Message: That picture is hauntingly familiar. The boys in the back are from Left: Jim Hess (with Charley McCarthy), Danny Litton and the guy in the leather chair would be a bunch of trouble as the pillow he has, belongs on the next chair (floral print). The lad is a young Robert Deniro. The Kleenex box behind his head is of the Willow design, a new concept in packaging. That innovation came about in marketing in the fall of 1967, and that means that these children would be about 15. The big black phone on the stand is due to be replaced soon by a Princess model. The number is OS5-4884, and will ring in the next 30 seconds. The blonde girls are from the set of the Brady Bunch, one is Morgan Fairchild. None were at Cruise Night (I think).
Hey Jim, I love the wood paneling/wallpaper contrast and the large woven oval rug atop the shag carpeting. Very hip in the mid 60s.

Message: Hey John another great cruise night. I met alot of new people on Saturday. And it was fun to see the regular bunch of folks. I think our Cougartown events are getting better and better. With people like Clark; every time he comes he brings someone new? You never know who will be there. Thanks to All the Wonderful Hawthorne people for just being yourselves.
Hey Dennis, Yes it seems more relaxed as everyone is becoming part of the Cougartown family. Thanks for being there and thanks to Clark for bringing Bill Featherston and his 33 Ford. Or Bill, did you bring Clark

Message: I am sooooo sorry to have missed the cruise. Was looking forward to cruising the boulevard in Judy's hot red SUV!! And of course, hanging out with all the fun people and a special date with Bobby J. Alas, I had a previous commmitment for April 2 - I will make NO PLANS for any Saturday night in August reserving all for CT. Besides, we are also overdue for planning the CT picnic. A day in the park with this group is good for the soul and it's been awhile....I DO know those mid 70's Cougs in the pic - do I see the Berardinos? Sunday and Dominic?
YES YOU DO!! Sunday was there last night and wanted you to have this picture. She lives in El Segundo and I told her about the Cougartown Picnic in September. She'll be there. Now that you've brought up the picnic Sue; you, Judy Wudy, and Bob Jensen ARE IN CHARGE.

Message: Good morning, Cougars... just a reminder that the American Cancer Society is having there Relay for Life walk at the HHS football stadium this morning and will be going twenty-four hours until Sunday morning, ending at 9am. Why not make a showing for this important event before you head on over to Cruise Night? Your donation of any amount is appreciated. Perhaps this is the year when they find a cure for cancer. How great that would be! John, Judy and I will see you tonight at Cruise Night...after our Relay for Life walk. We'll be at HHS around 4:00 so everyone come join us. Look for the Hawthorne VFW easy-up tent if you care to make your donation. Bob and Carol Steinhauer will be there manning this event. Later, Cougs...Jan

Message: Hey Wayne, The two versions of the story sound pretty close except for a detail here and there. After reading your post I feel bad for reminding you of memories of a “bad day”.

Message: Gary, I'm so sorry for your loss. Cougars everywhere share your sorrow. Please know that we have you in our hearts and prayers. John, I won't be at Cruise Night as I sadly have a funeral to attend. Very unlikely that it will be over in time but if we can make it to Cruise Night, we will. Don, please come to Cruise Night! Clark will probably be there, I always count on him showing up, it's his sacred duty as Senior Class President. (For the rest of his life. And beyond.) He may bring Mr. Key who is always so much fun to see! Or Coach Plum, or ??? There's always someone fun to catch up with at Cruise Night! Oh Don, please tell Ron that I'll be seeing Liz Hoskinson at the funeral. They knew each other in the Renaissance Faire back in the 60's. Er, 80's. Oh, you know. When we were all kids.
