I was at a picnic this past Saturday with my friend Cindy, her family and alot of Lancers from Leuzinger. This is a picture I took and wanted to share of some other cougars who were there. L to R, Steve Fraser , Chuck Currie, Me, Cindy and our very own Robin Hood. Yes this is the real Robin, not a super imposed one and notice he is not staring at any one's posterior. Steve I really enjoyed seeing you after all these years, Chuck always a pleasure and Robin what can I say..:o) See you all at homecoming ...Angel K
Are you sure that's not touched up?? I think he still looks a little young. In fact you ALL look too young. Thanks Karen........

I haven?t heard from you in awhile are you still keeping track of the seats? With close to 300 alumni in attendance and parents and students I do want to make sure that I will have a seat in which to sit. I am going to make a trip to Cabrillo school this Saturday. If you need anything let me know and I will make a side trip to drop off water, a hat or a jacket if you need one (sorry but I can?t get you one of those CT T-shirts). There is a Goodwill store near where I live and I feel that since you are saving the seats I should spare no expenses! I found some of my old grade cards from Cabrillo and they are fun to read. I didn?t realize what a pest I was (am)! I will bring my old grade cards in case some of the teachers from yesteryear are going to be at the school and would like to remember whom I am...
Yes LeeRoy, How's the seat saving going? Are you and Beulah still camped out in the stands?? Let us hear from you once in a while.

Message: It is my pleasure as a trained and sometime art historian to comment on the Cougar T-shirt design. The woody, significantly, is rendered in a rigorous scientific perspective that recalls the early Renaissance, particularly Brunelleschi. It could easily be driving off into St. Mark's Square; the inference is that this is a classical, high-water-mark time, which many think their high school days were. There is also a bit of deliberate archaizing, what with the choice of a woody itself, and the shape of the surfboards, and I find this also satisfying, for it links the work to the style of Coors and Miller beer T-shirts in the early 70’s, an all important link. The Beach Boys song titles, however, are very much in step with today’s artworld; as subliminal leitmotif to the escapist nature of the woody speeding away, they suggest work of early text-dependent conceptual artists, who were flourishing in the 60's and 70's. I found the palm-and-plumeria motif more indigenous to the flora of Hawaii than of Hawthorne, but nonetheless subconsciously surf-oriented and therefore acceptable; definitely the yellow stripe down the middle and the road motif establishes the work emphatically in Southern California. In fact, the flattening of the road into an ascending, perspectiveless plane, making it more of an abstract than realist event, recalls the master Richard Diebenkorn himself, in particular the Ocean Park series, which further weds the work to the Los Angeles beach area. All in all, a masterpiece. I was in Paris just last week and I did not see anything there to rival it.
I think I recall reading where Brunelleschi owned a 47 Ford Woody also.
There you go folks.......right from the mouth of Ctowns own crack "T-shirt" art critic. After that review, I might have to jump the price a little. I personally thought the art lacked a Double Cheese with Fries.

Of course, all of us still look the same and haven't changed a bit! :) The amazing thing is how the past 25 years or so can vanish in just a few hours. Jan and Art, it was wonderful seeing you guys again and I thank you for the hospitality and I hope to get back together with you soon. Art went to Morningside, but he can be an honorary Coug!
