Message: Hey Cougs, at the Signal Hill car show, put on by the Sultans Car Club, I sighted a fellow Cougar in the next row from where my car was sitting, his name was Bob Stevenson, we had a good chat and he was with a nice group, may have been Cougs? may be a ghost sighting.
Also met Tommy Johnson C/O 58, Glenda Morton/Wilson C/O 58, Jimmy Morton C/O 57, Terry Morton C/O 59, Bill Blocker LHS C/O 57, was all prearranged so no Cougar sighting. See everyone at Fosters on the 21st. Later Don

Message: Sighting, schmiting, I don't care WHAT you do or don't call it Baker Man, anytime ANY of us hooks up with another Cougar, it's ALL GOOD. And when I miss out on one, like the shindig a couple of weeks ago at Matt Peterson's, I feel like I've had a missed opportunity. I'm not sure just how and when the whole "Cougar Sighting" thing evolved, or when there were rules attached to it but, I hope any rules would never deter or diminish the fun and joy of any Cougar connection. For instance, it's ALWAYS wonderful when we get together with you, usually planned but you're always quite a "sighting" for sore eyes. XOXO : )) Carry on.
W e l l. . . . . . . . thank you

Message: I sighted two Cougars this past weekend. It would have been a Cougar-sighting but I invited Gloria and John Achrem so I knew that I would be sighting them. Ditto on the lunch a couple of weeks ago with Konnie and Sharon. Now I'm very curious as to whether I've had any Ghost Cougar sightings. I did run into Janice Dorman at Costco. Hey that's a Cougar sighting.
Hey Patty, If you have EVER run into a Cougar and not known it.....well then, there's yer GCS....EZ

Message: What if you see people and talk to people, but unknown to you their Cougars, does that count as a Cougar sighting?
Yes, that's what's known as a Ghost Cougar Sighting, but no one has ever reported one.

Message: Russ great to see Royal - Now that is a Cougar sighting- Good job taking an actual photo of the event- whether planned or spontaneous, it is nice to see the ?action?-I knew Royal?s Pappy Mr. Bill Lord , the purveyor of Nyman Hall. Bill Lord was the invisible glue that held together all the ?drama & stage productions? , as he ruled all the engineering duties back stage ? Mr. Fix spoke very highly of Bill Lord , and called him his ?right hand man? , ..?I couldn?t have done all those plays if it hadn?t been for Bill Lord..? ? to quote Danny Fix- Russ, tell Royal we said hello! ? ummm John ? my eyes are getting really bad- the ?Birthday Scroll? at the top of the page is completely way too tiny- can you pop it up one pica or two??? I mean really is this the DMV ? ?Now cover your left eye?
Hi Neil, Yes I will do that. Good to get feedback as they do not show up the same on all browsers.

Message: John, you are really tough on those Cougar sightings. I really don't understand why you said that it wasn't a chance meeting for Bob Stevenson and Don Burns. As far as I could tell from the posting, these two people hadn't arranged to meet at the car show. He even said that it was nice meeting Don at the end of his post. Don't you think you should lighten up a little on these Cougar sighting things? It's your call, but I wouldn't have hesitated in calling that a Cougar sighting. Guess I need to get a life if this is all I have to say. Anyway, a good summer to all Hawthorne alumni! Jim Peppers
Hey Jim, I will try to explain. Bob ask the masses, here, if anyone was going to the Signal Hill Car Show. Don answered with Yes, I am going to be there in my 58 Chev. so it appeared to me, NOT a chance meeting. Cougar sightings are "random" sightings. If it's a Reunion; not a sighting. If it's a gathering for a Cougar lunch or party; not a sighting, because you know there'll be Cougars there. It's when you run into someone in Walmart or when you've worked with, or have known someone for maybe years, and didn't know they were a Cougar too....that is a Cougar Sighting. If you went to a Brian Wilson concert it wouldn't be a Cougar Sighting, but if you accidentally ran into Brian at the car wash....you get the picture. Thanks for asking and hope this clears up the sighting thing.

Message: Jim Fox! I am grieved to here about Charlie. Although I haven't seen him in years, I know from the past that he was one very special person. Humor, love and respect, are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Charlie. He was always under the radar with a quick wit and a smile. God must have a plan for him in heaven, as we that remain here will always have the memories. Wayne

Looks like "The gang was all there" all right. Great picture Russ, and nice to see Royal's knee is working good again. Thanks much...

Message: John et al... It was a year ago that I reported that my brother, Charlie (HHS 1969), was diagnosed with cancer. Charlie fought the disease gallantly; however, sadly his courageous battle came to an end today. He passed away this morning at 9:50. There will be a evening of visitation from 5:00-8:00 PM on Friday, August 7th at Halverson, Stone and Myers Mortuary -1223 Cravens Avenue in Torrance; and the funeral service will take place on Saturday, August 8th at 11:00 AM at St. Andrew Russian Greek Catholic Church - 538 Concord Street in El Segundo. My warmest thanks to all for your prayers and good wishes through this most difficult year.
Hey Jim, Very sorry to hear the news about your brother. Charlie was a great guy with an uplifting personality. I remember the days spent at Bernhard's place in Torrance. It seemed like Charlie was always in a great mood. Thanks for letting his friends know and my condolences to you and your family.

Message: Debbie Kilroy and all Cougars, Today I drove by the new Bob's Big Boy on Katella. It is on Katella east of the 57 freeway between Honda Center and Main Street. They are expected to open on Sunday August 9th. Per their signs there will be classic cars and music in the afternoon. Kathie and I quite often stop Sunday afternoon at Katella Grill (Main and Katella) but we could make an exception if any Cougars will be at Bob's.

We've been unable to reach either of them since early last week. Alex's son, my nephew, was in a motorcycle accident on Wednesday. His ankle was crushed and required surgery and more to come. If anyone knows how to reach either of them please have them call Sharon. Thank you so much, Elizabeth
Good Luck Liz, and let us know if you find them.
