45-Year Reunion of the NNHS Class of 1965
SIGNIFICANTLY AMENDED 08/07/10, 09/02/10, AND 09/25/10
The Reunion Committee of the Class of 1965 is pleased to announce the plans
for the 45-Year Reunion on October 15 and 16, 2010. As we began planning
for this event we were contacted by many class members concerned about the
potential costs involved. The economy has certainly been poor and is a
factor in all decisions. For those that have to travel the expense for that
is a further consideration. We've also heard from a few classmates that
have never made it to a previous reunion, and wanted to get them here.
We made the decision that the most important reason for the reunion is to
provide an opportunity to gather and catch up with our friends. This
weekend will be casual as well as easy on the budget.
Friday evening we’ll meet at 7:00 PM
at the
home of Lynn Walker Brothers ’65 and her husband Barry (York HS - '65). They
have graciously extended an offer to open their home for the event. Light hors
d’oeuvres will be served, and we would request a $5.00 donation to assist in
covering the expenses for that evening if you attend. The change in location
was decided when members of the reunion committee thought the original location
might not be as suitable for conversation as originally planned. The Brothers
residence is located at 304 Dogwood Drive, Newport News. The telephone number
is 757-595-4116. We’ll post a map providing directions.
Saturday will be spent at Newport News Park. We've reserved a group shelter
that can seat 150 people with sufficient cover to take care of any weather
concerns. If you made it to the 55th Birthday Party you'll
recall it was held at the Park in one of the smaller shelters. The facility
we're using this time is a new addition and will give us lots of flexibility
to meet and reminisce. The cost of this event is $15.00 per person through
August 31, 2010. After that date the cost will be $20.00 per person. The
charge for Saturday will cover your food and beverages. Checks should be
made payable to NNHS Class of 1965, and mailed to Dave Arnold, 153 Exmoor
Court, Williamsburg, VA 23185-3863. He may also be reached at 757
618-6646, or
captarnold@vprj.net.
Once funds have been received you'll be contacted with a confirmation and
additional information. If you know of members who don't have access to the
web site, please get in touch with them and encourage them to come to the
reunion.
We'll also be posting a listing of hotels in
the area of our two locations. By making your own arrangements you'll be
able to control some of your costs for the event. This will also minimize
the amount of travel to get to the venues.
Finally, this will be an
open reunion.
Each year we lose members of the class, as do those before and after ours.
We were once a big family regardless of graduating class and we'd like to
continue that past history. We cordially invite any of the Typhoon Nation
to join us on October 15th and 16th.
We look forward
to seeing you then.
- The '65 Reunion Committee, 05/09/10
I recently received a letter from the president of the Class of ’65, Joe Wingo (of NC). Joe was always one of our leaders and that continues today. As we move closer to the 45-Year Reunion we have had questions regarding plans for the 50-Year. Several members believe it should be a very special event. Joe has taken the lead in getting us off to a strong start with his donation of $200.00 to be set aside to begin planning for the 50-Year Reunion. Joe now challenges other class members to consider making a donation to increase the working fund for that event. Please give consideration to Joe’s challenge to the members of the Class of 1965. Thanks, Joe.

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
that's when my love comes tumblin' down.
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
when there's no one else around.
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
and do all the things I told you
in the midnight hour, yes I am.
Yes I am.
I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
and see that sweet love in your eyes.
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
that's when my love begins to shine.
You're the only girl I know
that really loves me so
in the midnight hour.
Just you and I, oh baby.
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
that's when my love comes tumblin' down.
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour,
that's when my love begins to shine.
Just you and I.
Just you and I, nobody around.
Just you and I.
Just you and I.
