Message: Mr. Gioia, I apologize for going to all those Mel Brooks premieres in Westwood with you and Dean Fettig! Great to see you in print again! Been a long time since the HHS newspaper days!
BTW, I kept in touch with Mother Mark after we graduated and I remember calling her from my office in March of 1987 to tell her about the upcoming birth of my second child. When I asked her how she was doing, she said "I'm dying honey." I laughed, because she always said that. Only that time she was serious. I was stunned. After a few seconds of silence... all I could say was, "Hey, I love you" and I hung up. I called back a couple of weeks later and Donald told me the sad news.
She was a great lady. She didn't teach English, really. She taught wisdom.
BTW John... you have an outstanding site!
Best regards to all!

Unfortunately some 18 wheeler spun him out across 6 lanes of Crenshaw Blvd last night and his 'ride' is now sitting in a body shop in Torrance. So I need your help fellow Cougs, PLEASE, please don't laugh if we happen to drive (ride) up on Schwinn 10 speeds, it's the best we could do on short notice, and if Lee stands by a temporarily abandoned cool'57 chevy and pretends it's his, just humor him. One day and counting! Bye.
No problem Norma, lots of Cougs are driving "Daddys Cars" to this function. See you tomorrow night.

Message: I think that I need to apologize to anyone else who attended HHS from 1961 to 1963 for being a shy, quiet, uninvolved part of the scenery. I did not learn until later that being ROWDY is much more fun. If I had learned that sooner, then my class mates could have benefited from my humor, inventiveness, etc. and I would have had the benefit of having known sooner what really wonderful folks they all are.
As I look back, I know that there were efforts to include me in many parts of life at HHS, but I remained aloof, cocooned in the cotton wool of shyness, fending off ovatures of friendship with the shield of silence, using "I need to study" as a mantra.
So any of you denizens of Cougartown who are still in school, make the effort to get involved. If you are out of school, work on being the person who is truly missed when you are not at a gathering of family, friends, or co-workers.
Very well said Sharon...........OK, so I'm ALSO sorry to myself that I used as my mantra, "I Need To Party".

Message: Lisa Schmidt and Susan Bierman King have raised the interesting issue of whether we can use the Cougartown feedback pages to apologize for all the immature things we did in high school. I know that Australians celebrate an annual "I'm sorry" day, to apologize for their treatment of the aboriginals. Perhaps we can have an "I'm sorry day" here a C-Town. I'll start by apologizing for the time I chased Joe Mailander around campus with a cream pie, waiting for the right moment to throw it in his face. (Of course, he also had a cream pie, which he was planning to toss at me -- so I can plead that I was merely acting in self-defense.) And I probably should apologize for the time I forged a student council bulletin. Whoops, I shouldn't forget the time I made up a phony trophy for "Teacher of the Year" and presented to Mr.T in the middle of one of his classes in Nyman Hall, much to his chagrin. And then there was the time .... Well, I better stop now, and check the small print in the statute of limitations law, before I say anything else...
I apologize to Mr Repashy for getting in both bowling pictures. I also apologize to Coach Walker for letting the air out of the tires on his VW.

Message: Corn chips and peanut butter sandwiches. To die for. Well maybe not that good but as a teenager they were great. Here is a very simple great tasting candy. I used to make them and people were offering to buy from me. I jar Jiff peanut butter, I package butterscotch morsels. Melt together in double broiler (so as not to burn). After melted mix in 1 can of those crispy chinesse noodles you get at the store and if you want some small marshmellows. mix it good. Now spoon small portions on a non-stick cookie sheet and let cool in refrigerator for about ten minutes and then put them in a bowl and repeat. they are awesome and simple and very rich but taste great. My input for now.
Sounds pretty good Keith. When we were at the last VFW breakfast, someone had taken peanut butter and spread it between two Ritz crackers and dipped that whole thing in chocolate. Another peanut butter surprise.

"TIPS REGARDING RAISING CHILDREN"
1. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42-pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape.
2. It is strong enough however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20-by-20-foot room.
3. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.
4. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
5. When you hear the toilet flush and the words Uh-oh, it's already too late.
6. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
7. A king-sized waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000-square-foot house 4 inches deep.
8. Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.
9. VCR's do not eject peanut butter and jelly sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
10. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
11. Always look in the oven before you turn it on.
12. Plastic toys do not like ovens.

I was thrilled to see that Steve Deuel has checked in. I hope you come back to visit regularly, this place can be a hoot if you give it a chance. I'm glad all the doom-sayers were wrong about the Y2K junk. It would be a shame if something had happened to take Cougartown away from us all.
I'm trying to figure out what the problem could be with putting a bouillon cube in a blender - - - perhaps you failed to remove the foil wrapper first! Silly rabbit!
One of my personal favorite snacks from childhood used to be simply Peanut Butter On A Spoon. That qualifies for the no-cooking rule. Best wishes to all my fellow Cougars!
Peanut butter on a spoon is STILL one of my favorites. That's why I won't buy peanut butter. I love that stuff too much. Thanks for checking in Ingrid. See you Saturday Night.

Message: Dear... listen folks you've got to stop, I'm in tears with this cooking thing. But, Bill Gordon, I, like you, have been cooking for what it seems like a 1000 yrs, meat anyway. One day, a millenium or so ago, actually 1966 or so we purchased two fine steaks from Stellino's market. Two "fine" Porterhouse steaks. Darn spendy at the time to a young family. At this time we had no BBQ so we were going to broil them. Well to make a long story short, "she" burned them, to my liking anyway. Our little kitchen and dining room had a back door that had access to a german shepard. I took one bite and stuck my fork in this once gorgeous steak, opened the door, and stuck the tidbit outside, while still sitting at the table . Gone in 2 seconds! Biggest fight of our marriage to that point. Oh man was she p....f.d..it.you..ed! You guessed it. Basically, the message from the ID QUEEN was, "OK you Mother Grabber, you cook the S.O.B's for the rest of your life"!.... How would you like your steak folks? The banter is great. El/IDA. MAY THE COUGAR BE WITH YOU!

Bun; - a starchy carbohydrate.
The; meat - protein.
Tomato, lettuce & onion; - veggies.
Ketsup; - another veggie.
Cheese; - more protein.
Banana split; - dairy and a fruit.
Fries; - a fat and a carbo.
Cherry coke; - another fruit.
Oh ya, it doesn't hurt to put a hair in it--
(always remember that communion is a carbohydrate and counts as food too.) Build from there people..

Message: I have cooked all my Married life and would love to become a Rowdy just so I don't have to cook anymore. After 42 years I deserve it, what do i have to do?
Thanks Bill, First of all you can't own a pan. The only dish you can own is a paper plate, but you are really supposed to just open, and eat, from the can. On special occasions you may buy Chinette (fancy plate plates). You may own a knife, fork, and spoon, but you can use only one at each meal and they have to be plastic. Hand food is better, and no appliances other than a mechanical can opener. If you want toast for example, put a piece of bread on the back fence and let the sun dry it out good. This is just to get you started on your road to becoming a Rowdy. Judy and Marsha can fill you in on the rest, and thanks for your interest.

Bouillon is good but I always have problems getting those little cubes stuck in the blades of my blender (what a mess). Anyway, Debbie Sloey and the female JB are great cooks...so if they continue to cook a meal for us from time to time..then Fuji apples will keep us going until the next meal.
Kelly.....is a food processor an expensive blender? And thanks for the tip...I forgot the bacon bits, I used real bacon strips and it was really difficult getting them on a chip.
Or maybe you could just suck on the bouillon cube and call it chicken soup. No muss, no fuss, no cleanup.
