   WOWZERONI! Thank you, Jim! I can testify that your first book is a real page-turner,
and I've no doubt that this one is as well!

May I place an ad on NNHS65? I would expect to pay for it, of course. It would be for a book of mine that has been selling for a few years now. Its title is "Times & Places: A Glimpse of Life on the Virginia Peninsula."

- Allan Hanrahan ('55) of VA - 04/05/18

   WOWZERONI! LOVE this! Thank you, Allan!

"A charming compilation of work from this keen observer of the Virginia Peninsula scene includes his line-drawings as well as his accompanying historical and local narrative. This is a must-have for the student of Virginia architecture and Virginia byways as these structures give way, one by one, to the wrecking ball." - Google Books
"If you want to learn more about the Peninsula’s history, this book, which costs $12.95, is a quick and easy way to appreciate your surroundings. It can be purchased on amazon.com. Locally, it is available at Anderson's Home & Garden Showplace,11250 Jefferson Ave., Newport News, at all Barnes & Noble bookstores, and from the author at rah504@aol.com." - Daily Press, January 7, 2014

Bobby Sprouse ’66 here. I’m going to put this info on the NNHS Facebook page but thought I’d share it with you also.

Some time ago I put together this logo from my old and still unused Typhoon logo…

I work as a photographer, and was putting together a coffee mug order for a high school football program and decided to order a mug for myself with this logo. Here’s the result...

I had it done at Sam’s Club for around 15 dollars. Anyone interested in doing the same (or using the logo for some other purpose) just needs to copy the image and take it to Sam’s of wherever they go to for photo processing.
- Bob Sprouse ('66) of CO - 12/26/17

   WOWZERONI! Y'all can all have all sorts of fun with this! Thank you, Bobby!
I've left the logo in its original size for clarity.

Good morning!

JUST PUBLISHED: NOVEMBER 18TH

I'm exciting about another new book, this time offered both on Kindle and in paperback form. Confessions of a "Horse Husband" is the story of a man who fell in love with a woman who lives, eats, sleeps and dreams horses. And since her motto is "Love me, love my horses," this former suburban-dwelling man figures he'd better learn about these big, beautiful creatures. It's what any "Horse Lady" loving man would do. I know, it's my story. Here are the links:

My buddy, Bobby Hatten (NNHS / Ferguson HS - '65 - of VA), read my book, Best Friends Forever: Growing Up in the '50s, and wrote this review which he published on Amazon. He suggested that I send it to you and ask that you include it in a newsletter. He thinks a lot of people would enjoy the book. I appreciate his idea and review and think he is so sweet to suggest this.
What follows is what he wrote. Thanks.
                                                Best Friends Forever: Growing Up in the '50s. Available on Amazon in paper and for reader devices.

-    The Head Cheerleader of 1965, Pam Smith Arnold of CA - 04/20/16

By R. Hatten on April 20, 2016

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

All of us who were born before 1950 and grew up in the early 1950s remember and cherish the vignettes of our own childhood that Pam Arnold brings vividly back to our minds in this retreat to the sweetness, safety and simplicity of those long ago days. Days before divorce was commonplace – when being the child of a single mother was uniquely painful and created insecurities, loneliness and separateness from other children. Days when having the security of a single friend in the first grade became a substitute for security of a complete family. Days when life itself was so safe that 6 year olds could walk to school and explore a creek on the walk home with no worries or danger from attack. Days when childhood games were jump rope, when Santa really came but only brought one or two presents, where families ate dinner together, and where young children were totally safe outside and alone. To millennials, the world of the 1950’s must seem like a different planet, but for those of us who lived it and cherish those memories, Arnold’s autobiographical trip down memory lane is a delicious treat.

“Growing up in the 50s” begins in Miami, Florida where pre-school age Pam begins to become aware of the world around her and the limitations of being the only child of a divorced mother who made “bad choices”. Pam and her divorced mother, Waller, soon leave their comfortable home with Pam’s grandparents and migrate to the shipyard community of Newport News, VA for “independence”, where an extended family of cousins welcome them to a blue collar town.

