Great Video!  I married Charlie Brooks 1 yr after we graduated, almost 55 yrs ago now. Moved to Ohio in 2013 to be closer to grown children.  Missed the last reunion, but greatly appreciate all the hard work the reunion committee has done to keep everyone connected.   

thanks so much for posting the 55th reunion pictures.  I loved reliving that weekend.  It was such fun.  We missed seeing many of you but maybe we will see you at the 60th.  A big thank you to all who made it possible.   I appreciate your efforts.  Even though it was a smaller gathering, I would rank this as one of the best.  Hugs to you all and come see me in Florida.             Frances

Thanks for sharing the video.  Sorry I did not attend reunion.

       This a great web site!  Enjoyed the class reunion and being with friends .

Sorry I could not attend the 50th. I will try for the next one. This website is outstanding and brings back many memories of events and old friends.

What a nice after the reunion info email. Thanks for all the work you have done and are still doing.  I have pictures to send - one great one of you dancing.  As soon as I can get Paige to delete some that are not of interest. Thanks again.

Margaret, great letter about the reunion and the scholarship fund.  Thanks again for all your energetic efforts to get classmates' addresses and emails---YOU are FANTASTIC!!!!!     Have a great week.

Margaret, I agree it was a great reunion.  Bill and I appreciate all the hard work each of you put into it. Bill purchased the DVD the night of the reunion.  Do you have any idea when they will be ready?  We are looking forward to sharing it with Harry Wilkinson and Ray Nelson when we see them.  There were so many things on the DVD that bring back memories of the old Norview, regardless of the graduating class! Thanks again for all your hard work.  

First of all THANKS, Mike for setting up all the email addresses. Secondly, Thank you REUNION COMMITTEE for all your hard work for the 50th reunion. This was my first reunion and if I’d have know it was going to be this GREAT, I probably would have come to earlier ones.   I never thought I could have made more lasting memories at my age but I sure did. It was such a good feeling to see so many friends from years past. And everyone looked so good. Must have been something in the water in Norfolk that keep us all so healthy and good looking. I know I didn’t have a chance to talk to everyone there but did visit with a lot of friends. THANK YOU  to everyone who came and made this such a GREAT experience for me.   Well, Mike, I guess I owe you a cigar.

Wow Mike what a storm of wonderful comments you started. I have never been so happy to serve on a committee. E comments are so personal and sincere and we are going to post them on the web site next week. The world needs to know "63 CAN put on a party". Can't wait for the next one.

Good - as it should be!

Mike. . .your comments are right on!  I've loved reading the great responses. . .and what an amazing experience to see classmates after 50 years and pick up where we left off!  I'm with you. . .here's to the 51st!   I must mention that Jerry Collier and Margaret Cross deserve an incredible amount of credit for the success of the 50th.  Jerry is a leader. . .he kept us on track by providing weekend planning sessions (at their beach homes) and regular dinner meetings at his restaurant, Freemason Abbey. . .food on the house.  In other words, he bribed us. . .ha. . .   And Margaret. . .she is amazing. . .countless hours on keeping the classmate information updated and working on the rsvp list and reunion book!   Hats off to everyone who made the effort to attend. . .I hope we will see each other again before too long . .

It was a great reunion & thanks for all the hard work from the Reunion Committee to ensure that everything would be so nice for us. (And Beth for handling all those pictures during the entire night - what a job, but what great memories they will bring.)  We, (yes Henry, too) really enjoyed ourselves & were happy to see & briefly be with our former classmates and friends under such nice circumstances.   Thanks again Reunion Committee!   PS - Mike. you're still as cute as I thought you were at Crossroads Elementary!

My thank you to all....I knew when I stood between Jerry Collier (Nr 19) and David Mutter (Nr 63) for the group photo, that IT was gonna be one hell of a reunion. While I had brief conversations with lots of our classmates, spouses, and guests, I wish I could have spoken with more. I did make it a point to converse with a few I missed at the 45th reunion. I truly regret that more of our classmates who live as close as Richmond and closer yet could not have made it. I will continue to think of many of them, with hopes they are all well and prospering. Thanks to all who traveled so far for allowing me the pleasure of your company. I'm sure many more will add their thanks to the many of you who made the effort on our collective experience this reunion so splendid.

Believe it or not, the following was sent yesterday at 2:50 PM from my cell phone, but I noticed that it had not gone out yet:   I also wish to echo the sentiments of everyone on the great reunion we experienced.  That was a nice touch to have that fire drill for one more attempt to get everyone together before our farewell breakfast.  Looking forward to the next one.  Sorry you haven’t received it until now.

I am a little slow at getting on board to congratulate and thank all of you that were involved in our very special 50th reunion. You all did an exceptional job at location, food, decorations, content, pictures and pacing, not to mention all the behind the scenes work at locating and connecting all of our classmates. It is amazing how 50 years can melt away and stimulate the memories of our special years together at Norview. Thank you for a memorable event. I look forward to seeing you all again...sooner rather than later!!

