Message: Paco...four, five and six lots west of Johnny Arnold's yard were vacant lots until the late 50's when three new homes were built. These lots may be the lots Gary is remembering. The Arnold's lot was big but I don't remember many of us playing in his yard as most of us were afraid of their dog, Cross, even though the dog was behind a fence. I remember us kids calling out to the Arnold house to come retrieve an errant ball that made its way into their yard. We weren't very brave back then; bravery only came when we rode our bikes recklessly down the hill on 132 Street, east and west of Ramona, heading to Phil's Bike Shop. Many skinned knees and elbows from some awesome crashes on that hill! I also remember playing in a vacant lot close to Bobby Bausman's house on 129 Street...a lot where I stepped on a nail that punctured my Keds and finding its way into my foot. Who would have guessed that that nail could have been an early version of a pungi stick, something some of us were in fear of fifteen years later. Great memories of childhood and our block on 132 Street.

Message: Just felt compelled to comment on the recent passing of Steve Fisher ('71) Although five years older than me I met Steve on a number of occasions. Steve was the kind of guy who made you proud to say you went to HHS. Highly successful and respected in his field, Steve maintained his karate studio on Inglewood Ave. through good times and bad in Hawthorne. He helped countless people and is a huge loss to the alumni of HHS. RIP Steve.

Believe they'll get there in SB '51 if QB Wilson plays from the start as he did in the ProBowl waiting around for the fourth quarter to make winning plays nearly gives me a heart attack!

Message: Okay, I'll answer my own question for all of you excited Rams football fans. There's a 1.86 billion stadium project in the works for Inglewood CA for the Rams to be built by 2019. In the meantime, the Rams are scheduled to play at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum which is operated by USC. The decision for the Raiders or Chargers to join the Rams in L.A. still hasn't been determined. It will cost the taxpayers in San Diego to keep their Chargers. Die hard Rams fans will want to save their flight travel miles, since the Rams have a scheduled game against the Giants in London at Twickenham Stadium. My Seattle Hawks are happy they won't be traveling to "cold" Saint Louis Missouri to play the Rams. So....please give my Hawks a great big Cougar welcome when they beat the Rams in L.A., okay?

Message: From the Long Beach Press Telegram: Hawthorne singer-songwriter Emitt Rhodes makes brilliant return 43 years later heard from Emitt Rhodes 43 years ago, when he released his fourth solo album, Farewell to Paradise. The longtime Hawthorne resident's sterling solo work, as well as his tenure as leader of 1960s hit makers The Merry-Go-Round of You're a Very Lovely Woman and Live fame, have made him a cult figure over the decades. Producer Chris Price hooked up with Rhodes in 2013, and encouraged him to record again. Rhodes, who famously played all the instruments on both of his solo albums, recruited a batch of terrific musicians for Rainbow Ends, which comes out Friday.

Here's a drink from the past some of you may recall, the Orange Julius that was sold in shopping malls and tastes like the 50/50 ice cream bars sold in the late fifties at York School (or, creamsicles as they are called now). Need; 6 ounce can of frozen orange juice concentrate, 1 cup milk, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 8 ice cubes. Place in a blender and blend. Pour into a glass and enjoy. Super Bowl "51" Win! Go Hawks!

If I lived closer I would volunteer to help, I know some of the people on the last reunion would like to help, we just need a leader.

By the time we got through the tunnel it was 21/14, when we reached the car it was 21-21 and, as we pulled out onto the street, the Rams won 28-21.

Back in the day that's all we had, no Dodgers, Lakers or Kings. We did have the Stars, Angels, and SC. Also remembers taking the streetcar with Kenny, Bobby and Billy or a father taking us, it was almost as much fun trying to find cheap parking, mostly on someone's lawn.. I'm really happy, any stories?
