Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I'm slowly figuring out
what's wrong here. Any novice could have determined that already, but to
say that
I have a non-analytical mind doesn't really adequately describe the
situation....
Anyway, you'll notice that
the name of this link doesn't match the new name of the page. Think nothing of
it.
It works. I'll just use it while I keep thinking.

Carol,
I finally got the
pictures from the reunion developed. I am presently out of town. Oh, good! By the time you get back in town, I'm confident I will have figured out what I'm doing wrong here! GIGGLES!!! Let me see, a CD, yes. Or the pictures themselves. Yes, probably. Either one. Yes. Definitely. But not the 3-1/2" disk. Okay, fine! That'll be great! Thanks so much, Edna! |

Carol --
I withdraw my request from a week or so
ago for someone to look up the "Atlanta Lunch" in the 1951 City
Directory. I was looking over the CRT pages
again, and this time noticed that
The diner in question was located at 2413
1/2 Jefferson. Glad to know my memory hadn't failed, as I had remembered
it being around 25th & J. Strange how your mind can remember such obscure
things from so long ago. I've never been in that diner, but for some
reason it stuck in my mind.
So, anyhooo, the photos of buses 91, 143,
and 170 were taken at that location -- with the photographer probably
standing on the SE (or SW) corner of 25th & J, shooting East.
The photo of #143 had been identified as
being at the Shipyard's Main
Gate. I lived just a block from the gate and knew that area like the back
of my hand. The bus stop was on the South (West) side of Washington
Avenue, where there were only the Shipyard's vehicle and man gates, and a
rather tall (8-10 ft?) picket fence with iron stakes. There were no
commercial buildings, like in this photo.
-- Ron AHA! Another mystery solved!!! Thanks so much, Ronnie! Not only that, but we now have the foundation for a new addition to Our Old Stomping Grounds - which I'll do shortly..... I've only partially amended the CRT page so far, but it will all come together soon. (I'm going to
try something really radical here. I'm going to try to insert an image
here - you know, the way I used to do routinely......) |

OH, MY GOODNESS!!! I think it worked! |

Here's a belated reply to a question by Tom Norris (HHS - '73) of VA in his 10/16/04 letter you have posted on the CRT pages.
Tom asked if the route sign on the front of
bus #91 said "Colored". I'm fairly certain it said "Norfolk Ferry", which
was one of the CRT routes, and which included Jefferson Avenue. At that
time the ferry terminal was essentially at the foot of Jefferson, at the
small boat harbor.
Tom wouldn't be likely to remember that
route name, since it was discontinued in late '57 or early '58 with the
opening of the Bridge-Tunnel. My guess is Tom was maybe 2 years old then?
-- Ron No, probably not! GIGGLES!!! Thanks again, Ron! And speaking of CRT..... |

Thank you for the
photos of the old Mack busses on your website. My father worked for Mack for
many years, starting out in the bus division. It was nice to see what he
worked on during his early years at Mack Trucks. |

Chandler Nelms (Hampton HS - '63) of MD - 11/15/05 - "Catching Up":

I’ve just been catching up on email and newsletters and wanted to acknowledge a couple of entries in the Veterans' Day edition.
First,
Oh, my goodness! There were two of them! My daddy finally had to leave private practice and work at the Veterans' Administration Center at Kecoughtan so he could pull a salary because he kept refusing to charge his patients - or collect from those he had once charged. I never knew that about your father, because he always treated Mama and me for free anyway - something about professional courtesy to a fellow physician's family. We tried not to abuse the privilege by only visiting when it was necessary. And Daddy had made us practically sign a blood oath never to call a physician at home unless it was a life threatening emergency. But even as a kid I knew what a good doctor - and good man - he was. It was patently obvious.
Next,
http://www.marines.com/page/usmc.jsp Isn't that marvelous?!? I'll thank you again for that myself, Captain!
Finally,
Chandler Nelms Chandler Darlin', you're an absolute hoot! Thanks so much!

I thought it might be nice
while I was going nutsy trying to think (as you know, that is totally against my
principles) if I did something other than throw things in frustration. So
I did this:

Hello stranger,
Sometimes I really read your
newsletter, and tonight I was
taking a look at pictures from
the class
of '51 reunion. Swanson ('50) and Bobby ('51)
Hornsby are my first cousins. Their mother and my father were brother
and sister. Bobby, of course, passed away some years ago. Small world,
isn't it. There are so many of us who are "Newport born and Newport bred."
You continue to do a great job with
the website. You've managed to bring together
many "reunions," and you've made a lot people happy. Old friends have
gotten together, and it would have never happened were it not for you. You
should be proud of what you've done
...I know you have made me proud of you! :)
Jimmy
Hi, Jimmy-Jimmy! You only read the Newsletter "sometimes"?!? I'm crushed! WILD GIGGLES!!! The intertwining is downright spooky, isn't it?!? I love it! It makes me very happy to hear that you're proud of me! You, of course, were the very first person with whom I reconnected - on New Years Eve, 1999. Let's see, I was wearing my royal purple bulky knit sweater, and my mama's long silver necklace, and ......WILDER GIGGLES!!!! Thank you, Sweetie! It's always a delight to hear from you! |
I'm eliminating so many
possible causes of my current computer woes, than a real solution should present
itself by tomorrow. Then I'll tackle that backlog of goodies I've been too
frustrated to address for the last
couple of days. Keep the faith.
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

She Loves You
- John Lennon
(The Beatles)
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh,
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh.
You think you lost your love,
Well I saw her yesterday - yi - yay.
She sats she loves you,
And you know that can’t be bad,
Yes, she loves you,
And you know you should be glad.
She said you hurt her so,
She almost lost her mind,
And now she says she knows,
You’re not the hurting kind.
She says she loves you,
And you know that can’t be bad,
She says she loves you,
And you know you should be glad.
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh,
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh.
And with a love like that,
You know you should be glad.
You know it’s up to you,
I think it’s only fair,
Pride can hurt you too,
Apologize to her.
Because she loves,
And you know that can’t be bad,
Yes, she loves you,
And you know you should be glad.
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh,
She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh.
With a love like that,
You know you should be glad.
With a love like that,
You know you should be glad.
With a love like that,
You know you should be glad.
Yeh, yeh, yeh,
Yeh, yeh, yeh.
