Message: Today I went to the Juan Cabrillo School 50th year anniversary. While there I ran into the Wiseburn School District Superintendent Don Brann (c/o 63). It turned out that he was a neighbor from down on 129th Street. He was in contact with several of my former neighbors. Don is planning on being at homecoming and may possibly have Gerry Bierman (c/o 64) with him. Mr. Plotkin was there and was quite popular with many of the parents (his former students). There were only about a dozen cars from the 50's and 60's. John, Kermit would have been right at home with that group. Hawthorne police were there with their equestrian unit, a K9 unit and a motor cycle. The fire department had two trucks. There was a silent auction that included collector Barbies, T-shirts, baseball cards, Disneyland tickets, hot wheels and a lot more. There was a nostalgia corridor (where I hung out) with school photos from 1949 through the 70s, old reading books, milk bottles, clothes and photos from early Hawthorne. Lots of memories... See you all at homecoming.
I'm sorry I missed that one. It sounded like a great way to spend a Saturday.

Did any of the youngsters come up with the answer to why HALCAP field is named HALCAP? Traditions die slow but when they do they are gone and this one will stay with us forever.

Halcap was named after Hawthorne's first two Varsity Football coaches. Our own "Ol'Coach", Hal Chauncey and Dave Capelouto. These two guys led HHS to its first CIF Championship in 1954 (1955 grad year).

We saw many former students and current and former teachers, including Marie Gardener who was on the first staff in 1949. Marie is a young 98 years old and was interviewed by the local TV station-what a gal! I bumped into Chris Prewitt numerous times. He had with him 3 report cards from teachers at Cabrillo School and no matter how he begged the principal, Jane Comitz, and the superintendent, Dr. Don Brann they would not change his grades. Oh well, Chris, you can't win 'em all. Thanks for coming, Chris. It was nice seeing you. The Hawthorne Fire Dept. PD, mayor, and PD equestrian unit with two steeds were there. I spoke to the gentleman who is doing the T-Shirts and he said they should be ready by Wednesday. Also, He'll be mounted and at the homecoming game.
Kris and Bonnie: I waited until 1:30 for you. Soooo sorrrrry to have missed you. I did see Lupe, Terri, and Stacey with her new husband.

Mr. P, I thought of the Cabrillo Fair today, but was in the middle of doing a few things at the new place. So Mark was there playing with his horse huh. That guy never takes a day off.

Just how many shaves do you think the Old Coach got from one blade? It's got to be a record. In fact they should bronze it, and send it to the Band-Aid company for display with their other awards.
Hi Frank, They would bronze it, but they're still using it. Besides, if they had it bronzed, it'd probably made it sharper. Thanks Frank for the seat. I'll try to get a picture for you. BTW, I just heard that this seat put us over the 200 seat mark. Just a short hundred to go. Thanks to all who've been so helpful in donating to the Nyman Hall cause.

We had a mixed review of the dinners but Judy Degrazia, you know Judy you are so sweet in person your Ctown personna deserted you, (SERIOUS) recommends the Savory Burrito, Marsha Russell recommends the Savory vegetables? (I THINK) John and I recommend the mustard, Robin recommends the ketchup or if you prefer catsup, and my lovely wife not that Marsha and Judy are not; they are too, recommends the coffee. But we all are unanimous in our recommendation of the Degrazia Dessert cart but you won't find that at the Spot. It was fun and I would do it again EVEN at THE SPOT to enjoy each of your company! Thanks for dinner Robin, you are the Prince and yes Ted there is a Robin Hood.

I recommend the mustard WITH catsup, and just a hint of salt and pepper to taste. MAN, a cockroach would starve to death in that place. First we've got Robin, Jim and I...... that's a third of a ton of carniverous mammalia asking this 5 foot 4 inch 77 pound vegetarian waitress what's good!!!! That AINT gonna work right there. We three could have eaten her weight in ribs. Her recommending something that tastes like meat would be like Madonna teaching Quark Theory.

Have you noticed how Leeroy avoids the questions about the seats at homecoming? I think that since he ran out of fingers and toes to count on, he may have just given up on us and won't admit it! I think it is going to be every man/woman for themselves. If Leeroy doesn't save our seats like he said he would I think you should get the royal flogger to banish him from sitting in the cougartown section of the stands. This may sound a little harsh but he promised to save the seats.

Message: HOWDY!
My udder nefew sends me this note he's sos confus I can scarce know who he is. pehaps all youse folks like help hem unnerstan hisself.
Many, many years ago
When I was twenty-three,
I got married to a widow
Who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her,
And soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother,
For she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters more,
Althought it brought me joy,
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle,
Though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle,
Then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my stepmother.
Father's wife then had a son,
Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson,
For he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She's my grandmother, too.
If my wife is my grandmother,
Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it,
It simply drives me wild.
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa!
