The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom.”

THIS DAY IN WWII:

THIS DAY IN 1964:

      

      

Of the Naval Services, only the U.S. Navy employed scientists. The Marine Corps were the Neanderthals of the Naval Service, commonly known as "Grunts" for the guttural sounds emanating from the Marines jumping from a hovering helicopter with a full combat load and weapon.

And when Captain Dave is thumbing through the pages of the Sanborn Maps at the public library he probably realizes that these maps were used by the U.S. Army Air Force to identify aerial targets during World War II.

Just thought I would throw in that tidbit with no extra charge.

The pressing issue is to identify Mr. Hatlo. Was he a cartoonist??? Help!!!

TYPHOON Regards,

Thanks!

Hi, Dave and Carol:

"They Will Do It Every Time" was the one scene cartoon that I remember most of the writings of Jimmy Hatlo.

Regarding the topic of Sanborn Maps, it was little known that these maps were used for targeting.

During World War II, the United States Army Air Corps used the Sanborn Maps of The Continental Insurance Company, 80 Maiden Lane, New York City, New York to select aerial targets. The Continental Insurance Group had one of the largest books of property insurance business in Japan. They were precise and helpful during the war effort. A little known bit of military history trivia.

I do remember one night a bunch of us walked the mile or so to the Mimslyn to crash the parties that were going on and we got stopped by a local Deputy on the way back to our room but can’t remember exactly why or what the outcome was. I think he contacted   Mr. Wilson and then let us go. I do remember one neat thing. It was after the parade and a bunch of us were gathered closely around the only phone, which was an outside pay phone. Mr. Wilson called the Festival Director to find out how we did in the standings. Well, as I said we were all gathered around closely. I was standing about two feet away with Chuck Anspach only about a foot away. We were all watching and listing intently to Mr. Wilson when all of a sudden his expression changed dramatically. He let out a loud Whoop and jumped straight up in the air. The only problem is that when he came down it was directly on top of Chuck’s foot. I think Chuck ending up loosing his big toenail.

This coming year it is being held April 23 – May 2, 2010!
My, how it has grown. SEE YOU THERE.

    I believe you're right about the May of 1959 date. Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to recall that the band first won that trophy the first year that    Norman Dick ('60 of TN) served as drum major.....

  

 

   I agree with you there, Evelyn.  I read the obituaries in the Daily Press each morning and look at all these In Memoriam Pages and realize that all these wonderful people are gone, and wonder why on earth I'm still here.....
 
I actually lived in one of the houses on 16th Street - 964-16th Street in the middle of the block.   Coach Range (23 Dec 1914 - 13 Jan 1980) lived three doors down from me and  Mr. Powers (01 Sept 1918 - 14 June 1992) lived two doors down from me.  Howard Todd ('56), Carolyn Todd ('58),     Jimmy Todd ('63) and Brenda Todd ('64) lived directly across the street from me.  And Carol Holloway lived on the corner house in front of us. 
 
Now this is really dating me:    Melissa ('67 - of VA) and  Jimmy Moody ('61) lived behind me on 15th Street and I used to baby sit for them!!! When their parents returned from the night out, their dad would always walk me through the back yard to make sure I arrived home safely.  I always thought that Melissa Moody was the cutest little girl that I had ever seen.  And WOW, I was so DELIGHTED and SURPRISED to see her when she attended one of the Buckroe parties!!!  She is just as cute as ever.  I was saddened to learn of Jimmy's passing. 
 
I always waited for the bus for school across the street down three or four houses right in front of         Bobby Hedrick's ('58) house.  They had the only brick house in Stuart Gardens - his dad was in the construction/bricking business.  Bobby's dying this year was such a shock.  I was so glad that I happened to be in town so that I could attend his funeral in Norfolk.  What a great man he was - I miss him since I used to hear from him all the time. 
 
Bruce and Page Smith (Class of 57) lived next door to us.  Their dad, Bob Smith, was the Manager of the Daily Press.
 
Thank you so much, Carol, for keeping us all together.
