Happy Rosh Hashanah!

"May you be inscribed in the Book of Life!"

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   If you've just joined us, it's time for a review.  When we first began, we elected to observe and celebrate
nothing, so as not to offend anyone.  This was not fun, pleasant, friendly, or in the end, even non-offensive.  So
now instead of observing nothing and celebrating nothing together, we try to observe and celebrate everything
together, because that's what families do.

   So - Happy Rosh Hashanah!  It begins tonight at sundown.


HISTORY LESSON:

Short Version: http://www.joi.org/celebrate/rosh/ :

   "Rosh Hashanah celebrates the creation of the world and is a time for reflection and self evaluation. It is one
of the Jewish tradition's holiest days, the days when Jews most commonly attend services at synagogue.
Rosh Hashanah begins this year (2005) on the evening of October 3rd."

PAGE HITS:

  Hit #52,000 was made sometime on Thursday, September 21, 2006 by an unknown user when I wasn't paying attention.

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/page-hits.html

 



REQUEST:

1. I'm asking everyone to please quit sending my mail to either of these email addies: NNHS65@nc.rr.com and cluckmeat@nc.rr.com. I have come to believe that Outlook is Evil Incarnate because of all the trouble it causes me.  When anything is sent there, I now must first forward it to a Yahoo account before I can even process it.  Otherwise, it simply shuts down my Front Page as I'm working on the website and Newsletters, causing me unbelievable consternation.  Twice recently it has caused to think that I've lost important documents.  (It actually just erased them from my desktop links, while leaving them intact in my files.)  It was also the initial cause of all my computer woes last year.

   So effective immediately, please change your address books and delete those horrendous accounts!!!  Use either NNHS65@yahoo.com or cluckmeat@yahoo.com - or in fact, any of the other Yahoo accounts of mine that you may have.  Thank you soooo much!

2.   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, but also graduated from HHS.  I believe he was older than she.

   If you know where to reach either of them, please contact me so that I may relay that information.  Thanks!

 



  From Dee Hodges Bartram ('66) of VA - 09/19/06:

Carol,
 
We still have people signing up this week - which is great.  However, our absolute deadline is next Wednesday, Sept. 27.  That is when we close out the food order.  I would hate for people to show up at the door Saturday night and the food run short.  While we would not dream of turning people away - there are deadlines we have to meet and the food is one of them. 
 
It looks like the storm that I was worried about - Helene, may not be a factor after all.  I have been praying so hard that we have good weather.  I hope those attending will say a little prayer as well. 
 
Take care and see you next week!!
 
Dee

   Thanks, Dee!

   There ya go, Sweetie Pies!!!  It's not too late!  Just contact Dee at dhbartram@cox.net. RIGHT AWAY and come see us all!  There are THREE events planned.  Surely you'll be able to make at least one of them!

  From Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA -  09/20/06 - "Mouse Story":

Carol,
 
This little story certainly hits the nail on the head.  Enjoy... and thank YOU!
 
 
   
       
       
 

Mouse Story
...
 
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

 "What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered -
he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

 Retreating to the farmyard,
the mouse proclaimed the warning.

 "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap
in the house!"

 The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and
said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

 The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a
mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

 The pig sympathized, but said,
"I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.  Be assured you are in my prayers."

The mouse  turned to the cow and said, "There is a
mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

 The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. 
I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."

 So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected,
to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone. 

 That very night a sound was heard throughout the house --
like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

 The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.  In the
darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

 The snake bit the farmer's wife. 
The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

 But his wife's sickness continued,
so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer  butchered the pig.

 The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.
So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

 The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great 
sadness.


 So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you,
remember -- when one of us is threatened,
we are all at risk.

 We are all involved in this journey called life.
We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

 SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT
AND LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.
 
REMEMBER:
EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;
OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

 One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend.
Amen.

 

     
     
   
   
  
   Thank you so much, Renee!
 
  This is a rather chilling reminder of just how interconnected we all are.  It's a reminder we really should not allow ourselves to forget.

   And thank you for all the ways in which you've enriched our pages, too!

 


  From Johnnie Bateman ('68) of VA - "A Woman's Poem":

A Woman's Poem
 
 
 He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake.
He said my biscuits were too hard...
Not like his mother used to make.

I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned around and smacked the crap out of him...
Like his MOMMA used to do.
 
 
   YOWZERONI!!!  WILD GIGGLES!!!  Personally, I'll just keep following the advice given by my maternal grandmother,    Hattie Warlick Payne Frix (b. 22 July 1880 - Morganton, Burke, NC; d. 23 Sep 1943 - Richmond, VA):

""Never slap a man. If he's a gentleman, you don't need to. If he's not a gentleman, you don't dare to."

