Message: Cougar sighting, this afternoon, at Armstrong theatre. Ushered for "Music Man Jr", and Gene Guiterrez (Class of '63) was there! We had a nice chat. Also, Happy Birthday Corliss. Was reminiscing about when you danced with Maximillian Schell at the Academy Awards, the year we attended, in 1962! Saw him in "Judgment at Nuremberg", last night. You remember he got "Best Actor" for that. Best, Linda Huthmaker/1963

Message: Jim Sloey - guess you're enjoying Nebraska football this year. Clark, I wouldn't be raising kids in this day and age for all the money in the world, but I'm happy that my grands are enjoying the good life in rural communities. Economics hurt us, too, but we're close enough to larger cities for the extras like malls, theaters, etc. As long as Tyson Foods and four other major industries stay open, this small town will survive. People from a 40 mile radius drive in daily to work here, too. But, I don't know if we'll survive the Razorback season if things keep going like the past two games have. LOL. Early Thanksgiving wishes to everyone and PLEASE get out and vote!

Message: My grandfather died when I was a senior (64) . I drove his car until I got drafted. My dad sold it while I was in the Army. We never got along too good. He also threw away my baseball cards, some from the 50's. It seems to me that guys of our generation fall in love with our first cars. This one is actually a nicer version of my grandfathers car. I got it from a widow in Ohio. I know it's not collectible, or a classic, but I love it.

Apparently Clark was too involved in taking down names of people who attended the games and were former Cougars. He was heard to say as he was leaving, that should be enough to keep Sloey quiet for years! He also left before half time wishing to beat the crowd at Bob's Big Boy.

Message: Cougar sighting #2,488! I think I'm finally getting the knack of finding older Cougs! Last night I met Lorraine Shue, HHS '64 at the AMC Rolling Hills theatres. She said she was aware of Cougartown and with a little coaxing I think she'll be at the next Cruise Night. New blood at Cruise Night, what an idea! I love the same old crowd but a few new faces would be fun.

Message: On the other side of the Sierra from King's, I just attended the annual Lone Pine Film Festival. The westerns made in the adjacent Alabama Hills by Audie Murphy were featured this year. The festival may be one of those life experiences that is interesting once, like jury duty. My family went most every summer to the Bishop area in the 50s and 60s. South Lake up Bishop Creek borders King's Canyon. It was an affordable family vacation after summer school and before the new school year. It sure was a change from L.A.

The Total Solar Eclipse will go right over your area in Oregon [Albany, Ore. is almost center] on Aug. 21, 2017........also goes thru Idaho, Wyoming, on thru Kansas City, Nashville, and into South Carolina.........I hope I get to see it somewhere........ maybe in Idaho, if I'm able....... [Warning: EVERYONE.....PLEASE wear protective lenses, designed for viewing the sun !!!]. [For those of you Cougars from St. Joseph's, I still remember Father Royer with his telescope showing us the partial eclipse in Hawthorne back in the late 60's] Steve and I used to hang out, and play marathon games of RISK! back in 1971, or 1972..... at both of our houses ....always wondered what happened to you..... take care Cougars. PS....Cougars: If you miss this total eclipse, there will be another one in the USA in Oct.14, 2023 , again in Oregon [south of Albany, ORE.], but then into Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Texas; and the last one in 2024, thru Texas, Ohio, and New York....after that, No more in the USA for a very, very long time!!!!

Message: Jim Ward, who recently passed away, was a buddy of mine growing up. On of the high points of our 50 year reunion was reconnecting with him. He, J. B. Schroeder and and I sat up past 2 a.m. talking one evening. I hadn't seen him in the previous 50 years. The Rae Lakes loop in King's Canyon was special to all of us. The 8mm films were (as far as I know) were last in the possession of the Ritchies. I really hope they still exist. Jim's father, Bill, was one of the adults on that trip. Our first camping spot was Paradise Meadows. I had washed my boot socks in the river and was hanging them over a branch when someone said 'Glenn there's a snake.' I jumped straight back and it started to rattle. The meadow was alive with mice, hence snake heaven. The snake was dispatched with an axe. That night, a horrifying scream came. Flashlights aimed that direction, Bill emerged from his sleeping bag, post haste, and shaked it out. It was a mouse that had been crawling around at his feet. I hiked the Sierra for years, but that trip is etched in my memory as the finest.

Message: I am hoping someone can help me get ahold of any of the Ritchie family. There were four brothers, Craig, Chris, Mike and Mark, all of whom graduated from HHS. They lived at 5541 W 123rd Place just off of Aviation in Del Aire. Craig graduated in 1965 and at the last contact I had with him, he was living in Colorado. He passed away shortly after that, I understand. I believe his brothers are still living. Mike holds heritage track and cross country records at HHS. I am trying to track down 8mm movie film of our 1959 King's Canyon High Sierra (Rae Lakes Loop) trip. Thank you in advance for any help you might provide.
