Many Happy
Returns, One and All!
From Sydney Dearing ('56) of TN -
09/25/09 - "40 years ago feature":
Well, I'll tell ya, Sydney, it's all about the
albums.
Everything's
always been about the albums. We wouldn't be here today doing what we're
doing were it not for the albums. You see, back in 1994, I learned
that all my "carefully preserved" photographs were in fact being systematically
destroyed because I had elected to keep them in magnetic albums. This was
far from a happy revelation to me, but I began in earnest to redo everything I
had ever done. In fact, I even became a
Creative Memories consultant
myself because I thought it part of my life's mission to keep this travesty
from happening to others:
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/cluckmeat/scrapbooking.html
At some point I realized that I had seen a lot of history being made, and wanted to inter-splice what was happening in the world with what was happening in my own life - particularly if I remembered being impacted by these events to some degree. After all, as Robert A. Heinlein (07 July 1907 - 08 May 1988) said, “A generation which ignores history has no past and no future.”
This elaborate process of
course stalled the progress of the pages while I stopped everything to check
the history - and all of it drives my whole family completely bonkers - but
then, that's part of the fun, n'est pas?!?
As if by magic our first computer came into our home in the spring of 1999 to make my searching far simpler. I was looking for images of Newport News to fill in all the blanks. That's how I first stumbled onto the web sites for the NNHS Classes of 1962 and 1964:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/SITE-MAP.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/classes.html
http://geocities.com/typhoonmom1/
http://members.fortunecity.com/nnhs64/
At that very moment as I was bemoaning the fact that the Class of
1965 didn't seem to have such a site,
my #5 son,
Nathaniel
Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL - '97) of IL
suggested - nay, insisted - that I
start a similar page for the Class of 1965. (Quit your whining, Mom.
C'mon, I'll help you set it up.") As I could only barely open emails at
that point, I thought he was quite insane, but decided I'd better humor him. (Nathaniel
has been heard many times to say that this was one of the biggest mistakes he's
ever made.)
And as I've never been able to do things the
simple, easy way, we've somehow over the last nine years grown into what we
have today.....
But anyway, even as it occurred, the summer of 1969 stood out in my mind as being more jammed packed than others, so I decided to acknowledge and remember it here.
I had meant to recheck my albums for previously discovered events each day, but I usually was too swamped and generally just accepted Wikipedia's (apparently condensed) account:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969
As you know, I'm not above revising things in search of the complete truth for record, so I've edited those three Newsletters:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-18-09-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-19-09-NNHS-Talk-Like-a-Pirate-Day.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/09-21-09-NNHS-Come-Monday.html
We thank
you, I thank you - and my albums thank you!
And to answer your question,
that feature has never been included in our Newsletters before; I'd been saving
it for all these years because the magnitude of those events all compacted into
the summer of 1969 has fascinated me so much. It was done pretty much on
a trial basis to check its appeal. The only response whatsoever in all
this time came from you and
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL. I
thought I was just doing it for my own amusement - but that's okay; I'm easily
amused.
Actually, the only other time period from our youth I can remember off the top of my head which came even close to having so many events crammed into such a tight time frame was the summer of 1961. Oh, maybe the summer of 1962. Hmmm.
If you (or
anyone else!) have a year or a time period you'd care to recall, I'd be more
than happy to make this a permanent feature of our Newsletter! Thanks again,
Sydney!

"The Cat":
A cat died and went to Heaven. God met her at the gates and said, "You have been a good cat all these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking.'"
The cat thought for a minute and then said, "All my life I lived on a farm and slept on hard wooden floors. I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on."
God said, "Say no more." Instantly the cat had a huge fluffy pillow.
A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident and they all went to Heaven together. God met the mice at the gates with the same offer that He made to the cat.
The mice said, "Well, we have had to run all of our lives: from cats, dogs, and even people with brooms! If we could just have some little roller skates, we would not have to run again."
God answered, "It is done." All the mice had beautiful little roller skates.
About a week later, God decided to check on the cat. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, "Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?"
The cat replied, "Oh, it is
WONDERFUL. I have never been so happy in my life. The pillow is so fluffy, and
those little Meals on Wheels
you have been sending over are delicious!"
Hey, we need
a cute clean one every once in awhile.
Thanks,
Paul!

Jokes - 09/25/09:
Football and Confession
Years ago, the chaplain of the football team at Notre Dame was a beloved old
Irish priest.
At confession one day, a football player told the priest that he had acted in an
unsportsmanlike manner at a recent football game. "I lost my temper and said
some bad words to one of my opponents." "Ahhh, that's a terrible thing for a
Notre Dame lad to be doin'," the priest said. He took a piece of chalk and drew
a mark across the sleeve of his coat.
"That's not all, Father. I got mad and punched one of my opponents."
"Saints preserve us!" the priest said, making another chalk mark.
"There's more. As I got out of a pileup, I kicked two of the other team's
players in the . . . in a sensitive area."
"Oh, goodness me!" the priest wailed, making two more chalk marks on his sleeve.
"Who in the world were we playin' when you did these awful things?"
"Southern Methodist."
"Ah, well," said the priest, wiping his sleeve, "boys will be boys."
*************
Whales
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human
because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was
physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl: replied, "Then you ask him".

Don't
Sit Under the Apple Tree
(with Anyone Else but Me)
Written by
Lew Brown
(10 Dec 1893 – 05 Feb 1958)
Charles Tobias
(15 Aug 1898 – 07 July 1970)
and
Sam H. Stept
(18 Sept 1897 – 01 Dec 1964)
Lyrics as recorded in New York City on February 18, 1942 by Glenn Miller and His
Orchestra (two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor).
The male vocals on the recording were by Ray Eberle and the Modernaires. The
female vocals were by Marion Hutton (Betty Hutton's sister).
{male vocals}
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No! No! No!
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marchin' home
Don't go walkin' down Lover's Lane with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No! No! No!
Don't go walkin' down Lover's Lane with anyone else but me
Till I come marchin' home
I just got word from a guy who heard from the guy next door to me
The girl he met just loves to pet and it fits you to-a-tee
So, don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marchin' home
{female vocals}
Don't give out with those lips of yours to anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No! No! No!
Watch the girls on the foreign shores, you'll have to report to me
When you come marchin' home
Don't hold anyone on your knee, you better be true to me
You better be true to me, you better be true to me
Don't hold anyone on your knee, you're gettin' the third degree
When you come marchin' home
You're on your own where there is no phone and I can't keep tab on you
Be fair to me, I'll guarantee this is one thing that I'll do
I won't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but you
Till you come marchin' home
{all}
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
I know the apple tree is reserved for you and me
And I'll be true till you come marchin' home
