Message: Thank you all for the lovely birthday greetings! I am so grateful for my Cougartown family and YOU, John, for giving us this fine venue. And while I'm at it, Happy Birthday to you, too! I'm sorry I missed Cruise Night but I had a concert date with Konnie Krislock and a bottle of Sailor Jerry rum. Now I find out that the picnic will be Sept. 18 and I will be in Meadview. I'm so sorry to miss it, I LOVE THE PICNIC! But, Mr. B says we must go, and go we must. (It's that or a sanitarium.) Any chance of holding the picnic in Meadview? A mere 7 hour drive? They have a bar, a restaurant, and a motel- what more could you ask? And karaoke on Saturday nights... THAT should clinch the deal!!!

On Sept 16th, by my calculations, they will have been married for 33 years....wow, how time flies. Anyway John, I think Laurie mentioned that her Gramma Lottie (sp?) Keahey was a teacher at Hawthorne Christian. A former mentor of yours? It's a small world....

Our favorite football team was there. The Current HHS players, those kids were very cool. They hit all us up to purchase their Booster cards! It was cool to see Coach Plum meet the players. That was priceless. I can hardly wait for the next gathering.

Thanks for all your hard work in keeping up the site. It truly is a terrific place to re-live the "good old days". And George J. I put cream and sugar in my coffee. I've never heard of anyone putting "old car and rods" in coffee. Whoever said the gear heads were not a bunch of tough guys.(HA!, just yankin' your chain!!) Tom

Message: Hey, John Boy; Hot Rodders, I just got back from Huntington Beach, at Adams st. & Magnolia, just south of Beach Blvd. where there is a vintage Hot Rod rally every Saturday. There is everything from 1962 vintage 409 Chevy's to 1927 Ford hot rod T's, I know there are some old gear heads on this site who might be interested if they don't already know about the place. The thing is, you have to get there early, Rods start showing up at about 5:00 AM and most are gone by 8:00 AM. There are probably 100 + hot rods every Saturday that show up, there is a huge parking lot next to a donut shop that actually has good coffee that is filled with old cars & rods. Jorge
