Message: Ah, the famous Bill D, baseball great at St. Joe's in 'pony' league - '59 champs ... and the racer of the baseball pack, Bill S. Best to all as the ole stories I'm sure roared. Cheers 'n gears from Indy. Duck, I even remember the real player in your family as your dad. Bill, I remember your quarter midget and the ole Indy track (now Marina Del Rey). Glad your all doing well ... you too Les. Sid, you look top drawer. Best to all.

Message: Back when I was in little league, I remember practically living at Holly Glen Park, watching the "big boys" (some of those in the photo) play middle league baseball. My older brothers, Gary & Jeff, played with or against some of them. Occasionally, I got to be a bat boy. The team didn't matter, since I was on the BIG diamond. I got to swing the BIG bats. I got to sit w/ the BIG GUYS! (& it was always good for a hot dog & RC after the game). I think Mickey Hatcher (former L.A. Dodger) was calm & reserved compared to Bill Shultz. "Shultzy" was the most intense player I've ever seen! By the way, the Kirk Douglas cleft chin was the trigger for remembering Butch Morris!

Message: Loved the picture of the "guys" from the class of 1963. Now I want to see the one of the football team with my brother. He tells me he had a great time. Also want to comment on the 1962 Ladies gathering this Saturday. I know where Sherman Gardens is, but maybe not everyone does. It might be confusing as the feature says it is in "Corona" while it is actually in "Corona del Mar." Hope they all check the "directions." These gatherings are so much fun, and the older we get the more fun they are.
Thanks Maurine, I haven't gotten any more pictures but I'm sure Rich was taking a few and will bring them to Cruise Night on Friday.

Sometimes I think the feedbacker and I are closer than we are and that person gets me, but it isn't always so. I didn't mean anything by the comment and it wasn't to make you look stupid. I will try to watch it in the future. Again I apologize for the comment.

Message: Great picture above. Do not want to spoil guessing it for everyone. From left to right; Grew up with ____ and had the same first love, played next to Bill and played very well, had half my Friday night dinners with _____, Bill got me in UCLA and introduced me to my wife, Gary was my roommate for years in Manhatten Beach, I spend the other half of my Friday nights eating at _____'s house and Sid was one of the best two coaches I got to work for along with Toby. I am sure Toby's picture will follow. And a great time was had by all.
Sorry Gar', you were there.

Message: Since you asked...in the photo, 2nd from R, Bill Shultz; "The Myk," on the R, holding the jacket; & Sid "Hey, Meat!" Semon, on the far R, also my former HHS baseball coach. Sid doesn't look much different than he did "back in the day!" Hope I look that good...(but it's probably too late!). Others look very familiar, but can't put names to the faces. - Gibby -
Actually Bill is second from left but I know you knew that Gib. OK so we have Bill Shultz, Bill Daquila, Gary Mykkanen, and Coach Semon. Even I got those 4. Now it gets a little tougher

Message: No doubt that's my neighbor Billy Daquila with "Myk" and the ageless Coach Semon on the right. There were only three types of people in Coach Semon's world. You were either: (1) "Right man at the the right spot", (2) "Bussy" or, 3) "Meat". If you played for him, you would know what I mean!
I was always Meat.

Message: My brother, John asked me to let the class of 69 know that he was really looking forward to going to the reunion on Saturday. He said it will be a great reunion with classmates attending that he hasn't seen in 40 years. He'll be thinking of you. John had a craniotomy yesterday and is doing great. His blood is under control too. Thanks for all the love and prayers. Since he can't get to a computer, I've been reading the emails you've sent to me for him over the phone.
Great news Noreen, thanks for the update. John, hope to see you at the Picnic this year.

Message: Dear John: I believe that it is fitting to share this email with you and the whole Cougartown community. David Neuschafer is known to many of you as "LBD" (Little Brother David). He needs all the prayers that he can get. I regularly send email prayer requests to many Leuzinger grads and we would all appreciate it if you could post this on your website. Thanking you in advance. Russ Meinke, Leuzinger HS (Class of 1957)

Dear Fellow Classmates: (Dave is Fern Neuschafer-Wettstein's [LHS Class of 1957] brother) Our fellow Olympian and classmate (LHS Class of 1959), David Neuschafer, is in need of your prayers. David has been diagnosed with cancer. It has spread from his bladder, to the kidneys, and the liver. So, prayers for him and his wife, Dale, that our Lord Jesus Christ will lay his healing hands on David and restore his health. David will receive Chemo treatments soon, and as that can take it's toll on a person, Pray that it is successful. Please, NO CALLS at this time. You may send cards (funny and cheerful, if you desire). He appreciates humor. Let's look upon this as a time of healing through prayer.
David and Dale's address is as follows below:
Dave and Dale Neuschafer
P.O. Box 388
Shell Knob, MO 65747
Hi Russ, Thanks for sending along the letter to our Cougartown community. I'm sure there are many here who know Dave and will be praying for his full recovery. I know I will. Thanks again....

Message: John, I like you remember the first time Larry pulled that 409 through Froster Freeze on 120th street and I thought the world was coming to an end. Not the fastest car through there but probably top 5. Not a real Cougar sighting but boy did I see a lot of Cougars including coaches last Saturday.
Hey Gar' I would say Larry's Chevy would run in the 11s, making it a top 2 or 3 street machine in the area.
Talked to Bill Shultz yesterday and he said the same thing about the HHS sports reunion. Now we need some pictures from Rich Sloan.

Message: The count down starts today!! 5 days until one of the biggest and best reunions in HHS history. 1969!!!!! If you haven't planned on attending, you're going to miss out. There will be people there that have never attended a 69 reunion, and others that haven't been for some 20 years. The committee has worked hard to make this reunion one to remember. Think, casual dress, in the Lagoon, great food, Free drinks, music, and most of all, great people from your years at HHS. I'm done asking people to come, but "YOU" that don't attend, will be asking everyone, "WHO WAS THERE" and "YOU" will regret not coming. Saturday Aug 22nd at the Redondo Beach Lagoon. Across from the Crown Plaza Hotel, Next to Ruby's. BE THERE!!!!!! Wayne
BE THERE 69ERS!!!

I lived on the Hill, and we met years ago. I have a lot of friends that also hung out at the Stand, so we decided to put a site together with everything we can put together, stories and pictures which will all be posted, with credit if the people wish. Are you up for sharing any you might have?Let me know, Warm regards, Larry Sturchio (949)515-9199
Hey Larry, Thanks for dropping in and yes I remember those days well including your red 409/427 aluminum front end Chevy.
Stories? I'll come up with a few and send them to you. Please send us your website url when you're ready and I'll add it to the hangouts page. Thanks again.

Message: I attended a picnic today in El Segundo with a bunch of retired Hawthorne Police and Firefighters and families, grandkids, dogs, etc. Standing in line for grub, and there he stood, "Ol' Coach" and Kathy. We talked for a while, I'm sure he remembers every kid he knew. Truly amazing. Was this a sighting? Better than a ghost story, or a dream.
Yes it is Steve. Thanks very much.....

Heck, I could have had a Cougar Sighting! As it was, I did, as I saw Steve and Mish ('71 and '74). No comments John. : )) Anyway, Florence is beautiful as is all of Oregon. Missed seeing my dear old friend Mike Backus - the family events kept me pretty busy and he was tied up as well. Rats. Oh well, my heart was there! I'll post the family pic when I get home.
