Comments:

Time is both our constant companion and adversary, yet here for a few precious moments she graciously bows her head, concedes the spotlight and departs center stage. Now, in all of its radiance life's love and simplicity returns us momentarily to our infancy. Despite any woes or complexities, and despite the storms - we find ourselves once again like the sea turtles returning to our beach, like salmon returning to our stream- returning to life's origin - to become ourselves and us once more.

Here's to our up and coming
50th REUNION
NRHS'65 THE YEAR THAT LASTS FOREVER

School Story:

There are several:

1) During a beautiful spring morning I became fascinated by this old man who was fishing in the twin lakes.His fishing rod was almost bent from its tip to the handle as he extended his arms well over his head. A picture of concentration, that old man very adeptly played that fish for two hours and finally was rewarded with the
largest carp I have ever seen caught in my fifteen years of fishing there. As I walked into the school I wondered if life would always be so generous - if the effort would be invested. I wrote on my late slip that I had "watched a man catch a fish". The secretary accepted it without a question.

2)After missing a homework assignment I was taken aside by my biology teacher. She told me that there was no excuse it and that I needed to see the big picture - I needed to be able, in the future step up and contribute when necessary. The next year Mrs. Anne Schwerner lost her son Michael, the freedom rider. I have never forgotten either of them.

3) How to change the complexion:
Sometimes there were gray days when dark thoughts clouded my mind. They seemed to forecast a storm ahead and I would walk around with my head down. Often a voice would rise above the din in that crowded hallway, calling out my name demanding my attention. When I looked up, there you were smiling, and then, so was I.
Thank You,
Judy, Liz, Lamonte, Josh, Charlie, Robin, Vinnie, Angelo, Cheryl, Toni.....

A Pebble in the Ocean?
Mike, We had Miss McGill together in NRHS..Are you still teaching at GW? I'm sorry to have missed your birthday but things here have gotten out of hand. Just one Yes Or No answer if you can, directed toward this question: Although elected, 47 has dismantled and gutted the government by firing hundreds of thousands of Federal Employees and is attempting to cut off Social Service agencies .He is alienating our allies by attempting to impose tariffs and appears to want to renege on our obligation to support to Ukraine. He is also threatening to take us out of NATO. Now the Question: Based on his actions as a despot rather then our President, are there any legitimate avenues that can be taken to remove 47 from office at once or before his present term expires?
You clerked for Thurgood! Awesome!!

Nick, How is Irwin??? It's been quiet since day three.
I certainly hope that you are well and stay away from the rugby!
Golf, Ping Pong or Paddle Ball perhaps?

Dear Carol You must be kidding!I certainly hope that the explanation cleared up its intended focus. As a NRHS'65 alumni you're a winner. Remember, We never lost anything!
And don't intend to now.

To Hell With It Ralph

Time no longer ages us like fine wines
We're now the soil's roots and gnarly vines
With no flavor to savor, well at times
No matter - for at this age the port we sample
Certifies our sage and is ample
To tweak the mind and stop the ramble
To realize that each and every gamble
Brought you sunshine everyday
And so with about a week away
Early Happy Happy Birthday
Ralph

Blessings

My prayers go out to Chris's family and obviously to Chris himself:  From thoughts to themes, the creation of beautiful projects in a life in which both were well fashioned... God Bless

You've known that I've always loved you
But was just a little too shy
And not as fast as Fred -
What a lucky Guy!!
Happy Birthday and My Best to both of you
Greg "The Turtle" Douglas :-)
