Message: Been very busy lately, but had some free time this morning. Keith I sent you an email about Essen Germany. By the way John, when I was there, I persuaded a German fellow, playing an accordian for money on the sidewalk, to let me play his accordian. Yes, I played the Beer Barrel Polka in Germany. I have a tape to prove it! What a rush! Missed everyone at the cruise night, but I was purchasing my new toy (1931 Model A coupe W/rumble seat). I'll have to bring it in August for the next cruise night. Maybe John Crotty and I could have a drag race in front of Fosters. Of course I would have to spot him a car length or 2. LOL

Message: Hey John, we?re all here in our places with bright shining faces! I for one am getting ready for a Cougar sighting at 5413 W. 123rd Place. Kathy Ball ?71? will be in town at her parent?s old house this weekend. Planning a quick visit and then off to pick up Pam Fees ?71? to spend the day in Belmont Shores for a day of shopping, lunching and wine tasting. If there are any Cougars close by to 5413 stop by. I will be there around 10:00 a.m. this Saturday. Hey Jan Chauncey Norton, you are just down the street. Stick your head out the front door if you?re around.

Message: Back in '62 we were out of high school. Most of us guys were trying to figure out what we were going to do for the rest of our lives, that is, except for me. I found an old 1928 Model-A, five window coupe shell and frame for cheep and was going to build it into the fastest street machine on Hawthorne Blvd. I set it up on saw horses in Alan Hauge's back vacant lot which was behind his back yard. Remember, in those days, you could buy an old Ford or Chevy for $2-$300., go to a wrecking yard and find your choice of a big V8 engine, take it home and in two or three weeks, you and your buddies would have it going down Hawthorne to the A&W for a 5 cent root beer. I guess all good things must come to an end. Off I went into the Navy when it became clear that times were changing and so was I. Not many comments anymore about those times. Best regards, Jim

Message: Sharon Leach mused that it must've been a government office that had a thing about Internet access. Actually, private corporations can be just as or more anal about Internet access. I worked for one company who basically turned the whole company upside down investigating who was going on-line. Even the owner's executive secretary got axed for this. The boss told her if she had no work to do to just read a magazine. She thought, "What's the difference?" if she read a magazine or a website. She found out. Several other people were fired and some received a write-up in their personnel file.

Message: I never heard of Morris Buttermaker until today. I get a text message from my brudder asking how Morris is, the Young brothers call me on their cells from their Washington DC seminar they are conducting, "Engineering Criteria: How to avoid another Katrina," saying they loved the Bad News Bears best, and... so I never saw the movie, ever! I get home and look at Cougartown and I am getting hacked for some comment that was made by Morris whatever about his company's google practices. John if you don't want me to write into Cougartown just say so. I have no idea what all the fuss is about!!!!

Message: OK, to close this most recent hornet's nest of misinformation, Morris Buttermaker was the coach (played by Walter Matthau) in the movie "The Bad News Bears". Look closely at the little picture next to Morris' post. And don't shut Sloey out, he actually causes many to giggle - it's just all in fun. But I AM impressed by the many who rally to protest John Baker and CT. God, this is a great place.... : ))

Message: Hi Sharon, you don't know me but I feel the same way you do regarding the person or whatever that Buttermark reference is. Ever since I found this wonderful site that John Baker has made possible it has literally transported me back in time to experience when life as we knew it was simple, innocent and where one could just live their life but that feedback comment of his, not John's, reminded me how far away from the 60's we really are!!! Take care. John I'd like to send my payment, where can I send that? Thanks again for this great site........Madeline

Message: Yeah Steve, I remember the fences with the ads. Very reto by todays standards. I also remember the dugouts, they were really dugouts, they were eye level and you could really talk trash, well trash from 9 to 12 year olds. I also remember after my 10 year old year the took the fields out and replaced them with your every day fields like at Weisburn. To bad they were cool. The burgers were good, but like most people I went for the chili cup, warm and good. May the Opto be with you all. Dan if you live in Del Aire you also live near L.A. Lennox, Ingelwood and El Segundo, all within what two blocks each way. Take care Cougs, - peace out-

Message: Snark Field was the best. I played on the '64 Tigers, Bob Klein was the manager. Next year I was up in the Majors on the Yankees with Chuck Smith and Phil Powers as coaches. Lots of HHS alumni on this team. Dan Smith, Tim Powers, Don McKinley, Ritchie Hood, Randy Scopacasa, Mike Kemp... Also on this team was Bob Hurley, Owner of present day Hurley International Surf Wear. Bob and I have remained friends since that year, '65. He helps with the golf shirts for the Cougar Classic. My first year playing at Snark was with the Green fences and upstairs press boxes. Then the next year the city remodeled the fields. Dean Morris, did you know a fellow Stanford Baseball player Vic Gordon? He's the Pastor at our church. You right about how the coaching has changed since we played back in the day. Managers taught the basic fundamentals, smoked in the dugout, drank after the games, and we learned about baseball the right way and some kids who tried out were cut and didn't play. No big deal. Now look!! Where's my chew?

Message: In yesterday's LA Times, there is an article on Flynn "Instant Point" Robinson who was a reserve on the 71-72 Lakers team that won 33 in row. (The article says Chick Hearn called him "Instant Offense" but I recall Chick calling him "Instant Point"). Anyway, the article also says ""The streak means that when I go to the Y, they say, 'Flynn Robinson played on that Laker team that won 33 in a row,' " says Robinson, who lives near Hawthorne and plays at the Westchester YMCA. "" My guess is that someone who lives "near Hawthorne" would live in Del Aire.
