And Frank Robs- You-Romano could pitch in. Time to awaken the moles of the outfit. Ingrid Larceny Larson, are you listenin?
Note: OK, but I'm NOT goin' without backup see. So Alan "Rubber Hose" Nelson, the Pro Bono Cougartown bodyguard will have to make it up from Parker to watch my backside while I'm hobnobbin' with dah mob girls. Come on Alan, no drinkin' on the job, but I'll buy you a beer AFTER the B's and V's have left the building.....whattayasay? OH.... and bring Tom Mosher with you, but don't let him play with the siren on the way up.

Message: Oh, wait a second. What is that I hear? Oh I think it is silence. Finally after 8 straight days (except for one wild reunion dinner) my children were well enough to go back to school. I can visit Cougartown again. I can be 17 again. Whoopppeeeeee. Ok. What about this lawlessness? And, ALAN, what do you mean we don't look exactly the same as we did 25 years ago? Didn't you read the male guidebook of how to answer female questions? What is wrong with you? And the mini reunion was not held to exclude people, it was a wonderful excuse to buy John dinner since it seemed like the B girls and the V girls arrived en masse and ate Cougartown! :>) We, and I'm sure I speak for all of us, well, I'd like to think I speak for most of us. Maybe I'm just speaking for me, think it would be great to revisit Margaritaville with a bunch of alumni. I think the 76'ers should buy since they can afford to go on a cruise for their next reunion. Or maybe the 1-800 guy, oh wait, he's already springing for the reunion fling. OK, maybe we should go dutch. If any non-HHSers try to break in on the party, I'll get da enforcer to bounce them out. And, I like the 'handle' Jorge Llave. Good job, JL. Thanks for the pictorial John, although there aren't many people who live outside of the witness protection program who know these things about the gang. This internet is really hurting our confidentiality.
Note: "Well dip me in Skid Row bath water and roll me through a Flop House!!" It's....It's "The Brains" AKA: "Squirts McGee". They're almost all back. I won't sleep all night tonight, that's for sure. You know.....come to think of it, we haven't heard from "Jorge" in a few days. I wonder.........

Message: The V and B girls still look great! V-1 and I
(V-3) will show at our next reunion. I am glad that all of you had a great time. No one would have gotten a word in edgewise if all the V's and B's were together at the same time. However, now that you have been exposed to 50% of the V-girls, you can be transitioned into the full complement. V-5 and V-6 are already contemplating the next get together. I would love for it to be here in Las Vegas. We would have a blast!
I hear you are quite the man, John!
Note: Well if it isn't V3 AKA: "Back Alley Sally"
You're not gonna get me to let MY guard down by giving me that old "QUITE A MAN" line nosiree!! I bet you'd like to get us all in Las Vegas wouldn't ya'..... You know, take us for a "little ride" out by the Lake. I don't think so missy. I haven't heard from Ray Castillo in a couple of days. Gee...... I hope he didn't go through Vegas on his way to the Mardi Gras. :o)

Message: Hey There,
You did a great job on Bob Frasers " CAR TALK " page. I don't seem to remember the car at all. He probably bought it about the time I started going with Barbara and 409 Chevys didn't seem all that important to me any more (What an idiot).
I do remember Bob though, He lived right next door to the Shelleys and he had his own "pad" right behind his moms house. Bob had every record that a black group made between 1955 and 1965. He was definitely the king of Rhythm and Blues. I think he worked at the Green Farms BBQ joint part time as well.
When I read about you sitting in his 409 at Kenneth Chevrolet it reminded me of late 1962 when Kenneth got in the very first split window, fast-back Stingray Corvette. I was sitting in that thing ( and lusting for it )wondering how anyone could afford $4,000.00 for a new car...I'm no closer to buying one now than I was then.....Keep up the good work.
M.S.
Note: Hey Michael, Just talked to Big Bob Fraser last night and asked him if he wanted to go to the Long Beach car swap meet on Sunday. I know you're going to the cabin this weekend or you coulda' come with us. Have a good time and I'll talk to you next week.

He was an extra in the movie Animal House. He is all over that movie. Next time you see the movie, watch for the scene when the pledges first show up at the "animal house". Gary is in the group of guys playing cards. He's got a cigarette hanging from his mouth.You can't miss him.

While I'm here I seem to have lost two very important yearbooks. 71/72 and 72/73. If anyone has extras, or knows where to obtain them, please e-mail me with the info and your price. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all and God Bless.

