Message: Hey There,
I was getting my hair cut this afternoon ( no, it doesn't take very long ) and gabbing with my barber about his kids and my kids and found out that his daughters went to Mayfair High just a couple years after my sons did. I asked him if either one of them had Ms. Valencia for art and he didn't know. But one of the other barbers spoke up and said he had Ms. valencia at Lynwood High around 1969 and that he was crazy about her. His name is Eddie Mesta. Does that ring any bells Ricki? If it does he'd like to say hello sometime.
Hey John ( you big ol teddy bear you ) didn't you feel like you were cheating on me when you went to Long Beach without me ???
Jilted again;

I looked all through the teachers page and didn't see anything about my favorite teacher, Karna Gottdener. She taught ceramics and was just my favorite teacher. She was so easy going and always had time for her students. She was always fun full of ideas and I thought so cool because she drove a porsche. Does anyone out there remember her or know where she is. I would really like tell her how special it was to have her as a teacher and friend at a time I really needed one.
Please let me know if anyone knows where she is so I can get in touch with her!
Thanks, Jodi

Later we can plan a school reunion in Victorville for all those on their WAY to Vegas Shhhhh). Now I am really looking forward to moving there and meeting some fellow alumni!!

I've been planning a similar event, and it would be Way-Cool if everyone would just jump on the band wagon and go there the same weekend. I noticed that no one has ventured a date yet, so how about the weekend of March 12-14. Yes, I mean less than one month from now. But hey, if there's one thing a good Cougar can do, it's party at the drop of a hat; even if it means crossing a state line to do so.
There's a few former Cougars that are already planning to go along with me that weekend; Karen Snyder ('74), her younger sister Marlene, possibly even Michelle Vickers ('75) out from Hamilton.
Let's get this ball rolling, whadda say!
So anyone else that wants to join up with us, we're staying at the Rio Suites. Look us up that weekend - we dare ya.

Message: Mr. Key, Coach Minami didn't take me cause I had a broken leg. My math teacher was the guy who's coffee gave our entire classroom the distinct smell of liquor mixed with hot coffee. I'm sure you know who he was. But I don't blame anyone for my not so perfect grades at HHS but myself. But, I'm sure if you knew what I have accomplished and done since HHS you would be proud. And I did it all without graduating in the upper 10% of my class. Even though my past has been awesome I wish I could have my days at HHS back, because I would have done things a little different. I had fun then and I have fun now. No regrets. This web site brings back some great memories. It's my past memories and my future that keeps my present in perspective.

Message: ALLRIGHT!! I'M HERE!! Actually, was waiting for the assessment from the other attendees before relating my own experience.....YES, they were a motley crew. But it was WONDERFUL to spend the evening with them. We arrived and began finding each other -- had seen John in the restaurant and thought to myself, that must be him but he acted rather nonchalant so I figured I'd just wait it out. Turns out, he is EXACTLY as I imagined him. Big ol' teddy bear of a guy and with a very nice face. And he is right. Somehow, I just KNEW him. You ALL need to get (or make) the opportunity to meet him. After all, don't you too want to be on the "hit list"? (hahahahahahaha) Jorge Llave is the funniest, goofiest, happiest guy I've met in a long time. Either that or we really drove him over the edge in the 72-80 era. But I like to think that we just built a little extra character in him. Alan, Tom Mosher told us the story about meeting you in Parker - how funny! I think you scared the bejeebers out of him showing up in your patrol car at his home unannounced! YOU should have been there with us. Would love to have visited with you too....Patty and Glo are the two funniest girls in the universe. It was a pleasure to meet Jerry and Danny Fix is just a kick. I think the next meeting will be scheduled in a less busy, more flexible setting. We sat at an oblong table which limited our ability to mingle but we tried. I didn't get to spend near the time I wanted to with each of the guests. And the time flew by.....Funny stories, lots to laugh at and about, warm fuzzies, new friendships, sharing memories. We had each brought memorabilia, - I had brought my bound edition of Cougars from 72-73 year and it was amazingly coincidental that EACH person at the table (except John) was highlighted somewhere in the papers published that year. And almost all in the first few issues.....EVEN the Green Phantom! Can we do this again - please??!! You are ALL too funny. Sorry I took so long to check in.....

Message: Jodi, If you really loved me you'd be here with me. Oh well I guess I'll just have to wait for whenever we do get together. About my daughter... I have one in high school now. Although I don't live with her and her mom (but I do see her all the time and in fact stay at their house when I visit) I got to be my dad lately. Jaime (her name) recently got a "F" on a math test (just like her good old dad) When her mom called me to tell me about the grade she had me talk to her. Since I could relate to her less than average grade I decided to give her some 21st century wisdom. After asking why she did so bad and was satisfied with the answer I promptly told her not to worry because there are calculators and computers she can use to do her math. She really liked the way I scolded her. Well, when she went back to school and her friends asked her what happened to her she told them my advice. She also told her teacher what I said. Well a week went by and the next test grades came in. Jaime passed with a "B" but two of her friends got "F's". When asked why they got the grade they did the two girls told them that Jaimes dad is right and that they can just use a calculator or computer to do all their work when they get older. Boy, that is when the (*^(% hit the fan. The teacher and principal called Jaime's mom. In which she quickly blamed me and then I got a call requesting my presence at the school in the principal office (flashback). Well I went to this apparent meeting with my daughters teacher and principal. Immediately they all changed their tone when they saw me but sitting in the small desk and looking up at these two figures brought back so many memories of my great times at HHS. I love being my dad and I know Jaime loves me being her dad.
