From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 10/23/07 - "Two Recent EBAY Acquisitions":

This PC was posted on 6 July 1965. I bet that someone reading this Newsletter was in the park on that day. Apart from the nostalgic view of the entrance, I found it curious that the roller coaster was in operation, that there appear to be people in the cars, that it is mid-day ... and there is absolutely no activity at the entrance ... no cars, no people, no buses, nada.	This is a view of the train station which I had not previously seen. As explained in the caption, the image was taken from the site of the Casino.

   Thank you so much for these "new" images, David! Just when I think we've seen them all, different versions emerge from the dust and shadows of yesteryear.  I've posted these on the site:

  From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 10/23/07 - "USS Ronald Reagan":

Carol -- I just ran across this awesome photo of the USS Ronald Reagan (the shipyard's newest carrier) passing the USS Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor. Notice that the crew is "manning the rail" to honor the Arizona and its lost crewmen.    Thanks, Ronnie! I agree - this is indeed an awesome shot!

    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 10/25/07 - "Famous Marines":

   From Linda May Bond Crayton ('66) of VA - 10/26/07 - "no arms":

Hi Carol,

This  is the second time I've seen this video of this woman with no arms.

Remember, my sister,    Rosalie ('65), had polio at the age of three and only has the use of half of one arm. We call her other arm, her lazy arm. In my world this woman does nothing unusual.

I've seen Rosie change diapers ( with safety pins), put on and tie shoes, and I can't tell you how many times I've seen her throw something over her shoulder to carry in just that way. She never considered herself "handicapped". She always said it was just a minder inconvenient.  She even refused those handicap plates for the car because she said she could walk just fine.

She still has the prettiest legs, ever.

But thanks for the memories, it was nice to remember a time when life was so simple. You did not feel sorry for yourself. So you couldn't do it "that" way, you found another. Easy-peasy.

Linda May

   Linda May, as you know, Rosalie was in my homeroom class.  I never knew the original cause of her difference and never would have asked.  I always thought it was a birth injury.  And I never knew there was a problem with her other arm at all!  That's because Rosie never let it bother her.  I watched in awe as she accomplished feats which would have bowed the rest of us, with never a moment's hesitation or complaint

  While we do seem more inclined to count ourselves as "victims" of one thing or another these days, I think we have always had "whiners" among us, as well as those who heroically step up to meet life's challenges.  I have always considered Rosalie to be a truly remarkable woman.

   Thanks for sharing this with us, Lady!

      From one of my Famous Marines,  Herb Hice of MI, who served in the Pacific Theater during WWII -  10/26/07 - "Dear Carol / Dimples, Love is Eternal !!!":

Eternal Father, Strong to Save - The U. S. Navy Hymn

- Original Words by the Rev. William Whiting 
(1825 - 1878)

Eternal Father, Strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to thee,
for those in peril on the sea.

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walked'st on the foaming deep,
and calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee,
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