Message: Big John Baker isn't telling the whole story here... GO HERE if you want the whole sordid story on what
really went down in MB Saturday night. Now that my covers blown I'll have to go underground... Too bad, hard to work on a tan down there. Mr. Key managed to retain his sterling reputation by only pretending to imbibe; I caught a glimpse of him pouring his Shirley Temple into the potted plant - Don't mention the fact that it was a silk plant... Mr.JB, it was TOO MUCH FUN meeting you. Let's all pinkie swear to get together again REAL SOON. We need room to roam around next time; too hard to swap spy stories sitting around a table. I nominate Patty "The Brains" abode (aka "hole in the wall." I'd offer my house but the
sheriff doesn't allow mobsters into our part of town. Sue "Iceman" King wasn't looking for her eyeglasses, she was looking for her margarita glass. Good thing it wasn't on her head! (Yet!) The one to watch is Glo "The Enforcer"
aka V6- she sneaks up on ya! Big Al of course has lots of splainin to do, now that the beans are spilled. Griffon, my ... er... foot! And Jerry LeBlanc, what a pleasure to meet the only sane person at the table (aside from moi.) Mr. Fix you are still a nut, just as Glo used to describe you in High School. Mr. Mosher, what a pleasure to meet you, as I said, I wanted to take auto shop in HS but my dad said NO WAY-
girls don't take auto shop. Now of course I can't even change a flat tire. I think he was afraid I'd meet a masher in class... not a MOSHER.
We all have John Baker to thank for this reunion; a nicer guy I haven't met. Thanks, John, you're a peach! Okay everyone - all together now - PINKIE SWEAR !
Note: Sharon AKA: Swifty, I had a blast with you guys the other night and I "pinkie swear" on a stack of El Molinos that I'll be there next time too. That George Key can "Party" can't he. A nicer guy, they haven't made yet, and Al...OOPs, I mean Daryl; I was just clownin' with that Griffon joke. What the "H-E-double hockey sticks" is a Griffon anyway. Now if we could just get Sue "The Ice Man" to loosen up a bit. :o)
And to "Patty dah Brains" and "Gloria dah Enforcer", and all the rest. You are the greatest. Maybe next time we can get the other "V" girls to show. Thank you all for a wonderful evening. It just went too darned fast.

Now for the real scoop. Brother, do those educators drink :>). It was a fun night, especially reading everyone's El Molino! Good food, fun, new and renewed friendships. And we all looked great before and after the 4th or 5th pitcher. Whose house should we tp next, B girls? And Beverly, you would have been proud of Gloria and me too. I also had a blast going to the bathroom not just with one girl, but 3. It WAS just like high school. Except when Danny Fix walked us out to the parking lot it was to look at pictures of grandchildren, even though he still had a chance to check up on us to make sure that life was treating us well. You can take the teacher out of school, but you can't take the teacher caring out of a person, eh? Thanks to all of you for joining us, and, let's all bring a friend other than George Key.

Message: Sounds like a riotous shindig! And how WERE the tools, uh, margaritas? Even Mr. Danny Fix was there, huh? Reminds me of an unforgettable night in Nyman Hall. We were in the middle of a Wizard of Oz performance, and I was seriously singing "Over the Rainbow". For some unknown reason, the entire audience was cracking up. My fragile self-esteem suffered until I realized that my darling Toto was on the other side of the stage nosing around on the bed as if she were preparing to, well, let's say, leave her mark. I'm not sure I ever recovered... Was anyone there that night?

Message: I just have to say that I went to dinner with the Elite of the 70's Alumni and Faculty tonight. Mr George Key, you are the greatest. Now I know why everyone thinks the world of you.
Mr. Danny Fix was there. What a great guy. He also wants to set the record straight on the little rascals thing. He wasn't one of the little rascals, He was in the silents, before the little rascals with Mickey Rooney, then known as Mickey McGuire. I can see why he was so well liked by all who knew him.
Tom Mosher was there too. He's now teaching in Parker AZ. Alan Nelson, Tom said to say hi to you. I guess these two ex HHSers are neighbors now.
Jerry LeBlanc class of 73 was there. Thanks Jerry for showing up. It was nice to meet you too. Nice people, those 73ers.
Then there were the Biermans (Sharon and Sue. Beverly, I don't know where you get Sue as being shy :o) you have two here that you can be extremely proud of. OH, and Daryl, you're OK too.) ,and the Valencias (Gloria and Patty). Gloria came all the way from Las Vegas to be there tonight and Patty didn't hardly get rowdy all night :o). What can I say......well they bought my dinner OK. No really they aren't that bad. :o) Just Kidding. I loved these people. I know the next time we do this, it will be even MORE relaxed. I actually hadn't met ANY of these people before. Yet it seemed I knew them all. We had a great time and, like most reunions, the time went way too fast. There will be pictures of this mini-reunion so be looking for them. Thank you all for buying my dinner and thanks for everything. I'm calling the Cougar "Towner". He's peering down at me from on top of my monitor where he'll stay. OH and we WILL do this again.
