Message: It`s 10 an here & I just got back home. Great car show! I think I may have parked my Nomad in the wrong section. I seem to be the only car in the area that didn`t have hopping ability`s. I wanted to enter the hopping contest & I told Terry Leeper, Louie Marotta & Pete Terp that if they could lay under each end of the car & each time I hit the horn they would push there respective ends of the car as high as they could, we could win this deal!! I mean, 50 inches won the thing. I think we could have given them a run for thier money. The 3 guys felt we were 1 man short to pull this off. I felt John was the missing link to our team. But alas we could not find him & the contest was over! Oh well there always next year! Just before leaving a guy with a camera asked if he could take some shots of this gal by my car. I said go for it. I could end up in either Low Rider Magazine or Play Boy. I don`t think the young lady was an HHS student. But then it`s been a while since I was in school & I realize the dress codes have changed. Here`s to the new look Cougars. Fun time, thank`s to all. AZ Tom
Hey Tom, I figured out that you were the owner of the Nomad (only car in the front lot worth looking at) but I couldn't find you. I found Terry Leeper and Judy though. Great car Tom, and maybe we'll see you on Cruise Night III.
I didn't approve of the Lowrider Porn murals. Don't these guys have mothers, wives, or daughters? I found it totally degrading to the female persuasion. Also where are the school officials?? Wasn't this supposed to be a family affair? And they wonder what's happened to moral values. This wasn't the school I attended. I saw naked ladies painted on bicycles. Where's this kids parents? You can't smoke on school grounds but it's OK to depict women as cheap slutty tramps with no morals. Sorry for going off like this, and it's just my opinion, but it's easy to see where the values of youth have gone. Right in the toilet!!

On the corner of Broadway & Sundale there were 4 Hood kids - Sharon, Randy, Ricky & Byron (Beeper) - all in the 70's. And I finally figured out who Ando is - duh!!!! He used to hang out with my mom while my sister and I were out on dates. She'd sell him Phillip Morris smokes - 3 for a nickel!

Message: John, it was great to finally meet you and Janet at the car show! You are right that we have all become more like a family than merely alumni scattered to the four winds.... It was an odd feeling stepping back onto the campus this morning. It has been at least 27 of the 29 years since graduation that I have been away from it. Although there are some changes, I instantly remembered every building and landmark. I must say that the old campus looks as if it's running out of layers of paint to peel off. The tall fences, the barred windows; none of that was there in "my day". There was one sight, however, that brought a smile to this old Cougar: The Kye Courtney Memorial Gym. If there were ever a teacher or coach who deserved such an honor, it would be Coach Courtney.
As for the car show, there was some awesome rolling stock on display at Cougville today. My daughter liked the "pony cars" (we have a '72 Mustang with a 351C). My favorite was a beautiful tan '48 Chevy. Man, what a "drive-in cruiser" that must have been!!! 8^)
Take care, Cougars. And John, those two words again: Thank you!!!
Bob "Strongheart" Melendrez '71
Hey Bob, Glad to meet you today too. I met lots of Cougs today at both the car show and at Connies BBQ that I'd talked with before, but never met face to face. I'll agree with you on the Pony cars Bob. At least that area of the campus where the 2 32 Fords were and the Studebaker with the Paxton Supercharger was. A good time was had all around.

For those we lost along the way, may God Bless!
For those who remember the Fitzpatrick family, there were 5 kids, 3 of which were at HHS at the same time. (Is that a record?) We are all still in CA and doing fine. Love to hear from you. I'm trying to get Mike going on this site but he works in Haytown and the drive back to Orange County takes its toll. He does get an opportunity to see some of the group. John Laven, glad you checked in. Maybe at the next "Corona Woodstock" John, you and I can work on Mike and get him on board.
Thanks for the memories.
No, the Gross Family had 3 at one time at HHS and I'm sure there were many more. Thanks Sean for coming clean, and now that you've done it, join in anytime.

Message: Polly, I know what you mean about the class directory....the guy who took my info. and all was nice enough, but he kind of made me feel pressured to buy the thing. I didn't dig that at all! Pushy salesmen of any kind are a HUGE turn-off to me, let me tell ya! The cost is: $59.95 for the softcover one (when it is printed and comes out) and $9.95 S&H. The hardcover, which will be more elaborate, he says, is $69.95 plus $9.95 S&H. To me, that is a lot of money, too, especially since I have no idea if the directory is going to have any more people in it that I want to contact or not. I'm sure glad our guy, bud, Mr. Grand Poo-Bah John boy is going to buy one for this site. We can all just ask him for the info. if so and so is in it. Thank you so much, John. Some of us Cougs are on a huge budget here! : )
Second on my list: Sharon Willis...Hello, dear heart! Did you ever call my sister, Mary back? Did you get my e-mail with her phone number? I sure hope she was more responsive to you this time if you did call her back, and you know what I mean about more responsive, don't you? If not, e-mail me, hon, and we'll talk again. So nice to see you in here again! : )
Third....Bob Brophy...Interesting story about Mt. Hood. Petey sent me an interesting story via e-mail, but I wish she would of sent it in here to all of you! Hey, most things Petey has to say are interesting as hell, so that shouldn't surprise anyone in here! You go, girl! Hint, hint...send it in for the group, woman!
Fourth....Tim Hood...I presume by the last name and feedback with Petey you are Bryon Hood's older brother. Bryon is one of my old HHS bud's ex ( Meg Silveira-Weir). Bryon has e-mailed me once, and now he says he's having trouble with his e-mail. All I know is he's married and living in Alabama! What the heck is a former surf cat like Bryon doing living in Alabama!? Blows my mind! Anyhow...howdy Tim! We are kind of neighbors...Newberg and Eugene...not exactly close, but not as far as where I used to live, Beaverton. How long have you been in Oregon? You knew my sister, Mary, didn't you?
Damn! This went on so long, I know I had something to say to Bill Mears, but now I forgot! I will have to go back in, see what he said, and come back! Sorry John! Bye to all, hope I didn't bore the hell out of anyone! Happy Friday, all
