Also, what is the prize if we win? ") John, you should have a new name....I'm not sure what it should be, but you should have a new one. Anyone who can put away 6 chili cheese dogs in one sitting should have a new name! And that's all there is to it!
You mean like PORKY??. I think you can vote once a day on the "Favorite Site Page".

Hi Lora, this is Sharon replying to your E-Mail to my sister Vickie. I certainly do remember you from Hawthorne Intermediate School! I especially remember when I came to your house a couple of times after school to hang-out. Do you remember those awful relay races during P.E.? The reason I remember those was because you were always the fastest runner, literally a lightning bolt! Those were the good old days, huh? Do you remember Tina Arias? She was one of my best friends at the time and if you didn't know, her older sister (I think her name is Maria or Mary?)is now the wife of former Beatles George Harrison. Yup! it's really true. I guess Hawthorne has had it's share of famous celebrities in their own right too! As for me, I'm working in Downtown L.A. for an Investment Consulting company. I'm happy and doing good. Well, it's great to hear from you again, hope you and your family are happy, healthy and well. Take good care and keep in touch!

It's been a long time since we have seen each other, but I haven't forgotten you. Thank's again for the memories, it truly was a fun time and all you kid's were great.

Message: Regarding South Bay music venues. First and foremost was the Smokestack on the Esplanade in Recondo Beach (now the site of a Crowne Plaza Hotel, or something similar) -- what a place! 21+ upstairs, all ages downstairs and the bands rocked really hard!! Next door was the Sweetwater, country and blues -- hard to believe. Later, the Smokestack turned into the Fleetwood and became the premier punk venue in the region and host to culture clash (hippie/rocker v. punker) Let's not forget the Raintree -- RIP -- great hard rock/metal club at a strip mall near Bishop Montgomery High. Anybody remember these spots? Question for you 60s/early 70s Cougs -- my Pink Floyd gig guide mentions that they played in the early 70s at a place called "The Bank" in Torrance, California. I've never heard of this place -- have you? Anybody catch the Floyd show there? Anybody see any other bands there?

Message: JB and Debra Lee McGregor,
Just signed on and saw all the pix from the big night at Pinks. You all look like you are having too much fun and those chili dogs look just disgustingly yummy. I hope someday I'll be able to reunion with ya'll and show you some Texas ROWDY. Debra, you sure haven't changed too much from the way we were but of course we all look the same right? SURE! Since I only found the cougar web just a month ago I am still getting caught up on all the feedback from last year! so pardon me if I regress from time to time and comment on stuff you already have talked about. For instance, I was saddened to read of House of Raymond burning and of Hollys being torn down. Both of those were my mom and dads favorite places to eat. I savor some great memories of eating there with my family before football games or after church on Sundays. I was also informed by my ex. David Bridgwater that they have closed the mall for remodeling. Gee, I remember when the mall wasn't even there and my buds and I had to take the bus up Hawthorne Blvd. to shop in Inglewood. Oh, I am so homesick!!! Some day I'll get out there, it has been almost ten years since I have been back. Keep the reunions coming and hopefully I'll show up at one. Thanks for being here, cougartown.
Hi Liz, Yes, the House of R and Hollys are gone. The word I have is the Mall is OUT. They're talking about putting a school on the corner of 120th and the Bl., but who knows.
Yes, we had a great time and Debra fit right into this nuthouse group too. She had the longest drive (Lancaster) and was the first one there. Maybe you'd like to set the record for the longest run to Pinks. I think Amarillo is farther than Lancaster. Thanks Liz .........

In a pinch, I worked there taking care of the acts and serving up that "wine cocktail" stuff. Had the privilege of partying with Arlo, Janis Joplin, the Byrds, Hugh Masekela, Nitty Gritty, and on and on....all those people that either died or faded away after the LOVE SEASON of America! OK, fess up, who did I serve there?? JB(definitely, the "other" one)
Not me.... I was in Inglewood, bouncing at Mothers on Arbor Vitae. Some pretty good bands in that place too. Cream (after Clapton) and Steppenwolf, just to name a couple.

Message: Twas the night before Christmas! He lived all alone, in a one bedroom house made of Plaster and Stone. I had come down the chimney with presents to give, and to see just who in this home did live. I looked all about, a strange sight to see, no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree, no stocking by the mantle, just boots filled with sand, on the wall hung pictures of far distant lands. With medals and badges, awards of all kinds, a sober thought came through my mind. For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly. The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone, curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home. The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder, not how I pictured a United States Soldier. Was this the hero of whom I'd just read? Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed? I realized the families that I saw this night, owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight. Soon around the world the children would play, and grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas day. They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year, because of the soldiers, like the one lying here. I couldn't help wonder how many lay alone, on a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home. The very thought brought a tear to my eye, I dropped to my knees and started to cry. The soldier awakened and I herd a rough voice, "Santa, don't cry this life is my choice: I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more, my life is my God, my country, my corp." The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleep, I couldn't control it, I continued to weep. I kept watch for hours , so silent and still and we both shivered from the cold nights chill. I didn't want to leave on the cold dark night, this guardian of honor so willing to fight. Then the soldier rolled over , with a voice soft and pure, whispered, "Carry on Santa it's Christmas Day, all is secure." One look at my watch, and I knew he was right, "Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night"
This poem was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa, Japan. He requests only this; Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men and woman for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this seed??.

Even "ole cast iron stomach" ain't what he used to be. But what a great night and Alan thanks for the tour. Look forward for the next run to Pink's.
Judy, how many more days????? Remember only on the couch!!!!!! I know he doesn't stand a chance to run for his life.
Marsha, I should have brought my sun glasses, that sparkler really shown bright last night and so was your grin even before the bathroom.

The Rowdys (Judy, Marsha, and MYTMO), Sherry Peppers (she's too nice to be a Rowdy), and Alan Hauge were the veterans; Janet Burkett HHS62 from Mission Viejo, Sharon B and Mom B came from 1000 Oaks, Debra Lee McGregor HHS72 came from Lancaster, Loren Heath from Buena Park, and Chris and Kathy Prewitt came in from Fullerton. Thanks to all for showing up and sharing a laugh or two. These are real fun, although far too short get togethers.
Last night Alan Hauge took us back to his studio and introduced us to his Alcatraz movie set. What a fun place for a party Alan. How about the REAL Millenium (2001) New Years Party?? There'll be pictures.........huh Marsha.
Then it was off to Judy "D's" for some pie, ice cream and REAL coffee. See Judy, the coffee pot can be your friend. Thanks to all who showed last night and we will definitely do it again.
