Message: Bare with me a minute; this is really about a Cougar. I went to a dinner last night in San Diego honoring my brother-in-law. The key note speaker was the VP of the Chargers. He said they were naming their all time great 50 Chargers this year. Ron Mix, an average footballer for HHS, an ALL American at USC and an ALL Pro for the Chargers year after year will be on that list. What an honor for a Cougar. Ron also has the honor of breaking my arm the first time in a street football game under the lights on 134th Street.

Message: Last weekend, I had the deepest honor and extreme privilege of seeing and experiencing first-hand the wonderful work Faelin Klein ('75) does for the beautiful members of her Sunshine Kids Club up in Chico, CA. Please continue to consider supporting our fellow Cougar and the inspiring work she does. My cheeks *STILL* hurt from smiling and laughing, seeing the joy in those kids' faces as they played wheelchair basketball. Giving is living, and Faelin is doing both to the max!!!!!

Message: I just took a trip down Cougartown.com memory lane - I loved the 2001 Halloween hi jinx! It's also nice to read through and view the get-togethers, re-visit feedbackers who are no longer with us and visit whichever season of the year we would like. You've got it all here, John-boy. Guess I was feeling nostalgic.

Message: How sad I am to hear of the passing of Pat Sacayan. Over 10 years ago, she became one of the first (of many) "special" reunions / unions that Cougartown has spawned. She and Ed Sharp found each other after 30 years, reconnected and began to go steady. : )) We followed their sweet little love affair and knew that others would follow. It is a magic thing when you find those folks who, so long ago, captured a piece of your heart and have held it tenderly all these years. And what joy it is when we are able to rekindle - in whatever degree is right and proper now - with the people of our youth. My condolences to Ed and to Pat's family. I'm so glad you got the opportunity to see where the future would take you...Cougars forever.

Message: Hey John, Bob and Karen; and those who EM'd me. Thanks for the nice b'day wishes! However there seems to be some mistake. You see, everyone is congratulating me on turning 65 yrs. old, but that can't be because I just turned 23 2 years ago...or... maybe it was 5 yrs ago. Well...not THAT long ago, OK!!?? Anyway, thanks for the good thoughts. I'm very fortunate to have such good friends. (How I've managed to hold on to them for so long, I'll never know. A testament to their patience I guess!) Tom

Message: For any Cougars that knew Patricia Ann Sacayan Sharp, she completed her life doing what she loved. Her life ended after an accident on her Harley. Pat loved the wind in her face and all the wonderful smells of the open country. We racked up many miles and wonderful trips together. Pat was a wonderful and loving lady. I love her with all my heart. Here is one of the last communications I had from her 2 months ago. She is writing to a friend of ours. Pat turned 59 10/04/2009.

Hi Craig! I'm reaching out to all the bikers I know! Its been a long time since I've seen you, even around riding! The gals that I ride with came up with this idea last xmas. We've done a calendar for 2010, and all the proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research. The calendars are $15. Each gal is featured with her own bike, and the photographer took our pictures around the Cooks Corner neighborhood. I'm Ms. April, tho the printer goofed on the year of my bike, its really 2007, not 2006. I still have my sporty, haven't taken it out in over a year. And I only just decided to finally sell it, a little reluctantly, its my baby after-all! Let me know if you're interested in a calendar, and please pass it on to other bikers. I've been riding with these gals for almost two years now. Last year a few of us rode up to Reno for the Street Vibrations event. We rode up in one day and watched the sun rise on the 395. The trip home was brutal tho, we saw the sun come up and go down! We do have alot of fun together, and when we're riding, we create quite a stir ! ha ha!
Hope to hear from you!
Thank you, Pat

Message: Neil!! Thank you! I accept your kind offer and John, I'm not talking about the style of shirt, I AM talking about the artwork. It's a girl thing - "Cougar", "COUGAR", get it? Well, the girls know and I think Neil caught on. It will be subtle and double entendre but in a respectable way. Just a hint of Rowdy Girl. ; )) Neil, your sis Ingrid will help give this some direction. See, that's what this is all about. Cougar cooperation. Anyway John, I think it's time we added to the t-shirt line...comments anyone?

Sharon Leach does! Susan- I will start some draft designs as soon as you send me your email suggestions-(anyone? Bueller?) When I have a couple prepared perhaps John B will post them for a Cougartown vote? it will be cool to lend a hand, I will offer finished design free to Cougartown for printing ...Our first T's were for the 4 Beach Cities Fest in 1972. Rich Greedus still has several of those original shirts we did with a homemade silk screen.

Message: One more note on the construction industry. Barbara, I hope the best for your son, but it's done for Nevada. "The only thing that's left is Public Works, roads," "And there's nothing big on the books for the unions for the next 5-10 years." So like I said, "It's done for Vegas and Nevada." By the end of the year their will be close to 30,000 unemployed construction workers just in Vegas. So, I hope the best for your son.Speaking on "the manly man." I just purchased a Inferno Orange, 2010 Camaro SS, 6-speed, 426 HP, 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds and top speed 155 MPH, this Camaro is a mean machine, I guess I'm going through a mid-life crisis. Anyways Barbara, all I can say is this car is making a man out of me.

Message: Patty Valencia - Back to google -gangster- NEVER trust the Internet it says that V-Girls are "V-girl (www.v-girl.com) is an artificial intelligence-based virtual-girlfriend". I'm sure that everyone here at Cougartown.com know that there is nothing artificial about the V-Girls.
