Message: Hey, I know this has nothing to do with HHS or it's people, etc. but a lot of people come in here with their hobbies or groups they belong to and share stuff. Well, not long ago, I let all of you know ( those that know me already know) of my almost obsessive love of music. Well, for those of you who like jazz and new age, may I suggest some really fun and educational music bulletin boards I frequent and have made some very wonderful friends? For people who like new age/jazz influence, Craig Chaquico is great and his BB is full of great people. We are all like a family in there. Come on by, we'd love to have you...www.craigchaqico.net Craig used to play lead guitar for the Jefferson Starship then they disbanded, he got married and his wife said no more electric guitar around our kid, so he picked up an acoustic guitar instead. I like this music much better than his Starship stuff ,anyways.
And for all kinds of jazz artists, such as the Rippingtons' Spryro Gyra, Jeff Kashiwa, etc. go to the magic island BB. www.magicisland.com Lot's of nice people there, too, and a lot of them are in the music business, like D.J's and promoters, etc. very knowledgeable and fun, too boot. Like I said, come on in and give a shout! You may just find yourself learning a lot like I do and making some very cool friends and being turned on to all kinds of new and fun music.

What can I say, I was quite the little social butterfly in my jr. and sr. years and every once in awhile I still am! Anyway, I was at my parent's house a few weeks ago and started digging through old pics and saw the ones of us taken before and at the Prom. Nice memories........you were such a gentleman and I can tell you still are. Take care!

Message: John - I was going to put some of this in feedback, but then wasn't quite sure how to go about it, because it is very long. I just returned from Pennsylvania (our Aunt is 85 and in a rest home and her home is being sold) and brought back a bunch of stuff. Some of it is her "writings" on different subjects. This one that I'm going to pick a bit out of for you is under the subject:

"Because much of this information is supposed to be confidential and I seemed to need some outlet and also I want to remember these details, her goes."

Sunday: Dec. 14, 1941 "At 11am Mr. Springer called for me.....we passed one group on Inglewood Avenue and Century. Then to USO - LA office on Imperial & Inglewood Ave. Started making up boxes of supplies - cigarettes & matches, post cards & stationery & envelopes, stamps (for sale), candy , gum, magazines, Sunday newspapers, kleenex. .........2nd stop was Northrop...we sent in an assortment of things to the platoon stationed on the roof. Northrop is blacked out. Then...El Segundo Blvd. near Anza..lookout of 3 fellows.....then we saw 3 soldiers at the RR crossing just beyond Redondo Blvd......next we went over to just short of Duley Rd. by about a block to a deserted farm house on one side..Army had taken over....who were digging in and putting in guns.....we got out on El Segundo and hit Sepulveda and picked up two soldiers and took them to the corner of Imperial & Sepulveda, then we headed towards to beach-we couldn't find anything near the Standard refinery. Went over dunes to coast just below El Segundo up towards Del Rey...........back to Imperial - we hit a sentry at the northwest corner of Mines Field..then another at Northeast corner...Then we went up to the Turf Club and left what we had left of our supplies."

Aunt Agnes wrote up to a point on Tuesday, Dec. 16. it is 4-1/4 notebook pages handwritten. You can probably see why I find it so interesting. This is where we were raised, and they were digging in, getting ready for the Japanese to attack. This is something I remember hearing about in history, but, this is history in my Aunt's handwriting.
I think this would be of interest to a lot of the "feedbackers", but I've decided to put it in your hands to do with it as you please. The whole context is great! but, there is no way feedback could handle that!
Yes, Very Interesting!! This was written one week after Pearl Harbor. Can you imagine the fear, not knowing what was happening to her little community, as soldiers were massing here and there, readying to fight an all out war to protect our country, people, and our freedom? Thanks Myrna, I know there're lots of Cougs who can relate to your Aunts writings.

Message: Matt Peterson....hey, not freaked out in a bad way. Sorry if that is how you took it. Just that I never bought any of my El Molino's because I thought I was too cool and they were too "rah-rah"! What an idiot I was back then. So, when I hear a name or see a face I remember from way back when, it just gets to me, is all, and not in a bad way. AND, who's memory is what it used to be? Certainly not mine! Rick Porter didn't have a brother, so Rick and Phil weren't related. But at least I was right, you did know my brother and his friends. By the way, has anyone told you that you kind of look like the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana? Well, at least your high school pic does.
And Gary Lents and Kelly Currie....My brother used to go to Melody Music all the time. Sometimes he would take me with him. He is quite the music afficianado, too. He used to buy all the coolest 45's of the day. He also used to have a cool collection of 78's, but when my parents divorced, my mom got rid of them all, much to poor Michael's dismay, I might add! He also used to go to Wallach's Music City, too, I do believe! Mike is going to school full-time now to study to be a radiologist so he doesn't come in here that much anymore. I need to tell him someone posted about this subject. I'm sure his memories of those places are much more interesting than mine!

Older than all of us! It was one of those "old" moments when he asked what they were. The kids did think it was neat that you could buy just the song you liked (now they can buy a CD single) without all the songs you didn't like. Sadly I didn't take very good care of my 45's and they are unplayable. He hasn't found the binder of my Mom's old 78's yet...something else to explain. Oh well!

The sad part is the only 8 trac tape I had around was Christmas music! For a while we got into having foreign exchange students staying with us. Most of them were about 16 years old, some were a bit older, but you should have seen the look on their face's when we pulled out that Christmas tape (I think it was Elvis's Christmas). They asked "how ever did we cart them around?". Well, I think maybe that's another feedback question. How did we carry them around?
I think I just tossed mine in the glove compartment, on the seat, under the seat, on the dashboard; where ever they'd fit.

I believe you did miss a shift that night. I believe I made a mistake on the name though (Hartman). After further thought, I believe it was Norm Green????. Can't rememeber the whole last name. Looked in the missing Cougar and current Alumni List and found nothing. He was a little short guy who lived just off Hawthorne Blvd. around 133rd street.
I was wondering if you do "then and now" pictures. If you do, you can pick up a current picture of me at "@avtron.comm", click on Products, Aircraft Test Equipment, Aircraft Sales Territory and scan down.
Again, this webpage is a great idea. The response you're getting is great.
