Message: JudyWudy, it was Andy Devine aka Jingles. I really liked Froggy and Andy, so I don't get the balloons either. He was a funny but mean little frog. My sister always said he reminded her of me. But of course, that's sisterly love. Judy, it was great meeting you. Hope to see you at homecoming. John, again as I said and it's been repeated many times, WE LOVE YOU AND THANKS FOR COUGARTOWN. Now Lyn Biggers Neal are you logged on to Cougartown? How's it going in Oregon? Karen Hare has been asking about you as did Bill McDonald, so write something and let everyone know how your doing. Gotta go and read more feedback.
Hey Sharon, Great meeting you last night too. I think you already had tha Jingles thing nailed back a few feedbacks. There was a pre-Jingles guy on that show too, but I don't remember his name and how about "Midnight the Cat" on that show; I think all that cat said was "Nice".

Message: Re: FOSTERS CRUISE NIGHT.. Let me start out by thanking Alan Hauge for saving me from eating Mo Trott's Heavenly choc cake... boy, that was close.. (Jan & I will be home most of the day Mo, so bring the surplus over anytime) So good to meet Sharon Moore (I still owe ya 10 balloons Sharon) and Rowdy Pauline.. Zelma Pino..and Gloria Velez..ya still look the same.
Thanks Tommy Burroughs, for the dinner and the fun. Couldn't believe that "CHIPS" closed early & we couldn't follow through with pie and coffee afterward at another local hangout. (no Alan, I didn't have pie as I didn't want to stimulate my pancreas & get that ol' sugar rush) Now, one last question. Who use to say, "Thump your magic twanger, Froggy." to the frog that lived in the grandfather clock. (can I say that~~can anyone say that!!) hint: also plays in Wild Bill Hickock. 10 balloons to the person that answers.. and Janny doesn't count. FYI~ I heard there's a place called "THE HOP" in Lakewood that us old folks can go and dance to music from the 60's,70's & 80's. I think we should make that a date soon as Oct Homecoming is just toooo long to wait for another get together. Oh ya, Janny called me Sheudy again last night, so I'm off to shop again. (I like this second wife thingy a lot) Now, I'm off like a prom dress. Sheudy Noodleman with an Autumn fur
I want the 10 balloons but I'll let someone else answer it.

Message: The other night, Donna and I were reading through some early feedback. Some days John, there was no feedback at all. Now everyday there are many people contributing. Cruise night was a testament to all the hard work you have put into Cougartown. After last night, I can put many faces with names. From 1956 (Richard Hanson) to Lori Padelford 1981. There were Street Rods, Classics, Convertibles, Originals, and 2 Viper's; from the 30's to the 90's. Whether you were from the class of 69 or 58, or 74, it didn't matter. We all seem to be bonded as Cougars. As time goes bye, I would hope to see more and more Cougars coming out to events like this. In our busy schedules, we should take this time to enjoy our roots. Be a Coug!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Wayne's figured it out. That's what it's all about, and it DOESN'T matter when you graduated. Come on out.......I swear you'll fit right in.

Patty, the actor was doing the cartoon work was I believe "Edward Everet Horton" a wonderful actor who's face you would know. And yes it was Jonathan "Harris" as the not so "good" guy on Lost In Space. Jonathan's wife ran the professional beauty products division of the DEP Corporation at Culver City for many years. Both really very nice folks.

Message: Hello ya'll
It sounds like cruise night was another success. We would have cruise nights out here in Billy Goat Acres but the darn mule keeps dying. (There's a joke there, someplace.) I just returned from the Redneck Riviera East (Myrtle Beach, SC.) I still have a hard time adjusting with the sunrise coming off the ocean. It's not natural. The beaches out here cannot compare to the West Coast. I miss the real surf and clear water. The surf out here is very mild and soupy (sandy). I also miss the tar balls and that rich tar aroma. One thing I don't miss is the 400-yard dash on the hot sand.
Yes, the Hawthorne swimming hole. Spent plenty days and nights during the summer for just a dime. Does anyone remember his or her first jump off the high dive? It was a rush!!! Or, about going to Taco Bell after swimming for a taco or burrito for a princely sum of $0.19 each.
Ray
Hey Ray, Didn't like the high dive AT ALL. I could do a mean belly flop off the platform though. I just came by the pool on the way to cruise night yesterday, and they've got a sign out front saying the Hawthorne pool is back in business as of June, though I'll bet it's more than a dime now. Does anyone remember the chlorine smell in the pool locker rooms?

