10/02/07 - NNHS Newsletter - Tenderly “Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.” - Washington Irving (3 Apr 1783 - 28 Nov 1859)

 Friends and Schoolmates,

   Today's long overdue theme comes as a suggestion:

  From Christine Wilson Starkman ('68) of CA - 10/02/07 - "song suggestion":

   OH, WOWZERS!!! Thanks so much, Chris! I was absolutely astonished to find I had never used this song before!  It's always been a great favorite of mine - along with Nat King Cole himself.

GUEST BOOK SIGNERS:

1. Bill Willoughby (York HS - '73) of VA - 09/21/07 (but somehow, only just spotted... ):

   Thanks so much, Bill! I really appreciate your kind words! The site itself is relaxing and fun; it's these over-the-top near daily newsletters that consume practically all my waking hours!

2. Mary Massey Lyle ('61) of NJ - 10/02/07:

   Thanks, Mary! It's good to hear from you!

BIRTHDAYS - TODAY AND UPCOMING:

   Happy Birthday today to    Wayne Frizzelle ('65) of MD!

   Later this week we have    Rennie Dick ('54) of VA  AND  Brenda Eakes Insley ('66) of VA on the fourth,  Butch Ragland ('63) of CO on the fifth, and    Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA on the sixth!

   (And, uh, no, I still haven't run those missing scans...)

   Many Happy Returns, One and All!

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html

    From Janice McCain Rose ('65) of VA - 09/26/07 - "YOU!":

You...

	Life is short!  Break the rules!  Forgive quickly!  Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.. And never regret anything that made you smile.
....have a GREAT Day!!!

   Thanks, Lady - great advice!

    From Joe Madagan ('67) of FL - 09/28/07:

Hi, Carol:
 

..... May I suggest that you consider linking the photo of      Sepi Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC receiving an award at the Annual Bathing Beauty Contest held to the Old Stomping Grounds page for the World War II Memorial Municipal Swimming Pool. That was one of the big events each year and many crowded around the pool to watch the contestants promenade around the pool. Maybe it will encourage others who competed in this annual event to furnish you more photos to brighten up that page!!!
 

TYPHOON Regards,

Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   Thanks, Adonis, that's another fine suggestion! I made it a Two-Fer!

  From Butch Ragland ('63) of CO - 09/28/07:

Hello, Miss Carol!

I just read the remarks from you and     Joe Madagan ('57 - of FL) concerning the "Famous Marines Section" and find myself deeply humbled! Thank you so very much for the honor of inclusion.

   Absolutely, Sweetie - and the honor is ours!

     http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/famous-marines.html

Also, please inform Joe I am looking forward to meeting him in the near future and hope he will soon have the opportunity to visit this beautiful area of the country.

   I've been "lost in space" for a few days, and do not remember if I actually forwarded your note to Joe before I left town of not, Butch.  (I know I meant to write you back a personal note, and I also know that didn't happen.) 

   If not, "Oh, Ma-jor Mad-a-gan...."

In respect for my brother,    Chuck Ragland NNHS -'66, I would like to recommend him for the "US Navy section", if I might be so bold? Thank you again.

God Bless All,
Butch Ragland, 63'

   Well, this part I actually did do earlier! And I placed a Navy emblem before Chuck's name on the Alumni Page:

   Welcome to our Famous Sailors, Chuck! Thanks so much, Butch - for everything!

    From Linda Lane Lane ('64) of VA - 09/29/07 - "Thank You, Carol":

   Thank you, Linda! I posted the rest of your note on Harvey's Memorial Newsletter:

      From Jean Lankes (Hampton HS - '72) of VA - 09/29/07 and 09/30/07 - "Evelyn Fryer Fish's birthday party for all of us":

Hiya Carol!

 

I had such a great time at the party. No one seemed to mind if a Crabber was lurking in their midst. It was wonderful to meet you, 
plus my newly-acquired friend       Sepi (Dinwiddie) Prichard ('58 - of NC) was amazingly gracious and thoughtful -- I didn't feel awkward or left out for one second!

 

I'm attaching some photos, with more to come separately. Even though I was introduced to many, I'm unable to remember
everyone's name and therefore can't accurately write captions.

