Message: Hello Cougars young and old, I talked to an old Cougar last night, RICK COOPER. We talked for about an hour, I have not talked or seen him for over 19 years. Class of 63 give Rick a shout. I am trying to get him to send a little feedback. Rick is doing great. He has his two son's and his Mom Marg working for him. We're going to try to make the O.C. reunion. Reconnecting with old friends is great. Thank you John Baker and all you Cougartown Junkies.
Hey Dan, Janet and I will be there along with Linda Jones Reynolds from our class too. I know the Rowdys are going too, as they don't get to eat cooked food too often. We'll see you there.
Hey big Rick, send some feedback. It'd be great hearing from you.

Message: Mike Mc Cann : Thanks for confirming that my mind hasn't gone yet... I can't believe I remembered Roger and Craig's name too! I just impressed myself. I went to Funship for many years and also worked there as a counselor for a few years. It was interesting to have had Tommy as a counselor growing up and then ending up as a co-worker of his when I was older. I saw many counselors come and go through my years at Funship but for some reason you, Roger and Craig stuck out in my memory... I guess when a girl gets to hang on the backs of good looking football players, you tend to remember it! I know I had a picture somewhere of the 3 of you.... wish I could find it. Well.. I hope you are well! To everyone else who is going to the picnic on May 20th, have a GREAT time.. We are leaving saturday morning on our road trip and will miss meeting everyone. To Mr. Plotkin: Happy belated!!! I do hope to see you at a gathering soon! It would be so nice to see you after all these years!
I just sent in my 5 bucks for the picnic. Sounds like a great time to me. See you all there.

ALL profits go towards: K-9 Training & Equipment Fund. Tickets are available at a number of locations in Hawthorne. Do you think you might have the time (ya, right) to post it in cougartown before you leave? It would really help our K-9 units if we can get a good participation. Hope to see you and Janet and the gang there, and any and all cougars. There will be door prizes and a celebrity guest star!! Be cougs, MYTMO

Yes, I'm still OK, and no my computer is not!! I'm patiently waiting for my new one, and the company just isn't moving quickly enough for me. I get some e-mails and don't get others, and I get those undeliverable messages too, it's been kind of a touch-n-go thing. I did get your message about locating Paulette, thanks a bunch!! I'd like to get in touch with her. I'll let you know when I'm up and running. Thanks for your concern. And while I'm here, I want to say HI ALL COUGS, and THANKS FOR MAKING THIS SITE POSSIBLE, IT'S AWESOME, TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! Hey Mike McCann, thanks for your message too, you know all of those you asked about, Nick, Bobby, Marcella... etc. I haven't heard of nor seen any of them in years. I lived in Northern California for a few years, in the hills, and lost touch with everyone. Will probably be going back soon. I can't take this big city life any longer, I'm quite the mountain mama, but if you EVER find out what happened to Nick Mungarro, please let me know. Not a day goes by without me thinking of him and hoping and praying that he's alright. Does ANYONE know? I miss Nick!!!!! To the one who mentioned Sam's Place. When did it disappear? My husband and I hung out there quite a bit in the early 90's doing the KAROAKE scene every week-end, and eating those fabulous burgers. Last we were there was in 1993. BYE FOR NOW ALL!!

The concert had a Roaring 20's theme. Our group The Brethern and the Sistern really killed 'em. I played the washboard and you had a tambourine as I recall. Our group sang the theme song from the Roaring 20's TV program and some others. I think we also sang Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey. I think we had a guitar player named Bill as well as a girl who played mandolin and someone else played a washtub bass. I'll have to check my Warwhoop newspaper copies, I think there was a picture of our group in one of the papers.

It's so limited! Oh well, I guess better than no internet at all, which is what I had before...well either that or go to the library to use theirs. Problem with that is, you can only use it for a half hour (more if no one is waiting), and, if someone sends you a joke, and it's really funny, they get pissed when you laugh! Bunch of killjoys!

I had lots of fun being your 6th grade classmate! And to those talking about glow-in-the-dark rosaries ... we had those in San Diego and used to dare each other to put them over our heads like necklaces but nobody EVER did! We were convinced they'd turn into snakes if we did! Well they would ya know! Hey once you've been exposed to ANY Catholicism, you're affected for LIFE! I don't go to Catholic churches anymore but I still stop chewing my gum if the pastor looks my way ... ya, I do! And the first time I went to a church that wasn't Catholic, I couldn't go in because they didn't have any holy water and nobody genuflected before sitting and they didn't have any benches to kneel on. I thought where the heck am I and then tried to hide from the lightning I knew would strike at any moment!! (I genuflected anyway just to be safe!) Oh and the confessionals were missing! And if you go to a non-demoninationl church after communion, you'll be able to pick out the Catholics because they won't be chewing the wafer!! Too funny!
