Article #72
April 2010
“Remember?”
Classmates,
Well, here we go with April and all that it brings us. Just to mention a
few things that our fourth month offers us: April Fool’s Day, Spring
Break, Easter, Income Tax Day, just to mention a few. The newsletter this
month is going to zero in one - April Fools. Not only will we have a
video on our two favorite topics for the last couple of months: Airplanes
and Animals. We are also going to have a special section to check our
memories and recall. At our ages they tell us it is in our best
interests to keep the synapses firing so we don’t start forgetting things
any faster, than we already do. So, with that in mind, we are going to
strengthen our brains with a fun exercise called “what movie had that line
in it?” Pege and I worked on this one and had a great time bringing back
many memories; but, we also felt “Foolish” when we couldn’t get the
answer from our brain to the tip of our tongues. I hope you have a good
time at the movies. Now let’s get started with Article #72, “Remember?”
Talk to you after the April Showers and Wind.
“But it’s in the desert where lots of the town’s problems are solved.”
Casino, 1995, Robert De Niro.
Good Luck,

“Remember these Classic Movie Lines?”
Contributed by Bob and Pege
Graham
OK Classmates, below you will
see 55 famous movie lines; plus, one bonus quote at the end. If that is
too easy you can then name the actor, character name he or she played, and
finally the year of the movie. Believe me, I was challenged enough with
the movie...but, I know many of you will have your competitive juices
flowing and brains smoking with all the answers. And speaking of answers,
they (movie, star, character name, and year it was released) will all be
in next month’s newsletter. Ready? Set? Let’s Go!