 

   Wasn't it such fun?!? It was great meeting you at last, too, Jean!

   Thanks so much for all your great images! I have them posted now - but not necessarily labeled:

    From Joe Madagan ('67) of FL - 10/01/07 - "RE: Evelyn Fryer Fish's birthday party for all of us":

So glad that you and your dear sister       (Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky - '59 - of NC) were able to make it to the Beach Party. It must have been a hoot!
 

   Thanks, Joe! I wish you'd been there, too!  I mean even though I did just see you fifty years ago, it certainly would have been nice to have seen you again!

   My pictures are still languishing on my camera, but perhaps I'll remedy that soon.....

   From the Head Cheerleader of the Class of 1958, Evelyn Fryer Fish of TX - 10/02/07:

Dear Carol -

Thank you so much for coming to the Beach - we loved being with      you,       Eleanor, and         Adrienne. 

We had 90 people in attendance. 

Lv, ev

   Thanks, Evelyn! We certainly enjoyed being there!

   And speaking of cheerleaders.....

   From Aretie Gallins Patterson ('59) of Northern VA - 10/01/07 - "NNHS Cheers ":

Hi, Carol,

It’s been a long while since I have been able to write.

In my father’s attic I found an old copy of the “Counselor,” the blue handbook that all NNHS eighth graders received in Guidance Class.  I copied some of the cheers that I remember so fondly to send to you. Perhaps you already have these for the website, but in case you don’t, here they are. I sent the copy of the Counselor to the NNHS “archivist,”   Fred Mays ('60 - of VA).

Also,  I learned from the current newsletter of the First Presbyterian Church of Hampton that Miss Lilly Todd celebrated her 103^rd birthday in July. Is that the Miss Lillian Todd who taught algebra at NNHS?  

Here are the cheers I copied from the Counselor. These were the cheers that we used when I was a student at NNHS 1954-1959.

Take care.

Fondly,
Aretie Gallins Patterson

   DOUBLE WOWZERONI!!! Thanks, Aretie!   I added the cheers to the Cheerleaders page (made sense to me! ):

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/SITE-MAP.html

     http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/cheerleaders.html

    And that must surely be the same Miss Todd, as the dates of her teaching would be correct.  1961 was her last year at NNHS.
Thanks so much, Aretie! In any case, I've created her teacher page at last:

               http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Todd.html - brand new page; more memories from her students and colleagues are welcome

    From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 10/02/07 - "Quote of the day":

"Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." 

- Martin Luther King, Jr.
American Civil Rights Leader 

    Thanks, Shari!

   From Bill Lee (Warwick HS - '54) of NC - 10/02/07 - "PDF files about Newport News Shipbuilding":

Carol:

Delighted that you saw fit to recently mention my story about NNHS grad Pam Cole in your latest offering. I'm not sure why you can't use it all directly (that's why I sent it in PDF format), but here's a suggestion:

This story has been posted on the Apprentice Alumni Association's web site, along with several others I have written in the last few years. If you just refer people to the following, they can see this story in its illustrated entirety, and lots more, if they like. Undoubtedly, I have mentioned many NNHS grads and probably a lot of fathers and grandfathers of NNHS grads, as well, in those stories.

http://www.nnapprentice.com/alumni/letter/log.htm 

    Well, Sweetie, that's because you're dealing here with a Dumbdy-Dingle, and there you have people who actually know what they're doing!! 

   I only PRETEND I know what I'm doing, and I can no more bluff my way through converting PDF files into something I can post than I could bluff my way through Mrs. Baker's Chemistry Class forty -eleven years ago:

          http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teachers.html

               http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/teach-Baker.html

   I'd describe my whole procedure of attempting to do anything at all with PDF files, but it's just too humiliating.....

   Thanks for sending this other link, Bill! THAT I can do!

 Tenderly

- Gross, Lawrence, Plante

(Nat King Cole)


The evening breeze caress the trees,
Tenderly.
The trembling trees embrace the breeze,
Tenderly.

Then you and I came wandering by,
And lost in a sigh were we.
The shore was kissed by sea and mist,
Tenderly.

I can't forget how two hearts met,
Breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly.

~

Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly.

You took my lips, you took my love
So tenderly.
