Out of all the musicians that HHS has had through the years. From Chris Montez to the Beach Boys to David Marks to Ted Gioia, there's one GREAT musician that stands out. Yes, It's Bob Rierdan HHS61. Not because of what he's done on the Top 40 Charts down through the years. Nope, he's the very FIRST HHS musician to write a song about Cougartown. Yes, all the others had their chance, but NOOOOO, it was Bob Rierdan who came through. Bob, I thank you for your beautiful rendition, and lets all Give It Up for Bob Rierdan, and "Cougartown Blues". Cougartown Blues Great birthday present Bob. Thanks a bunch. The early 60's guys have still got it.

I also have some memories that I have not seen posted in your feed back. How about the tv program for Kids.... Bozo the Clown????..... His red hair?? Or my husbands favorite, "Hopalong Cassidy."? Gosh, I remember the Big Slide behind Zody's. That brought back memories to me.
Thanks for helping me feel young again, and keep up the good work...
Oh yes, one more thing. "Happy Belated Birthday".
Thanks Susan, and any friend of Cheryls..........well.......is a friend of mine. Too bad about that Redondo-West High thing. I guess we all can't be Cougars.. No, actually I enjoy hearing from all the South Bay people. We all did it on the same streets, and in the same Hangouts too. Thanks Susan for being a part of our humble forum. Hopalong Cassidy was my favorite cowboy when I was a kid. I had the Hoppy black shirt, black hat, chaps, and six guns. QUICK, What was Hoppy's horse's name? Come on back anytime Susan, even if Cheryl IS your friend.

Personal note to Gary, glad you are coming to HC but leave my behind out of it, I've already seen one person's life ruined here at CT on account of that subject!

I hope that by doing this we can bring the donations to a close. I was wishing that more people would have pledged and sent in their monies.
Yes folks, I know there're others out there who want to pledge 10 bucks to a Nyman Hall seat, so please don't put it off. They need this money NOW. I'm holding the money here, until a seat is filled, so if you're going to donate to one of the above seats, please do it today. Just email me and tell me which seat you want to pledge to, and I'll add your name.

Cheryl, You did GREAT!! OK, so some of you won't think this is a clique thing.
My good friend, HHS61's Mike Shay's wife Barbara (maiden name Heisey) collects Heisey glass. Her birthday was yesterday. I had bought her a Heisey sugar bowl a couple of years ago, but the creamer was missing (they come in Sugar and Creamer sets). When Cheryl was down here a couple of months ago, her and I went antiquing one day and this Heisey Creamer came up. Cheryl wrote it down and yesterday, she emailed me and had found one. The amazing thing is she found it on Barbara's birthday. Perfect Cheryl......Thanks, and yes, you did REAL good.

Message: Is a great picture of the ol'Leather britches hisself, Dick Lane. Loved it when he would slap a fender during the commercial, was a great wrestling announcer also. How about that Argentina Rocca, Lord Blears, The Great Scott, Baron Michale Leonie, Freddie Blase, and my favorite Ref was the man they call Strombow. What about Hank from Wynn Brothers Auto parts that gave away the the cases of Sta Lube on Jalopy Derby every Sunday afternoon. The Hawthorne P.D. motor officers that worked the A&W. Fred and Tim Moore. First ticket I got was from Pete Stillman and Stonebraker. Lane change no signal. Maxine, the car hop at the A&W Lady knew how to wear black pants. I made it for a week at St. Josephs, 4th grade Sister Joseph Patrice. What a great ball player. Hot rodders should remember a Bob Mcclure, built some mighty Hydro trannies. Pelican Hi Performance. Jack could build those small block chevies and 312 Fords.. His black 60 Ford with the 530 CI Lincoln that sat high and looked like a roach. Jerry "Hoppie" Hopkins and his Red 50 Ford with his built to the hilt 312 T-Bird engine. Bennie Ryan Owner of Shiftmaster had the 59 small block Chevie he raced at Lions, and trophied all the time. Tommy Ivo (actor)racing his Glass slipper. Coburn Glaze over on Rosecrans that had the coupe with the big round air scoop. Stone, Woods and Cook and their Olds powered coupe,and how that B&M Hydro would shift coming off the line first black men in drag racing that I knew of. The first very fast car I rode in was a 3/8 by 3/8 Ford Flathead owned by Mike Burris. His super fast bright RED 60 Ford, with only a 3 speed. What fun times. And that is all I have to say about that.
Yes, it's ol' leather britches, Dick Lane in the previous picture. Geez Carl, There're some great Drag racing memories here. I remember big Bob's 58 Corvette. MAN, what a ride.
How about Gorgeous George, Mister Moto with his world famous sleeper hold, and 600lb Haystack Calhoun. Now THERE was my kind of athlete.

Good job guys - it was a fun birthday lunch and was so nice to meet you in the flesh. And it feels like I've known you all along....we had arrived early so took a few mins and toured the old hood near York School where I spent my early youth. It has changed alot but I was still glad to see it. Even drove by Laura and Nancy Petros' old house to take in the memory of many happy times there with them. Heard the bells of St. Joseph's as we came out from lunch - was driving by the old Ben's market and I made Darryl stop and let me run inside to see and drink it in. (The counter guy thought I was nuts.) The area may have changed but I can still envision it as it was. I am so thankful to have grown up there. It was a very good life....thanks again John for helping us all find our way back home.

