Reunion Page
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. |

Dear Carol, I just wanted to pass on to you that our Fifty-Year Reunion (Class of NNHS 1958) was the Very Best Ever!! Both our Friday and Saturday night functions were at the Marriott Kingsmill in beautiful Williamsburg. So many people are responsible for the Magnificent outcome - it was certainly a team effort and paid off in the long run. I want to pass on the following names to you so that Classes planning future Reunions can perhaps benefit from our success: DAN WEST - our DJ - ardan@rcn.com VICKI VAWTER - Photographer for Class Picture - evawter@cox.net FRED MAYS ('60 - of VA) - Collector of Memorabilia - awesome - fwmays@cox.net BILL CLOUGHLY - Videographer - info@smellycatproductions.com Thank you again, Carol, for
all that you do. |
Carol, Ferguson High graduate Tommy Penrose is a photographer who is now working on panoramic pictures for special occasions like class reunions. I am just passing along the contact for anyone interested. I saw the one he did over the weekend for a class from FHS. It was very good. I told him that I would pass on the info. Thanks!
Thanks for help giving me point of contacts for any group pan

I think the joy of going to a class reunion is that EVERYONE really knows how old you are and you don't have to try to pretend a thing. The other interesting phenomenon
that I have experienced is Where else can you go and have 35
years shed? Can't wait to see everyone!!! |

What a great time we just had at our 40th
HS reunion...
The Typhoons are still going
strong even though they tried to get rid of us… they never will!!! Did you
know that Saunders Stadium was torn
down? Bruce Howell, one of our class members (grew up in the 700 block of my
street [72nd]) got 60 bricks from there, cleaned them and another classmate
who owns an engraving shop made a small plate for them in blue w/NNHS
Typhoons on there and they gave them to us Saturday night....

The NNHS Class of 1971 40-Year Reunion Fellow Classmates: Your NNHS 40-Year Class Reunion Committee has been working hard on your behalf to plan and coordinate a Reunion to remember. The Reunion for the Class of ’71 will be held on Saturday, July 9, 2011 from 6:30pm – 11:30pm at the Newport News Marriott at City Center located at 740 Town Center Drive in Newport News. Your committee has signed the required contracts to reserve a banquet room at the Marriott and we are excited about the current plans for that evening. In making the plans for this Reunion, we have had to pay the hotel a deposit to make certain that the banquet room and other plans are held for us. It is now time for those planning to attend to notify us of their intent and to submit a $50.00 deposit. As you know, planning an event of this nature requires funding and the source of this funding is from the people that will attend. We have made the first deposit thanks to the generosity of your committee members, but need for you to lock in your reservation and help financially by sending your $50.00 deposit by November 1st to our Treasurer, Virginia W. Pearce at 302 Gregory Drive, Yorktown, VA 23696. If you are interested in a room at the hotel for our reunion, the hotel has offered a special rate of $119.00 per night for those attending the reunion. To obtain this rate, please let us know so that we can establish the account with the hotel. A minimum of 10 rooms need to be reserved to get the special rate. To make this reunion a success, we need your support. Please plan to attend and pass the word to other classmates with whom you are in contact. Richard Rawls (Richard@Rawls.com) |

This one is very near and dear to my heart as I stare headlong at my 40th high school reunion! Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking... surely I cannot look that old? You may enjoy this short story. While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30 years ago. Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate. I asked him if he had attended the local high school. "Yes," he replied. "When did you graduate?" I asked. He answered, "In 1971. Why?" "You were in my class!" I exclaimed. He looked at me closely and then the son of a gun asked, "What did you teach?" |

Leonard ('64) of VA via Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 09/09/04 WILD GIGGLES!! Thanks, Jane - and Dave! Hey, I'm still just a kid, right?!? HA-HA-HA-HA! |
Winter is good, just like Mondays. Without Winter, we cannot have a Spring; without Monday, we can not have a Friday. Without January, February would not come bringing the faintest promise of days with just the tiniest bit more light at first, but by the end of February, the sun hangs longer in the sky and that promise of longer daylight hours is no longer a promise, it's a kiss, given by God to let us know Spring will come for certain again this year. And this year will be a Special Year for those of us that graduated with the Class of 1958. We celebrate because we can, because we want to, and because it is our right. We have earned it, and it is good. If you are thinking about NOT coming, rethink it. There will be not just a reunion, but a rejoining of spirits, and friends that haven't seen one another for years. We have known each other for at least 50 years, a lot of us much longer, maybe since first grade. Where else can you go and find that kind of bond? Family is not the same. We are speaking of classmates here - important to us for a thousand and one reasons. Those that are missing....we need to find you, now !
For those of you that are not from the Class of
'58 but know of a friend or relative that does know of someone that was in the
Class of '58: please do them a favor, beg them to let us find them, lead them to
the Newsletter, do whatever you
can. We need them, need them to be complete, to be with us as we Celebrate this
wonderful passing of Fifty years. Examine your reasons for not wanting to come.
Just not interested ? Come anyway, let us change your mind, let us make you
glad you did change your mind. The majority of us will not get a chance for the
I00th. I can promise you one thing...you will once again feel the headiness of
youth, if just for that one weekend or one night, whatever you can manage, and
you will be glad you came. Even though it will be Spring, you will finally find
the warmth...without even looking. |
