From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 04/04/08
- "BEACON - 20 DEC 63: Christmas Issue (Part 1 of 2)":
This is an
interesting issue from an historical standpoint.
I don’t think that current public school newspapers are quite so “overt”
in their acknowledgement of Christmas.

From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of
VA - 04/04/08 - "A Simple Quarter!!!!!":
Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church
in Houston, TX Some weeks after he arrived he had an occasion to ride the
bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered
that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.
As he
considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You' d better give the
quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh, forget
it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount?
Anyway, t he
bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it; Accept it as 'a
gift from God' and keep quiet.'
When his stop
came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the
driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.'
The driver,
with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town? I have been
thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to
see what you would do if I gave you too much change..
I'll see you at church on Sunday.'
When the
preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light
pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'
Our
lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary
example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put
us to the test! Always be on guard and remember that you carry the name of Christ
on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian'.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become
actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits, they
become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
The
Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not PROTECT
you...Stay FAITHFUL and be GRATEFUL.

A nice reminder -
thanks, Joyce!
From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 04/05/08 - "Semper Fi or Chill Out, I'm eating now":
On July 6, 2007, police were called to investigate an attempted armed robbery:
The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, FL, Sub shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former helicopter pilot for two presidents. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he works out everyday.
Mr. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night.
According
to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at 1949
N. Pine Rd. Just after 11 p.m. There was a lone diner, Mr. Lovell, who was
finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove
Mr. Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well. They got his money, but then Mr.
Lovell pulled his handgun, opened fire. He shot one of the thieves in the head
and chest and the other in the head.
When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop. K-9 units found the
other in the bushes of a nearby business. They also found cash strewn around the
front of the sandwich shop according to Detective Robert Rettig of the
Plantation Police Department.
Both men were taken to Broward General Medical Center, where one, Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale died. The other, 21-year-old Frederick Gadson of Fort Lauderdale is in critical but stable condition.
A longtime friend of Lovell was not surprised to hear what happened. The friend said, ''He'd give you the shirt off his back, but he'd be mad as hell if someone tried to take the shirt off your back''.
Mr. Lovell was a pilot in the Marine Corps, flying former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He later worked as a pilot for Pan Am and Delta.
He is not expected to be charged, authorities said ''He was in fear for his life,'' Detective Rettig said, 'These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds and aren't intimidated by idiots'.
Something tells me this old Marine wasn't 'in fear for his life', even though his life was definitely at risk. The only thing he could be charged with is participating in an unfair fight. One 71 - year young Marine against two punks.
Two head shots and one center body mass shot - outstanding shooting! That'll teach them not to get between a Marine and his meal.
Don't you just love a story with a happy ending?
WOWZERONI!
Thanks, Norris!
I ran this through Snopes.com
several different ways and could find no comment concerning it.
From NewsMax Media - 04/05/08 - "Blaylock Tip: Lose Your Deadly Belly Fat":
Blaylock Tip of the Week
Lose Your Deadly Belly Fat
Americans have lived through many health crises in the past but the latest threat, though largely preventable, has silently grown to potentially deadly proportions. America is in the grips of an “obesity epidemic,” and 65 percent of the population is overweight.
Even those who may not consider themselves overweight may be carrying a large amount of deadly belly fat, known to increase the risk of heart disease in relatively slim people.
Most people have a basic sense that being overweight is bad for their health, but few appreciate just how dangerous it is.
While I have never written a diet book and don’t intend to, controlling fat excess is really fairly simple: Eat for health, not for pleasure. This is not to say that a healthy diet has to taste bad. But it is critical to keep in mind that the goal is a diet that provides health. The loss of excess fat will always come when you follow a healthy diet.
Below are my four steps for losing weight permanently.....
1. Eat a lot of vegetables. Also, eat a mixture of fresh and cooked vegetables, which should all be cleansed thoroughly to remove pesticides and herbicides.
2. Avoid excessive carbohydrates. The three worst culprits are sweetened drinks (sodas and fruits drinks), pasta and breads. While desserts are bad, they are never eaten in as high a volume as these three.
Breads are high on the glycemic index — a measure of how fast a carbohydrate is broken down and absorbed into the blood. The faster it enters the blood, the greater the secretion of insulin — the process that causes us to be hungry. Foods low on the index are absorbed more slowly.
Your source of carbohydrates will be beans and lentils. Years ago it was observed that the Asians ate a diet high in carbohydrates, yet they had a low risk of heart attack and stroke. Now we know that’s because they eat only carbohydrates that contain fiber.
3. Avoid most red meats. Acceptable meats include turkey, ostrich, pork and Chicken. Organically raised animals are the best. Processed meats should be avoided, since most are heavily dosed with nitrites and injected with excitotoxin additives. A recent study found that eating these meats multiplies the risk of pancreatic cancer by 62 times.
If you want an occasional steak, make sure the cattle are grass-fed and that all the animals are individually tested for mad cow disease.
4. Exercise. Over an extended period, no diet will work without exercise. The beauty of exercise is that not only are you burning calories while you exercise — you continue to burn them hours later.
Muscle burns fats and consumes calories. The more your muscles work, the easier it is to lose weight. Exercise also promotes the release of growth hormones and this reduces body fat.
Eating quality, pure foods is important for your overall health.

Sock Hop. Tell
Joe Wingo
(President of the Class of 1965 - of NC) if indeed he has an aunt and
uncle in Lakeland and they come to the Sock Hop, I will buy his uncle a drink

vice-versa!!)|

Wait a minute (or wit a minute, as we Scots would say)! When I met your sister,
Karen (Weinstein Witte - '60 - of FL) at her
45-Year Reunion in 2005, she
looked prettier then than when she was in high school! How
can this be?!?
Y'all live in FLORIDA

FLORIDA!
That's IT! You two have
located Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth! It's that water that
Wayne

was telling us about the other day!
Okay, everybody. Make your plans now to go to that sock hop. If Raoul's buying the drinks, we could all have some of that Magic Elixir and watch the hands of time move backwards!
Thanks, Raoul!

Carol,
I just felt you'd like this today.
Thank you for being such a friend to so many of us.
Charlie

My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open. |

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you. Send it to some balloons that you think have flown away forever. You may be surprised to see it return. Send this heart to everybody you like.
Thank you so much, Charlie! You were right - I did need this!
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol
