For those who were at the first Good Neighbors Day, they will remember one kick ass concert they gave. Hope some Cougars plan to go. I know we will be there.

Message: I attended the first varsity football game of the season Friday night. It was Hawthorne vs. Lynnwood and I called multiple alumnae to go with me but nobody had the guts to go see a game in the "hood" I had a gut feeling it would be o.k. so I went. Lynwood is in between Watts and South Gate. I was impressed when I arrived to find a beautiful new campus, a new stadium and a three story lighted parking structure adjacent to the stadium. The current edition of Cougar football showed little sign of life at all. No stand out athletes and no big plays. At the half it was 14-0 and I would have stayed for the rest of the game if there was any hope. I was home asleep at 11:00 and the phone rang. It was one of my track athletes who plays defensive end thanking me for coming and confirming we were beat badly. I think it is going to be another long year for Cougar football this year! I talked to our cheerleaders because they are trying to follow the game and only cheer "touchdown,"touchdown" when we are on offense!

Message: Anyone know the whereabouts or what happened to Craig Arthur (CAPPY) Poore, class of 1962 or Pat Defuge, class of 1962. They were my old friends from 117th St. Haven't seen or heard from Cappy since the 1962 - 20 year reunion at The Hop. Haven't seen or heard a thing from or about Pat since he bought my '49 Chevy, 2 door, Deluxe Coupe, painted '58 Impala Phanthom Blue Metallic with super loud pipes which got me many tickets.

Message: Regarding class-mates we have lost, I was told that Lee Glaze (1969) was murdered by a patient. The story was that Lee went to medical school in his late 20's and ended up working as a psychologist for a government agency working with paroled criminals. One of them told him too much, and decided he had to kill Lee. Really sad, Lee was a really good guy and is missed.

Message: Backup story: We were forced to take the BD bottle of wine into the shee shee ala poo poo steak house in Reno. We paid a $35. uncorking fee to "test it for you." Who knows, it could have been poisoned. The good news is, it was untainted, but the bad news is that it wasn't as good as it should have been for the King of CT so we saved you the heartache of finding that out the hard way. The way I figure it, you owe me a note of gratitude for taking a chance of losing my life, and the 35 bucks for the uncorking fee. How's that.

Message: We just got home. Many thanks again to Glenn Crist for his hospitality and boundless energy in making this trip another big success... What a wonderful friend. Also, Leo Ainsworth gave us your BD bottle of wine...Howeeeeverrrr.. right there, driving through Chowchilla, (home of the woman's state prison) an escapee named Large Marge held us up in a Subway..and demanded we hand over all our wine...we did and she took yours as well. I usually have more fight in me but she tied Jan's hands with her support hose and swore she'd strangle him with her brassiere if we didn't fork it all over.. Then she hijacked a Subaru and high tailed it to Downieville. I have a back-up story if that didn't work..

Message: Hey John! Not a Cougar Sighting but it is a small world. My Grandkids and Great Grandkids took me to dinner Tuesday. The waitress asked if it was a special occasion. I told her no it was just a family gathering since I just moved here from California. She asked where? I told her from San Jose but I was born & raised in Hawthorne. She said she knew exactly where that was. She just got back from there last week. She visits there 2 or 3 times a year. I asked if her friends went to Hawthorne schools she said NO. I was going to tell her about Cougartown but she was very busy. I will next time. Sounds like Glenn did his usual excellent job of showing everyone a great time(except you). Hope all has been fixed. Keep up the good work keeping us all together. Miss Ya All!
