Message: What a surprise to open Cougartown this morning and read of Don Burns passing. Don and I skated at Westchester and Redondo Beach from the mid 50's. It was always great seeing and talking with him at all our CT events. My thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and family.

I, for one would be there even on December 25th. But I cannot tell a lie, I wouldn't miss my 53rd wedding anniversary for anything, no matter how much I love Cougartown.....

Message: John: A few months ago you were wondering what happened to all the old trophies from the trophy cases. Last week I stopped to say hi to principal Newell and a quick walk revealed the old trophies sitting in Nyman Hall in the cardboard boxes we used to transport them back to Mark Newell. The new trophy cases in the Administration building are nearly full, mostly with band trophies from the past five years.

Message: Hey Dennis, interesting question. I'm not a big movie buff so I cheated and looked it up. Actually his first movie was an uncredited role as a poolroom kid in "These Wilder Days" starring James Cagney, 1956. (Alhough he had done some small T.V. roles in 1955). But I think the one you are going for is "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" 1957. Interesting that "...Werewolf" should be his first movie. He shares my birthday; October 31st...Halloween!

Message: Doesn't anyone here know their sci-fi? WOTW is not about Godzilla. It is those creepy goose-necked creatures with the heat rays that disintegrate people when they are struck by them. It is one of the creepiest sci-fis ever. L.A. was under attack and then the world, and not even bombs dropped by Flying Wings could penetrate their force fields. Finally, as people file into church to await the end, the Martian ships start crashing because the creatures could not withstand our viruses and bacteria and started dying off. WOTW was also the radio show where Orson Welles narrated the story and had half the country in a panic.