   Thanks, Johnnie!

 


  From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 09/20/06 - "Great Song.":

Hi, Carol and Dave:
 
While I was working this morning, I played a DVD where Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand recorded an album entitled "Guilty Pleasures" on the anniversary of their first album entitled "Guilty" and one of the songs written by Barry Gibb, Ashley Gibb, and Steven Gibb and sung by Barbra Streisand entitled "Stranger In A Strange Land" is just outstanding. I hope you have heard this song, about a lover writing to her husband who is fighting in a strange land, and is looked upon as a stranger in a foreign war.
 
She sings it with such emotion that you cannot help but be touched by it.
 
Hope all is well.
 
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   Thanks, Adonis!  I do love that song!    Perhaps our Wizard of Wonderment will be able to find it in a form we can use this fall! 

   Oui, Mon Capitan?!?

  From Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 09/21/06 - "the article":

 Linda (Alfrey Walker - '61 - of VA) /   Carol (Buckley Harty - '65 - of NC),

You’re quite correct about the penal colony thing, but regardless, that was then and now is now. And regardless of Christian or Judeo-Christian religious background, the point is more whether you’re Black, Yellow, or White, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or Muslim, if you don’t like Australia and can’t abide by her principles and laws, then leave. America should take the same stance. By the way, I’m equally sick of “Press one for English,…………”


Chandler Nelms

   Oh, certainly, Chandler Darlin'!   We didn't miss the whole thrust of the article; we were simply struck by some of the peripherals!

   Your point was well taken.  On the same subject, I have another item I think you'll appreciate coming soon.  And I'll probably find one of a slightly differing - and not so popular - point of view as well.

   Thanks, Gorgeous!

 


  From John Murden ('60) of VA - 09/21/06:

You ARE allowed to miss a day or so every now and then! 

John 

   WILD GIGGLES!!!  Well, ya'but (that's a contraction I used to always say to my mama), they don't always make sense if I don't finish them in time!

   Thanks, John!   I'll try to lighten up - soon!  MORE GIGGLES!!!

 



MORE FOOD:

  From Tom Oxner ('65) of AR - 09/21/06:

The ZIPLOC OMELETTE (from    Joan Ownby Mathieson - '58 - of VA) that was described in the Food newsletter works really well. A couple of weekends ago, I attended a Boy Scout campout at Greers Ferry Lake in Arkansas. For the Saturday morning breakfast, our patrol had ZIPLOC OMELETTES. They were great! Not only did they taste great, the cleanup is very easy (put the bag in the trash). They provided enough nutrition for the scouts to clean up Scout Island and go tubing for a few hours.

Tom Oxner
Conway, AR

   WOWZERS!!!  A recommendation couldn't get much more glowing than that!

   Thanks, Tom - and Joan!

   And as the mother of six Eagle Scouts, I salute you for your continued involvement with Scouting!

  From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 09/21/06 - "Butter...":

This morning it was actually cold...I could not bear the thought of Special K with milk even though it is my favorite warm weather breakfast...I got out my itty bitty skillet and put some BUTTER in it and scrambled a couple of eggs and put a healthy sprinkling of cheddar cheese on them and then I microwaved some grits (yes we do have those in Yankeeland) and put some MORE BUTTER on them and put them together on the plate where they were very happy and ate them up quick as a flash!  What a wonderful way to start the day! 

   Mmmmm - BUTTER!!!

Last night I made "Dump Cake" which is a Southern Living recipe...you put a can of crushed pineapple in a 9 x 13 pan, over that add a can of cherry pie filling, then evenly put a yellow cake mix (from the box...still powder)  then over all of that you drizzle ONE AND A HALF STICKS OF BUTTER!!!  Then if that is not enough you cover that with a cup or so of coconut and about a half cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.  Bake at 350 for an hour.  This is delicious hot or cold but it is really heavenly warm with ice cream on top!  It is quick and easy to make with ingredients on hand.  There are several variations on this cut I like this one the best!

   Ohhh, yeah!!!  I've made this several times before, but never with coconut and pecans!  YUMMY!!!

   Thanks, Lady!  See you soon!

 


  From Tom Norris (Hampton HS - '73) of VA - 09/21/06 - "Who wants cake?":

More food for ya, Carol .... gross in a cute way!

This is *no joke*.

READ THE INGREDIENTS AND STUFF FIRST AND THEN LOOK AT THE PHOTO.

TRUST ME... DON'T LOOK AT THE PHOTO FIRST, BUT LAST.

This is for all you bakers out there looking for something a little different.........

