I wanted to let you know there has recently been new important information added to the WLH Family Newsletter Website: www.wlhnewsletter.com. I hope you will take a look and recommend the site to other family members to visit the site from time to time.

In case you’ve forgotten your password or need help getting back on the Website, here are a few things we would like to remind you of:

1. We can provide you with your username and the email address you used upon registration. However, we don’t have access to passwords.
2. We can register you as a new member on this end, but we need to know that’s what you want so if you were previously registered we can delete your old registration.
3. Important– there can be only one registration per email address. So make sure no one else in your household is registered using the same email address.
4. If you have forgotten your password you can click on (forgot password) and follow prompts. If you continue to have problems you may have to start over again using a new email address, username & password.
5. We suggest getting a free gmail account thru Google.com.
6. Since our Website is private we have to have your identifying info (full name, city, & how related) in order for you to be approved. Also it would be really nice if you would complete your Profile so we all can know your history. For directions on how to add that info, click on the *attached How to edit file.
7. Your registration is complete once you get on site. It’s best to devote the time to get on; in other words when you start the process and you’re approved, do not delay completion until the following week. Make sure to keep a record of your exact registration info—lower case lettering, etc.
8. If you are having a problem, please call or email me to let me know because we won’t know unless you tell us.

We look forward to hearing from you and receiving your information, “Your News” to add to the Newsletter– Our Wilson Lake Herbert Family History.

NEWS FROM KYRA DENISE LYNN HERBERT

Aug 28

Posted by Mary Herbert in 2013 WLH Newsletter, Celebrations, Our Family History, Philadelphia, PA Chapter, WLH Youth On The Rise | No Comments

Kyra says she had a good school year. She got all A’s & B’s except one C in math -her favorite subject. For various reasons this term she had 7 different math teachers which she didn’t like. She is going into 8th grade at C. W. Henry School and is looking forward to graduating next June. She states she’s had a very active year in things such as: softball, dance, art classes and activities with her Girl Scout Troop where they raised money all year. One of the goals of her Troop is for each member and a guest to go on a 15 day trip to Italy next year. Kyra is looking forward to taking the trip with her Girl Scout Troop to Italy with her mother, Denise. This will be one of Kyra’s graduation gifts.

This summer Kyra attended the Moore College of Art in downtown Philadelphia which she enjoyed. Her grand mom was additionally proud and thankful that she was able to commute safely by public transportation to center city like a “smart young lady.” Kyra said she is looking into going to an ivy league boarding school for high school which she will present to her parents. The school has to specialize in math and the arts. She reports that she has learned to cook, can cook: pork loin steaks, mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts as well as a few other things. She is very happy she finally got braces a few weeks ago.

And finally, her cat who used to be a beautiful charcoal grey, is now a beautiful coal black. He is lots of fun! Sometimes when they have trouble finding him around the house- he can be found in his bin of food that he somehow opens, feasting! Lol

Photos below are of Kyra being recognized at the Fresh Artists Program at the School District of Philadelphia in June. Prints of the Paintings were auctioned off as a fund raiser for under-privileged children. She is shown standing next to her painting and with her mother, Denise Herbert.

Aug 27

Posted by Mary Herbert in 2013 WLH Newsletter, Accomplishments, Our Family History, Washington, DC Chapter, WLH Family in the Military | No Comments

Raymond J. Wilson, 1970

Raymond Wilson, Sr. enlisted in the United States Navy in January 1955 and retired on September 29^th 1974 after 20 years of Service. He retired as Chief Petty Officer (E7). He served during the Vietnam era in combat. For 4 years he was aboard the oldest Commissioned ship in the Military – the USS Old Iron Side Constitution. Raymond was the first African American ordered aboard that ship from June 1961 to June 1965 serving as a Personnel Officer during that time. There have apparently been no other African American Personnel Officers in that role since then. The ship is still in commission in Boston, MA

Raymond said he really enjoyed his time in the Navy with his wife and children. He had two tours of duty in Washington, D.C. and they traveled around the world, across the equator. He is now enjoying the benefits of his labor.
