I'm rather notoriously
slow at developing film...
Eleanor sent me these images taken on 11/17/03 of my #6 son, Dale,
receiving his call to serve
full-time for two years
as a Spanish-speaking missionary
for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Carlsbad,
CA.
He'll report to Provo, UT on 01/14/04 for training.
Thanks, Eleanor! And congratulations, Dale!

From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of NN, VA:
Dale's daughter, Trudy and
husband, Kevin, had their first child and our 2nd grandson,
Ryder Austin Mock, yesterday in Sarasota, FL.
He was 5 weeks early, weighed 5 lbs., 7 oz. and is 19" long.
Since he's a "preemie", the doctors are monitoring him closely to make sure
everything's okay.
When I get pictures, I'll be sure and forward them.
AH!!! Wonderful news! Congratulations to you all!

The response from the class of 1963 to have this re-union as soon as we could
has been great,
and we are all hoping for good weather.

for Oct 17th-19th at The Radisson Hotel, Hampton.
The new attendees are: Janice Clark Palmer and her husband Jim, Richard

From Pam Smith Arnold - formerly Pam Smith Tomczyk ('65) of IL and VA:
"I am taking advantage of
Carol's wonderful work in compiling a huge copy-to list to send out several
pieces of news.
Sorry to bother those of you who don't know me or Dave.
First, Dave and I are fairly
decisive people who don't take long to make decisions and don't look back.
So ... for reasons mostly associated with my children, we decided to go ahead
and get married. And we did on August 30th.
I am now Pam Arnold - and most happy to have a name that can be pronounced and
spelled -
there are several other reasons that I am happy too :>)
We still plan on having a larger
gathering which we are now calling a marriage celebration.
Bobby Yevak will still officiate (which Dave and I are thrilled about), my older
son has asked to be Dave's best man
and my daughter will by my matron of honor.
We want it to be outside, and it will be in the Peninsula area.
And I would love to have any of you who would like to come and be happy with us
to attend.
So - we can have a party and all see each other again!
Dave and I will be letting you know more but I am looking at the end of June
2004 right now.
Today is my last official day at
Lucent,
but no one knows that as my VP has asked me to stay on for 2 1/2 months while he
replaces me.
Long story, but I went to him with a deal which he accepted, and I feel like I
was really in the catbird seat wit this.
It's a great thing! So, my e-mail address will be changing: it is
I hope you are all having days
that are as happy as mine have become.
And I hope that you will save a day in June to come celebrate with us.
Pam Arnold (formerly - but never again - Tomczyk)"
WOW! Congratulations! What fabulous news!!!

From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of NN, VA:
I'm happy to report that our grandson has finally been born, only 4 days late!
After 16 hours of intense labor, and eventual c-section, my daughter Kimberly
and her husband Jeremy, had a son, Jarrett Mason Easley, on Sept. 10, 2003.
He weighed 8 lbs., 4 oz., and is 22" long.
Kimberly's husband, Jeremy is 6'5", so I guess Jarrett will be a
good basketball player someday!!
They've had a little setback, as the baby has jaundice, so they haven't come
home yet.
Hopefully, tomorrow. I'll be in NC for a couple of weeks helping her out.
Kimberly's dad is Richie Allen, Class of '66.
Will send pictures later, probably not until I get back home to VA.
Thanks, Sandi! And congratulations!

He's wearing his brother Jacob's blessing outfit (made by Grammie Carol)

From Tom Oxner ('65) of AR:
I have endured the curse of being a
gearhead most of my life.
I certainly was at NNHS.
Throughout graduate school, I managed to repress these urges, but ultimately,
I had to come out of the closet and admit that I really am a gearhead.
For the past few years, I have been autocrossing various Porsche 911s.
A photo of my current 72 911 is at
http://www.neokla-
scca.org/SoloII/EventPictures/Sean_Nov02/pb103466.shtml
The sanctioning body in which I autocross
(autocrossing is an event where a cones are used to define a course in a parking
lot or airport)
is the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA).
They allow kids to autocross in go-carts
(with a number of restrictions for safety reasons) as young as 8 years of age.
When my son Luke turned 8, we bought him a go-cart so he could go
I am very proud of Luke.
He has improved tremendously as a driver in the past year and one half.
He was quite excited to win the Governor's Cup AND be presented the trophy by
the Lt. Governor.
Tom Oxner the Proud Dad
WOW! T
hanks, Tom - and congratulations to both you and Luke!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hospital!! - a bit ahead of schedule and not before his mother overcame some
unexpected complications.
"Now, all is falling into place as the new mama prepares to return to work - a
place where she is so well thought of that she received a salary increase
during her absence that far exceeded the annual norm, along with a job
rating of Excellent! She took after her father. I wish!!"

Thank you for all of your hard work on our behalf."

"I wanted to
let you know - as I know you send out
mails to a broad populous - that Dave (Arnold) and I
have decided, for a number of reasons, to get married in 2004.
We are planning an outdoor wedding (maybe even at NN Park!)
because we want everyone who wants to to be able to come.
Afterwards we would like to have a big celebration.
Trust me, it won't be anything really formal -
just people getting together to be happy.
In the meantime, Dave and I are relishing our engagement.
I have to say it is so much fun to be so in love at this age -
especially with a man like Dave.
Life just keeps getting better.
I think you feel the same way as life advances -
and I wish the same sentiment for all our classmates and friends.
Part of the increasing joy has come with 'finding' so many people again -
especially some that have become very special to me."
Thanks for the
update, Pam!
The year 2004 has a
nice ring to it to me!
We're excited for you and looking forward to being there with you.
I couldn't agree with you more about the joy of finding so many old
friends all over again.
What a delight!

"Wanted
to let you know, Grandson #2 was born Sunday
March 30th, to my daughter and son-in-law in Annapolis
Md. The baby was 4 weeks early and both baby and
mother are great. As a fluke I had found a flight to
Norfolk on Saturday and flew in to look for a place to
live for my upcoming move. My cell phone rang in the
middle of the night and I was able to get to Annapolis
in time. The kids were shocked that I was there as
they thought I was in Colorado. The baby is Sheldon
Hollis Padgett, six pounds six ounces, eighteen
inches. ISN'T LIFE GREAT!!!!"

Mattie and I had

Our new baby grandson came a little early. The proud mother is our younger
daughter, Allison. He (JD- short for James David Wightman) was born
1/23/03. He weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces and looks just like me. Mattie took
a week off from teaching and stayed with Allison night and day for the first
week. The baby is now about 3 1/2 weeks old. Here are a few pictures of
the baby (right after he was born). See if you can pick out the one with
"good looking baby", "ugly old man". |

I also have years '61, '62 & '63 with some writings in these.
If someone graduated in these years they are welcome to them."
This is an incredibly generous offer from Linwood, as these Anchors could be
