Message: Thank you Judy but you didn't need to identify yourself--I read your comments every night and always wonder what color that prom dress is? Thank you also for inviting me to ckaperone the prom but first a few problems must be solved.
1.The prom isn't until August 2001 and you know I am so darned old I don't even buy green bananas anymore. However I will keep checking the obituaries and if my name does not appear--look for me to attend.
2.Can't make a positive commitment until I see a picture of Aunt Nora and so far John Boy has not posted one.
3.I can only dance to music of my ear--uhwunnaannatwoannah.
4.But think I will buy a ticket and if I am gone you can auction it off with Judy's purple shoes. On second thought maybe I will bequeath it to Aunt Nora -
-Starting to think she just may be my type.
To much already--Buenos Nachos--JORGE
Thanks George, I'm sure you'll still be on the sunny side on the grass by August and as far as Aunt Nora is concerned, I haven't a picture nor heard from Nora or her niece in some time. I think maybe they're both combing the streets of Haytown, looking for that elusive Prom date. I also believe we can summon up a little champagne music for you on Prom Night. Be a Coug Jorge and we'll see you in August.
PS. If you see Wally Nyman and Hal Wetzler up there on the hill, please extend a Prom Night invitation to them both.

Message: Just a quick check in, just finished another whirlwind 60 hour work week. Thanks for the radio tip Bill, I think I ran across KSCN, not to long ago, as my younger daughter is really into classical music (hard to believe isn't it).
Did my eyes deceive me or did I see stuff from Dewey Storie, jeeze I haven't seen him since I went to our ten year reunion. Glad to hear he is still around, and able talk about it.
I want to make a quick plug, for my kid's Brownie troup #158, Hawthorne. On November 18, they are having a Official Nut sale, in front of the Toy's R Us in Hawthorne. I will be helping around 2:30PM, if anyone want's to drop by, say hi and buy the nuts. Yes, I already know this isn't ethical, but I just wanted my kids troup to do good in the sale. After all I am a proud Mom.
As for the memories of KMET, does anyone remember Paraquat Kelly doing a news storie about a "Loon Calling Contest," in the late seventies? This sort of made a little town in Wisconsin famous for a time. My husband was the one that gave ol' Paraquat the story idea, as this was the town his folks now live in.
Anyway gotta go, I will keep you all posted on the final details of the Girl Scout nut sale. I hope everyone will have a happy safe, dry, Halloween. I hate to disappoint everyone in Wiseburn this year, we won't be having the live ghoul in our front yard this year, the girl who plays her has other plans. I will try for the wicked witch but won't promise anything yet. The ghoul was a real hit with all the locals last year, really scared the pants off the trick or treaters.
Anyway Happy Halloween everyone!

Message: Tom Burroughs... Yea my bro was a pretty mean dude on the football field. He was also awarded best blocker on the Pioneer League Championship team circa 57/58. In 56, my frosh yr (he was a jr), he broke three guys legs in that season. Some wonder why the "crackback" was outlawed finally. Thats one of the biggest reasons I know of. Yet it was completely legal in those days. But it took some 20 or 30 yrs to say "jeez someone could get hurt". He weighed a whopping 155lbs in his jr and sr yrs. When he put his "hat" on, he was one tough Sumgun. Good that you remember him. I'll e-mail him (he's the shy one) and tell him he's been recognized in C-TOWN history. Thanks Tom and Dave Roelen if you ever read this, where the heck are the rest of you "58" dude's that put me through so much hell. Come back and say hello. ALSO...Steve Anderson, Bob Milazzo, Al Geverink any of you class of 60 people, put your name up here. We don't want your money (now anyway) and won't intrude on your space.

Terry's dad Bill was one of the finest men I have ever known. Shortly before meeting Terry my own father and just passed away, Bill Trefz sort of took me in. He, Terry and I would go fishing and hunting. He would always drive us to the Friday night fooball games. Today when my son and I go fishing I always remember the good times I had with Terry and his dad.