Thank you for the wonderful 50th Norview Reunion.  It was wonderful seeing friends again.  The every year suggestion for a reunion is great.  Most of all thank you for being friends for a lifetime.

Hope all had a marvelous time.  Would have loved to see everyone.

This is a wonderful site.  All the best for a super weekend. Looking forward to visiting w/ my Roosevelt neighbor DENNIS CREED.   Y'all have a ball !!!!

Thanks for the  Web Site and all you do for our 50th Reunion. Looking forward to seeing  everyone.

I am retired from The Doll House.  I owned and operated in Kilmarnock Virginia.  I am looking forward to this reunion.  It has been so long since I seen the old school and classmates.

I have been extremely fortunate to live out my dreams!   I lived out my materialistic, rather shallow dreams that "THINGS" would make my life complete! I married two of the most wonderful beautiful bright women I have ever met - no children...got both jobs with the U.S. Government and  retired as GS-15". I came to my senses in 1981 about "Things". The Kingsmill home I designed,  living next door to Anheiser Bush jr. - great guy. Mercedes, boat, plane and antique cars. on and on. I was offered many postions in Washington  D.C. but spent so much time  there I grew to find it so" Political" and I am NOT political when practicing my  profession as an architect....never~   In  the six years at Kingsmill with Debbie, my second wife, we had a wonderful life and many fantastic adventures.   Debbie  and I  grew apart  and she received a big promoyion and moved to WASHINGTON  D.C. She now has three sons in College and younger daughter in high school. with a fantasic husband and beautiful home in  Alexandria, VA.   After it became common knoeledge I was moving, numerous friends had many great suggestions,  but my first choice was absolutely London. I lived and worked there for NATO for a year when I was about 24 yers old and single. Great city, great times! I tried to move there  but could not deal with the tax struture.   So I applied to every architectural firm in SAn francisco "  A city that  is as " Charming as America gets"! I received three job offers and went there to interview them. I took on an extremely difficult and challenging position at the NARF. I organized the first Engineering department there, ever. !80 Engeeers didn't have a clue of what the other Engineers were involved in. I had two Ph. D. computer scientists working with me...this is 1981...computers have a lot more to offer today, of course.   Shortly there after (4 mo,)  the Staff Director of Civil Engineering fot Tresure Island  was retireing. I took him to lunch and was offered his position.   Remenber 1981 Carter was Presidenr a 30yr fixed mortgage was 23% and I was selling my Kingsmill home and socially learning my place, whice of course was in the heart of San Francisco ....Pacight Heights! I bought a three unit condo that was built in 1979...very minimalistic. I substantially inproved the building to my Architectural standards. The rent is quite nice. One parking space is $500.00 a month.   After 6 years of running Treasure Island, and with my contacts in Washington D.C. we received more funding my first year than the previous eight years . Reagan was in Office and Departmen Of Defense was his favorite place to spend money. I made certain we received our share.   Then I attended a joint meeting to address the discovery and elimination of PCB's with numerous municipalities, including the city of San Francisco and G.S.A. Much to my shallow amazment, I never thought about who manages all of the U.S. Govervment buildings outside of the Department of Defense and the US Post Office. So I Immediately started networking with G.S.A. management and was offered the position of Building Manger at 450 Golden Gate St., one square block and twenty stories high - the largest federal building West of the Mississippi at 1,000,000sqft.   Shortly there after I discovered that the previous three Building Managers were removed from their positions for the mere fact that no one would face up to the fact that the building was saturated with aspestos. The entire building was contaminated with aspestos. I immediately contracted two Industrial Hygenuists to work with me on writing the first safe standardized way to remove and dispose of aspostos safely and completely. After that, I was offered an extremely unique position working directly for the presidential apointee and director of the San Francisco G.S.A.   After that I essentially retired from management to work alone on "very special and sensitive issues" with two gifted interns, a governmewnt car and a cell phone. My job was working about six hours a week, getting paid for forty hours per week, I am on call 24/7 to deal with very sensitive  and top secret issues, such as designing the first TSA security checkpoint, which can even detect an ounce or more of 420/marijuana, which of course San Francisco could care less about, along with prostitution and gambling.   I retired in 1996 at 50 years old. Since then, I have traveled to 67 ctountries, have apartments in New York and Paris where I teach Fine Arts Photography at the national french academy of Fine Arts. On my first trip to Paris alone (without a wife or a girlfriend), I was so taken by the people and architecture that I stayed for six weeks, absorbing any and all of the Parisian culture. Upon returning home, I immersed myself in Fine Arts Photography (8" x 10" film - view camera).   After fifteen years of immersing myself in fine arts photography, I retained an arts agent and arranged to auction off my entire portfolio, representing fifteen years of photography totaling 63 fine arts photographs with notorized statments on the backs of the frames, stating that the negative has been burned. I am a romanticist and purist. I have NEVER been involved with commercial photography, although I worked one summer in Paris with Avedon. The two night auction afforded the school two lifetime/fulltime scholarships representing just shy of half of a million dollars. Photography was invented in Paris in 1790 and the certification/validation of the Parisians purchasing my fine arts photography validated me enough to no longer be involved, however, I still teach Fine Arts Photography at the National French Fine Arts Academy.   Since then, I have primarily been involved with spinal pain and after eleven years of epidermal injections with an eleven inch needle in my back, I and Sean, the director of the spinal center at UCSF decided that it was time to operate. Our intention was to fuse L2 to L3 vertabrae - a two hour operation. It ended up fusing L1-L5, my entire lombard and turned into an eight hour marathon.   The recovery time was far beyond my expectations. I was basically in bed for eighteen months until three months ago, I stopped any pain or otherwise spinal medication.   I am now in better shape than I have been in in years without taking any prescribed pain medications.   Now, at 68, for the first time in forty years, I am looking for a true partner and companion to share the most wonderful life I've ever experienced.   Thanks for tolerating and enduring reading this profile. My weaker subject has always been english.   See you at the reunion for sure. I am coming to Virginia with an open-end return ticket to visit my many friends and relatives residing in Hampton Roads area. At the moment, I am having an ex-intern in Silicon Valley install a chip in my cell phone, which will enable me to call anywhere in the world for as long as I'd like for free.   P.S. I sign my architectural drawings and fine arts photography as Chandler, the name that I proudly prefer over Vernon. Everyone in San Francisco knows me as Chandler, but of course you are free to address me as Vernon. I am fondly looking forward to sharing the many wonderful memories at Norview High School. I look forward to meeting all of you and hearing what you've been up to.

