YES to Taco Bell, but I believe the other place was known as Jacques in the Box, or as Bill Barmore would say GAG in The BAG.
One of my favorite places to eat was the Red Onion. Was that in Inglewood? The Parody of Shall I Wasting in despair was done by another 75 Cougar with long red hair. Any guesses?

We're probably going to be out of town the weekend of the homecomming game but I sure hope you'll pick us up a couple of the Cougartown teeshirts..A XXXXL for me and a medium for Barb. I want to get one for her ( even though she was a "Seahawk" ) so maybe she'll quit wearing that "I'm With Stupid" one the seems to like so much....
See You Soon.....M.S.

Message: Thanks to all of you that have answered my former feedback. I wish I had known so many of you nice people when I attended Hawthorne. Though I had a few friends, most of what I had was ridicule. It is a great comfort to me to know that what I experienced is not what many of you felt or feel now. We all change as we grow older, for we experience more of the same things and become more understanding of others. Therefore, I appreciate you reading my negative thoughts and reacting in such positive, re-enforcing notes. I feel you have helped me put the past further behind me and given me happier times to look forward towards.
Marshall, All classes had people that they made fun of. It was cruel, but somehow we all outgrew that immaturity. You're a Cougar, and that's all that matters now. Welcome to Cougartown.

In the food market department, I used to be able to take a whole basket of food & stuff it in a single bag.Tomatoes on the bottom of course. The Deli was one of my favorites. On Sunday morning I would drive over to Lakewood to a bakery and get rolls for the sub sandwiches. They were so fresh I would eat a half a dozen before I got back to the deli. And who could forget Mike Stellino? He ran the liquor store. A friend of mine, Wayne Clements from Leuzinger... we would give Mike a couple of bucks and he would sell us a couple of 6 packs to get us through the night..Thanks for the memories, Frank.

I don't care to add anymore stress to your life, in view of your upcoming move, but (notice how that always seems to creep in there somehow)... you talked about a where are they now feature and, since it seems there is a fair amount of feedback looking for old buds, is it possible that it might take the form of screen such as this linked to a database (Access, etc.) that we could fill in the details (at least as much of them as is known) and anyone else who might have a clue could add to it until all were reunited. Just a thought. Do you have any web design gurus that could help, so you don't have to try to do it all alone. Not that there is anything wrong with that, your efforts are appreciated by all, without a doubt.

Message: I have read alot of memories from the 50's and 60's. What about the 80's and early 90's. Since our parents are remembering their High School years. I wanted to do the same for my generation. Do you remember.... Long straight feathered hair parted in the middle, parachute pants, those bright neon colors, how about Valley talk(gag me with a spoon, radd, awesome, totally dude, like you know), Dungeons and dragons, breakdancing. Then later in the 80's we all had BIG HAIR and TALL BANGS, perms, some sported lots of different colors and shaved heads, punk rock styles. Lots of great music like Bruce Springsteen and the E street band,Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, OMD, Depeche Mode, U2, Thompson Twins, Sting, Smiths, Run DMC, Two Live Crew, Vanilla Ice, Beastie Boys, MC Hammer, Boy George, Madonna, Bangles, Banannarama, Wham!, Cyndi Lauper, Stacy Q, Sammy Hagar, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Poison, David Lee Roth. The clothes were from Guess, Contempo, Bongo, Wet Seal, Levis, Remember those boots that went up to your knees or sometimes your thighs!, short skirts, and crop tops. Those movies were the best remember The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, Top Gun, Risky Business, St. Elmos Fire, Dirty Dancing, Back to the Future, Rainman, Beaches, Freddy Cruiger, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Platoon, all the Star Wars Movies. Molly Ringwald and Tom Cruise were always #1 in the Yearbooks. We can't forget the sad things too like the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster Jan, 1986. I will always remember that day because I was home with the chicken pox watching it on TV. The only thing good about that day was that I got to miss Finals. The early 90's was Desert Storm.
Well thats it from me. Let's hear more from the rest of you from the classes of the 80's and early 90'S. Hey John to you and the rest of our parents those times were probably the worst for you, you know since we were all teenagers. You know how teenagers can be!!!
Take care, I would love to hear from my friends so write more FEEDBACK okay.

Hi Risa, When I knew your dad, he had a Blue 64 Chevy and did like to street race. There was a guy named Bob Logan that had a 65 Chevelle Malibu. He didn't go to Hawthorne. Also Jerry Carron who had a 63 Dodge with a 426 wedge motor. That was the fastest car we had in our group. I had the white 58 Chevy at that time. Also ask him if he remembers a guy named Harry with a 55 Chevy with an Oldsmobile engine. It seems like your family at the time, lived on Acacia, on the north side of Imperial Hwy. Ask him if he remembers going to about 57th and Central. There was a Fosters over there; lots of black guys with fast cars. Those guys were fun street racers.

It's been suggested before. It's an extra cost to me every month from the hosting service. Not that all you Cougs aren't worth it, but I think we'll wait until the site is generating a little capital before we spend any more money.
I don't know that much about chat rooms, but aren't there sites that Cougs can go to now to "Real Time Chat"? AOL Instant Messenger is one and ICQ is another.

He does have a way of describing what is really meant by those elusive lyrics that are supposed to give us a warm fuzzy feeling. This song, however, could only get better with your rendition, John, although Bonnie Raitt was great as usual.
Beverly, first off, I hope you're feeling better today. I never did GET music appreciation. I only know what I like, AND that I like the song above. I thought it paralleled Angel of the Morning. Maybe not, but I'll be expecting your full 2 page single spaced report by tomorrow morning. Have fun.........

Message: Chris Prewitt, your recent post about yourself, Adrian, and the CO2 cartridges made me laugh. You said you didn't know how you survived your childhood. I don't know how I survived your childhood! Most of those errant propulsion devices ended up in my backyard. One hit a fencepost and left a perfect sideways impression, kind of redolent of Wile E. Coyote's cutout through a brick wall. Another went through our garage window without shattering it. Yet others cleared the block entirely and made it all the way to 132nd street when you were going for distance. But usually, you fired them up straight up and they came down a few feet west of Adrian's house, to wit, at the Mailander residence. There was always much danger in detaching matchheads from the sticks and cramming the heads into the cartridge--occasionally the friction would be to much and the missile would ignite prematurely. Such was childhood life in the shadow of the space program. Thanks for exposing me to pyrotechnics at an early age. I don't fear fire or rocketry, but I still fear teenage neighbors.