Jim Ladd comes on at 10pm and takes you to the early am hours (usually barricaded himself and Paraquat in the studio to continue his commercial free ROCKTOBER in November) and of course Dr. Demento from 6pm until 10 pm every Sunday. Jim Hawkins (73) had a standing poker game every Sunday. PARTY FAVORS. DR. D and poker/ way cool! Good Memories ( I am pretty sure??!!) The car thing-Geez! My first car I got from my older sister, Patsy, and it was a 1964 Blue Dodge Dart with the push button transmission. My oldest brother Jimmy worked on it for me and I have no idea what he did to it but it was fun. My mom had originally bought it at Prince Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge on Hawthorne Blvd over in Lennox area. Jimmy had a Ford Falcon that was fast and my brother Bobby had a sweet '61 Chevy Impala. My dad always had a Ford Country Squire station wagon! We lived next door to the Trefz' family. Dad Bill owned the Signal (then Exxon) on 120th an Inglewood Ave. His son Lanny had a fast back Plymouth Barracuda just like the Hemi-Under-Glass. Lanny used to race it at Lion's all the time. He also started building AA fuelers in his driveway and sold them as fast as he could assemble. He and my brother, Jimmy, had more fun with HPD and LA Sheriff and their cars! John, thanks for all the fun and memories and avenues for communication you have enabled with this "Totally Bitchin'" web site.
Thanks Jack, for all the KMET memories, and I too remember T&R Signal on 120th and Inglewood Av. only I'm old enough to remember Terry.

Also, Mo Trott will be whipping up some great name badges for us.

Message: RE: PROM NITE~~ Here the answers to some good questions I've been asked.
1> Date: SATURDAY - AUG 18 FROM 6:PM to 1:AM.
2> Price: $75.00 per person.
DINNER IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE. This will not be a sit down dinner.~~~~~"Stations" are hot & cold tables much like you'd find at a serve yourself buffet.. food will be replenished throughout the evening, so that you can go back for as much as you want..anytime you want. Janet & I still have to work out the menu. but we'll try to have something for everyone. ie. white meat-red meat-veggies-and gooey things too..This includes food such as carved meat-pasta-salads-side dishes-desserts- soft drinks and coffee.. However, you will have to pay for the any alcoholic beverages yourself.. (Gordo Red may be free, as it always has been)
3> The dress is dressy~like something you'd wear to a reunion or wedding.. but if you want to wear a formal, be our guest.. just be comfortable.
4> Music will be from the 50's 60's & 70's. DOO WOP-ROCK & ROLL & SLOW DANCING. (hence-ONE SUMMER NIGHT) This prom is open to everyone that can appreciate the earlier years - no matter what your age. And I happen to know that there's a lot of Cougs from the 80's and 90's that do.. ..and all Cougs are invited. from 1954 - 2000.
5> We've hired a great DJ that will play all the songs just the way we heard them the first time around. No--there will not be a live band.
6> We'll offer pictures to be taken..just as we did for the prom.
7> John Baker will post the info you will need to purchase your tickets on OCT 31st, along with the address to which you will send your money. You can pay half of the full amount then, or just pay in full. Either way your ticket will be reserved. First come, first serve.
8. Cougartown will post the names of the people that purchase tickets as they're bought. This way you can see "who you're gonna see" when you get there..
Thanks to all of you for your questions, and for answering the second questionnaire. Prom Night 2001 is going to happen, and I hope this will get you out there to ROCK & ROLL with us one more time.
Now.. where's that velco?
Judy DeGrazia Blomsterberg
We've had such a great response to the Prom Night questionnaire and some good points have been made. One that concerns me is the question:
What if someone is on vacation or is just plain on the road, and hasn't seen or doesn't know about the tickets going on sale next week? Maybe some people frankly don't have the money right now to send in for a Prom next August.

So to make this fair for all, we'll sell the tickets in two phases. On October 31st, 350 tickets will go on sale. These will be sold on a first come first serve basis. We'll go by postmarks and when 350 are sold we stop selling tickets. If your postmark is from a foreign country and you're number 351, don't worry, you're in.
The remainder of the tickets will go on sale at a later date. Thanks again Cougs and if you have any questions please email me or judywudy@att.net.

And as far as "POP" goes, I wrote one of my stories a few hundred pages ago. After we had kicked Samohi's butt, yes we did beat them physically, in 59, JJ and I went to POP with some other Cougs wearing our BAY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP JACKETS. What a rush! We went on the coaster...she was completely against this little venture as she hated any kind of speed, except when she could push a gas pedal in her Dad's truck. Well, I talked her into the big adventure, wrong idea! I had fingernail marks(gash'es) in both wrists and I still to this day don't understand how she could do this to me and have her "watchband" imprinted in her wrist for almost a week!... Irene Callahan am also looking forward to seeing you and your spouse next year. Thanks for your help again. Saay....Do the DUCKS have a bus stop to catch the express to the Rose Bowl.
