Message: John, That's class of *73*. Quit trying to make me older than I already am. And Dennis' crime was "Impersonating a Dove Hunter". Too bad they didn't get the the shot from a few minutes later, when he resisted. Even the LAPD would have been impressed. I'll bet he's still washing the pepper out of his eyes. (And why did he keep asking where the mink lining was on the cuffs?)
Sorry about that Alan. Yeah, knowing Dennis, he was looking for a flyway in the middle of Hahlbecks bar. I'm telling you, don't play pool with the boy either. He'll only hurt you.

Message: I'm not saying debates are boring, but Janny's in the living room..spitting and sputtering & shaking his fists....and I'm so bored that I'm starting to ask myself, "I wonder how they make bricks.." so, I'll just take advantage of this prozac moment to say that the PROM NITE head count is pretty good at this point.. this is just the preliminary, but more than we expected.. the 60's came in strong. So keep your eyes on COUGARTOWN for more details and instructions as we decide all the particulars.. Please don't miss this dance, we're planning some great reinactments from our youth.. (don't go there John) I've even heard that Bob Fraser is going to do a "DUKE OF EARL" skit.. his wife said he's been practicing with a curtain rod & afghan.. & John Rout is going to show us how he came in second only to a professional dancer back in the 60's.. as for me..just put on Tommy Edwards and I'm there..
How does "ONE SUMMER NIGHT" sound for the theme??????
Now, I'm off like a prom dress again.

Great debate. Mom "B" I'm not too sure your guy didn't do a tap dance all over his tongue tonight. JUST KIDDING!!! Hey, we're all Americans and I say we can vote for whoever we darn well want to as long as my guy wins. Thanks Judy for the Prom update. Can't wait to see Bob "The Animal" Fraser HHS60 do his Gene Chandler impression.

Kathy, You have been corrected (first time I've corrected a teacher too). You will have to stay after and clean erasers for that one. The Wilsons are from Hawthorne, as is Al Jardine.
Now who out there remembers Mrs. (Hubbard) Hansen from Eucalyptus Elementary? We know you're out there, so don't try to hide behind the person in front of you.....step forward and say hi!!!

Message: Zabriskie Point! That brings back memories. Actually it was filmed about 1968 and it used Prairie and 120th. They put some money into the old liquor store and bar across from the airport. They stored police cars at the Hawthorne airport at the time and a couple of cougars who shall remain nameless use to take the cars while employed at night at the airport and drive around the streets. Equipped with sirens and lights they MAY have even pulled over a couple of cars, but it seems a little foggy now. It was a for the two nameless individuals, a real blast to report for work during those 4 weeks of shooting. Gomer and Barney reporting for duty!

Message: It has been a hard few weeks for our classmates. I also went all the way thru school with Karen Cook. I had the PLEASURE of having the locker right next to her in 8th Grade at DANA. Boy I never missed a chance to get my books out of my locker that year! My heart goes out to her Friends and Family. She also was very warm and friendly to me. I thought she was as charming as she was beautiful. When I finally started El Camino after 3 years in the service, she was the only one I every ran into that I knew there. She would take the time to talk with me and make me laugh about how I used to accidently alot bump into her in 8th Grade. She had the ability to make those around her feel special. I remember talking to her at the class of 77 10 year reunion. She was surrounded by a group of guys and she had told the group she was about to become single again. If I recall this right, there were a bunch of excited guys all of a sudden. But she should also be remembered for all her other talents as well. She was a one of a kind person. I hope she did not suffer with her illness. I pray for her and her family that they can find peace, because she is WAY to young to have left this earth.
