Note from Joan

Dru:

 

Since I am so happy to still be here, would you add my Nov. 3, 1941 birthdaty to the birthday list???

 

Thanks, Joan (Varner Gay)

 

Again, thanks for the effort you (and others) make to keep us informed about our classmates.  I am always excited when Cactus says "You have a CHS e-mail!!"

I can’t imagine anyone from our class speaking negatively about anyone. Certainly we’ve all “outgrown” petty differences and disputes. I don’t know who sent the message or who it was about, but I certainly reflect George Derryberry’s comments…

Paul Robere

Dear Friends and Classmates,

I stand in support of George Derryberry’s response to the mailing targeting a class member. The spirit of the CHS Class of 1959, and the integrity of its members rise above the vicious attack of one individual. In our gatherings through the years the care and concern for all has been evident, especially with the celebration of our 50th reunion and 70th birthdays.

It was at Chattanooga High School that we found a common thread. In many ways we are woven of the same cloth: similar roots, a firm foundation in the 50’s, a time when life was simple, wholesome and memorable. Now, we have come together again, having traveled many pathways, but, always there is the memory lane, which we never tire of traveling.

We’re making new memories, too, and keeping them alive with our avenues of communication.

Our CHS Alma Mater has some poignant words: ‘proud, purity, power, love’. The third stanza seems fitting: “Now, hope points us onward to life while proud voices blend in happy chorus.” This spirit is alive and well among us. Three other words appear in the last stanza: strife, conquerors, victorious.

We are concerned for and protective of each other. We will rise above the ashes of slander.

Consider yourself loved today.
-Sharon Barker Tunnell

To '59ers

Today I received an anonymous mailing insulting one of our classmates whom I like and respect. Because the scurrilous piece obviously was sent to several other class members, I would appreciate your posting this message on the Class of '59 Facebook page or website, whichever is in existence. I strongly feel that the subject of this vicious slur deserves our strong support.

I have just received at our home an anonymous (read "cowardly") and incredibly cruel and hurtful mailing that unfairly attacks a very fine and talented member of our class. If this was in fact sent to me by or at the request of any classmate, then whoever you are, you deserve to be drummed out of the class, and worse. The lady you so despicably demeaned does not deserve such a slanderous assault from anyone, and least of all, from you. You are directed to remove my name and address
immediately from your mailing list. 

If you have a problem with what I say in all sincerity to you, you know where I live. 

George Derryberry,

Thanks for the birthday wishes.  I loved what Sharon Barker Tunnell put on Facebook by using Smilebox.  The wonderful emails and notes on facebook were great. 

Our son John, daughter-in-law, and 5-1/2 month old grandson came from CA to visit and Bill and I then took the three of them to Charleston, SC for John to be in a wedding.  They were here a few days and then we were away for eight days and just returned last night. 

Our daughter gave me a hat to wear on my birthday.  The attached picture is of our CA kids with me on my birthday and I do have my birthday hat on in front of Outback Restaurant in Knoxville on our way to Charleston.

Love,

Louella Cherry Spencer

From: marti brown ("Lt. Col." Marti Brown or the GS 15 civilian equivalent)

Sent: Monday, July 11, 2011 5:19 PM

From 1965 to 1968, I was an entertainer for the USO out of NYC.  When you do USO Shows (at least back then) you go on orders from the military and start out with the rank and privileges of a second lieutant, only with a civilian GS rating.  I made so many trips overseas, that the last one I made I was a civilian GS 15, which I understand is equivilent to a full bird colonel (I used to love to get on those Military Airlift Command contract flights and have the protocol officer cater to me, much to the dismay of captains, majors and lieutenant colonels!!) LOL

Anyway, as you know, there are troops stationed all over the world who need to be entertained. My first assignment was the Alaskan Command where I had to go to Survival School and learn how to jump out of airplanes and make tents out of parachutes, among other things. Thank goodness I never actually had to do that. We flew around in a Gooney Bird (C-47) for three months, playing every little base we could find protecting the U.S.  from Russian missiles, etc. I still have a certificate for "flying in USAF aircraft #222 in the Arctic Circle and becoming a Fraternal Member of the Arctic Empire."

The next assignment was the Caribbean Command ... from the Panama Canal Zone to Cuba where I happened to be when Castro cut the water lines to Guantanamo Bay. It was a great adventure and although not a war zone, more bases than you could shake a stick at and many shows. I was almost kidnapped in the Dominican Republic, but that's another whole story.

Next came the Asian Command. We would start in Korea then go to Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Philipines, Thailand and Vietnam, Guam, and Hawaii.  I thrived on entertaining these wonderful guys and gals who meant so much to me and my country. Words cannot express the heartfelt pleasure and what it meant to me to do these shows. We would fly up and down this circuit entertaining the troops wherever needed. The second Asian trip was the hospital circuit where we were allowed one hour in each ward.   Started out doing a 40-minute show and visiting 20-minutes which soon changed to a 20-minute show and visiting 40-minutes. I would return home loaded with phone numbers to call and letters to send, etc.

(I returned to the Far East with a private booking company and played the military club circuit and lived on the economy (as opposed to USO shows) where we lived on base or in the sergeant major's tent in the jungle.  Did that circuit for almost a year with basically the same itinerary as the USO shows. In 1968, a couple of days before Tet Offensive, it was time for me to go. There was one seat on a flight to Hong Kong and I took it. So many memories and so many wonderful people. Hopefully I did some good. I think so.

I could go on forever, as I have also done shows at military bases in Iceland, Greenland, Labrador, Germany, Spain, Italy and Turkey. My utmost respect goes to all who have served. Thanks for letting me ramble ... maybe I should write a book.

Love, 


Marti Brown

Dru,

In my correspondence with (CHS '59er) Marti Brown she confirmed that she sings on You Tube. She did not know of it until just lately. You might want to put it on the blog.

Marti Brown - "Sing For My Supper" (1973) An obscure female country singer who recorded for Atlantic around 1973. She recorded one LP called "Ms. Marti Brown". "Sing For My Supper" was included, a nice well sung cover of a Donna Fargo tune. Ms. Brown was born in in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Oh, btw „Let My Love Shine (1973, C&W # 78) was her only hit on the country charts.
