I don't remember her having the hots for Robert Poorman. But, do you or any other Coug in here know her whereabouts? I lost contact with her in the mid 80's and am so bummed about it! Barb was so much fun and so cool! Last I heard, she was with Mike McClain and was, I think, engaged to be married. Any help with Barb will be greatly appreciated.

THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30. * EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM. * A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25. * SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5. ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF. * THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29. * WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR???????????
You don't add the 2 dollars to the 27 dollars, you subtract the 2 dollars from the 27 dollars which makes it 25 dollars. Glad I could help you with your math lesson.

Message: Looks like a lot of activity here in the feedback section this past week or two. Hope all had a good holiday season.
While it looks like Kelly was pulling Judy's chain about Oregon Cougar's attending prom night I found all of Kelly's comments to be based in fact. I don't know what locals think they are going to spend for the evening but when I gave the costs a once over for me and the misses, it looks like the figure would come to close to $1000. For many that is still a lot of money for a few hours of fun. Making plans for something 8 or more months out can also be difficult. Not all can get away whenever they want.
For those complaining about the recent rains, don't blame Oregon, we've not had much this season. If we don't start catching up soon it's going to be a dry summer. We do have water rationing here on occassions.
Last month, Dorris and I were talking (e-mail) about this subject and I said I thought a big event like this could possibly be more successful if held at some public vacation spot lasting up to a week where people could come and go when needed to and had many places of interest near-by for entertainment. My thought at the time would be someplace like Tahoe. Camping, water activities, hiking, side trips over the Reno, Carson City, Virginia City, etc. Lots of time for group activities and possibly big campfires for good talks with old and new friends. Something to think about for the future.
Nice to see Tom Burroughs posting again after about a months absence. Web TV problems Tom?
Hi Mickey, I agree that Prom Night isn't for all Cougs. We try to have low budget stuff like Pinks Runs and Cruise Nights. Actually Prom Night is the first high budget event for Ctown. Last year we had Wine Country Weekend in Sonoma. I would love to do that one again this year too. If you can't make it to Prom Night, no one's going to be upset. Mike Hinsch, Anita Hill, etal had a Cougar reunion last year for the Pacific Northwest Cougs. Also, we planned Prom Night far enough ahead so that we can get a nice room, and so the out of state Cougs can make vacation plans.

First we've got to get a few friends to nibble with us (about Prom Night!) Hey Louise how 'bout it...are you going?
Hi Michelle, Glad you're still out there. As for knowing who checks in, that's not in my bag of tricks. As an example, I can tell if an AOLer signed in, but not who that person is, so that narrows is down to about 500 people on the website.
Lots of people from the Lancaster-Palmdale-Quartz Hill area. Hope you all make it to Prom Night. We need the 70's people too.

Message: DJ - As I, for a living (you call this a living?) spend a whole lot of time in long cylindrical (sp?) objects I hope one of your cases never includes me. I've spent the last 15 years in International Sales, Marketing & Operations for computer related companies. In '91 I actually sold everything (well almost, couldn't get rid of the wife and dog at the garage sale) and left the Silicon Valley for a four year stint in Europe. Set up shop for a US company then was asked to return to HQ (hence the MN address). All in all this is a real good place to live (I don't tell the natives though). Good quality of life, excellent schools, great arts, possibly a Super Bowl Champ and great summers. Those damn winters though! I recently started a new job and was offered to relocate back to CA but declined. The more recent picture is of me sitting on the bow of my boat. It's docked 5 minutes from my house so it's our "summer cabin". Spend the afternoons/evenings on it during the week after the work day is done then usually spend at least one night a weekend sleeping over. So you're "dabbling" in music. You know the only person that I've really talked to (and only every 3-5 years) is Ernie (sorry EJ) from HHS. He's still thumping his base. Oh there is one other name that I talk to about twice a year (Xmas & Bdays) from our past, Kevin Garcia. He's doing well living in Yucaipa. He and his wife are teachers (scary thought that he is molding young minds, eh?)and they have 2 kids. More later. L St. G. - Okay so as the joke goes, the mind is the first to go and I don't remember the second one. I got home and checked the Alumni Directory. I almost got the JJ info right. RR was in fact married to a Jorgenson but it was Jenny's sister. Sorry to all for the confusion. JJ's last contact info was Victorville. If you don't have a directory let me know and I'll forward you what's there. Sorry no email address. Are there really people that don't have one? Having now got myself hooked on this site I'll probably now be travelling with my directory so that I can on those sleepless nights due to jet lag I can do something constructive, dig up old relics from our pasts. Take care all.

So a few of us climbed into my VW (which WAS going to be mine when I turned sweet 16 and have a license) and off we went. None of us could find reverse so we pushed it backwards when necessary. It was a very windy day at Kell's granny's house. I remember the wind catching the paper plates of food and blowing them in our faces. We were all wearing potato salad. There was quite a colorful group of people helping Big Kell celebrate. One named Tim Fye and one named Art Vandergalen. If I would have only had my camera.

There's no sales tax in Oregon (and a few other states) and on a $300k motorhome, that's $21k savings. They buy them there, register them there and live elsewhere. Happens all the time. In fact, some of those folks actually live full time in their RV. I'd get claustrophobic in a real hurry.

If I'm wrong on this I apologize to both of them. And come to think of it I think they were listed under separate addresses in the Alumni Directory. So if they were maybe there not, now. Okay, you're probably saying, "That was a lot of help!" I'll try and remember to have a look at the directory tonight. Do you have a copy? DJ, esq. - A lawyer? I can see that. No, there are no lawyer jokes coming. What kind of law? Risa - I didn't think it necessary to look back and get your married name. I mean how many Risa's do you think are on this site? Are you still out there? Now we go way back. I've seen a number of older postings (I still haven't made it through all of them). After you and I have reacquainted ourselves it would be a good idea to hook our moms back up after all these years. Greetings to both her and Marla. Maybe Cougartown isn't ready for that.
