Message: "Happy Birthday, John!" What happened to the Cougs playing Ingelwood? I was married to an Inglewood High bad guy (RIP 2016) and the Inglewood/Hawthorne games were always competitive times for us. I will be cheering soon for both the SeaHawks and the Rams! Just kidding...GO HAWKS! John, I will be sending you some newspaper articles featuring Cougs football, Dan Dye ("Hi, Dan!" Think we had Mr. Brown's History class together), '62 graduating class, Hawthorne Intermediate 8th grade class photos (John, you were so cute), and more. Anyone remember 6th grade trip to Camp Conrad? Bob Reagan, Nancy Brooks and Sherri Jones were there for sure, I have photos! Keep making memories Cougs!

Message: I saw the post about the water situation at athletic events at HHS and had to laugh. We had wet towels that we all shared and had to suck the moisture out of to try and rehydrate. Then the Coach's would tell you to take salt tablets to replace your salt content. They told us too much water would make us sick. And it seemed as though the football Gods knew when two and three a day practices were coming as it would be in the 90's or low Hun's. Nothing could have been more fun. It's a wonder we didn't have some cardiac arrests out there. But "we were Cougs"! MAY THE COUGAR BE WITH YOU! JAKE AND JUDE My belated Love.

Message: I just noticed that John Pritchard posted my photo on Aug 1, announcing I completed the 202-mi bike ride in Cleveland to raise money for cancer research. Thank you, John, for contributing to my donation goal. For you cycling fans, the man I'm posing with is Dave Zabriskie, who won the U.S. National Time Trial Championship seven times, and wore the yellow jersey in the 2005 Tour de France for four days! It was exciting to get to meet and ride with such a famous ex-pro, who now lives and rides in SoCal. He signed my jersey and accepted a copy of my book! If anyone wants to help the fight against cancer (for research @ Cleveland Clinic), I still am short of my (mandatory) goal to raise $2000. Plz consider a donation at my page

Message: Hey, hey, hey guys! Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated - and that ain't Mark Twain saying it this time. I am indeed alive and well after just returning from a visit with my family down in the South Bay. Had an ominous voicemail this evening from good friend Tom Barnett checking on me and when I returned the call, he, and I, were both relieved to know I'm still here! Despite having a very common name, we couldn't even find my name in any recent online obituaries or much less, from Chico area. Nice to "feel the love" and all, but after the same thing happened to Tim Lyons last month, can we all try harder to confirm these types of reports before posting? Or at least ask in a post if anyone else can confirm someone's passing vs. stating as fact. Would make it a bit easier on our friends and family. Thanks for the very touching comments and you all stay well!

Message: Well, tomorrow, Jan and I will be heading out to Sonoma for a weekend of wine tasting at the wineries, then when we get that expensive bottle home, we'll save it for a celebration, and then we'll pop out the rum and make Pina~Coladas till we drop. We're planning to do our return heading through Downieville. Heard there's only one stop light and the boys sit around the barber shop and make heavy bets on who will time them just right and get through without hitting the brakes. (sorry Gordon, couldn't pass it up.) We'll see you all there. I'm showing up with no makeup on, so have your camera ready JB...if you're lucky I'll wash my hair. I'm going to do anything I want to do as I'll still be 69 for a couple more months and I've always heard that when you hit 70 you have to act your age. J
