Message: Sometimes this page really is quite a blast from the past! Sheryl Foster, if you would go back to my entry on page 77 I had mentioned my 67 Mustang and a very unfortunate incident that happened while it was minding it's own business parked in front of my home on 137th Place. I do believe you were driving the volkswagen that took out the drivers side of my car. I think it was you and another HHS student that hit each other and then you hit my car, if my memory serves me correctly. When I saw your name on the feedback page it brought it all back to me. I lived 2 doors down from the Biermans and it seemed like you were up the street towards the freeway. Anyway, just thought it was kinda funny and wanted to see if you remembered it too. Last week I had a mini reunion with some very good friends from High School. Heather Reoch/Ruggerillo thru a 40th b-day party for her hubby and I got to see Dale Hahlbeck, Mike Fells and his wife Debbie, and Rick Dupape. A goodtime was had by all! We will be getting together again for the homecoming game and Stick & Stein afterwards. I may just wait for you all at Stick & Stein as cold damp air & wooden benches do not work with my body anymore. Sheree

The picture of the Old Coach with those other gentlemen and the steaks is just great. I'm sure the "team" made quick work of those beauties. The chat room was fun.... I'll be looking forward to another visit. So many cougars from so many different decades.... That's really a hoot. JB.... I hope you enjoyed your day off. You should be doing more of that. Well, you should be doing something to make room for all of that "Heavenly Cake" arriving too as King it will be your responsibility to see that none goes to waste. Like it would without your help....ttfn, Frank
Hi Frank, Yes, I enjoyed the day, but WAS a little worried about you guys going into CT withdrawal. I see YOU made it through OK. I'm not sure about the rest of the crew though. The heavenly cake that's brought to the picnic, will be judged, then eaten (no contest) by ALL.

And there's a Bally's where we went grocery shopping next to the school!? Wow...... Still working on making it to Stick N Stein on the 15th.....

To everyone that has been asking about Mr. Morgan, I just finished talking with a friend whose mom still goes to Hawthorne Presbyterian Church. She said that Fred Morgan married a few years ago (his wife's name is Betty) and he is an associate minister of a Presbyterian Church in Santa Maria, CA. She was pretty sure that he was the hospital chaplain. She couldn't say which church in Santa Maria but there aren't that many. It's a really small world.
Anyone have a LARGE innertube we could borrow for the picnic???
Someone must have a buddy in a tire store, or some float tubes in their possession. If so, please let me or Kathy know. Thanks. This picnic is turning into the REAL DEAL. I just WISH I could divulge the things that are planned, but Susan would cut my throat if I said anything. I can only say that being there IS A MUST!! Bring your kids and your parents too.

You said you worked for FEMA, I took a few courses from FEMA on Disaster Preparedness when I coordinated the Disaster Plan for the Hawthorne School District. It is great to hear from you.
El Rojo (alias R.J.) I agree with you about the class of 1958. I don't remember a class with so many good athletes past or present. Up until my Junior year I lived on 136th Street right by Ramona School. Two doors East of my house was where Tommy Graves lived and across the street was where Ron and Rene Ostler lived. The Guys from the class of 1958 were always over at one of the two houses. As a Jr. High kid I was always hanging around. When these guys were Seniors some of them were lettering in four Varsity sports. Talk to you later. Thank God I was a Coug. R. Lord
The picture above is of Tom Morrison-TWA Supervisor; Mr Jack Leadbetter, one of the early teams greatest supporters, and our own Coach Hal Chauncey.
Mr Leadbetter promised the 1954 team, if they got to the playoffs, that he would fly Steaks in from Kansas City........The team kept their promise, and Mr. Leadbetter kept his. This is their arrival.

Tommie Graves, Rich Robinson, Charles LaRock, Bernie Armstrong, Dave Long. All these guys were good athletes. In one sport or more. They also went to CIF playoffs in all 3 sports, football, basketball, baseball! If i'm not mistaken.(i'm not really sure about baseball) I might be, but I think not. Also, several ran track and were quite good. John, the picture from the coach or whoever put it up is great! And yes I do recognize the other "Jake" in the picture. Thanks, and this is still fun. Can't wait to see some of the Coach's pictures. It will be a kick in the BUTT! One last thing for this round. Hi Tom and Diane Porter! Its a great thing that John Baker has done here, come and join the crowd. But Tom, I still remember your DAD coaching us in those fast pitch softball games at what became Hawthorne Park. I remember that we would all go to "Skippys Drive In" (I think it became the 1st McD's in Hawthorne) after the game and if you hit a "home run", your DAD would buy us a "malt"! Man those were good things. 11 cent french fries, and 15 cent burgers. Life was good (still is, as opposed to the alternative). Good to see your name's on the COUGAR name board.EL/ID. MAY THE COUGAR BE WITH YOU!
Russ, Skippys turned into Biggies, which turned into GNG's. It just looked like a McDonalds. Be good boy........
