As I would wish the DAWG'S into the Rosebowl over those godawful Duck uni's. When GOD thought of b-ugly, why did it have to be a PAC TEN team that he wished it on? Jeez, I could even root for the Duck's if I didn't have to look at that thing (that looks like bird...t colors). Although, I'm still a PAC TEN dude.

Message: I've received several responses regarding replacing lost class rings and El Molinos. I've got Herff-Jones checking on the rings and should find out next week if they have the HHS dies. If not, then I'll contact Jostens. If anyone else is interested in replacing your class ring or El Molino please email me at Srbranigan@aol.com with your name, grad class and phone number. If you are planning to attend the Prom in Aug 2001, you really should be fully accessorized with your class ring and your Senior year El Molino. Please be assured that I am doing this out of the kindness of my Cougar heart and am not making any commission. (Plus, I lost my ring in my senior year!)
And a great job you're doing too Sharon. Sharon is also "Shipper Sharon", our Cougartown Tshirt shipper. She goes above and beyond for Ctown and I want to say right now that I DO appreciate all you do. Thanks Sharon for being out there. I want to replace my 61 El Molino too.

Steve had a van all equipped for him to drive and he was quite independent. Jimmy and Grappa John used to work out at Vic Tannys together some years back. I saw Jim about 5 years ago, and he is still great looking, as I'm sure Steve is too. Both guys were good friends of John's brother Nick(74), and sisters Annie(74) and Enza(72). I'll see what kind of update I can get for you, OK? JB, Great pictures of "Bubba"......does that mean your scanner is fixed?????
Nope.....I can't find anyone that can fix this thing.

Message: One of the things I remember about Mr. Dana is the time when I was in 8th grade and my stepdad took me to get my haircut at Satyr's Den on Hawthorne Blvd on the west side of the street away from Hawthorne Intermediate. We went in and sat down and I first noticed that there were some Playboys on the tables in the waiting area. I was dying to grab a copy but was deterred by the presence of my stepdad. Well, after about a minute I looked over at a gentleman who was sitting across the way reading a Playboy that was placed between me and his face! Next thing I know, the barber is calling for "Bill" as the next customer and it was Mr. Dana. After that, he was my hero -- a teacher who had the humanity to read a "porno" mag.

Message: Ken, what do you mean by the big FIVE-O? If you are talking about age, the only age one can know is NOW! Five-O (50) is just a number like any other number, 30,40,60 or in my mother?s case 80. Numbers are useful for such things as keeping score. However, I would rather play the game and have some fun than just keep score. Like Wayne, I too lost my wife. I was in my late thirties and was left with two pre-teen daughters. Hello! Wake up call. Sure things changed. I quit flying and became Mother and Father to my children. I am just now getting on with my life. I am starting to date again (dating sure has changed). I have gotten back into flying after several years? absence and now enjoy flying all over in my own plane. Now I am a skyway cruiser and love to fly anywhere my heart desires.
Ken, you are the driver of your life and 'NOW' is the only time you have, so drive, drive, drive and enjoy life.
AMEN to that.

That left me no time to myself. As time went by and the girls grew up I found I had a lot more time for the things I have always loved (lowriders). 3 years ago I built a 62 Impala. Took it to one car show, and not realizing how much I would miss the car. I sold it right there. So it ws back to the drawing board again. This time I was going to try to out do myself. Well I did and have been haveing fun ever since. So what I'm saying is take the time to do what you enjoy and go for it. 50 should not be the end, it should be the beginning. Be a Coug!

Message: Kinda wondered how others are dealing (or have dealt) with the big five oh. After pondering how I'd spent my time and other resources for about the past 20 years, I realized that what I really like was a fast, decent handling, car. I always liked cars, and I can remember some guys at Hawthorne Intermediate who kept asking me if I was a surfer or a hodad (spelling?) I always answered that I was a hot rodder, inspite of my age. A series of socially irresponsible cars followed for a number of years, but was brought to an end by marriage, some 17 years ago.
But earlier this year I realized I'm married, not dead, so last May I bought a 72 Pantera basket case. The body, along with too many parts, are sitting in my garage now while I build the engine. I can't spend all my time on it, and it'll probably be a 2 year or more project, but it also will reach new heights of social irresponsibility :) If the engine holds together, which it should, it'll be somewhere near 500+ HP at 6500 RPM. Coupled to a 5 speed in a 3000 lb car, should be interesting. I want to try the open road events in Nevada when I'm done, starting in the lower (100 MPH average speed) class, and working my way up.
Anyhow, I guess I'm re-discovering my roots, and dealing with mortality (i.e., turning 50) at the same time. Just wondered if anybody else is doing something similar.
Hey Ken, As soon as my divorce was final, I went out and bought a brand new 1970 Z28, and I was only 26. Talk about irresponsible. Now I subscribe to the "You Only Live Once" theory. I've got "Kermit" (51 Chevy pickup stocker), "Duner" (mid 70's Meyers Manx bodied street buggy, and "Big Red" (1970 Chevelle SS454 with an M22 on the floor. These last two have been garaged for about 15 years but I'll get to them eventually...........OK so I'm STILL irresponsible.
Thanks for the Pantera story. Very nice ride but do not like changing the plugs in that particular model. Be a Coug boy.

Whose name, I see hasn't made it to the site as yet? Also noticed some of my other friends haven't made it either such as Donetta (Donut) Johnson cls 65, Neva Franz CLS 66, Clover Meadows cls 66. I remember ditching lunch and running over to the little store 4 blks. down Shoup to grab some of the best burritos around or going down Inglewood Ave around 130th for some of the biggest & best subs sandwiches ever. Also the night crazy Wankle head butted someone from another football team and split his helmit during the game. Course we won't talk about why they had to paint the windows on the girls locker room by the quad or the time someone ran someone elses underpants up the flag pole. Just a few of the memories I have.

The answer is yes; we lived at 5446 W. 121th Street from 1950 to 1958. Some of the people who have asked this question will be in attendance at the Prom. We thought we would put the word out to see if we could locate any others that lived on that street during that period of time and coax them into coming to the Prom.
