12/12/20 - NNHS Newsletter - Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
	“Am I not here, I, who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need anything more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you.” - Our Lady of Guadalupe to Saint Juan Diego (1474 - May 30, 1548) when she appeared to him in 1531

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

This is another Catholic holiday we're all celebrating together like the big Typhoon family we've become.

From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 12/11/14:

“This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.”
- Howard W. Hunter
(14 Nov 1907 - 03 Mar 1995)

Thanks so much, Susan!

From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 12/12/17:

Thank you, Joan!

   From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 12/09/20, 10:39 AM - "TYPHOON connection":

Greetings, TYPHOON Conduit:
To shock your subscribers and yourself, here is a recent photo of Joseph “Bucky” Madagan and Eva ELLIS “Sissy” Madagan, Class of 1961.

Exposing my youthful activity results, the scarring on my head is from many skin cancer surgeries. Life Guarding for years at the Municipal swimming pool, and six visits to Cuba in the USMC did expose my skull to sunburn, with a large price to pay.

Hoping all is well with you and your family.

TYPHOON Regards,
Joseph Madagan (1957, Florida)

   WOWZERS! Thank you, Major Madagan! Far from being shocked, I for one am delighted and wildly impressed to see you both looking so well and standing so straight and tall!
   As a result of the bronchitis attack I suffered during the wee hours of Christmas Eve of 2014 when I came so close to death, and which permanently threw my COPD into overdrive, I've not been able to stand for longer than five minutes at a time. Combined with the severe rheumatoid arthritis in both knees and hips, I'm rather a hot mess, so I'm always doubly happy for those who have kept their mobility.

   I'd like to think that I've thanked you many times for your sacrifice and service to our country, Adonis, but knowing me, I've probably only thought it, as though mental telepathy was a common gift we all share continuously, so if I've never done so, let me do so now.

   Merry Christmas to you and yours!

From Jimmy Dick ('65) of FL - 12/12/19, @ 6:15 AM:

Time is really flying and wow, here we are on Thursday, December 12th and it's less than two weeks until Christmas.
This morning as my wife and I had our daily morning Bible reading focusing on the Book of Luke, we read Chapter 5 and in it was the story of Jesus filling the nets of the fishermen after they previously had a night of no catch and were discouraged. It reminded me of a story I remember about earlier days in my life on the Chesapeake Bay...

Stories are such a good way to bring the Good News of the Bible to others. All we have to do is open our hearts along with our ears and they can tell us so much about His grace, love and the gift of Salvation that he readily offers...

Have a blessed morning with a smile on your face and a warm heart. It's Christmastime, be kind and loving toward all you meet today.

   Thank you, Jimmy! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 12/11/20, 9:53 AM - "Funny Christmas":

Sorry, a lil bit late with Christmas sends. Car was making a funny noise, mechanic did not find it. Still there. He did find I need three new tires, despite the fact it passed inspection just fine, slightly over six months ago. Uggg 2020, beat feet. Get to stepping!
   YIKES/GIGGLES! Thank you, Shari! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

From Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH - 12/10/18:

Thanks, Domi!

From Candy Hixson Whitley (Ferguson HS - '68) of VA - 12/11/15:

Food presentation is everything! Fabulous idea for a party.
   LOVE IT! Thank you, Candy!

“I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.”
- Frank Sinatra

Alma Redemptoris Mater
Loving Mother of our Savior

Ascribed to Hermannus Contractus, d.1054

Alma Redemptoris Mater, quae pervia caeli
Porta manes, et stella maris, succurre cadenti,
Surgere qui curat, populo: tu quae genuisti,
Natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem
Virgo prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore
Sumens illud Ave, peccatorum miserere.

Loving Mother of our Savior, hear thou thy people's cry
Star of the deep and Portal of the sky!

Mother of Him who thee made from nothing made.
Sinking we strive and call to thee for aid:
Oh, by what joy which Gabriel brought to thee,
Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see.