When is the dead to send for bio.?   Chandler  (415) 921-7322   San Francisco

Just recent decision to attend on Saturday as family only lived in Norfolk during the time I attended Norview - but remember the names/our faces back then.  Plus, guess we can do it for those no longer here.  See you there......

Hi All and greetings from sunny California....We (Jim and I) will not be able to attend but I send all my thoughts to you....50 yrs!

Web site is awesome!  Looking forward to seeing classmates in October!

I can't believe 50 years has passed........It's seams like yesterday we were  roaming the halls, chatting with friends and of course going from one class to another.  Looking forward to seeing everyone. 

I am realy excited to be coming to our 50th reunion.  I 'd be surprised if  anyone will remember me, as I was not in the popular crowd.  I will be attending with my wife of 47 years.  See you all soon!

Nice job on the website. We weren't expecting to make this reunion either but have decided to make a trip back to Virginia.  Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Cannot wait to see everyone and catch up on all the happenings!

Really enjoyed this web page...weel done%u263A

Can't imagine anyone remembering me!

Waiting to celebrate my birthday at the 50th reunion.  

What a great website!!!    You all are the best!  I plan to attend the reunion and will send  a check for tickets soon.  Also I will send check for the scholarship fund.    I miss being a part of the planning for the reunion but life in Florida is good.  We both stay very busy.  Looking forward to catching up  with you all soon.

What a professional website! Thanks for all the work that goes into the reunion. I am looking forward to seeing many friends from the past.

Thank you for the invitation to the reunion. I plan to attend. It will be fun getting back in touch with old friends. 

I can't believe it has been 50 years.  I just got back from Italy visiting with my daughter Stephanie Hayes and granddaughter Samantha Boyd who was studying in Italy for her 2nd semester at JMU.  

Hello everyone...

Looking forward to coming back to Norfolk, Va. Havent been back there in 30 years.

My wife, Jeanie and I are looking forward to hanging with a bunch of old folks and colleagues from my past. She won't know anyone and I'm afraid I won't remember anyone, but isn't that just a normal day for people our age?   Wishing you happiness, health and prosperity – see you in October.   Tim   PS: The website is great

Wonderful website...thanks, great way to use technology to connect former classmates. The memorials are helpful.

So glad to see this nice website, good way to get in touch with others!  50 years! WOW!!  

What a great website.  I hope all of the classmates will update their profile.  What a great way to keep in touch.

I am also am very impressed with the web-site.  It will be nice to check on our class mates from time to time. I am enjoying our girl lunches at Bubba\'s and we really had a nice time this past Sat. at Founders Inn thanks to Mary Bell and Beth. It seems hardly possible that we will be celebrating our "50th" next Oct.

What a gorgeous website!  Thank you, Nathalie!  I am soooo excited about our 50th - looking forward to seeing everyone!

Great website.  Looking forward to seeing you in October 2013.

I am looking forward  to attending the reunion
