| The following email was posted to Carol Buckley Harty's Newport News HS Class of 1965 Web Page on 2//25/02: |
| My name is (Frederick) Craig Eubank (NNHS
'64), and I grew up on Decater Street (originally Oak Lane) in Betsy Lee
Gardens. I went to Briarfield ES from 1952 to 1959. My teachers at Briarfield
(by grade) are listed below: Grade 1: Gatling,
Grade 2: Foley, Grade 3: Turkel, Grade 4: Edwards, Grade 5: Hammer, Grade
6: Woodward, and Grade 7: Robinson. Of
course they were all female. Also, from Decatur St. and Briarfield Alumni: Clarence (Clyde) Point--My age but may have graduated with the NNHS class of '65. Wesley Staude--Family moved to Hot Springs, NC, in 1962. Judy Mawyer--NNHS '64 and married Don London, also NNHS '64, but not a Briarfield grad. Brenda Poole--NNHS '62. Last I heard Brenda lived in West Palm Beach, FL. Janice Poole--NNHS '65 or '66. Still living in NN, I think. Ken Taylor--NNHS '65. Went to VA Tech and became a HS Teacher in Hampton. Had older brother, Danny, from Briarfield who went to Warwick HS before the City of NN annexed Warwick Co. in 1959 which sent us to NNHS. Nancy Soesbee--NNHS '65 I think--also brother Nathan, and older sister Carol ('62). Don't know how many of them went to Briarfield. Nancy and Nathan were younger than me. Vicky Neal--Believe Vicky was NNHS '64. She had older brother E.A. Neal. Dianne Adams--NNHS '65. She had a younger brother, ? name. Brenda Woolard--NNHS '65. Her family moved away in early 60's. Expanding out from Decatur, but staying in Betsy Lee, were Bill Barnard, Greg Hill and Sheila Smith. Those are all the Briarfield alumni I knew, or can remember, from Betsy Lee Gardens. I knew a few from Briarfield Manor, now the site of Heritage HS. They included Jimmy Faircloth, Allen Jenkins, Danny Foster, Charles Anderson, John Strickland, Ricky Miller, Donnie Tyndall, Ann Marlowe, Ruby Moses, Betty Cooper, Alan Nesbitt, Wayne Frizzele, Ronnie Luther, among others I have yet to remember. The list could go on to other neighborhoods, such as Sussex Hilton--the area where Sue Miller, Barry and David Hatchett, Billy Roberts, Keith Pennell, Tom Oxner, Bobby Lamb, and Neil Vickers lived, and along Briarfield Rd. going toward Chestnut Ave, including Joe Wingo, Ed Springfield, Jimmy Lamb, Charles Embler, Van Rowell, all of whom went to Briarfield. That's it for now. Hope this jogs some memories |
