08/23/04 - NNHS Newsletter - Monday Morning

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   A great many goodies arrived over the weekend, primarily from Joe Madagan ('57) of FL (Thanks, Joe!),
but as I was feeling particularly crummy, I have processed very few of them as yet.  My work remains cut out for me.

NEWBIE:

1. Linda Waterfield Kenney ('66) of VA (I think) - 08/21/04:

2. Joan Ownby Mathieson ('58) of, um, VA?? - 08/24/05:

Hey........I love this!  Thanks for sending me the news from old NNHS.  I am not listed under "class of '58"
if you want to put me there........Joan Ownby Mathieson......yes, I'm still married to the same guy I went steady
with in high school......Jim Mathieson from HHS class of 56......and we both enjoy news from all of you.  Our love
to all of you!

Certainly, Linda and Joan!  There you go, and welcome!

From Me ('65) in NC:

   Thank you for your generous contributions to the page.  I'll be mailing off a check today to our server,
and you've made it possible for us to be online.  We deeply appreciate it.

From Pam Smith Arnold ('65) of VA - 08/21/04:

   You look like my mama's late sister, Alice Brownlee Frix Booth.  As the resemblance is largely one
of expressions and mannerisms, chances are small that you'd be able to see the resemblance.  You'll
just hafta trust Eleanor and me on this one.  You're our long-lost cousin, all right.  Sorry about the wacko
family.  It goes with the territory.

From Jimmy Smith ('62) of VA - 08/21/04:

Carol, please add to your birthday list. Jimmy Smith 6/29/44 class of 62 ----- Elliott
Smith 2/9/47 class of 65 ------ Aaron (Hank) Smith 4/6/51 class of 69

   Well, Jimmy Smith, as I live and breathe - long time, no hear!  Roger Willco, you and your brothers
have been added to the Birthday Page:

From Tom Norris (HHS - '73) of VA - 08/19/04:

   Thank YOU, Babe - and you're all added:

   I personally would pay Big Bucks for a picture of Bill's Barbeque.  Wait a minute - I don't HAVE any bucks,
big or otherwise.  Scratch that.  I would DEARLY LOVE to have an image of Bill's Barbeque.  It was one
of the first additions on "Our Old Stomping Grounds", because it was one of my very favorite places. 
"Anyone?  Anyone?"

   Hmmm - I don't seem to have ever posted my fond memories of the place there.  Sometime when my mood
brightens I'll hafta take care of that...

   While we're stomping, one of the things which Joe Madagan sent me that I actually DID process was his
wonderful memory of What-a-Burger:

   Thanks, Joe!

   Two of the other items were a picture of Joe Bellino for "Famous Sailors", and an image of Henry Kissinger
for "Famous Soldiers":

   Thanks again, Joe!  You and Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA just keep gussying up those Famous Military pages for me,
and I really appreciate it - even when I'm moving as slowly as I am right now.

More reservations continue to arrive for the fabulous 40th Reunion of the Great Class of 1964. 
Make sure your name is there:

From Nancy Bigger Alligood ('56) of VA - 08/22/04:

Hey Carol,

 

Ooop's on me!!   How wrong I was about you and your children.  Somewhere, I saw a picture
of you and 4 young boys and another gal.  I assumed you had only 4 sons.  WOW!!!  Was I assuming
wrong!  I had a time with just 2 (good) boys, and I was thinking you had twice as many.  Now, I learn
that you had 6 boys and a daughter.  WOW!!   WOW!!  And, you survived!!!!  WOW!!!  WOW!!!  You deserve
a medal .

 

One interesting note - as I was looking at some pictures of your last reunions, I saw where Lynn Walker
Brothers was also in your class.  Boy, do we go way back.  Lynn, my dearest friend Sandra Walker Batson
(her dear sister) and her brother, Dennis, lived across the street from me for years during our teenage years. 
Who remembers "party lines"?  Well, we shared a phone line with them, and I later learned (much later) that her 
brother, Dennis, would listen in on my teen age conversations with my girlfriends and "boy friends".    What
can I say?  Too funny!!!    I adore the whole family!!! 

 

Keep up the good work, Carol.  I am learning more and more all the time.  You are so good at what you do! 
And, you are appreciated!!!

    Thanks, Nancy!  I think the "medal" to which you're referring is called grey hair, but a box of Clairol Balsam Color #610
Medium Ash Brown usually takes care of that for me.

   I'm so excited for you and Pam!!!  Y'all have a wonderful time!

From Judy McCall Nesbitt ('65) of NC - 08/22/04:

   Thanks, Judy!  I added your email addy to the Contact Page for the Class of 1965: 

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-B.html

   That reminds me of two things.

   First, I CANNOT post you email addys without specific permission, so all you '65ers please go take another
look at that page and tell me one way or t'other.

   Also, several of you from other classes (Brownie Shaffer Haracivet - '62 and Neta Collins Hastings -'60
come readily to mind) have given me permission to post their addys, but I need a place to display them.  I'd be
delighted to create a similar page for each of the other classes.  Tell you what - when I have permission from
at least five of you from each class, I'll create your own page.  How's that?

   Thanks, y'all!

From Jeanette Parrish Houston (64) of VA - 08/22/04:

Dear Carol,
Please add my birthday to your list, September 14, 1946.  Also, add me to your list
of admirers - a silent one until now.  I enjoy your site so much and it must be so
gratifying to see how it has grown.  I hope to meet you at the reunion.

   Thanks, Jeanette!  I've added your birthday:

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html

   I am continually amazed by the growth of the site, and the joy it has brought into my life.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again at the Reunion. 
 

  Y'all take care of each other..

                                   Love to all, Carol
