Message: Donna Van Douris, Yup, it's me. I can't believe this web site. I have had the best time reading everyone's memories. How are you after all these too many years? I only went to El Camino 1 year. I got stupid, married and moved to St. Louis. So much has happened over these 30+ years I can't even believe it. Keep in touch. I love hearing from old friends. We were just in Hawthorne in January. My grandfather passed away, yup, grandfather. He was 94. So we went by the high school and the old house on 142nd St. My kids couldn't believe it. Nostalgia is a good thing. So many old memories have popped back up. Wow. I get on here about once a week or so, so do write back. lol Sue

Message: Tammy, Thanks for the response. Oh, I remember well the long, agonizing hours in the honors classes. Were you in Goodfellow's honors English class? I'm getting old and can't remember things. Remember early in the school year (October) when he was trying to read some uplifting literature to the class and his hair was sticking up in back and everyone got to sniggering about it until he got so upset he made a curt comment to the class and left the room? Hey, I located George LeDoux through his younger brother who is on the alumni list.
For anyone looking for my sister, Mary (Burt) Henry, class of 1975, I can contact her. She's married to a great guy and has raised/is raising four fine kids. I think she keeps in pretty close touch with all of her high school pals already, so that may be why she hasn't added her name to the list.
How come there aren't more 70's graduates on the feedback pages? It's seems like it's the same three people all the time.

Message: Hey Arno Portegies! Not too long ago I inquired as to your where-abouts, then lo-and-behold, you show up on the Cougar page. It was good to see your name.... talk about memories...Remember Guys and Dolls? I was a freshman, just coming out of my shell, my braces had just come off, and I was beginning to "bloom". I hung with fellow freshmen and budding thespians Michell Gonzalez, Julie Potter, Karina Entenmann to name a few. Towards the end of the production we had all become pretty tight, and started to hang out together. I will never forget the time you came to my house and so convincingly talked my pretty strict mother into letting me go along with the rest of the gang to see the infamous Rocky Horror Picture Show. Which of course meant little Lori would be out way past midnight.... It was so funny, you sitting in our Living room and telling my Mom what we would be seeing, how you told her it was a movie sort of like the rock opera "Tommy" (which I guess she related to, being an ex-hippie herself) I for one had no idea what you were talking about, but it worked on her, and I was able to go to the Bijou in Hermosa Beach that night for my first of many viewings of that cult classic! What a blast that was... such an instigator you were! Drop me a line some time Arno, I'd love to hear from you!

I also watched Spin and Marty and Engineer Bill. Also mention of speedos made me think of all the times I used to watch Allen, Jeff Nathanson, My ex David Bridgwater, Bill Horton and all the boys in the waterpolo team. We used to get a chuckle over the speedos. Also Liz, if straddling porcelain is part of what it takes to be "rowdy" then count me in. Catch you all later, Liz
Thanks Liz, and with that, I will close the Feedback page until Monday, as I have to get ready to leave for WCW. Susan, I'm sorry girl, but I didn't get your El Tarasco Tacos.

I guess that my husband and I will just have to drink a bottle or 2 of our favorite California white zinfandel (hey, you don't have to be able to spell it to drink it!) and wish we were there. Rowdy Judy, my ma is going to supply you with some more glow in the dark rosaries as soon as she can remember where she put them. She says those rosaries used to be given to the churches in vast quantities (probably to make everyone feel guilty and give to the cause). My ma used to help sell at the religious articles "stand" in the back of St. Joe's on Sundays and she used to recruit (can you say "help out or no allowance") my sister Pattie and I to help too.

I nearly had a stroke. Can't remember who else was in the car with you but the cat you swerved to miss was saved. I do remember the tornado. I must of been a freshman and a whole bunch of us kids were watching it from a distance at school. Later that day saw some of the damage it did on the way home. Now I live in a place where they have them and not once have we had to deal with it. Hope it stays that way until we can get out of here in a couple years. I'm a little concerned about Frank.