Message: Another Cruise Night and even MORE people this time. Where are all the Cougs coming from? Leo, the food was great as usual and the Cougar company was fantastic. Royal Lord is back along with Alan Hauge, and Dennis Lord showed up too. Gary Mykkanen was there too, and lots of fun people from the 70's. Lori Padelford, did you find any 80's people? Sharon Bierman Branigan and Mom "B" were there, but no Sue and Daryl tonight. Patty V and her kids were there along with Cynthia V, her kids, and Mom "V", but no Ricki. Tom Burroughs was there all the way from Prescott AZ in his Nomad. Janet was there with my favorite guys, Wesley and Phillip. Mr. P and Cathy Brooks, Angel K, the Spencer girls, Richard Hansen HHS57 and Mike Shay HHS61 along with Jim Essner and wife Karen Boll HHS61. Dickie Norton and wife Jan Chauncey Norton, Tom Shelley, Bob and Karen Fraser, John and Ann Rout, the Rowdys, Robin and Janny, Gary Miller, Ken Huthmaker, Karen Graham Kuehl, Norval (Norm) Vorhis and brother Jim, Bobby Milazzo, Debra Lee and many many more. Thank you all for showing up tonight to make this a grand event. To Patti Smith. I'm sorry you didn't get a ride tonight, but don't take it too badly as I didn't get your feedback onto the page until the wee hours of the morning and the feedback page is real slow on Saturdays. I think the next Cruise Night will be in February, but now we'll concentrate on Homecoming and the Stick and Stein party on the 6th of October. All of you out of town Cougs please make plans to be here on that weekend.

If parents think the kids need a controlling agent, they should attend. So I guess your grandkids are safe, we won't recruit em, ok? And, also, maybe I should say this, just qualifying for this event places you amongst the top 10% in the nation. We took 1st in the Western USA, and I also coached the San Diego County High School Champions, so I guess I had a decent year.

And- NO it was not fractured flickers - wasn't that the actor, can't remember his name either, the old memory is losing it. Anyhow, he reminds me of Dr. Smith on Lost in Space, Jonathan something. No, the witch is a true trivia buff memory. Wanda or Zelda or hobo kelly type...Also, the other day I forced my kids to watch two episodes of "Dark Shadows". They felt TORTURED. Black and white and H-O-K-E-Y...Later gators. Cruise night or bust. Even Cynthia's coming.

For all those who griped about 1st period swimming, I usually had 2 hours in before that 1st bell rang. Then to the snack shack for 2 cinnamon rolls dripping with butter, and a carton of milk. Only to do it all over again, 8th period to 5 PM. Then return at 7 PM for Hawthorne Swim Club. I think I STILL sweat chlorine.

Hey Ray, It great to hear from you, and glad you found the Feedback Page. This is by far the most important page in Ctown, as it keeps all us old Cougs close.
Yeah get Don a computer and get him up to speed. We need more early Cougs on the website. Brother Tom Shelley is going to be at Cruise Night tonight too. At least that's what he said yesterday. Anyway, catch up on the back Feedback and stay tuned, as this is where you'll hear from lots of your old buds. Thanks Ray......

Message: Just back from Canada, and this site has been going wild...good stuff (mostly). TO CINDY...Didn't know you were related to Adam till I got back...his team took 2nd I think. Cali teams took 15 medals, 7 Gold and was top overall; Ontario (the home of hockey) took 15 but less gold. My teams didn't fare too well (s*%t happens), but we had the most fun. There was a place two blocks away that reminded me of the Wild Goose, and since the legal age in Ontario is 19, go figure! Liz, there were many "pole goddesses" there. I was thinking of changing our team name to the Vampires, cause my kids only slept in the daytime. I know that many young men experienced their "firsts" there....seemed like to many prom dresses in use. Anyway, USA took 6 of 9 platinum (top division) gold medals.
Let's see Gary, did you take the kids to play hockey or have their first "Pole Goddess" experience. No wonder the team "didn't fare too well". Remind me to make sure my grandkids don't play on your team. Hope to see you at Cruise Night tonight.

Confession time: Sometime in the mid to late 60's I was attending Trinity Lutheran Church over on Inglewood Ave. I had attended one of the Youth Group Activities and in the room where the activity was held, there was a Bible. The Bible had been laying around for a few weeks and everytime I was in that room I picked it up and looked through it. I really loved it. Temptation got the best of me and I gave in. I stole it. Kenneth, I still have that Bible and it has your name in it. I would dearly love to return it to you. Do hope someone here at CT can help me return this.
Well Kathleen, Confession is good for the soul and I just know Kenneth is out there somewhere and will get his Bible back. BTW, you my dear will be going straight to hell.
