Message: Aloha everyone in Cougartown :) my name is Jaime Ito I am Keith Jones daughter.. A friend of my Dad's told me I should post on here since alot of his friends are on here...But I am here..as many of you know I lost my Daddy this past Jan 10 2011..But he maybe gone but I will never let his legacy go. He was an AMAZING Dad and friend to many, he always knew how to make me laugh. But..I started a foundation in his name and I am holding my very first fundraiser with 1 of my Dad's ex-girlfriends in Oahu on June 17th 2011 at The Villa in the Aloha Tower Marketplace..Tickets are $25, $10 will go to the foundation the rest goes to her Network808 business club..But I will be holding a live auction (surfboards, paintings,etc..) and a silent auction. All monies from that will go into the Keith D. Jones foundation. I need help to raise money for this foundation, but I really need items to auction off (since all that money will go to the foundation)..If you think you can help me please email me from my Dad's foundation website you can also go to the website to see what the foundation is about and to see how I plan to keep my Dad's name alive. You can also make a donation via paypal. We are a 501(c)3 and all donations are tax deductiable :) Mahalo Nui Loa for your Kokua.

Old and faded uniforms for the football team. The students don't even have auto shop! No wonder kids today are the way they are! Very disappointing

Message: Sidney, Thanks for the pom pom cheer and confirming what all you fellahs did in those islands. I use to think there was a naked girl under those hoods, because you sure weren't paying much attention to us. BTW--my Mom & Dad made donation and they aren't even alive. However, I know they would want me to because they loved Haw. and Calif. If you make a donation in your folk's name, it only shows what we're made of. "2 generations caring about what happens to our kids." Dad always made it clear that you're suppose to leave something behind better than you were. Until then, you have a job to do. And now I'm off to tint the grey out of my eyebrows for the reunion.

Message: Emailing Greg Bowman this morning telling him a story that I'd like to share while we're on the subject of donations for HHS. While working with the Jr. ROTC few years ago, one of the boys asked me if HHS had an auto shop when I attended school. You could hear a pin drop as he listened to me rattle on about how most boys had a jalopy of some kind and how they would constantly fix them up.. cruise the blvd., and meet with other boys to put their heads under the hood after school and weekends and loved every minute of it. The islands on Haw Blvd. always had cars in them with the hoods up and boys looking under. I explained to him that back in the 60's very few boys had a new car.. but they all created a "great car." Remember the song.."None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn't be right, to leave their best girl home now on Saturday night." This boy just loved the story and told me that he wished he was in high school back then because they didn't offer auto shop anymore.( funding cut ) I was shocked. High school and NO AUTO SHOP! I couldn't vision it! So you see, all this money is to give to kids what we had handed to us at no charge. It's not being handed to them. In return, some of these kids will remember this and do this same thing when they are our age and have a few extra bucks to spare. "They learn from us." If your attitude is that their parents should be funding these programs..well, how many of 'our parents' had enough money to give to HHS back then..they were too busy raising your brothers and sisters and paying off the mortgage. If you all gave a just a buck, we'd be there now. Oh, BTW-my boyfriend had a royal blue '56 Ford, 4 on the floor and the radiator blew everytime we hit 40 mph... (am I right Don Scheliga, Ray Scholl & Jerry Pat Simpson?) I'll be back Monday with a donation from our Women's Aux.

Message: Some have asked what the students are doing to raise money for the football team. I received an email today from Sonja Simmons - HHS Football Boosters Club. I asked her what the students were doing to raise funds and this is her response.
Hi John, As far as the Boosters generating money, we are in the process of planning for our 1st annual Parking Lot Sale as well as a Silent Auction. Last season we opened the snack shop during home games to generate money for team meals. If you have ideas please let me know. The students sell community cards during the summer and we are currently selling chocolates as a fundraiser. Thanks.
Thanks goes out to Sonja and her Booster crew for helping out. They also have a website if you'd like to take a look. Thanks Sonja for all you and the Boosters are doing for our HHS footballers. They need all the help they can get and this has to be putting the pressure on Coach Joe and the team to have a spectacular season..... but good pressure

Message: Hey, Jake & John; Hey my friends, wasn't this Turtle thing started by one of the early Astronaughts ?. I believe as I remember the story, back when the Astranaughts worked/trained at STL (Space Technology Labs.), when they were in town, they stayed at a Hotel called the "Pen & Quill" (don't ask me why I remember the name of this place) anyhow, it had a great upstairs bar. The place was located on or at the S/W corner of Rosecrans & Sepulveda, in El Segundo. That used to be one of my favorite watering holes. There were always a bunch of secretaries there for Happy Hour from STL & Xerox Corp. the festivities usually went until late evening, the pickens were very good. Jorge

She worked at the Gateway Nat. bank on Sepulveda and Imperial at the time, mid to late 60's, just a stones throw from the Turtle club. I guess it was an easy lunch stop for them. Or maybe picker upper stop if they were having a bad day. Send the libation my friend JUST because you asked! MAY THE COUGAR BE WITH YOU. Jake N Jude
