We have a new (old) car in the family- 1993 Ruby Red Corvette (Mike FINALLY gets a toy!) and a new puppy. So please don't ever go away again because apparently when you do, the universe loses its mind! xoxoxo

Message: John welcome back. Little good news and bad news to you all that knew my mom, because of the brother or sister. We found out this week that she has lung cancer and it is in the final stages so the Doctors say please keep her in your prayers. Then both of my sons tell us that we are going to grandparents again. We think one each, great. Well last night my youngest son and his wife and two kids come over and break the news... twins (girls), so we have gone from three to six grandkids in one fine step. Have a good week all, Art

Message: So John were you really up north visiting or were you making a cameo appearance on the new TV series, Hawthorne? I had a Cougar sighting on Saturday at LAX. As I was walking through the metal detector the security guy noticed my Cougartown Tshirt. He asked if that was for Hawthorne High School. I said yes and that I was the class of 74. He replied he was the class of 2000. I told him to go to cougartown.com. I didn?t get his name. I thought about going over and asking him but thought I might be shot if I approached a security guard from behind. Later as I was exiting the plane I heard what is Cougartown.com? I explained that it was a website for HHS alumni. The person replied that they thought it was a site for hot older women. It's that too, I replied.

It was bittersweet leaving my job, and I don't think my life will feel different until Monday morning when I don't have to get up and go to work and know that I do not have to do it ever again. In two weeks I will be on my way to a new life, and newly built home in Coos Bay, Oregon. I will be living next door to my brother Robert DeWald, class of '66. No other neighbors, except my niece, no noise. Just life in a peaceful, beautiful forest.

The article talks about the big muscle cars of the past & the many songs written about them & what we will be driving in the future... The best line in the article...It's 2016. Imaging a Brian Wilson ever thinking to write. "And she'll have fun, fun, fun til her daddy takes her Prius away"... too funny! too sad!

Message: Dave?s passing is not only felt by his Hawthorne family, but by the many he befriended while living in Bandon by the Sea Oregon. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to reminisce and recall Dave?s gentle nature and somewhat subliminal humor with one of Bandon?s native sons. Dave traveled regularly to our annual Humbug campout and crab feed near Port Orford and it won?t be the same without him. The morning after such an event, with a double large stack piled in front of him, Dave brought the group to tears of laughter with a soft smile and the simple declaration, ?Ya Know, you just can?t get too many pancakes.? Rest in peace brother.

Message: Yes I am the same Jody that worked all (3) of Tom Wadman's bars. My favorite was the Block & Tackle for Pitcher Nite. I always called John Nix my little brother. His family lived one door from us on Sundale. When we were little you never saw just one of us, it was always the four of us, John, Judy, Jody & Charlie Quad Trouble. Great time was had by all Saturday at our 50 year reunion.
