Message: Chuck Connors played for the real Los Angeles Angels back in the 1950's. I saw him play at Wrigley Field many times. Wrigley field was over on Avalon Blvd. At the time the L.A. Angels were one of the farm clubs for the Chicago Cubs.

Message: Cougar siting -- on Friday the 13th (March), Brian Bourguignon totally surprised me by driving up from San Diego to catch Which One's Pink? at the House of Blues, Anaheim. He's also coming to the W1P show at the HOB San Diego this Saturday and I got an email from Russ Painter who said he might be coming as well. Then I found Mitch Boley on Facebook and he lives in San Diego so who knows? "Cruise Night" San Diego?

Message: Car talk is good ....Best car I ever owned was a 67 Mustang that I got in 69. Previous owner had tried to make it look like Eleanor. It had bigger tires on the back than the front. When I was visiting my grandparents in a small (350 pop.) town in Wisconsin, I took it into the Ford dealer to get the oil changed and they did a complimentary tire rotation without asking. When I picked it up, I was talking with the owner and didn't look carefully at the car. First left and I was back getting the tires put where they belonged.

Message: We enjoyed Green Farms BBQ almost every Sunday dinner for many, many years! Those were the days mom prepared 20 meals a week for a family of seven. For the 21st meal, dad would always be in charge taking us to the McDonalds a few miles away on El Segundo and ?, close to the 110 fwy, or to Shakees to hear the rag time piano player and fill up on some Canadian Bacon Pizza with mojo potatoes, or more often than not to pick up a Green Farms BBQ chicken with extra BBQ sauce. My mom and dad still live in the same house they bought in 1952 for $9,000. I think my mom's current dentist is where Green Farms use to be.

Message: Hi John. Speaking of BB-Q restaurants lets not forget Green Farms BB-Q, on the corner of Hawthorne Blvd. & 132nd street, next door to Moore's Jewelers (no relation to me). The owner's name was Sid Schwartz. Sid was a classic, one could write a TV Sit-com about him. His manager, and later co-owner Gino was great fun. Lots of HHS guys worked there: Me, Paul Clark I think, maybe Woody McCain and no doubt many, many others. Cougartown always takes me right back to that place in memory..Hawthorne in the 60's surfing our South Bay Beaches, cruising Haw. Blvd in Jim Parchen's awesome 1966 Chevy 396, The Drop in, and Memorial Center Dances. Thanks John. Randy Moore, class of 1967

Message: Cougar Sighting, As we were waiting for a concert to begin I said to my friend, Bill Shultz '63, I think that person went to HHS, but from a distance I wasn't sure. Then when they sat down in front of us he asked her, and so I said, you're Shirley Roy!'62. She was so surprised and happy to see us. She said that her friend was also an alumni, Carol Mullen '63. We had a nice chat after and took pictures with my camera phone, but they didn't come out very clear. We exchanged numbers and have kept in touch. We actually saw them again when we attended the Leslie Gore concert.

Message: The Eucalyptus Park pictures brought back a lot of memories. I can blame the carom games for leading to many wasted hours in seedy bars, shooting numbered balls around on a felt covered slate table. And let's not forget the cement turtles that we'd dig under and then try to suffocate ourselves by closing in all the openings with sand. It's surprising we didn't suffer brain damage from the lack of oxygen. . . . . But now that I think about it??????

Message: After a recent cross country trip from FLORIDA to So-Cal & back, the idea of open roads here in America seem to offer more to me than ever before- if you get a chance watch TCM look for Two Lane Blacktop. It is the best film to capture the iconic early 70's "hot rod" era. Besides featuring James Taylor, it also showcases a brilliant young (Cougar) Dennis Wilson, If you have never seen TWO LANE BLACKTOP then WATCH IT! If you can find a DVD or VHS copy Buy IT! This is one of the rarest films to ever have a Beach Boy in the main cast! GO here

Message: My family and I are wondering if anyone knows the name of the dry cleaner owner who ran the business Imperial Hwy right before Hawthorne Blvd. He is memorable because he was a very nice man but also because he had bulgy eyes that were bloodshot and a very gravelly voice. We would go there with our dad (the older three of us) and chat with him while we turned in our clothing items. It was in the 1950's. I don't remember the name of the cleaners but I would remember his name if I heard it.
