Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
From Me ('65) of NC - 11/11/06:
Can you
really listen to the strains of Sousa' "Washington Post" and not stand a
little taller and a little straighter, and feel an enormous rush of pride in
everything American as a tear-streaked smile spreads across your face?
No, I didn't think so! 
As I was searching for a
midi arrangement of this that I liked (and while this one is a bit short of
the trumpets I wanted to hear, the dynamics, the percussion, and the tubas
are great!), I cane across this site I thought many of you would enjoy -
especially (but not limited to) you baseball fans:

The
Poquoson Island Players or PIPs
as they refer to themselves serve up a batch of madcap laughs in their
production of Mark Landon Smith’s Radio T.B.S.
Lydia Powell Mugler ('58 - of VA) has some very nice moments to milk
as on the spot reporter Missy Goode.

Way to go, Lydia!
Thanks so much, Joe!

Dear Carol,
I know you've been hesitant about fixing a
subscription fee for the
Newsletter. I do agree with you that it should be available to all
Typhoons and friends regardless of income. I would, however, like to
challenge those who can, to commit to a monthly fee (whatever they can
afford) so you can count on meeting your expenses. (With maybe a little
somethin' for your own sweet self?) You have my monthly commitment of
$10. I can't think of a happier use for this money!
Typhoons Forever!
And, because of you, We'll Always Have
Buckroe...
Chris

Birthday of the USMC"

It seems like we just
celebrated the 230th anniversary just recently....!
I
know!!! Wasn't that only yesterday?!? |
|
I hadn't
been back to "the sacred soil of Virginia" in many years, but I do believe I
was as excited to see that many gorgeous Marines, resplendent in their dress
blues, as I was to see my old friends - which is saying quite a bit!

Hi, Carol:
Heading out to a dinner to honor our Veterans.
I will remember your father and your family in our
prayers.
Always,
Joe Madagan
Thank you so much,
Major Madagan - for everything!

the USMC"

Hi, Carol:
Thanks for the special "Salute" to the USMC
in the
Newsletter. Hope everyone caught the speech by Jim
Lehrer yesterday at the dedication ceremony of the National
Museum of the Marine Corps.
Just in case they missed it, Jim gave a rousing speech
at Quantico. During this speech, he remembered his Marine father, and
relatives who have served in the Corps.
Then he recalled reporting to Quantico for Platoon
Leaders Class as a young college student. During the initial roll call at
the train station where the students had just arrived for training, the
Drill Instructor pronounced his last name incorrectly. Jim spoke up to
give the correct way to pronounce his last name.
Then total silence settled, as he heard the leather
heels pounding on the concrete towards him, and he was told his name was
now "Bo Peep, Little Bo Peep" and he never forgot it.
What a great story!
Thanks for sharing that, Joe! Alas, I missed it.
I've spent the weekend observing Veterans Day in my usual fashion -
watching old war movies on TV, and remembering.
As for sponsorship for the website, I liked the idea
you had about raising funds the way PBS does for certain programs. Of
course, none of us would want our names shown as an underwriter. I am sure
you will come up with a plan for several good suggestions have been
provided by your subscribers. Certainly, none of us would like to see
this website cease to exist.
The storm will pass, and you should not be embarrassed
at all about the situation that you and Paul and your dear family find
yourself in at this time. I dare say there are few who have not lost a job
due to mergers, acquisitions, and sellout of businesses in their business
careers. So, we understand and hope you will not be embarrassed if one
were to give of their abundance to one in need during a storm in their
life.
Have a reflective Veterans Day, as you ponder the duty
performed by
your
father in the Army.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Thank you,
sweet Adonis!
I almost have a plan for that Subscriber/Underwriter page; I just
need to sleep on it a bit more.....
Thank you so very much -
for everything! |

From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA to the Class of 1964 - 10/15/06 - "NNHS 60TH
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION":
|
Fellow Classmates.
I wanted to thank all of you for attending our
Birthday Celebration. I hope that you had a memorable evening.
I also hope that you took lots of candid photos of
your classmates, of Ms. Kanter ... and of
"THE KING".
I know that those who could not attend (and other
NNHS classes) would love to see all of your
photos. The best way to make that happen is to let Carol Buckley Harty
('65 - of NC) place them on the NNHS Web Page.
And, the best way to do that is to send them all to me, so that I can
archive them to my hard drive before sending them along to Carol.
You can attach them to e-mails, if you wish, but I
can handle any media.
For "snail mail" send them to: NNHS CLASS OF
1964, P.O. BOX 6387, Norfolk VA 23508-0387
It was great seeing all of you.
TYPHOONS FOREVER,
Dave Spriggs
