Pat and I have been missing each other ever since we got out of high school. We worked for the same company for sixteen years. During our recent talks we found that many times back then we were within feet of each other and never knew it. Thank you John for providing this conduit that enabled Pat and I to make contact again after all these years.
Note: Hey Ed, Thank you for being here, and good luck to you and Pat in what will be the rest of your lives together.

Sorry I haven?t replied to your e-mails. I had every intention to answer you and will as soon as I get some things taken care of. With Pat in Ca. and me in Missouri, well that just won?t workout, so I?m in the process of getting my ducks in a row to leave the country and return to Ca. I?m currently doing my job search and hope to get back into Hughes Aircraft in some capacity working in Information Systems. Once that?s squared away, Ca here I come. I will be back in Ca. to visit with Pat for a week sometime in May. I really hope to be able to stay this time. I will keep you informed about Pat and I and all that?s going on.
Your Old Bud, Ed Sharp

Maria & I were at the Oyster bar last night at the Sunset Station. The most wonderful sea food in town. Also, with out a doubt the best valet service in Las Vegas. Sometime Monday I should have some room rates to send to John also. He has already posted some information about Sunset Station. Sam's Town, Boulder Station and the Reserve are all on US 95 aka Boulder Highway. All are just a few minute from Sunset Station. Again, Patty... lunch was fun, Thanks.

Las Vegas reunion - I don't have the list of attendees with me, as I'm in Las Vegas right now, so approximately 40-45 people have signed up, however I am continuing to receive confirmations. John will be posting the details on this site so that we can collect the money for the dinner at Sunset Station. We have to have a solid confirmed headcount by April 13th. So, the checks have to be sent NOW :). Frank has arranged for an excellent buffet dinner, a DJ and it sounds like a great time. Gloria and I went to Sunset Station last night and it was a lot easier access than the Strip hotels. It's about 10 min from the Strip. As to V-girls attending, so far Cynthia, Gloria and I are the representatives, have not heard from Ricki. Although the requests are usually about whether Ricki is attending. Being thick skinned, this doesn't bother me :). I can hardly wait to meet all of you. And, we only arranged the Sat event at Sunset so that the weekend is yours to plan with your family, friends, and Cougars as you wish. We're looking to make this a comfortable, entertaining and fun weekend.

It sounds like you guys have done a great job in getting this all together. The food sounds scrumptuous. We've been to the Sunset Station before and it's a nice place and you're right there is alot of parking. The only questions I have are, what time will it all start? Is anything planned for beforehand? What are the room rates at the Sunset Station? And how many V girls are going to be there? Can hardly wait to meet you all! THANK YOU for getting this all together for all of us and I hope there's a great turnout. For those of you who are still debating whether to go or not, sign up and let's all get together for a fun weekend. HHS is the BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!!

Thinking more about Zeke, I'm going to get hold of him and tell him to get with the program here (web page). You guys may need to back me up, will explain later. Speaking of Appletons, As a sideline I own a hot rod parts company, Real Appletons are the hardest product (that and real Woodies) to find out there. The other two items you might rememember that we are now manufacturing are Vibrasonics and the ARC 45 rpm record players (under the dash). If we had only known. Take care.

Message: Hi John,
Larry and I remember PV very well, but there must of been another spot up there that we called 32 Cities. This spot looked over towards San Pedro, it even had bats flying around up there. Larry and his old friends have some stories about that place, which Im sure alot of you out there have also. I do have to tell one on Larry, sometimes on a friday night when they did not have dates, they would take their old 50's cars with the spot light on the side, they would go up there and flash that spot light on those cars. Needless to say some were not too happy. That was a time of such good clean nonsense, nobody got hurt, just a little fun.
Note: Now that's a great story, and one not unlike the one I'm going to tell. Gordon Bell, Bob Reagan, me and maybe a couple of others (Larry might have been one of them)used to "Cruise the Blvd" in Gordon's brother Tom's, 47 Caddy (pictured). Tom had a great Studebaker Golden Hawk and Gordon didn't have a car at the time, so we'd use Tom's Cad once in a while. Tom, you DID know that right?? Anyway it had these super bright Appletons on it and we'd go up to Fairfax, which was THE place to park in the Baldwin Hills area and we'd wrap those Appletons with Red Cellophane. Now when we'd turn them on and shine them in cars, "the romantics" would think it was Da Fuzz. It would sure get their minds on something else Immediately.

Message: Remember going to "park" up on Palos Verdes Drive - West. There is this turn-out where you can park your car and look out back toward home and see the coastline way up past Malibu. My brother-in-law, the first time he came with my sister to visit from back East said, "Hey, where do go to paaark around here anyway?". Well, everyone I know knew this spot. The turn-out is still there, same great view of Redondo Harbor, El segundo, you can see Downtown LA and the mountains. Great place to kiss.
Note: What's this "Anonymous stuff". Is there someone out there that would remember that place with you? Maybe there's MORE than one person that would remember that place with you, Hmmm. :o) Yes, I remember it WELL.

Message: Hi John,
I've been reading the postings for awhile now, and have really enjoyed them. About five weeks ago I noticed on the Alumni List that an Ed Sharp had added his name. He sat behind me in Mr. Featherson's class, and I'd never forgotten him. I contacted him, he lives in Missouri right now, and well, after logging in countless email messages and progressing to phone calls, he came out and visited me last week. One special moment was on the second night, he gave me his class ring and said that I should have had that thirty years ago. We've been passing each other through the years, but because of this wonderful HHS website, we're planning on spending the next twenty or thirty years together. We both realized that the moment we saw each other at the airport. So thank you John for playing cupid.
Note: Patricia, What an absolutely wonderful story. I am proud to play Cupid for you. We ALL want to be invited to the ***BIG DAY*** you know. :o) Thanks a million for making my day here. I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later, but this is a FIRST for Cougartown. I feel like passing out Cigars.
