Message: Not too sure you will print my feedback. I feel compelled to say something about the attitude of some of the folks in CT. A gal that I liked alot at HHS stated her opinion on feedback about the well-talked about car porn. Because her opinion differed from others, she recieved rude and hateful emails. What is going on with the so-called watch dogs who think their opinion is the only valid one. Go back to history, this country was founded because people did not have the right to speak their opinions freely. I really am disappointed because emailing nasty messages is so childish and cowardly. You have the right to your opinions but so do others. That is respectful and that is what your kids need to learn. They certainly don't need to learn anymore about disrespecting others. This country is about choice, mine and yours... not just yours
Hi Jeanne, Yes I print ALL feedback unless it gets downright vulgar and then I CENSOR IT!! The reason I censor it is because I don't want someone's little kid, grandkid, or someone that is sensitive to trash language, reading it. I know I know......I'm messing with their freedom of speech. Well that's the way it is, as this website is NOT the United States Governments, and is not governed under any freedom of speech acts. It's governed by ME, as I pay the server bill here every month.
As to your concern for your friends psyche, I believe that if it's the same person I'm thinking of, that the two people involved have already kissed and made up, so why in the world would anyone need to stir the coals a week later? I'm asking that rhetorically you understand, so please, do not feel compelled to answer. The car show issue is a dead one. Let's just all enjoy each other and the Feedback page, and in the words of that great HHS barrister and Cougartown philanthropist, Jim Sloey, "Can't we all just get along?"

Scared me to death! One of my sons has a birthday on the 11th and I thought I blew it. Not that he wouldn't have reminded me but it's not too cool for a Mom to miss a birthday. Thanks for all you do, if my hubby would hurry up and find gainful employment our checks would (will) be in the mail! Unemployment is the pits!
Hi Dawn, I think that if you check the clock on YOUR computer, you'll find that it's the problem, as the calendar on the Home page reads YOUR calendar.

I have lived in the Portland Metro area for 15 years and all of those 15 years have gotten my hopes up high for the Blazers just to have them dashed to tiny tidbits! An amazingly agonizing feeling, I know. And yeah, I'm feeling the same about my daugher Cassie, too.
Mo Trott....I didn't find the Kirkland winery web address you wanted but perhaps the next best thing....try wwwcawinemall.com It's called the CA wine mall. It has from A-Z and from region to region all the wineries in CA. Heck Oregon needs to get one of these on the internet. We have 145 wineries all over this state and most I've been to rival anything CA has going! I looked in the wine mall for you for Kirkland, but didn't see it listed, but, at the end of the web site's home page, they have an info. site....info.@cawinemall.com I hope this helps you! Salute!
Kirkland wineries website is only weeks old. It probably isn't listed with any search engines as of yet. I'm sure Glenn or Mike will know the URL and let us know.

When my daughter grows up to watch stuff like this I may have to ban her watching the playoff because it causes too much stress and trauma! Hey everyone, remember June 14th because it's a histroical day. It's a very special day. It's (Mel)Linda (Elia, c/82) Birthday (but for those who know really what day it is it's Flag Day). Linda will be 25 and she's looking great! O.K. she can't be 25 because of her graduating class but her beauty may be contesting her daughter's beauty. If you put the two together you would think they're sisters. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA. THE VIDEO, CARD, AND GIFT IS IN THE MAIL! Now for the first alumni of 2000. Is it possible he graduated Mid-term? Alot of people do that since they gain all of the requirements to graduate early.
Happy Birthday Melinda!!!

You really went out of your way for us, and I would just like to say THANK YOU! You added so much knowledge to the tours, again THANK YOU! Now, may I ask a favor? When we were at Kirkland you asked them what their web address was, and I can't remember (a senior moment). Would you be so kind as to e-mail me at the above address (or here in cougartown since others may like to have the same information) and give me their web address. Also the name of the wine we all liked so much (you said it was now on sale).

On the "Checks in the Mail" thing, is there any way of paying multiple years and put a 1 in the little star for 2001, a 2 for 2002 etc. It would make it a lot easier for us seniors. See you at cruise night.
Hey Richard, Yes, I've seen the Dodger hats...... Very cool.
The only problem with paying for multiple years is I have to keep track of who paid for how many years. If sending a check for 10 dollars once a year is to tough for you seniors then just call me and I'll drive by and pick it up.

Happy Birthday Mother E! I know 2 of your daughters and all I can say is you must be a remarkable woman! Congrats to all the newly weds on the first month, and there was some who said it wouldn't last? Bring forth those naysayers! The 4 of you are truly special people! Sloey
Yeah, I've got to say I'm mighty proud of both Tim and Pat. Just goes to show what a little parenting (one Cougar parent and one Seahawk parent) will do. Little League and Fishing didn't hurt them either.
You checked out PG Weavers and it's nice to know the color of the building, but did you actually order a couple of chili dogs to see if they were up to Pinks heart attack standards? How's the parking? We need an in depth shake down of the place to see if it's up to Cougartown standards. Kinda' like that guy on the channel 2 news does. We're counting on you Jimbo, make us proud.

I couldn't go on reading night after night feeling guilty for not having sent it. I have enjoyed this page so very much, it has filled a large void for me. Seeing so many Highschoolers Who have not had the experience that we had is a very sad thing. They seem to think that those "Happy Days" times were only a TV series. But we were lucky enough to have experienced them. Keep up the grand work. Has anyone found Dianne Wiley? How about my Sophmore crush Donny Ray? Thank God I'm a Cougar.

I know that Stick and Stein was a little small but I don't know if we can get a group like that again. Kathy and Steve Stonebraker did such a great job setting everything up last year, do we have anyone in the south bay who can take on such a project? I know I am that quiet guy in the back row but I'm getting ready to PARTY! Does anyone else feel like me?
Hey Chris, Being that you ARE sitting in the back row, you must not be paying attention. Loretta Morelli, Class of 62, is taking on the homecoming weekend job this year. Homecoming, BTW, is October 6th this year. I haven't heard from the Stonebrakers for months. They think if they check in, I'll put them to work and Susan Walling moved up north to get out of it.Loretta will do a fine job.
We're having a Cruise night about the first weekend in August. That's as close as I can get until I talk to Leo, the owner of Fosters.
I think we're going to have a Pinks type run in about 2 weeks so stay tuned for that one.
