Message: Well, now I have 2 reasons to go to "Taste of Newport" at Fashion Island on Sunday - the Beach Boys and my daughter. Any of you Cougs that go there, go to the Yard House booth and ask for Brandi - she's the cutie with the huge smile. And speaking of hunky teachers, does anyone remember Mr. Featherstone from the Business Dept. in the mid to late 60's? He taught typing, and his classes were naturally full of girls drooling over him. He made me cut my nails once - my speed and accuracy dropped so badly so fast, that he always let me keep them long from then on. To this day I can't type with short nails. And Judy Wudy, I love the idea of Prom Night!!! Count me in to help in any way you need me. Billy Cusac, you take care. Bob and I will NEVER forget you -- you know what I mean. Neither will our mom. To my brother Mike, thanks for the birthday wish, big bro. Hope you're feeling better. Yep, I hit the big 5-0 last Monday. Gina Peck, my daughter is also a Wiccan, so if you get to the "Taste of Newport" Sunday, you BE SURE to look her up. I am also beginning study. Dale Hahlbeck, will you ever forgive me? And say hello to your Uncle George from the "Yellow Rose of Texas". Hopefully he'll remember - he used to play that song for me thru his window.

She would wear these totally sexy outfits, and prop herself on the corner of her desk. Every guy in the room would be falling out of his chair. She would brag about how she wasn't just a teacher, she also did some modeling, or something like that. I don't think any of the guys actually learned anything, but we had the biggest Russian club ever! Hadn't thought about her in a long time. What a hoot!

Norm and I share, along with others, a common interest in the old logging town of Johnsondale, now known as the R-Ranch in the Sequoias. Upon my return, I have been catching up on some of the past feedback. It is truly a "blast from the past", especially the fun and culinary delights talk about at Pink's. Can't remember the last time I was there. When is the next run John? In the more recent feedback, there has been much said about "cheesecake", this makes me hungry, how about a cheeseburger? For all you cheeseburger lovers, there is a web-site called "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" where, almost all burger and hot dog stands from coast-to-coast are listed. Check it out and see if your favorite place is listed. John I am still shirtless! See ya, Donald
Hey Donald, I just this minute got back from the silk screener and we will have shirts by next Wednesday.
On another sad note for the 62ers, Jan Pitkanen past away on August 28th. It's been a sad month for our class indeed.

Don't think I had him or I'm sure I'd remember ( like I said, equal opportunity for us gals, too, why the heck not). And Dan, if you did remember or notice Pat Macha's looks, I'd really wonder about you hon, the ladies man you are and all! = ) Cindy Whittaker, good to see ya, sweetie! Well, I finally caught up with you,hon...the big 40, and know what? Feels pretty darned good. Don't have a problem with it at all, so you and the girls go out to Palm Springs and break it in good, ya here, and drink a toast for me too, while you're all at it!

I know yours is bigger and much more detailed than the one we are having up here, but as 2 very wise sages told me ( and one of them is the guy here who writes in the blue ink), don't stress it, enjoy it and hey, just have fun! That, after all, is what it is supposed to be all about in the first place. Things will fall as they may. I have to say a HUGE thank you to Raymond Smith for having the dream and inspiring me to help him achieve it and to Mike....hey, buddy, you are generous to a fault. I can't believe you! Hell, all I did was e-mail people, how hard is that. Those 2 guys deserve, as far as I'm concerned, all the credit! Way to go Ray and Mike! You 2 make me so proud to be a Coug!

Message: Hello Kathleen Griffin. Of course I remember you. I remember you not only because you could play a chromatic scale but you were also a lovely person. You are absolutely correct. I drove the oldest car at Hawthorne High during that period. It was a 1939 BUICK town sedan, black with 5 inch white walls. I even recall that evening. After that party I continued on to the AFS Xmas party and I ended up being talked into driving to Mr. Kirtpatrick's so we could TP his house. I could tell you a lot more but Mr. Wetzler maybe reading this. Having a car that large was a plus when someone wanted to transport a large group. You could get at least six people on the running boards and if you had a few small people (the Gunther sisters) you could get 8 inside with out any trouble. I had that car until a couple of years ago. The only reason I sold it (I use to say I was going to be buried in it) is that I stored it in Palm Springs and it didn't have A/C, AUTO and POWER WINDOWS. I have become a creature of comfort. My other vintage cars have the above mentioned accessories and to this day I enjoy driving them. Do you recall all of the fundraisers we were apart of? Maybe you and I can sponsor a fundraiser for CT. A CARWASH perhaps. Please give my best to Pat Louder, I remember her also. Do you hear from any of the other band members?

This whole thing started with Ray wanting to get some folks together Anita took it from there and here we are ready to go.

Message: After spending the last several days trying to catch up on Feedback, I have a couple of things to add to both the Nudie-QT establishments and the Hottest Teacher posts. Judy, get out the glow-in-the-dark rosary! I had a teacher at St. Joe's who also worked part-time as a dancer at the Kit Kat Club (John, I'm sure you must know the location) on Hawthorne Blvd. Seems that when the parent/teacher conferences came around, her and my dad recognized each other right away! As for male teachers at HHS in the '70's... Noel Smith was on that list with Pat Macha. I clearly remember that every female wanted to be his T.A. and Science suddenly became our favorite class. For those of you who didn't have Cindy Crum for English, she was one of the best teachers at HHS and by far the kindest person I've ever met.
Thanks again, Cindy! And.... thanks again, John.
After the parent/teacher conference, did Dad shove a dollar bill in her waist band?

Surely your funds would be overflowing by then wouldn't it???? It's funny how page 300 would land on a weekend unless we all stop talking then it would probably land on a Monday and since football is back those two shouldn't be on the same day. Linda, bud!

The jaguar is my dream car and I think it all started with seeing hers. She was my FAVORITE teacher of all time! Mrs. Schaller, Tony Levizon, and I talked during class of liking to go fishing, so she told Tony and I to bring our fishing poles to 6th grade camp and she'd take us fishing. We got out of taking that tiring, boring hike to go fishing. We didn't catch anything but we surely couldn't tell everyone that so we found a dead fish floating on the edge of the stream and brought it back and told everyone we "caught" it....she was too cool!!!