Waller, a young nurse, must soon abandon her low paying career to work as a secretary. Pam learns to adapt to a friendless and challenging lifestyle. But none of these challenges daunt the spirit of Pam, who cheerfully charges forth into every minute of her new life with the determination of Lewis and Clark, finding pleasure in the simplest of new experiences, fantasies and even temporary setbacks.

Arnold’s conversational dialogue – with her family and friends – is so real that you might think she actually had a recorder, and to those of us who grew up in Newport News, the landmarks and vivid descriptions of our home town consistently bring a smile of recognition and nostalgia. But the most real part of her very personal book, written primarily for children, is the emotion she shares about her first and lifelong friend, Patsy, the love that she receives from her extended family, her raucous sense of humor at a mock funeral for a rat, and the joy of life as a six year old that she infectiously spreads onto every chapter of this lovely life story. For those of you who may have forgotten life as a child in the 1950s this is a must read; for those of you born into the age of McDonald’s, iPhones and computer games, this will be very foreign, but you will be jealous. Well done Pam.

“The Living Weapon”, part of the PBS series, “American Experience”, an historical perspective on the U.S. Biological Warfare Program - broadcast in most areas on 02/05/07
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/weapon/

"Soon after the United States entered World War II, President Roosevelt received information that Germany and Japan were developing biological weapons. In response, the U.S. and its allies rushed to develop their own germ warfare program, enlisting some of America's most promising scientists in the effort. This program examines the race to develop biological weapons in the 40s and 50s, and the challenges and moral dilemmas the scientists faced."

I have Anchor yearbooks for sale, from 1961, 62, 63, and 1964. I am asking just $25 total
for each book - $15.00 for the Anchor, and the ten dollars it costs to ship from Phoenix, AZ where I live to VA or wherever because the books are heavy.
The books are in good condition, just a little signing inside the back cover. Ha.

I can be reached at mardar1@cox.net. or 623-386-4286 after 6 pm VA time. Hope someone
out there is searching for a replacement book. There are not many left. Last year I sold a '65 and had 4 requests for it. I don't get into a bidding war, just first buyer gets the prize.

Great job, Mark!

I just published a book about my experiences ballroom dancing all over the world, and trying to influence guys to see what they are missing by not dancing. I am attaching the cover art and a blurb I have been emailing friends who may want to buy a copy. Perhaps some old NNHS classmates of mine might be interested. Keep up your good work, and here's the blurb:

I am excited to announce that my book, Become a Man of Confi-Dance, has been published and made available for sale. The paperback version ($15.99 - $19.99) and the hard cover version ($29.99) are both available through www.amazon.com, www.xlibris.com, and www.barnesandnoble.com plus the cost of shipping. You can also download a kindle or nook ebook for $3.99.

However, if you would like a signed paperback copy directly from me, send a check for $20 to: Raoul Weinstein, 12 Isbell Lane, Greenville, SC 29607. The shipping is included.

You can go to www.amazon.com and pull up the book and review the first couple of chapters if you’d like before making a decision. Makes a great holiday gift for your significant other, or a father, son, brother, uncle, or nephew in need of, or ready for, a change in their (social) life.

WOWZERONI! Thanks so much, Raoul!

Would like to make an offer to those in charge of various year reunions when it comes to their music. Over the past 3 years I have been working on personal projects that encompass #1 hits of every year for both Pop and R&B. So far I have “every year” and “every song” from 1930-1970 so whatever you can ask for I am sure to have. And these are in High Quality clean and Original version songs and come in 320 kbps MP3 format which can be loaded onto a computer for continuous list plays or expanded (converted) to a wav file for burning as regular music CDs (or I can do that for you). All have also been tagged so title, artist, year, and chart dates can be seen and all have been equalized to 92db (decibels) so sound won’t wildly go up and down on you. I also have access to songs dating back to 1895 (I am sure those aren’t needed anytime soon) and almost any non #1 charted hits you could ask for.

All I ask is donations so I can cover disc and shipping costs.

I can be contacted directly at web-czar@rcn.com.