Message: OK all of you Coug's this is a chance to "Be True to YOUR School". I know that this is the same day as the 66-69 party but why not make it a day instead of just an evening? The last HHS car show brought together some alumni that had not seen each other in years. I'm sure that this could produce a great many more memories. John, how is Kermit feeling, a little green? Maybe you can get the rowdies to polish him up and enter him in the show. Maybe Alan could bring his car/cars. There were also motorcycles, Mr. Keys do you think you and Mr. Fix could show up on your bikes? How about Pat and Ed? As for the Rowdies, so you won't have to cook I will purchase the first 6 dozen doughnuts (for you to sell not eat!!). All you will have to do is look pretty and take the money (by force if necessary). Now for the coffee should we need to defend ourselves, Sloey, are you going to be there? A good time can be had by all so mark this one on your calendars.
Great stuff Chris. Yes, I hope someone, or all of you, have emailed Melanie with the "I CAN HELP!!" message. I know the coffee booth people have to be local, but the journalism people can be from anywhere as you can send it all via the net. It would be fantastic to have all Cougs working on the Cougar directory? Lots of you have been asking how you can help. Here's your chance. Thanks Chris.......

Message: I remember very well that tornado, the Newspapers and TV media were calling it a low gust of wind. No way according to our neighbor who had been in a few of them, back in Minn. We had in our back yard 4x4, 2x4 beams, parts of the car ports from the neighbors across the street, as well, the trash cans, part of roofs. We saw large wooden splinters pierce through wooden garage doors. Our neighbor had this beautiful huge picture front window, a trash can lid sailed through that beautiful window right into their TV. That roof from Ramona School, bits and parts were found all the way to 129th street, the school sat on 135th or 136th. Im really not sure what year that was but it was most likely around 67 or 68. I still remember that sound. At first it sound like a thousand birds going over, then as it got closer it got louder and louder, there was a roaring sound. I remember being on the phone with my neighbor and her telling me to drop to the floor, I was taking care of a little boy, I fell on top of him and he thought I was playing a game, little guy never knew what was going on. Newspaper reporters were all over the place and they saw all the damage that had happened, but they still called it a low gust of wind!!! This was an experience I know I will never forget.

Last years was a little sad, not enough cars showed up, and since we have a few Cougs who are still into old cars, maybe they can get information from the school on how they can put their cars in the Car Show. I'm not sure who is heading it this year, but I seem to remember the Chacon's were involved with the show last year. Would be nice to see more cars in the show this year. Did hear from Jim Isadore and he says Thank you for your wonderful web site too! We Thank you....We are a true Cougartown....
Loretta, your timing couldn't have been more perfect. I just heard from Melanie and I have the particulars on this years car show. It won't be a BIT like last years. This is going to be much bigger and better. I have the info and will post it when I get back from Wine Country. Thanks Loretta

Message: John, Would your alumni group be interested in having a coffee and donuts booth at the car show? Our PTA has finked out on us and we need some reliable, "I don't want to worry about it" people to run this. You would get all the profits and since we are having thousands of people this year instead of hundreds it could be quite good. I bet the alumni group could use a few bucks! We can probably arrange for the two big coffee makers and we have a donut shop locally that gives us a good break. Bagels would be good too but that is just an idea. You would need someone to come to a Wednesday night, 7:00 p.m. meeting at the HHS Faculty Lounge. We will not meet there during school spring break but at my house. If you are interested you can just let me know.
The other issue that I desperately need help on is the editorial pages for the Alumni Directory. These require some layout of pictures etc. I am no further ahead now and I have passed three deadlines now and begging for more. I know the alumni have collected photos and memorabilia. If someone out there could lend me a hand or coordinate it I would bless them forever. So far the response to the mailers has been a positive one and I have received many requests from people who know people that got them and wanted one too. Got to go now. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me in these areas.
Melanie Chacon
OK Cougartowners, can anyone help Melanie out with the coffee booth or the editorial pages for the Cougar directory? If so, please let her know at chafam@aol.com. I'm sure someone out there can donate a little time for the Cougar cause. The coffee booth needs to be manned on May 20th at the 2nd annual car show at HHS. I went last year and had a great time. It will be a fun day for all, especially in the coffee booth. The editorial pages sound like something that's right up the alley of you HHS journalism junkies. Whattayasay?? Email Melanie and get involved. Thanks Cougs......
