“To me there are three things everyone should do every day.
Number one is laugh.
Number two--spend some time in thought.
Number three, you should have your emotions move you to tears.
If you laugh, think, and cry, that's a heck of a day.”

- Coach Jim Valvano of NC State University
 


“To love what you do and feel that it matters --
 how could anything be more fun?”

Katharine Graham
(16 June 1917 - 17 July 2001)
 

“If someday they say of me that in my work I have
contributed something to the welfare and happiness
of my fellow man, I shall be satisfied. ”

- George Westinghouse
(06 Oct 1846 - 12 Mar 1914)

lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever."

-- Samuel Smiles

get done that no one believed could be done."

Founder of the J. Peterman Company

one can only see what remains to be done."

The Alma Mater

Words and Music by Arthur Hundley, 1937
(d. 2 Sept 2008)

 

Within these sacred walls we stand,
To praise thine honored name,
We sing to thee, dear Newport High,
Thy glories we proclaim.

Chorus

Hail, hail to the Gold and Blue,
We raise thy banners high,
And ever through thine endless days,
In triumph, may they fly.

O Alma Mater, in our hearts,
We'll often turn to thee,
And echo once again the songs
Of thy dear memory.

 


Sukiyaki

- Rokusuke Ei
 
Ue o muite arukoo I look up when I walk
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni So the tears won't fall
Omoidasu haru no hi Remembering those happy spring days
Hitoribotchi no yoru But tonight I'm all alone
Ue o muite arukoo I look up when I walk
Nijinda hoshi o kazoete Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Omoidasu natsu no hi Remembering those happy summer days
Hitoribotchi no yoru But tonight I'm all alone
Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni Happiness lies above the sky
Ue o muite arukoo I look up when I walk
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni So the tears won't fall
Nakinagara aruku Though my heart is filled with sorrow *
Hitoribotchi no yoru For tonight I'm all alone
(whistling) (whistling)
Omoidasu aki no hi Remembering those happy autumn days
Hitoribotchi no yoru But tonight I'm all alone
Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon
Ue o muite arukoo I look up when I walk
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni So the tears won't fall
Nakinagara aruku Though my heart is filled with sorrow *
Hitoribotchi no yoru For tonight I'm all alone

Main Page redesigned 11/25/03 by my # 6 son, Dale Harty of NC and again by me on 03/22/06 and 10/17/06, when the Site Map was added.
When the whole lower section of the
page went nutzoidal on 07/05/07 (ARGHH!!!), I was forced to redesign it again.  I've done as much as I dare.
Well, I had, until it became unstable once more on 08/02/07, so I reworked it again, then once more on 01/19/08, and yet again on 11/14/08 and 03/24/09.
