Newton Highlands bloggers - update

FYI after fighting with google and their new interface, I gave up and registered on the New Blogger. They win. We switch. What this means: I don't really know...it all seems the same...or is it?..

Present users. This is going to be easy.

When you sign in, go to the new blogger.

Your sign in name is similar (not exactly the same) as before

newtoncenter@gmail.com

is it.

The password is the same as before!

email me if you have trouble

By the way, the newtoncenter@gmail.com is a working email account. You can send and recieve email there, if necessary.

Google Blogger

Well google is getting more and more persistent and insistent on switching this blog over to New google blogs. I have already done it, out of necessity, at the other blogs I maintain. It is a little easier to format but is the same, except you have to have a gmail account. The downside is that the old name to login will be gone, and maybe the password will have to be changed too. As far as I know we have four people who post to the blog: Joe, Paul, Nancie, me, anyone else?

If you have tried to post and have trouble getting in, just sign in as usual, then you get to the nag screen where they try to sell you on New Blog, and there seems to be no way out, but there is!

Just type or copy in

http://www.blogger.com in the subject line, and you will see newtonhighlands in blue, which you then click on and proceed as if nothing happened. This works, at least for now, to delay what looks like an inevitable change. bc

Dennis somewhere in Bermuda

A more recent shot of Dennis Sullivan. Looks like he just walked off the golf course.

Dennis Sullivan

Remember Dennis? He had David Bowie albums in the late 60's and an impressive collection of what would later be called New Wave. Dennis taught me how to jump a fence at Weeks - a valuable skill. Here he is in the NSHS yearbook picture. bc

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WILL .

Does anyone know where Ellen Is?

More pictures please!

Stop procrastinating and find those pictures and post them. You know who you are - the one with the box in the attic.

Google has now started crawling over this blog which has resulted in some new visitors who we know who just happened to stumble across this. Welcome and please dig out the pictures! Of course, old pictures from NSH won't be as pointed as these, but they would have been if certain ladies we know had access to the internet then. Here's your chance to make up for it.

Scan them in and I will post them. Large files are OK!! bob at soundwaveresearch.com is one place to send them.

Merry Christmas from Dave McClelland

site update: Number of posts on home page now set at 20 for faster download. I'll try to put a "next page" link on the footer if I can figure out how. In the meantime use the Archives link on the right.

Stove School

I teach stove school twice a year to about 30 people. This is class 17 which we had this November.

Native American Heritage Month

I am always delighted to find a picture or quote of Martha in my morning paper. Her comments and images appear fairly frequently because, many of you may know, she is deeply involved in local cultural and environmental groups. This photo accompanied a piece in last Friday's Florida Today on a celebration for Native American Heritage Month (she is addressing the Cocoa City Council). Thought it a fitting, inspiring post for the holiday. --Joe
