2009-12-25 It truly is "A Wonderful Life" - Just ask Donna and
Geoff . Hope you enjoy the Chellis version of "It's
a Wonderful Life". A special thank you to Geoff for sharing
the video with us. A few
memorable quotes
from the original "It's a Wonderful Life":
|
Clarence: Remember, George: no man is a failure who has
friends. |
Zuzu
Bailey: Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings an
angel gets his wings.
George Bailey:
That's right, that's right.
George Bailey:
Attaboy, Clarence. |
|
Clarence: Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many
other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he? |
Little Mary: Is this the ear you can't hear on?
[whispering in his bad ear]
Little Mary:
George Bailey, I'll love you 'til the day I die. |

Ah...poetry!" and to Lara, "Thank you for a wonderful day on
Saturday. Uncle Mike and I had such a great time! Dalton is just TOO
cute for words. I felt the pangs of "the good old days"...I'm getting
old!" Safe to say, Uncle Mike is also getting old!

2009-05-16 A special thank you to Joe and Anita Collins for
sharing the following family update: "Michael, how good to see that
you are keeping up the site and the touch of elbows! A short update
on the Collinses of Virginia. Anita and I live in Alexandria with our
two Scotties, Biscuit and Baci. We are generally well, but dealing
with the heartbreak and grief of the death of Anita's younger sister,
Elizabeth in February. Joseph and Jude both live with their families
in Great Falls. Our family is our hobby, so to speak. Joe Jr. has
his own software firm that supports among others, the Dept. of
Education. He is married to Nancy and they have 4 kids: Joey, a high
school student and lacrosse player, Jessica, Madeleine, and Will.
Jude, whose in commercial real estate, is married to Julie Jacobsen
and their babies are Tyler Ann and Addison, both pre-K going on 20.
This week was very busy. 200 miles in the back and forth between
Alexandria and lacrosse games and school plays, and family birthdays.
I retired a decade ago (!) from the Army and am now teaching at the
National War College in Washington and helping my buddies in the White
House and the Pentagon as time permits. Anita says that National may be
as close as I will get to heaven. It is a great job. I am still writing
frequently, usually in Armed Forces Journal or blogging on
national security on the National Journal website.
God bless all who read this.
Joe and Anita Collins" |

Eagle Scout Project
A message from Nick (Susan and Tony’s son)
- The Eagle Scout project I plan to do is to replace the church bell stand
at the United Methodist Church in East Northport. Currently the unstable
wooden frame and base may cause the existing bell to fall, break, and
possibly injury someone. I plan to honor and preserve the bell’s historic
character by constructing a new frame. To help fund my project I am
planning a car wash on April 25th (rain date April 26th), 9AM - 3PM, at Pep Boys, 6350 Jericho Turnpike,
Commack. For additional details please

St. Baldrick’s Update - We did it! Mikee,
Brian, Geoff and I had our heads shaved!
As you know, we went bald to stand in solidarity with kids fighting
cancer. Even more important, though, we did it to raise money
for life-saving research.
Last year, the
St. Baldrick’s Foundation funded childhood cancer research in a
big way – over $15 million in grants! These funds went to
pediatric cancer experts who are looking for cures today, as well as
to young Fellows and Scholars who will be the experts of tomorrow.
If you are interested in supporting this most worth cause please see
the 2009-02-20 Breaking News item below.
Hope you enjoy the
photos of us fulfilling
our
St.
Baldrick’s commitment. |

Jon Lyons Estate - We are the proud parents of a new (and pretty
broke, but welcome to the real world) home owner! The heavenly abode
is located at, 89 Baltimore Ave., Narragansett, RI - It is just off of
Ocean Road, between the Christian Brother's Monastery where we had one
of our earlier family reunions and the Narragansett Parks & Rec. At
the end of his street is Blackpoint Hiking Trail which runs along the
ocean and would be a great place to visit during the family reunion,
or whenever you are visiting RI. With a little bit of paint and few
minor alterations, it may be displayed in one of the upcoming issues
of Coastal Living . . . . ." (view

BREAKING NEWS
I am again
having my head shaved in a fund raising effort for the St. Baldrick's
Foundation for kids and their families with childhood cancer. You
heard it right - I'm shaving my head in solidarity with children who
have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while at
the same time raising critical funds for childhood cancer research!
In the US, more children die of childhood cancer than any other
disease. It's getting very close to St. Baldrick's Day on Saturday,
March 14th at Napper Tandy's Pub in Northport** and I haven't heard
from many of you. I would appreciate if you could do me a favor and
make a donation in any amount to this worthwhile cause. Please make a
donation on my behalf to support childhood cancer research so that all
children diagnosed with cancer will have a better chance for a cure.
To make a donation, please visit my
St. Baldrick's web page
and click on
"Donate Online" or "Download a Donation Form" to send in by mail. Or
you can just make out a check to the "St. Baldrick's Foundation" and
send directly to me at 2 Loret Lane, East Northport, NY 11731-1612.
Make sure you write "Shavee ID: S-330596" in the memo section of your
check. Thank you in advance for your support!
For
a good laugh see

Our Hawaiian/California
Vacation - September 24 to October 8, 2008 - Thea and I celebrated our 35th
Wedding Anniversary, Thea's 55th Birthday and her well deserved retirement
with a
wonderful trip to California and Hawaii.
It was our third attempt at such a trip and I think we both agree, it was
well worth the wait! We
took many photos to help us remember this wonderful experience.

Received the following message from a proud Mom and
hope you enjoy the video - "You’ll love the link I’m sending along to
you. Jon was on a half hour
NESN (new England sports network) show on spear fishing. Of course
he caught the only keeper. After the show they took the fish to a local
gourmet Narragansett restaurant and cooked and served the film crew and
participants. Please share this with Uncle Tom and Aunt Lydia, Thea and
Mike, Joe and Diane – don’t know if Aunt Lucy and Uncle Mike do e-mail,
but hoping you have a group e-mail set up for them. Love to all, Your
favorite cousin in Rhode Island, Pam" Enjoy the
video! |

The Gratitude Campaign
Have you ever seen one of our military walking
past you and wanted to convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or
it felt awkward? Recently, a gentleman from Seattle created a gesture which
could be used and has started a massive movement to get the word out.
Please take just a moment to watch.... The Gratitude Campaign and then tell
your friends!
http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/shortmovie.php

You can send a message to the troops that will
be printed out on a post card and given to somebody stationed in Iraq or
Afghanistan. You can be sure they would much rather be home for the
holidays. But since they can't, take a minute to let them know we haven't
forgotten about them and we appreciate all they are doing for us.
Click on the link below and
thank the brave men and women who are serving our great Country!

In God We Still Trust
In March, 2005, this song was performed at a Diamond
Rio concert. They received an immediate standing ovation, and continue to
do so every time they perform it! Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play
it because it was considered politically incorrect. Consequently, the song
was never released to the public. If this song speaks to your heart and you
want to share it with friends and loved ones, please do. Then let us cease
being the silent majority and join together - not as a particular political
party, but as Proud Americans!
