Hi Don, Nice to meet you and yes please come to as many events as you can. I hope you saw some old friends and made new ones, as that's what Ctown's all about.

You're right Cheryl, that earthquake wasn't centered under Halcap field, but was actually triggered by elated Cougs. I wish you and John could have been here too. This was the best one yet......

I saw so many former students at the stick and stein. I hope I didn't miss anyone. It was an overwhelming experience to realize I had touched so many lives. I am humbled and I love you all. The VFW breakfast was fun and good.(John had dark green SOS[you are a good sport, John]). I discovered that Mom B and my current neighbor are lomg time friends. John, please send me Bill Ashdown's address so I can send him pictures of his mother's seat and plaque. I have not yet "come down" from such a glorious weekend.
Love to all, HCH
Thanks Mr. P, My sentiments exactly. I'm still floating after the last 3 days. Tired, but elated that it came off so smoothly and proud to be a Coug!!!! I wouldn't trade one person I met this weekend for a hundred dollar bill.
Yes, I guess Loren Heath HHS64, had heard me complaining about the drab, colorless SOS at the VFW last month, so he made me a "Special SOS Plate" this morning. Thanks Loren, lots better this month and there will be pictures.

Message: A very heartfelt thanks to (first) Susan Walling for organizing and setting up the picnic (on about two hours sleep!). It was fantastic and Susan deserves at least a blue ribbon and a pat on the back for her accomplishment! And (second) to John Baker for inventing this group and egging everyone on until they complied! You must have majored in rabble-rousing, John :-). And (third, but never least) to everyone else who helped set up the picnic (Eddie c/0 88 and Patty c/o 90), Joyce (selling shirts), Kathy (selling memberships) and everyone else -- where would the day have gone without you? It's hard to believe you did all this for Dave and me so we could have a nice day in the park during our trip to LA and play games and then WIN ALL THE PRIZES :-).
Laura and Dave, Thank for making the trek to be with your peers. Yes, Laura and Dave made off with lots of very expensive Ctown prizes. I think one of the big ones was a Cougartown gunny sack. That one hurt.....

Thanks Jim, I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with you and your father, and finally meeting your family. You've got lots to be proud of in your Hawthorne roots.
I say amen to having another Picnic in the park, but let's leave out the part where I think I'm Bill Sloey in his prime OK. I found out the hard way that my football days are WAAAAY behind me and if the truth be known, I was just out there to impress our beautiful mid 70's class cheerleaders.

Hi Frank, The penance shall be to have the Daily Breeze "Cold Callers" call at least 4 times a day to inquire if our "Daily Breezer" would like to subscribe to said rag. This shall go on until Hawthorne and Long Beach Poly meet once more, on the Coliseum gridiron floor for the CIF Championship, and Hawthorne wins by at least 24 points.
I heard an unofficial report at the game on Friday, that Bill is on the mend. Get well Bill; we need you back in Cougartown.

Don't forget those Cougartown Heavenly Chocolate Cakes for our bake-off! There is parking available on three sides of the El Segundo Rec Park.

Thanks Susan, I will add that if you enter the parking lot off of Pine and look to your right, we are right there in the BBQs and the trees. It IS a gorgeous park.

Message: I have a confession to all you LEEROY fans. Some of you I have confided in that I am Leeroy Felderruster, and those of you I have not I know John has. One problem, I must confess, I AM NOT LEEROY! AND I DO NOT KNOW WHO HE IS OR SHE IS FOR THAT MATTER. The day he hit the Cougartown, I got an email from leeroyfe@yahoo.com asking for my help. He or she wanted ok it, wanted some diversionary help so would I drop a line to a few people that I was LEEROY. The next day or so John sent LEEROY a note wanting some help with Dorsey high school web site so it sent me a copy of the note and said I should respond to John so we could reel him in, sorry John, So to make it really look like him he gave me the password from his yahoo account and I sent a Leeroy message that was not a LEEROY message saying that I would help. John responded it is you or something like that and i sent another to the affect that yes it was me. on occasion Leeroy has received notes from some of you some he has responded to and some I have but not using the LEEROY language, (is it really Joe Mailander? before you say no Joe, look at your first entry). Well I have not heard from Leeroy in a few weeks and have emailed him daily soooo my point is whoever you are if you are still out there now is the time to unmask yourself and tell us who you are. I have tried to get into the email address again but apparently he has changed its password. Perhaps it is a Valencia? Who knows. Sorry John.

Sounds like another night at Pinks! First in ten, second in twenty, third in thirty go team! Robin? Are you really down here or what? And lastly John I am udderly embarrassed about how you made such a boob out of yourself about Judy's surgery. Some things we should not make light of, but rather stay abreast of the latest developments that may bust upon the current events scene rather than fondle your lustful desires with innuendos. It has rather put a damper on our friendship and I was beginning to consider us bossom buddies John. Row row row your canoe....
Did you just denounce me as your friend?? Was that "Double D Diatribe" meant for ME?? I am flattened by your flat, chesty, comments. I really expected more of a voluptuousness in your tone, but guess I'll have to live with those pointed, heaving, words that I expected to be more perky. Oh well, I'll still have the mammaries of our titillating friendship.
The jugs of our friendship will, however, be lost forever; much like a Judy Degrazia training bra.

Status on surgery......"I had pancakes for breakfast, with little blueberries"....
Not unlike something else she has now..........That's great, I know all of you are just "Busting" to send her an electronic greeting card, so please go here or here and pick out something really "Bubbly" to send her.
