) has tracked him down already. Have you posed the query to her? Has he ever attended a '66 reunion?  Does anyone in '66 know anything about him? That is the only way we will find him; Ronnie/Ronald/Ron Taylor is not a very unique name. There will be a million of 'em. We must assume that Lynette has married, which will make her all but invisible. Nevertheless, I will check the NN Directories in the Norfolk Library for Taylors in Newmarket ... and hope that there are nor more than one. With a parent name, I can check the SSDI. If the given name is unique (I can only dream that it is Ignacio Taylor), There may be a phone directory or SSDI listing. All this is very speculative.    Thanks, Captain!

"Suggestion for your site"::

Hey, I was just looking at a site that someone at one of the message boards I visit set up. Essentially, it is a map of the world, and users enter a bit of information to indicate where they live. Then, you get a map that looks kind of like this: http://www.frappr.com/yldsmembermap I thought you and your classmates/viewers of your site would get a kick out of one for your site. Love ya, talk to ya later.    WOWZERONI-ROONI-RINI, Nathaniel!  This is sooooo cool!  Thanks for setting it up for me as well!    Okay, Sweetie-Pies, where are those herald trumpets?!?  This represents the first of several interactive sites we have in mind for the site - other than the Guest Book, of course.   Check it out, check in, and let's fill that map - 'cause so far, I'm the only one there!  (And I haven't created a profile yet, myself!) http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/alumni-list.html      http://www.frappr.com/nnhsclassof65website

  From Jim Dossett ('66) of FL - 09/07/06 - "NNHS Band recording":

Hi Carol   I was passing emails back n forth with    Al Dorner ('66 - of VA) about the up coming '66 reunion and since he is spinning the tunes he asked if I had any special requests.  Besides dedicating "Catch Us If You Can" by DC5 from all of Julie's runners to all of the other Peninsula District runners ... I had none. EXCEPT ... does any one of your readers have a recording of the ( I can hear it coming over the speakers now).. Newport News High School Typhoon Marching Senior Band?   I would love to hear GIANT  or CONQUEST  ...  to hear the tenor drums echo the snares with a few measures of GILWALK or even Jody Glazer's  ('65 - of VA) (I think) own Triple S (Shockley Student Special).  I know time is short but if someone has any NNHS band recordings I will pay to get a copy for the reunion either to Al or myself.   Thanks   Jim (Jimmy) Dossett NNHS "66 obxwolfpack@aol.com    Ohhh, Honey, I do believe our Wizard of Wonderment,  Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA, moved Heaven and Earth while he was preparing for the Open Reunion of the Class of 1964 two years ago in an attempt to find just a thing.  If it exists at all, it must be hidden under seven rocks.    Let's give it one more try, though.  How grand that would be!!!  Thanks, Jimmy!    "Anyone?  Anyone?"
