Thank you Mr. Newsom
Apr 7 2008, 6:38 PM EDT Although I never had the pleasure of having been taught by him, I knew him for years .He was married to my second cousin Geraldine Newton,Newsom .My clearest memories of him were that he always had a smile on his face ,and that ever present chuckle .His son Kieth was about my age & we were even at Ft. Knox Ky.in the Army at the same time .Keith like his Father and brother & brother Roger ,had heart trouble and died in1979 .Geraldine passed away in 2007 at age of 97 .Stanley died one day before my own father in 1975 ,and we couldn`t even attend the funeral .Of course his son Roger ,and Daughter Jeannine Greuey,and some grand -children ,still live in Morgan Co. Bernie 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Thank you Mr. Newsom
Apr 7 2008, 8:00 PM EDT It made my day to read that you not only knew Mr. Newsom but were related to him! I have always thought so highly of him ... and occasionally stayed in touch when I visited Ohio. And yes, that smile and chuckle -- nearly always present in the classroom - even when a couple of the more mischevious boys were misbehaving! He certainly appeared to like kids a lot and enjoy our antics - and kept that twinkle in his eye. I have another story about him - will post it when I have time in a few days. I was in HS with Roger and Susan (Croy) -- I admired Susan so much as I recall her mother was ill and passed on with cancer when Susan was perhaps a junior... And Roger - well! he was so nice and so good looking! I think many younger girls had a crush on him. You mentioned that Roger also had heart disease? Wondering if you know how he and Susan are doing? Do you find this valuable? |
