	11/08/17 - NNHS Newsletter - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind? “When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me.” - Frederick Buechner (b. 11 July 1926)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

THIS DAY IN 1967:

From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 11/07/15:

    Thanks so much, Susan!

From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 11/08/17:

		Thank you, Joan!

  From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 11/08/17 - "Thanks for remembering my Birthday":

		Perhaps you would do me a favor and use this photo to replace the one on the right of my profile on your website. That photo causes "heartburn" for a FEW of my Marine friends who have asked me why there is no belt on my Dress Blue Uniform. At the time, I was heading out to march in a Parade in Newport News and would wear a harness in order to carry Old Glory in the parade. The occasion was the rededication of the War Memorial on West Avenue. This explains why I appear to be "Out Of Uniform" at the time. So if you will remove that old photo, it might end some of the "Incoming" from my fellow Grunt Marines. In the attached photo, I had turned in my side arm, and was just relieved of duty with the Captain. Enough military history of this old guy! Thank You. TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL      WILD GIGGLES! Certainly, Adonis! I wouldn't want to cause the Marines any consternation, especially with their 242nd Birthday so near!

   From Jimmy Hines ('64) of VA - 11/06/17:

		Santa telling me that I will be him one day      OHH! Thank you, Santa Jim, this is beyond priceless!

From Carlene Matthews Vannoy ('60 / '64) of VA - 11/04/16:

		Thanks, Carlene!

 From Jerry Blanchard ('62) of VA - 11/07/16:

		SO SADLY TRUE! Thank you, Jerry!

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 11/07/16:

As the bus pulled away, a woman realized she had left her purse under the seat. Later she called the company and was relieved to find out the driver had found it. When she went to pick it up, several off-duty bus drivers greeted her. One of the men handed over her handbag and a box. "We're required to inventory found wallets and purses," he explained. "I think you'll find everything here." As she started to put her belongings back into the purse, the man continued, "I hope you don't mind if we watch. Even though we all tried, none of us could fit everything into your purse... and we'd like to see just HOW you do it."
