Message: John, Good to see the accolades expressed for some of HHS graduates. I would like to send an accolade out to a HHS, 1967 graduate, Dennis Shelley. He submitted his retirement papers after 45 years of service to his country. He is a veteran of the 1969 TET offensive, in Viet Nam, protected the City of El Paso for 22 years, as a law enforcement officer, and retired as a Lieutenant. Then, the very next day he joined the U.S. Customs Service, which is now known as Homeland Security. For 20 years he has helped protect our nation, on the Southern Border. Dennis will retire as a Watch Commander in December. Congratulations Dennis, we are proud of you. As I'm sure your classmates are also. Thanks John.... Tom & Ray

Message: Hey, Millman; I have a Cougar siteing for you, Sandy Snyder (Wainright/Wheeler)C/O 1962 & her husband, stopped by our place at Chaparral C/C here in Palm Desert yesterday. They were motor homing (Snow Birding) from there home in Tahoe. We all sat on our warm sunny Patio watching passing golfers put their golf balls in the water on the 15th fareway, trying to reach the green & had a few barley coked, wine & eats that Arlene made up. We talked about what's happened in the last 40+ years since we had seen one another. Boooy!!, a lot has happened LOL, on both sides of that equasion. Dennis Campbell came by later in his Golf Cart, I think he heard a beer can pop open or something LOL. We all had an enjoyable few hours together and told one another that we would not wait another 40 years to meet again, fun time, fun stories of the past. Jorge

Message: Here is a thought. Would some of us Cougars like to get together and charter a bus to go to the hollywood bowl bb concert on June 6th. We could have the bus pick us up in hawthorne and take us to the bowl. I personally don't know how to go about doing this, but sure I can figure it out. If anyone is interested in doing this contact me at my e-mail which is listed above. Guess we'd better find out if any tickets are still available first.

Message: Be my Val again Mr. Noodleman. 12 years ago tonight, he surprised me with my ring asked me to marry him. Back then, he would have taken me to Flemmings for a steak, but tonight we're going to Billy's for chili with extra cheese and onions. No biggie, that's exactly what I want. Happy Valentine's day to the man with the white hat, my lover and best friend & the best thing that ever happened to me. I'd still be in a fox hole with you anytime.. Your Tilly (no-not that kinda fox hole JB)

Message: Hey, Steve; They (recording executives) are looking for a younger demographics and your not in their preimiter of choices LOL, how's it feel to realize your an old fart like the rest of us. I'm still trying to figure out "Rap" music, if that's what they want to call it, 50's & 60's music is still the best and most played & will last forever. I guess Country Rock is the next choice, at least you can understand what they are saying. Jorge

Message: The Fiftieth Anniversary reunion of the Beach Boys was a wonderful thing to see tonight. Back together again. I don'T know about anybody else but it took me right back to Hawthorne in the Sixties and that's not a bad place to be if only for a little while. To those that may have missed the broadcast or just want to see it again I have it linked the performance at Cougartown Videos.

Message: To answer Janet Leslie comment about sports...It was a teacher/coach that came up to me and asked if me and a friend of mine if we were going to play football this fall(we where brand new freshman signing up for classes in Aug of 1978). I never played football before other than flag football so he encouraged us to join the Freshman Football team. That was the best advice I got because even though we lost way more games than won it was the Spirit of the students, friends and teachers who makes it all the worth while. Thank you Neil Minami!

Message: Any of you remember watching Uncle Jimmy Weldon and Webster Webfoot during the 1950s and early 1960s? This gentleman is still around doing motivational speaking and telling jokes with Webster. He has a "web" site. I learned to do duck talk at about age eight. Still entertaining four and five year olds with my Donald Duck, Webster, and Yakky Doodle imitations. Will I ever grow up and give up the duck? Highly doubtful!

Message: I received a message from Lupi Perkins the other day regarding the death of Sharon McCain. She was the wife of Woody McCain class of 1967. I believe Sharon did graduate from Hawthorne but not sure of the year. I knew both Woody & Sharon from soccer. They had two boys who we need to keep in our prayers at this difficult time. This is all the information I have, sorry.
