Hope all you Cougs had and continue to have a blessed holiday and I'm looking forward to checking in on Cougartown from my OWN computer now. Even though it's an old dinosaur computer, I feel it's okay for now (being an oldie but goodie myself). Off to set up e-mail ... God bless ...

Message: Thanks Robin Hood for fed-exing me the tasty Thanksgiving Crow I so richly deserved yesterday. I would have preferred Duck, because it is a real good eatin bird, but Crow it was this year. Still picking the black feathers from my teeth. All you need is one more victory in the Civil War and Roses are yours for this year. Otherwise, I will have to send you some nice Beaver for New Years Day Dinner. Can you even eat Beaver? On second thought, dont answer that one... Hope everyone had a good holiday. Look for me singing auld lang syne to Charile Weis tomorrow evening as we make our way onward and upward to the Emerald Bowl. I guess it beats a 2-9 season for a change. For that, we are very thankful!

Wow, she's like, really close to Laguna Beach - such a cool place to just chill out after really neat dinner! I was remembering how the night before Thanksgiving was when we'd all gather over at Eucalyptus Park to, ya know, drink, or whatever. But then some cop would drive by, and we'd have to split! What a bummer. . . .Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all you dudes - Peace, man. Betty Kean-a-reano

Message: Happy Thanksgiving everyone! John, we owe you such gratitude for the wonderful community that you have created for us- COUGARTOWN! You've brought us all together in a way that I think very few people will ever have the good fortune to know. Here's a prime example: After working with Juli P on the Somis Academy Charter School PFO for the last two years, I happened to mention growing up in Hawthorne.
Juli: I grew up in Hawthorne! Me: HUH??? Okay, maybe I'm not very good at expressing myself but you get the idea. Juli Utter is her maiden name; she went to Ramona, Intermediate, and Leuzinger. Graduated 1973. Her grandpa owned Utter's Pool Hall on Hawthorne Bl just north of El Segundo Bl. A photo of his pool hall is in one of the Street Scene's on this website! Well now isn't it a small Cougar world??? Juli wonders if anyone knows the whereabouts of Cheryl Peterson class of 72? I wonder if Cheryl is related to Matt? If anyone knows how to reach Cheryl please let me know or have Cheryl contact me. So not quite a Cougar sighting but an absolutely amazing coincidence! Jim, thanks for supporting BOO, and John, thanks for putting the BOO vote up, but I see the top dogs got over 7000 votes and I just don't know that many people! Ah well, she's still the cutest pooch in the pack! Anita, many congrats to the happy parents and the very VERY happy grandma!!

Message: Happy Thanksgiving - I have always had reasons to be thankful on Thanksgiving, but this year I have one more. A little one mind you as he is only 6 pounds 11 ounces. My very first grandchild arrived on Tuesday the 24th at 1:46AM. The little bugger has been in NICU trying to overcome a pneumothorax for the past 2 days but my son in-law just called to tell me that the three of them are coming home this morning. I have discovered that if you ever need a lift or an attitude adjustment, just try to appreciate and reflect on the good things and count your blessings. It can be done anytime and any place. Blessings to all~

Message: Hello All, I received this E-mail from "Jake Tebbi" and while I can not help, perhaps someone out there in Cougartown might.
Glenn, Hi, I am looking for any of the Jefferson?s. I think you were friends with Jerry Lee. (they lived on 5350 124th St. W. Hawthorne). I know Kathy passed away a few years ago but I am still trying to find Nancy or their mom ?Helen?. My sister ?Nassrin? was in the class of ?65 and lived with the Jefferson?s. We are now looking to see if we can find any of them. Can you help in any way? Thanks.
Penny Prouty or Barbara Orr are you there? Debra McGregor, who worked with Kathy Jefferson in Lancaster, is without a computer at this time I think; does anyone know how to get ahold of Debra? I know it's a small, small Cougartown world out there, having been blown away numerous times after reconnecting with a long lost friend through this wonderful website. Does anyone remember Nassrin?

Message: The old sayings are peachy keen. How about some of the old "Urban Legends" we heard as kids. I remember the escaped crazed killer (aren't they all?) with the hook as a hand. The guy and girl heard about it on the radio while watching the Submarine Races in PV. They decided that they'd better leave, and when the guy went around to open the passenger door for the girl when they got home, he found a bloody hook hanging from the handle. Yeah. THAT happened.
