 Phil Morris in this picture.

A '61 recalls:  "If I remember correctly, there was a plaque or marker in front of the building that said it had been built by the WPA or one of the other New Deal agencies. When we arrived in the fall of '49, a new wing with four new classrooms was being finished. A lot of the neighborhood was built in the '30's, but much of it was post-war, too. Where I lived, a few blocks west, was on a entire street of new 2-bedroom frame houses like the one in the photo, bought by our parents on the GI Bill."

Class of 1963 - Tandy Elementary

The grade school classes in this posting show about 20% of the EHHS Class of 1963 as they matured through the grades at Tandy Elementary. These were some of the kids who had been in school together the longest when we graduated. There was a smaller group that came from Handley, fewer still from Sagamore Hill Elementary, and a similar number from Meadowbrook Elementary.

See the current projects page where picture IDs are most recently being worked on.


Mrs. Herring's First Grade 1951 - 1952.

Tandy Elementary is located just west of Meadowbrook Junior High, south of Meadowbrook Drive and dates to the 1920s. The neighborhoods that it served were developed earlier than those east of the Junior High.

In this picture are Kay Humphrey, Susie Wadlington, Gail DeVore, Kitty Koun, and Betty Swanson, along with some other future 1963 Highladners. Can you identify any of them?

Remember 9-11

George Washington worshiped here.  He had his own pew.

It served as a refuge for the hundreds of firefighters, police, and volunteers who were involved in the aftermath of 9-11. Memorabilia such as letters, pictures, and testaments are now displayed throughout the chapel.

The city's unwavering spirit and the American people's compassion for each other are evident in the memoirs displayed here.  It's impossible not to shed a tear when you're here.

Many people make it a point to go back when they are in New York, not so they won't forget, but so that they can remember.

9-11 From Space

This striking photo taken from orbit overhead provides a terrific overview of the outrage. It started circulating on some of the online news outlets yesterday. To my mind, an image like this clearly shows just how much real estate enemies of this country would have to overcome to really do us serious damage.

Although the attack was immensely tragic and those who would try more such attacks remain focused on their evil intent, it’s worth remembering that most of them lack running water, are mostly illiterate, and they go to war with box cutters or in the back of small pick-up trucks. It seems constructive to use images like this to keep things in perspective.

The direct loss of human life at this site on this day was about 0.001% of our population, or stated another way, less than half the number of all people we lose every day in this country from all causes.

On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the savage act in 2001, we are looking for a number of potential threats, but mostly for 3 individuals who have apparently been tasked to detonate a car bomb somewhere. The news further states that if they fail in that attack, they have been ordered to murder as many of our citizens as possible where they can. Seems to me that a similar attack could be activated on any given day anywhere, so it’s incumbent on us to remain vigilant, say a prayer, but not to be frightened to go about our business…it’s only 3 morons, after all. And even if it were to be 20 morons, the image shows the worst they have been able to muster thus far.

Hitch ‘em up, my fellow Americans.

By the way, Capt. Sully landed his plane just under the "H" in Hudson River.

Dilbert and the Poor Communicator

If you spent any time in a large corporation or university during the past 15-years or so, you most likely heard some of this stuff. Utter gibberish flowing from the mouths of newly-minted MBAs.

Vietnam Aerials – 1970 (prox)

A Central Highlands Village

Pictures are fascinating when you consider that they record just a fraction of a second in time. Although I don’t specifically look for pictures like these, when I see something unusual, I’ll stay awhile to have a look.

These pictures of circa1969-70 Vietnam, taken during the war from a military aircraft really stood out for their clarity and subject matter. Most of us who served over there didn’t get this kind of view; however, most of us heard of the places or went through them from time to time. Capable 35mm SLR cameras were relatively new and only recently available at an affordable price. Even at that, there were some operator challenges to getting a good picture out of them. Due to the high cost of color printing at the time, most of us used slide film. The manual controls could be fussy for a novice to master. In my outfit there were only a handful of 35mm cameras in use and it’s anyone’s guess how many of those guys were capable of taking a good picture.

In the case of these particular shots, considering the operation challenges, add to it the scarcity of guys assigned to fly low and slow enough to take pictures like these and I would consider them very rare. As a bonus, the photographer, an Air Force pilot, provided a brief description of the image.

If you only heard of these places over the network nightly news, along with the body count….here they are, or rather, were:

And along the final approach course to Nha Trang:

Here are a couple taken in the Saigon area:

If you were listening to the broadcast news back then, you would recall the huge shrill raised about incursions into Cambodian airspace. Here is a picture of one of those incursions...a massive thunderstorm cut the 25-year old pilot off from taking a direct route to his home base.

1960 Meadowbrook Junior High School

About 2/3 of our 1963 Highlander class came from Meadowbrook. Here is a front page of the school paper published in May 1960 as they graduated from Meadowbrook and were bound for EHHS the next Fall. There are a lot of names and parents' names in this scan.

Steven Wright Gems

If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous erudite scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates." His mind sees things differently than most of us do. . . Here are some of his gems:

1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.

3 - Half the people you know are below average.

4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

8 - If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.

9 - All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.

10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend, .but she left me before we met.

12 - OK, so what's the speed of dark?

13 - How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

16 - When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

18 - Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now.

19 - I intend to live forever so far, so good.

20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

22 - What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

25 - If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

27 - Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

30 - The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

31 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

32 - The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

33 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

34 - If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

And the all time favorite:

35 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
