How are you? I could never forget my first car accident..I was driving down 137th pl., when Julie ??? the young gal who lived across from you, I think.. pulled her lovely blue Pinto into my cool V.W. squareback and sent me smashing into your very cool Mustang... I was very sad that I had to hit your car, it was the nicest car on the block. How is that for memory? I hope all is well with you! Are you still living in the Los Angeles
Area? Are you married with children? Send me an e-mail sometime, it would be great to catch up.
Don Di Tommasso, Thank you for your e-mail. We are enjoying Whidbey Island very much, it is beautiful as you know. We are not affiliated with the Navy Base here.. We live on the south end of the island. We have some other friends that moved here before us, that is how we found this place..
Next time your visiting let us know.. T.T.F.N Sheryl

And as I said before, the HAM and MOTHER......S were to be reckoned with as well...which was worse I have no idea...who said there was a moral problem in the military? And I wonder why! Do you think you could serve up a dish or two of that on the 17th? Hmmm, boy, love those limas. I'll be sure to remain here in Arkansas on that day...maybe go look for some armadillo road kill...could make for a tasty meal...maybe send you some samples...just push it off as "mystery surprise"!

Patty, Ted, Don and I certainly aren't the only ones who got more than traditional Latin instruction in Mr. Garza's classes. I remember having a fun reading stories in Latin that weren't in the text book, including a great werewolf story. Now how often do you hear the words "Latin" and "fun" used in the same sentence. I also recall that in my Senior year, he invited the students from the Latin III/IV class to his house for a little get together.

Message: Hey John,(great picture)I know there is not much color to the SOS, but it is milk gravy. At least my SOS has flavor. Jan Blomsterberg should remember back in the Corp. the cooks used dirty socks for flavoring. Remember, it's not the looks but that good home cooking taste. Of course I cook with TLC and I'm not cooking for over a thousand troops either.
I just had a great thought, It's about time??? What a great weekend, the football game Fiday night, the picnic on Saturday and breakfast at the VFW on Sunday. If we don't get sick of each other by then we never will. Just think, nobody has to cook. (except me) ugh!!! For any one interested, let's plan to meet at 10:00AM again for breakfast. For those who do not know the address, Hawthorne V.F.W. @ 4563 W. 131st Street (Top of the Hill) The highest point between P.V. and Baldwin Hills. Hope to see you all there. This is not intended to be an advertisement, just thought it would be a great way to finish off a great weekend without spending a lot of money.
Thanks Loren, Yes, I think we can muster a few Cougs for breakfast on Sunday morning the 17th at the VFW, Then it's off to HHS for the 2pm Nyman Hall reception. If you want to see your Nyman Hall seat, please plan on being there, and if you're going to be at the Nyman Hall dedication, please email your RSVP to nymanhall@cougartown.com and let us know how many will be attending. Thank you all.......

But I have had those "happy" doctors appointments too. But as the good doctors try and make me warm and trusting, I remind them that it was my heart not my brains that they transplanted.... Yo!

Message: George,
Now, let me get this straight....
You want me to drink a giant pitcher of Margaritas, buy King John a beer, and shoot my lawyer full of arrows while spouting poetry?
Does this mean you're volunteering to be my defense attorney?
I think I'll stick to my original idea for penance and let King John know I mailed a check today to restore a Nyman Hall seat. I am so very sorry to hear that Mr. Goodfellow is ill, as I am sure he would readily have volunteered to be a witness for my defense.
How is Elizabeth Goodfellow? Does anyone know what year Mr.Goodfellow began instruction at HHS, and when he retired? I enjoyed those Friday afternoons we played charades in his classroom, especially since Mary Burt and I always won....
Does anyone else remember driving up those curving Hollywood hills for breakfast at the Goodfellows? I believe the class of 74 chose to arrive at 3AM in order to outdo the class of 73 that chose to go a day earlier than they were invited?
Just one last question....
George who did you say you were wrestling with those sleepless nights? :)

Carol, Here's a picture of Bill Goodfellow taken from the 1952-53 book (HHS opened in 1951), so he goes back BEFORE the first grad class in 1954.

Robin, I was very happy to see the final score of the USC/Oregon game. When I got home and turned on the TV to see the final score and the game was not over at 11:30 because it was in double overtime, I just knew it was going to be a good ending! Go Ducks!

Message: HERE'S A FEEL GOOD STORY!...I had a funny experience yesterday (Wednesday). I had to go to the dentist for a check-up...I absolutely haaate dentists :o( but, that could change, and you'll see why. The technician comes in to take the x-rays, looks at me (and for safety reasons) asks, "Are you pregnant?" I said NOOOOO, to which the technician says "well, your young" to which I laughed and said "How old do you think I am?" The response was "about 35". While I was laughing, they turned and looked at my chart... and smiled. I said, "If I was, one, it would be an Immaculate Conception and two, I would sue my doctor!" Needless to say, I had a hard time trying to get my head through the office door to leave....but it was a GOOD pick me up :o) !!!! So I guess dentists aren't all bad! WHO IS THIS?

If this works like I hope, you'll be hearing a lot from me on this page.
Hi Lorny, Yes, it works just fine. You are now OFFICIALLY in the club. Ironic too, since I just put the pic of your Gray SOS up. Loren, at least try a little food coloring in that stuff. It resembles something that has already been eaten.

Message: Come'on Cougars, let's see some more contributions for the Nyman Hall seat honoring Ray Garza. Mr. Garza was with HHS from its very first year, until long after I graduated -- so I can't believe that there are only three of us interested in this project. (Thanks, by the way, to Don Di Tomasso and Sharon Badger MacDonald, for your contributions!)
I could never list all the things I owe Ray Garza! But let me name a few. He showed me how to say "The farmers love the poets" in Latin. (Someday I will meet a Roman gladiator on the street, and be able to use this great conversation-opener.) He let Joe Mailander read the New Yorker during class time. He taught both of us the difference between an incubus and a succubus -- at a time when society was much less open-minded about such tawdry nocturnal affairs than it is now. (Whew! I am starting to sound like Joe Mailander these days.) He made me memorize a passage from Ovid in Latin, that I used to dazzle a Latin scholar at Oxford University ten years later (long story there, better saved for another time). He showed a whole generation of HHS students the coolest movie ever about the Odyssey -- even better than the classic "Johnny Lingo" movie that was a crowd-pleaser at Nyman Hall films. Above all, he handed out hall passes and library passes like they were candy! I could go on and on.
Step up to the plate, Cougs. Let's see some more "pecuniam" (Latin for green stuff, folks) dedicated to Ray Garza.
Ettu Ted, I Clavdivs and all that other Latin (not hispanic) Jazz.
YES!!! Please you Ray Garza nuts out there. Mr. Garza had to be one of the most popular teachers on campus for decades. He was brilliant, and now it's your turn to grace him with a seat in Nyman Hall. Let's see some dinero (other latin language) for Ray Garza.
Also, Alex DeLAo. Band Members.......pleeeeeze, what IS the problem? Do NOT think you're going to hand me a 10 dollar bill at the Homecoming game for his seat. It will be entirely too late. It's getting close now. Please send your seat contributions TODAY and I will hand carry them to HHS.
Thanks and pro bono to you all.

Hey Frank, Patty V is way off, but thanks for the guess. Speaking of the Boys Locker room. Does anyone remember how slippery that floor was in there. OSHA woulda' had a field day. How about snapping towel fights. Also, how many HHS towels did you end up with AT HOME by the end of the school year??
