Message: Hi Kristi, Mom is sending this for me, since I do not really have a computer yet, but soon!! You know I will be there for our Homecoming and Reunion, I really am looking forward to seeing you again, we really did not have much of a chance to visit last Christmas. But we will have lots more time, Im not sure about the picnic, we will see. Mom, sent me Erica's E address, have not had a chance to get to a computer to E her, but I do know she will be here for the Reunion, not sure about the Homecoming. Mom see's Gilbert at Lucky's all the time and he will be at the Reunion too! Remember what we did to Gilbert, John and all those other guys on Senior Slave Day!! Lisa Calabro will be at Homecoming according to Mom, looking forward in seeing her too. See you at the Homecoming!
Now see, this looks like a personal message between two people, but there's other info here too. Now all Darla's friends know she'll be at the reunion and Homecoming.

Message: john,
i have to agree with those people who are tired of wading thru personel msgs to try and find real hhs memories. lets use our own emails for most of this stuff ive stop logging on every day because if you dont know the people it gets kinda boring. i know if we try we can keep coming up with stories and new people to make cougartown the way it was a few months ago. love the site.
First of all. "Make Cougartown the way it was a few months ago." I hadn't noticed the "deterioration", but I do know what you mean about personal messages to one or two individuals being left on Feedback. These can very easily be taken care of through normal email. I also understand that some people DON'T understand this, especially if they're new to Ctown. I also don't want to make a hard and fast rule. So people, if you want to say something to me, or the group, use Feedback. If you want to tell someone that you'll pick them up at 8pm on Saturday, use email. If you make a mistake, it will still be posted and everyone else please ignore the honest mistake of a fellow Coug. Thanks for all your comments on this subject. This is everyone's forum and it's nice when we all can voice our opinions, here, in this manner.

Message: Judy DeGrazia, I think that you are wrong about Robin, I think that he was the only "real" person at the party. I just checked out the Las Vegas photos and if you look at the fourth photo you will see that John had on the same clothes. I am sure that if we look we can find photos of the other cougars from reunions, which has more witnesses. Now if you notice all of the other people are in front of Robin. It is much easier to impose someone on top of another and since Robin is in back one must assume that Robin was the only person at the "reunion". Now as to the expression on his face, he realized that his loyal (royal) friends stood him up.

RE: LEEROY FELDERRUSTER...I don't know what all the mystery is...but some of us ROWDY GIRLS just had dinner with LEEROY & BEULAH last Wed night..and they couldn't have been more charming. Of course..LEEROY bear hugged each one of us to the ground..and asked if we wanted to rassle right there on the restaurant floor, but after we pinned him down one by one..he sat at the table like a gentleman and he ordered our possum innards & hog jowls. If you don't believe me..ask Marsha Russell, Mo Trott & Joyce McCarroll. Beulah picked up the tab. Next dinner is in Sept. Calif Pizza Kitchen.. Everyone's invited.. Join us.

My 15 year old, highly responsible daughter, and my 14 year old son have graciously volunteered their child care services during the after-game-party at Stick & Stein. I will volunteer my home for this undertaking! That means there is NO excuse for not making the game, party, and picnic. If you need child care for after the game, send me an e-mail and I will give you the details. I am just a few block from Stick & Stein and this will allow you to enjoy the party while the kids enjoy snacks, games, and movies! You can retrieve your kids on your way to the hotel, or we can shuttle them if needed.

Message: All right Royal: You were right about Willie Martin and the first couple of "scores".( I really couldn't remember whether it was the first "Q" or the 2nd, I'm older than you) when stuff started happening, but when it did, it did! But as far as containing Willie Brown, we held him to a "meager" 126 yrds or so. But you are right they did wear us down. But now i'm wondering if you're not "Getting Old". HHS was at "max" 1600 to 1700 students at that time. My grad class was only 399, if I "remember" correctly, but yes they did have the 3500 students from the 10th to the 12th and we, well we had COUGARS! But ROY, we were only 10-0 going into that game, not 11-0! It makes no diff! Roy, they had unbelievable athletes. I remember, Irvin breaking through the line and Al Geverink, playing DB at the time, who was one of the best hitters on our team, if not the best, stuck Irvin about 8 yds from the line of scrimmage and all you heard was "the crack of pads" and then a big "ugh". He was still going. That 3rd kickoff that the coach talked about where Reale went up the sidelines and he ran out of "gas" was partly true. Jim may have run out of gas, but I was called for clipping on the play.(Picture in 60 EL MOLINO). It was a legal hit. But, just a fraction of history in our lives. It wasn't fun to taste that defeat, but in our lives, we know, that we really won that GAME! No real stars, no superhero's, just a DAMN good bunch of COUGARS who ALMOST had their fingers on the GOLDEN RING! Hey Royal I love this format that JB has put together. It's good talking with you. But one last thing, JIM WEST, where the heck are you? Come on bud you showed your face, keep it in place! EL AND ID QUEEN. MAY THE COUGAR BE WITH YOU!