We always sat near each other because our last names were so alphabetically close. Good to hear from you. Give us a brief bio. John, "you can run, but you can't hide." HAPPY BIRTHDAY! If you are familiar with "The Hobbit", then you know that it was Hobbit tradition for the one with the birthday to give the gifts. You must be a Hobbit. Thank you for Cougartown. I haven't disappeared, but I've really been busy and it took me 2 hours to read all of the feedback I've missed. I usually read it even if I don't do anything else. I think I told you that I was going to have my '65 bug painted and upholstered. Part of the payment is a portrait of the guy's 2 sons. I need to finish it before school starts and I haven't had a chance to work on it because my Principal committed me to do a drawing for Cal-State Long Beach. It's almost done... about 10 more hours. I'd be more than proud to do one for the Cougartown T-shirts. Alan--if you could do a rough, I'll pull it together on the computer. Right now that's as much as I can muster. When do you guys need it? Lastly, I remember everything you guys have mentioned unless it was personal. Handy Hints was Dick and Dorothy Gardener and Betty White. And Patty, you were with us when we saw Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay. We saw John Kennedy at the L.A.Coliseum when he accepted the nomination for President of the USA. Has anyone mentioned Captain Jet and zooooooom? How about "Mr. Novak?"
Who was Captain Jet, IN REAL LIFE?? I say it was Doodles Weaver. Anyone???
Ricki Darlin, I love you bunches. I know you're busy and that's fine. I don't want to put you on the spot here for the Tshirt art. I called Alan this morning and he's going to handle the Homecoming Tshirt art. I know how it is and I can appreciate your workload. I do want you to do artwork for Cougartown in the future, but please take care of business first. That's what the Cougar spirit is all about. We all jump in and help the next person. Again, you being here on the site is far more important than anything else.

WE USED TO SIT NOT MORE THAN A COUPLE OF ROWS FROM HER. SHE WAS QUITE A CASE. AND WE WOULD ESPECIALLY GO WHEN THEY PLAYED THE DREADED "STARS". THE STARS HAD A SHORTSTOP NAMED CARLOS SOMETHING. WE ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS A REAL DIRTY PLAYER. MAYBE BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS INSTRUMENTAL IN BEATING THE ANGELS. BUT THE STUFF ON THE "SAND DUNES" REALLY TRIPPED MY TRIGGER. WE TOO WOULD RIDE OUR BIKES UP IMPERIAL HWY AND HAUL OUR ARSENAL. TO THIS DAY I NEVER HIT A RABBIT WITH MY PELLET GUN OR MY BOW AND ARROWS. I'M SUPRISED THAT SOMEONE DIDN'T FIND MY ARROWS. HELL, I MUST HAVE LOST A HUNDRED OF EM OUT THERE. BUT ONE THING WE USED TO DO WAS CLASSIC. WE HAULED OUR BIKES TO THE TOP OF THE DUNES AND ACTUALLY RODE THEM DOWN. NOW, WE DIDN'T MAKE IT MOST THE TIME, WE HAD SAND IN PLACES THAT GOD HADN'T INVENTED, BUT JEEZ WAS IT FUN. AND TED GIOIA, THAT WAS A HUGE KICK IN THE BUTT ABOUT "LEEROY", I LOVED IT. SLOEY, YOU GRADUATED IN 66. DID YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF GUYS IN YOUR CLASS BY THE NAMES OF PHIL LOMBARDI AND WARD HECKMAN?

WELL, EACH LATE SUMMER AND IN THE FALL, THEY WOULD GO UP THE ROAD AND INTO THE WOODS, IN SEARCH OF A LITTLE FIREWOOD. TO HEAT THE HOUSE ON THOSE LONG WINTER DAYS, TO KEEP THEIR CHILDREN FROM BEING AFRAID AND TO KEEP THEM COZY AND TIGHT AT NIGHT, SO EVERYTHING WOULD BE "ALLRIGHT".

IT JUST SO HAPPENED THEY HAD BROUGHT A LUNCH AND SOME "LIBATIONS" ON A HUNCH THEY FOUND A GLADE ON A MOUNTAIN SIDE, TO LAY THEIR BLANKET AND BE SIDE BY SIDE. WELL, LIBATIONS CAN DO SOME VERY STRANGE THINGS AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, IT WAS THE BIRDS AND BEE'S THING. NOW, "THINGS" WERE GOING AS GREAT AS CAN BE, WHEN DUDE NOTICED SOMETHING IN DUDETTE'S GRIN THAT REALLY KIND OF BOTHERED HIM. SHE WAS GRINNIN FROM EAR TO EAR AND DUDE THOUGHT THIS TO BE QUITE QUEER. HE ASKED HER IN A GENTLE WAY, WHAT COULD BE SO FUNNY WHERE THEY LAY. ALL SHE COULD DO WAS POINT TO THE SKY AND LAUGH AND LAUGH AS SHE LOOKED UP HIGH. WHEN DUDE TURNED AROUND AND LOOKED AT THE SKY, HE LAUGHED SO HARD THAT HE SHOOK TO HIS KNEES FOR ABOVE THE TREETOPS THEY WERE CIRCLING LIKE BEES. "BUZZARDS"! YES, "BUZZARDS" THOSE DIRTY BIRDS, CIRCLING CLOSER AND CLOSER, LOWER AND LOWER. WELL DUDE KNEW HE'D LOST A STEP, BUT DIDN'T THINK HE WAS QUITE NEAR DEATH, BUT IT JUST GO'S TO SHOW, ITS "FATHER TIME'S" WAY OF SAYING, YOU'RE WELL ON YOUR WAY. IF YOU LAY YOUR BLANKET IN THE WOODS, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE "BUZZARDS", BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW OLD, ITS STILL "REALLY GOOD". ANONYMOUS!
