Message: I remember being "stoked" over something that was truly "groovy"; my yearbooks are emblazoned over and over with phrases like "have a bitchen summer", things were often "neat" and cute boys were known as "foxes". And while we promised to "keep in touch" our lives moved on and we often lost that touch we planned to keep. Through the wonder of Cougartown, we have discovered it is not too late to keep that promise and that we can make up for lost time by finding each other again and even if our reunions are brief, they are all good. And as regards the current HHS Football Program, it has been bleak but I am reminded of an old saying: "Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent." I'M STILL going to root for the team - they may not be currently winning, but for ALL of those athletes, there is the experience of being part of a team, camaraderie, individual successes and character building. Let's not forget that it is the personal experience and growth of their participation that lasts, not just wins and losses. (I point to the positive influence of and the continued and deep affection we all have for our coaches and educators). GO COUGARS!! Now - HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!
Well said Sue, thanks for "being true to your school".

Who remembers all the great basketball lunchtime pick up games on court 1 and playing soccer, flag football, basketball and softball against other PE squads and classrooms? We had real physical activity everyday at school. Any wonder there's a correlation between today's kids' lack of exercise at school and the rising obesity issue? Does anyone know what happened to Mr. Sweeney? Also, what was the name of the girls PE teacher?
Mr. Sweeney was there in 58-59 when I was doing the pickup games with Bob Gross, Richard Boureston and many others. He was a pretty good guy, all around. The girls' PE teacher, back then, was Mrs. Meriweather.

Message: Message to "Ducks" Hood: Three teams still viable for the Rose Bowl:1. Arizona has to win three games to win outright Pac 10 championship and go Roses 2. Oregon has tough road game at Arizona to win before coming home to face the tenacious Beavers. Two wins needed to get to Roses 3. Stanford plays one last Pac 10 game at home against Cal without Jahvid Best in the lineup. After two 50+ point wins over the Ducks and Trojans, the SU offense is primed to take on a Bill Belichick coached Patriots or even the lucky Indy Colts. Only one win needed if AZ and OU fail to close-out season with 3 and 2 straight victories. Final game is against a weak Notre Dame at home, so Stanford likely to end up 9 and 3 and will slide into the top slot faster than a Toby Gehart power blast into the end zone. Sorry Hoody, we will hold a place in the Emerald Bowl for the mighty ducks. Stanford's wins over OU and SC are most impressive Pac 10 accomplishments this year by far and I cant get the images of the Boise State romp out of my mind yet...

Message: Step back non believers!! Here is hoping I don't bore you all with this story. I have been away from CT a few years. I don't normally believe in this sort of thing happening but when it happens to you it makes a difference. I woke early this am & couldn't get back to sleep. For some unknown reason I began thinking about HHS & CT. All the people, both the ones from my past & the new ones I got to know a few years back through CT. I thought I should really post a note to say I was still above ground. I got up & turned on the computer & was blown away to find an E-mail from JB asking if I was OK & what was going on? So here is my story, a little over 3 years ago I lost my life long friend & Cougar Terry Leeper. I had known Terry since he was a year old & I think we were closer throughout our life than some brothers. He was always with me throughout my school years & we kept in constant contact all our lives. Whether working on cars, motorcycles, camping or whatever? We supported each other through all lifes ups & downs. After Terry passed away, I for some reason detached from my beloved 56 Nomad & all things connected with Hawthorne. Stopped driving the Nomad & sold it shortly there after. I also lost another close friend & Cougar Louie Marotta a couple years before Terry. Both younger than I & kids to me so a little hard for me to understand. I apologize if this sounds like poor me as that is not my intent. I want to again thank JB for reading my message at Terry's memorial get together at the VFW. My connection with CT & the people here helped me get through a few tough years in my life. I know it's said a lot but we all owe John Baker so much for making it all possible. In my opinion we have something very unusual in our connection with HHS & Hawthorne. I have never seen anything, anywhere to compare. I plan on connecting with CT more in the future. I am back involved in off road motorcycling & getting ready for the 500 mile 2 day Barstow to Vegas ride Thanksgiving weekend. TB from AZ 928-227-0578 Thanks again John for rattling my cage through both ESP & E-mail
Hey Tom, Great to have you back on the Feedback page. I've been thinking much about people who've been here in the past and for some reason, moved on. You popped into my mind about a week ago. So much for that ESP connection.....it's great to know you're still out there Tom. Have a great Barstow to Vegas run and pop in here from time to time. Now where's Baxter Dodd and Frank Romano?