WANT TO HAVE FUN A A PARTY? PREPARE THIS RECIPE!  COMPLETELY EDIBLE, BUT YOUR FRIENDS MAY NOT THINK SO!

On a recent visit to our veterinarian to get shots for our cat I found this recipe on the waiting room
bulletin board. After recovering from hysterical laughter, I obtained a copy from the office staff so that my
wife could make it, which she refused to do. I took it to work and gave the recipe to a lady at work who
loves cats. The pictures below show the results of her work. It doesn't look very nice, but it's actually
quite tasty, so I decided to pass it along.

CAKE INGREDIENTS:
1 box spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 box of white cake mix
1 package white sandwich cookies
1 large package vanilla instant pudding mix
A few drops green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls or equivalent

SERVING "DISHES AND UTENSILS"
1 NEW cat-litter box
1 NEW cat-litter box liner
1 NEW pooper scooper

1) Prepare and bake cake mixes, according to directions, in any size pan. Prepare pudding and chill.
Crumble cookies in small batches in blender or food processor.  Add a few drops of green food coloring to 1 cup of cookie crumbs. Mix with a fork or shake in a jar. Set aside.

2) When cakes are at room temp erature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with half of the
remaining cookie crumbs and enough pudding to make the mixture moist but not soggy. Place liner in litter box and pour in mixture.
 
3) Unwrap 3 Tootsie Rolls and heat in a microwave until soft and pliable. Shape the blunt ends into slightly curved points. Repeat with three more rolls. Bury the rolls decoratively in the cake mixture. Sprinkle remaining white cookie crumbs over the mixture, then scatter green crumbs lightly over top.

4) Heat 5 more Tootsie Rolls until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with crumbs from the litter box. Heat the remaining Tootsie Roll until pliable and hang it over the edge of the box. Place box on a sheet of newspaper and serve with scooper. Enjoy!
 
 
  (ANY OF YOU WHO HAVE A HALLOWEEN PARTY TO ATTEND, THINK ABOUT THIS CAKE.)  
"Kitty Litter Cake"    
     
  
   Tommee Dear, rarely have I encountered a cake which didn't tempt me beyond my power to resist, but this one just might do it!  YUCKK!!!  WILD GIGGLES!!!

   Thanks, Babe!   With those ingredients, it must taste delicious.  Maybe we should just try eating it blindfolded!

 


  From Cheryl Mays Howard ('66) of VA - 09/21/06:

I do hope you know that recipe I sent was for a joke...although it actually was  real thing my Grandma cooked.. and I ate it too. ha ha
 
Peace & Blessing,
Cheryl

   Oh, yes, Lady - I knew you were joking!   But I also knew it was an old treasured family recipe, and I didn't want to make light of it - even if I'm not planning to ever make and/or partake of it! 

   Thanks, Cheryl!

 



  From Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 09/21/06:

Carol.....I enjoyed your newsletter as always; however, I could NOT BELIEVE my sister     Cheryl (Mays Howard - '66 - of VA) sent that recipe for "Hog Head Puddin'"......My grandmother Harvey had that on the breakfast table when I was growing up....I asked her what it was as I normally like pudding....she said it is "souse meat"...from the hog's head.  GROSS!!!!  I never touched it and was shocked to hear that Cheryl tried it. 

   WILD HYSTERICAL GIGGLES!!!

My grandparents on my mother's side were married July 1, 1906 and my other grandparents married Sept. 2, 1890.  My parents are from old generations.  Back then, who knows what they ate.  It was a different world.  There were 13 children in mother's family and 18 children in dad's family.  In both cases, all these children were born from the one union....not two wives.  I have always been a picky eater and would not have eaten this had I not been.  
 

I enjoyed the comments by    Ron Miller, '59, about Mahatma Ghandi......I loved that profile about him.  It was a hoot!  That reminds me of the poem that was in the N.N.H.S. Literary Magazine, in 1905, probably not written by a student as it says, "Ex", at the end.  I know the high school was not named Newport News, though it was referred to as the Newport News....High School.....more commonly called the Central School.  Our good friend    Dave Spriggs ('64 - of VA) gave me this treasure last year.  Here is the poem:  "A fly and a flea in a flue...Were imprisoned.  Now what could they do?  Said the fly, 'Let us flee!'  Said the flea, 'Let us fly' - So they flew through a flaw in the flue."    -Ex.  The book was called, "The High School Student", dated June, 1905.  Carol, I probably told you about this before......a guy at work, a brainy computer guy and I were talking late last year and I shared the poem with him.  The very next day, he said, "Fred, I have been thinking about the Fly and the Flea poem......well, you know....a flea cannot fly, they hop; hence, I suppose he actually hopped on the back of the flea in order to fly through the flaw in the flue!"  Isn't that a hoot....that he would dissect the poem in such a manner?

