Also, thanks to the ladies for making the Prom a reality. Great job! Seems like we could create a club for those wanting out of Biology. Did anyone else have to read Darwin's Theory of Evolution in order to get the transfer?
Again best wishes for the birthday boy.
It would be easier to do Biology than read that one. Thanks Vickie.....

I'm looking forward to the next reunion and also staying in touch with all other Cougs. Sharon Willis, A Big Congratulations, hope all is well. What a change from our days in Boulder and Avalon. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a time when Hawthorne was the ideal place and the people were, and continue to be, the most supportive and committed to a long lasting friendship. I have known people from every grad class from the 60's through the early 90's and the spirit continues to live on. Once a COUGAR always a COUGAR. There is always someone close by who is from HHS. See you soon, Wade
Hey Wade, Very well put; I feel the same, as lots of Cougars AND Olympians were my friends growing up, and we continue our friendship to this day. Hawthorne was just a friendly place to grow up "in".

Having come from a family of Cougars (the whole Dominguez and Perkins clan (Aunts/Uncles/Cousins) but 4 so far graduated from HHS) I knew so many people. It was nice to party with my parent's friends and the parent's of my friends. My whole table stayed till the lights went on. Mike (91 grad) and I had the greatest time, better than my own prom. You all know how to party. I'm sorry I missed Mr. Plotkin. :( Thanks again to everyone involved and who attended for making Prom 2001 the best it could be...especially my whole table.
Thank you Terri, I'm glad you liked it, and coming from such a young HHSer, I have thought you might've wanted a Mosh Pit at the next one. JUST KIDDING!!! The only difference between the 90's Cougs and the 50's-60's Cougs was we needed about 3 days rest afterwards. Thanks again Terri......

Hey Mr. Kyllonen - Have you noticed that everyone is taking credit for wanting OUT of Biology? The V-Girl who went to your table was my little sister Gloria. But it is quite possible that Vickie was the one you remember. Afterall, Gloria's visit was probably just after her mistaken identity encounter with Ms. Dicus. Poor Mr. Andrade it seems we all wanted out. I'll never forget accidently poking myself with a needle while I was injecting hormones into baby boy chickens for my experiment. Well, that's a whole other story. :0)
Actually not this morning although I WAS yelling, "Let the Celebration Begin" last night.

I hope at that time there will be something going on from Cougartown that I can participate in. Sure would love to see you all ...bye for now LIZ. ( the EASTSIDE troublemaker ) ha,ha

He made a reservation to Prom Night and was looking forward to meeting old friends, but an organ rejection problem occured which has forced him to have additional medication in an attempt to get the rejection under control. Last night Frank wrote, "Thank you for taking the time to say hello. I truly appreciate this. Once I am able to get back up I'll drop you a note... just now I am having some nasty moments with these medications... But, I can't help but know that compared to a great many others ... my life's a piece of cake ..."
Frank can be reached at: fromano@lvcm.com
Thanks Bob, Frank's a perfect example of the guy that's living every day to its fullest. Frank has the heart of a mid 20's computer programmer beating inside him and has handled this body trauma without so much as a whimper. He often has rejection problems and handles the situation as routinely as you would go for a check up. "A piece of cake?".... I don't think so. Get Well Frank, as we miss your banter on the Feedback Page.

Thanks Jill, I think I'm 57 or 58; somewhere in there, but that's just how long I've been on the planet. That's not a good indicator of age at all. I think of Harry Plotkin and the Ol Coach when I think of age-LESSNESS.
It doesn't matter what's going on, Harry wants to be there doing it, and Coach Chauncey is trying to rehab his spine so he can get back on the court and separate some guy half his age (number) from his lunch money (sorry coach, didn't mean to blow your cover). So when you get to certain plateau, and someone says, "well Jill, you're 50 now, it's time to start slowing down" don't listen to that hogwash. It's only a number.
