"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." - Psalm 147: 3 |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I've been so
delightedly wrapped up in that wonderful
Reunion of
the Class of '64 last week, that many things concerning
the web page have become, well,
broken. I shall endeavor to
fix as many of them as I'm able as quickly as possible. I
appreciate your patience with me.
For one thing,
there's the matter of prizes. I know for a fact that I owe bunches of
those, including a major one that I need to give
to Susan Whitcomb Harlin ('72) of TX. I also know that I rarely
send them in the order that they were won. No one knows why
this is, of course - certainly not I. Would all of y'all who are still
waiting please drop me a line? Something sweet and gentle would
be nice, such as, "PAY UP, you old hag!" Thanks!
Happy Birthday today to Russ Stephenson ('57) of MD!

he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life."

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 10/22/04 and 10/24/04:
Done, Sir! Thanks, Joe!

Honey, that picture would pretty much improve anything! Thanks again, Joe!

Well, um, not exactly the same thing, but, um, sure - thanks again, Adonis! We do need to have his image there!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/famous-marines.html
COOL! It does add a spot of brightness, now doesn't it? Thanks, Adonis!

Hi, Carol:
I would like to nominate former Marine, and renown photographer David Douglas
Duncan for the Famous Marine page.
You will find a photo of 1LT Duncan just after fighting in Bougainville in
1944 when he was photographed by LT (j.g.)
Richard Milhouse Nixon shown on this site....

WOWZERONI!!!
That's one fine looking Marine! Well,
Joe, you had to wait forever and a day before I could get around
to posting everything, but these were all spectacular! Thanks so much!

From Sarah Puckett Kressaty ('65) of VA - 10/31/04:
Carol:
Halloween may be a Pagan holiday (which if you dig into history you will find
that it where we all started!!) but you're right -
it reminds us of our youth and those wonderful fun, safe and innocent days! It
was great! Keep in mind that if someone is
offended, they DON'T have to to read it!!!!!
Sarah
Tee-hee! Thanks, Sarah!

From John Todd ('64) of AK via Tom Flax ('64) of VA via Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 10/31/04:
Just got back into town tonight and
was looking forward to any news from the reunion. Thank you very much
for the update and the pictures. I went onto Carol’s web site and lots of
information and pictures as well....
It sounds like it was a great time and I look forward to the turning 60 party.
Wow, are we really that old!!
Since you sent me lots of pictures
and I got to see lots of folks (second hand), here’s a vacation picture of Bev
and me from this past August on the Black Sea in Constanta.
WOWZERONI! This man is still as gorgeous as ever after all these years!!!
John, some of us have grown older, but you seem to have disregarded that option entirely.
I posted this image here, along with your letter:

Oh, and thanks, John - and Tom and Dave!

Dave sent us an image to illustrate his earlier story about Mr. J. K. Alvis, his physics teacher.
Thanks, Dave!

From Linda Lane Lane ('64) of VA - 10/31/04:
It was great
to see you and to meet your husband. Hopefully, I will see you before the
next reunion. We have room here
in our home if you're coming to Williamsburg. Just let me know so I can dust
a little. And move the cat around. If you and
Pam (Smith Arnold - '65 - of VA) are related and now Pauline (Collins
Shofner - '65 - of VA) is related, I must be
somewhere in the group. I have a piano recital picture of Pauline and I when
we were very young. Maybe 2nd or 3rd grade.
We took piano from Mrs. Haley on 55th street. I'll try to send you a copy of
this as well.
WOW! Thanks, Linda!
The picture to
which Linda is referring is one of her 1969 wedding with herself and Rose, who
was her matron of honor. It's a
fabulous image! Linda showed it to me Saturday night at the Reunion,
whereupon I promptly burst into tears. Oh, no, that can't
be right; I never cry - everybody knows that! On the other hand, it hardly
seems possible that Rose has been dead for twenty
years now, either. I would love to have a copy of that photograph, Linda.
Thanks so much!
It is possible
that you've read the Newsletter before it has been announced, too. I've
wondered from time to time how often that
happens. Sometimes I release it only to discover it marred with even more
errors than usual, and then desperately try to fix it.
Occasionally I finish and upload the Newsletter, and then am interrupted before
I can announce it.
Well, of course,
you're related to us all, too! Let's see, you and Rose and I must all have
been sisters, and Pauline is probably
your cousin on the other side of the family. That means Eleanor is also
your sister, and Jay is also our brother, and Gene is also
your cousin. Patsy was already Pam's cousin, and Nancy is her second
cousin (for real!). And Neta and Rip are Gene and
Pauline's first cousins. Oh, yes, I'm sure we can turn this into a Kevin
Bacon kind of thing! We'll just have one big family!
Indeed, we already DO - one Big TYPHOON Family - and that isn't broken at all!
Y'all take care of each other.
Love to all, Carol

Broken
(Seether
with Amy Lee)
I wanted you
to know I love the way you
laugh.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away.
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain,
'cause I'm broken when I'm open,
and I don't feel like I am strong enough,
'cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome,
and I don't feel light when you're gone away.
The worst is over now and we can breathe again.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.
There's so much left to learn and no one left to fight.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain,
'cause I’m broken when I’m open,
and I don’t feel like I am strong enough,
'cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome,
and I don’t feel right when you're gone away,
'cause I’m broken when I’m open,
and I don’t feel like I am strong enough,
'cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome,
and I don’t feel light when you're gone away.