   I remember all that well, Fred - including when David gave the booklet to you, and the sweet expressions on both your faces!   And obviously your friend's mind works in the same inscrutable fashion as mine!  I see no problem - nor even anything strange - with all that stewing and worrying over goofy, meaningless details!  WILDER GIGGLES!!!
 

Well, Carol....I certainly hope to see you at the N.N.H.S. Class of 1966 Reunion on Sept. 30th.  Also, I look forward to seeing our friend Dave Spriggs and many other very special people. 
 
Take care, Fred Mays, '60.

   I'll be there with bells on!  Well, maybe not bells - but Weejuns!

   Thanks, Fred!

 


  From Al Simms ('60) of VA - 09/21/06 - "NNHS Alma Mater":

Anyone from any class,
 
I have software that allows me to create midis and I have done several hundred of them.  I would very much like to do our old NNHS Alma Mater but don't remember the tune well enough to do a midi of it.  Does anyone have sheet music for it - not the words - I have those.  A full orchestra or band score would be great but I will take what I can get, even if it is just the melody.  You can email it to me at asimmsjr@aol.com as a graphic, pdf or whatever or mail to me a Xerox copy at AL Simms, 5 Warfield Place, Fredericksburg, VA 22401.  Of course if someone else has already done this then just email the midi.
 
Thanks for your help.
Al

   Al, I really let you down terribly on this one.    You've been patiently asking me for this for several months.  We've been searching for this sheet music for years now.  I almost have it transcribed.  It would be far easier if I still had a piano at home, but  I have most of it finished now in two part harmony; I cannot seem to recall the other parts.  If I'm unable to complete it VERY soon, I'll just call you up and sing it to you myself.

   Q.:  What sounds more lame than someone singing an a capela solo?

   A.  Someone singing an a capela solo over the telephone.

   Thanks for the nudge, Sweetie!

 


    From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 09/22/06:

Well, since my comments about Ghandi really made you groan, try this:
 
A vulture boarded an airplane, carrying two dead possums. The stewardess looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

   OOOH, WILD HYSTERICAL GIGGLES!!!  Keep 'em coming, Ronnie!  I do love puns!  Thanks!

 


  From Joan Ownby Mathieson ('58) of VA - 09/22/06:

Carol; 

My son fooled around with my computer this morning and suddenly I'm getting you loud and clear..... I started reading back around Aug 1st and saw my letter to you about putting a check in the mail, and it hit me like a ton of bricks that I had not sent you that check.  It WILL be in the mail today.......and I'm sorry about letting that slip.  However, it sounds like you're getting lots of incoming cards and letters to help you with finances.  GREAT!  I'm glad you are.......we should be paying you a weekly salary for all the work you do for all of us.  Your hard work is greatly appreciated it sounds like. 

Joan

   Thanks so much, Pretty Lady!

P.S. Cooper (my son) removed two spy ware programs from my computer which my other son (Brian) had installed......Cooper said those programs were not compatable with my computer because my computer is too old..............Maybe that was what my trouble was in opening up the newsletters. (Yes, I do open e-mail under Outlook Express) I also have a YaHoo account which catches all the viagra adds and junk which might have virus problems........also my Gamewood e-mail account removes junk mail before it gets to me......This is probably more than you wanted to know! ha ha

   Not at all, Joan!  I'm usually aware of only two conditions in life - broken and fixed.  I prefer fixed.  But when computers act silly, I like to know why so I can attend to it immediately with as little frustration as possible.  So this is very helpful information!  Thanks again, Pretty Lady!

during WWII - 08/21
/06 - "Dear Carol, Too Cute to keep to myself, Getting along in life"(#12 in a series of 24):

Dear Carol,

The first picture has been around many times before, but ... enjoy the 23 other pictures. Some of the pictures may have been staged or touched up digitally, but they are still interesting to see.

Your Friend, Herbie
 

 
     AWWW - I had to do a double take to even spot that little kitty cat!

   Thanks, Herbie Darlin'!

 
     
     



   I need to close now.  I have a bazillion or so thank-you notes to write.  Y'all take care of each other! 

   Happy New Year!

   TYPHOONS FOREVER!  We'll Always Have Buckroe!

                          Love to all, Carol

Halleluyah
(Psalm 150)

- Louis Lewandowski (1821-1894)

‘Praise Him with the trumpet,
praise him with the lute and harp,
praise Him with tambourines and dancing,
praise Him with strings and flute,
praise Him with clashing cymbals!’
And not least with the voice:
‘Let every breath praise God!’
