Message: John. Although I didn’t attend Hawthorne High School, I did invent public education. I would like to say, “You’re welcome” for the Internet, which I knocked off in my spare time. I am currently inventing a perpetual motion machine especially for you Californians. It seems you have completely abused my past invention of electricity. Can I be an honorary Cougar? If it comes to a vote, I’ll help count.
OK you can be an honorary Cougar if you stop sniveling and stand up straight...............and stop picking on GW too. I thought the Edison Co. discovered electricity......

And I thought Cassie, my 3 year old was big for her age....she's 45 lbs. and 43 inches tall! As big as most 4 and 5 year old's she comes across! Was you daughter big at birth? Cassie was 9lbs., 3oz. and 21 and a half inches long....e-mail me, man, let's compare daugther statistics, bud! LOL! = )
Louise, no problem. There are a lot of people here in CT who have helped me find old buddies. That's what it's all about, keepin' the old Coug community together, any way we all can!
Keith, e-mail me....I need you to go and check on my uncle, Fred, to see how he's doing after his surgery he had to have on,of all days, Christmas Eve! He's had a rough road of it, I hear. You'd like Fred....lots of good not-so-clean jokes and just plain all-around fun!
Oregazms, huh? Well, I can't think of anything wrong with being called an Orgazm! At least we get them! = )

I have been here for 8 years. I even worked at Magic Valley Regional for summer! Maybe we will see you at Costco sometime! Walter Holt: I will relay your message to my bro as soon as I can. He is computer-less and I am trying to convince him to go to the local library and get an e-mail account. I am SERIOUSLY impressed with the music knowledge. I love trivia like that. Got any contacts with the business still? I have some lyrics I would love to move. Personally, I have found that the strangest information (like supposed "true" music history) is attached to my one functioning brain cell and it just keeps going round and round. I think this CT is a great place to push that stuff out for confirmation or debunking as needs be! It is part of our history and we should be here for each other. John, thanks again for all you do, writing, editing referee-ing, keeping Judy's spirits up as she strives for the ultimate party and allowing a blizzard of good times to keep on happening. PEACE

First to Michelle Drapeau- my neighbor. I'm thinking about moving to Valencia (where I work) or Palmdale (Rancho Visa) maybe you can point me in the right areas in Palmdale. Wanted to go to Prom nite but didn't see too many of us on the list. I'll go if you go, maybe. We must get together. I'll send you an email with phone numbers. I can't believe Lynn moved to Acton. Great place! Robert forward me what you can on the directly, I'd really appreciate it. Sorry Bob, its just like you said the mind is the first to go. I'll try to remember- BOB. Anita thanks for the feedback and the info. As far as Barb. R. and the crush on you know who, it was when we were freshman. So I'm sure it didn't last long - 2 seconds maybe. Danny J. what are feeding that baby?? My daughter is going on 4 and weighs 30 lbs. (she's a little shrimp) thank God she didn't take after me!! J.B. I said it before, but I'm saying it again, Thanks... This time my check is truly in mail. Such a small price to pay for the fun and enjoyment I get from this. Don't know what I would do without my morning fix of "Cougartown" Love ya all! :]
Hey Louise, Thanks, and to all 70's and 80's people......Please sign up for the prom. Just because Judy's always talkin' Doo Wop, doesn't mean there's actually going to be any played. I was thinking more along the line of Saturday Night Fever. We could get Dan Johnson to be "Tony Manero" and Susan Walling to be "Stephanie". We'll get some Donna Summer and Gloria G. music going with the Bee Gees (actually they started in the 60's) and maybe the Hues Corporation.
Really folks, we're going to have ALL the music there, so 70's and 80's people, please get your deposits in so others will see your name and sign up too. I know for sure the Bierman girls will be there, and Susan Walling too. Don't be shy Cougs, get your names on the list.

Message: Although my motor home will have Wisconsin plates (that's kind of North), I will definitely have to remember to drive at least 25 miles under the speed limit with my left turn signal on if I ever drive through Arizona! Actually, up her in Wisconsin, we get the old folks who winter in Florida with their Cadillacs (the ones that are the size of small nations) and drive home to the Badger State during the Holidays. At rush hour, they putt-putt along in the fast lane on the Interstate as sloooooow as they possibly can, alternating between the left and right turn signal being left on for extended periods of time. Then, just when you think you've got their pattern figured out, they speed up a little and pull right in front of you in the middle lane (with their right blinker on, of course) and apply their brakes to drop back to the slower speed. I guess that maybe these "driving fools" are put there to test us ......

Message: Michael Aceves....For your information Hanky Panky was originally written by Jeff Barry & Ellie Greenwich Moonlighting as The Raindrops. Then was Cut By Tommy James & The (Original ) Shondells On Snap records Located In Tommy's Home Town of Niles Michigan in 1963 and Released Regionally. It was picked up by accident by a Pittsburgh Dj and Bootlegged selling 80,000 copies and shooting to the 1# on the Charts in Pittsburgh. It was Recut in May of 1966 and released through Roulette Records Nationally hitting #1. You may have a copy of a 45 Dating 1968 but it was not recorded or on the charts during that period. It Did make a resergence on the FM stations in 1970 during the split musically between the AM Chart And the emergence Of the FM Stations. I do admit to a typo error of including it in the 70's instead of the 60's if you are referring to my posting and to me as Mr Thinks you still got it. I still remember quite a bit of my music past as I spent 12 years as a PR person for RCA Records Meeting, Promoting, Keeping up with the charts and scheduling events for a lot of the groups of our day. Yes I know what a 45 is, I was Listening to those when you were still cuttin teeth unless you're thinking of weapons and I know what those are too. So before you pop off at the keyboard, do a little further research so you know what your writing about. I do, and say a lot on here to just have fun, so lets keep it that way.
WHOA!!! I think Walter do know what he's sayin' bout music.
It's kinda like when Robin told someone way back on the feedback pages, "Royal Lord and Robin Hood were Cougars long before you could stand up to go potty" or something like that. There's something about seniority that overpowers all else. Anyway, I haven't even looked this one up but will say Walter wins for some reason.

Glad I caught the show because they come from Torrance. What a shock to me when all these many years I thought they lived in Hawthorne. Plus for anyone interested they say that Jeff Beck left the Yardbirds and met Rod Stewart and they started the Jeff Beck group, makes me wonder, because I thought I saw Rod Stewart and small faces with Jeff Beck. The show had some misinformation. Also there is an add for a CD of female groups. Wow did that music bring back memories. Most of the older female groups were early 60's I must have had all the 45's. I was in 7th and 8th grade. We would have dances and that was the music played, also at those stupid parties you went to in those days. Well back to cleaning the pad.
