Message: RE: PROM NITE TICKETS AUG 18... I understand via Skip Kelly & Doris Donaldson that some Cougs want to purchase PROM NITE tickets.. but are puterless. "Say it isn't so Skip & Doris!" Since it's my duty to reach out a touch someone, (don't go there John) it behooves me to mention that you can fill out the info on toilet paper or a plain brown paper bag.. and mailed to John Baker~(address at bottom of this feedback) and here is that needed info: First name: Maiden name: Last name:
Class of:
Date's name: (if applies)
Did date attend HHS?:
If date attended HHS~CLASS OF:
Purchaser's address:
City:
State:

With that info mail your payment (check or money order is fine) of $75.00 per person, or half as a deposit.. balance due June 1.
Send to:

JOHN BAKER
P.O. BOX 1406

Make the check out to John Baker
and--voila!! you're in.. See, no problemo..
I'm hoping that any of you Cougs that have friends that need the venue info will pass it on, or contact me at my email address judywudy@att.net and I'll be happy to pull you thru. (don't go there John)
Now back to my quest. Judy Wudy Blomsterberg
When it's right, it's easy...
Sounds like a winner to me. Actually if any of you have friends that want to join in the Prom Night fun, you can fill out the form for them, or print it out and let them fill in the blanks. That might make it a little easier. Thanks Judy......

I also had her as my spanish teacher and remained friends with her until her passing. If it is any comfort she had a very good outlook up until the end and didn't have to suffer for a long time. Her husband is still in South Orange County and dealing with things very well. Well thats all for now. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year in case I don't get a chance to write in any time before.

He was truly one of the nicest and friendliest people you will ever meet in your life. Like most of us I haven't kept in close contact with many of my old buddies. I think about them alot. My two bestest friends and who I've known since I was 7 years old in Little League is Kurt Morlock and Greg Staffon. I am so lucky that we all still stay in touch. When I read about Mike even though I didn't stay in touch it hit me. I think about some of the times we had. I will miss him not so much for me but for the people who were close and saw and found out WHAT A GUY he is. My feelings go out to those people. Robert Sanchez I'll be here in Vegas as far as I know. Call my cell at 702-278-5897 and we'll get together.

John, This is a friend of (Big Mac) Michael E. McClain from Bakersfield. He passed away today 12/13/00 and if you could pass this information on to his friend's and fellow Cougars we would greatly appreciate it.
Friends of Big Mac
PS as soon as we hear of the funeral arrangements we will send them to you so you can notify his friends, or E-mail Teena1bzb@aol.com or Shovelish@aol.com
Big Mac, Thanks for all you did in life to make other people's lives better. Janet and I, along with Harry Plotkin and Kathy Brooks, thoroughly enjoyed the Junior Philharmonic at the Shrine Auditorium last July that you so generously provided. Thanks also for the ten year membership to Cougartown. I just know if you and I had been at HHS at the same time we would've been "joined at the hip" friends.
Most of all, thanks Big Mac for being my friend, albeit for such a short time. I will miss you.

Got all the upgrades. I saw at CompUSA today laptop for around $1,200. I guess it depends on what you use it for. John when I get settled in back in Hawaii I will send you my dues past and present. Sorry I haven't done it ever before but I just forget things. Sorry. And I'm now not leaving till January 3 or 9. It's not cold here in Vegas unless you think in the 50's is cold. Can't wait to get back to the 80's in Hawaii. If you don't have anything to do on New Years they said here they will be putting on a fireworks show that will be far better than last years. All up and down the strip they will be firing off fireworks from 14 different locations on the strip. Should be nice. KDJ
