Message: Keith I think you're right about it being Ed Paul. He had a panel van and used to give us rides to school. His garage was converted to his bedroom and everyone used to hang out there and uhhhhh read books, fill out college applications, and discuss in length Freud's use of cocaine as therapy, and as Pink Floyd played on the stereo we wondered aloud about his disdain for most music... But I thought I read in the paper that the crime involved cocaine (do you see the Freud connection?) and Columbians and it was a drug dealer that he killed. And didn't it happen around 1981? (Sloey the last couple of emails aren't getting through to you so hang tight and retribution will be your's!)

Message: Aloha Big John would be honored to accept the award. I have been so busy getting this show together that I have been real boring. But I do have planned a seven week vacation with my kids. I want to take them to Africa on a photo safari. Has anyone out there done that and was it real fun. I just think that it would be neat. Anyway I think the killer of Hawthorne was my friend Ed Paul (we weren't that close) who killed his girlfriends dad and cut him up and buried him all over the place. I heard it was the first (at that time) of a person being accused of murder without a body. I think they found a finger. If any Cougars are in Hawaii over the Memorial Day weekend be sure to get ahold of me. I will get you weekend passes to my show. I'm checkin in almost everyday but as I said I have been pretty boring lately. I did have a dream that I was walking down the strand one day when all of a sudden I got ran over by someone on a bike. When I looked up it was Jimbo and he looked back at me and smiled and then proceeded to run over me again and again and as I laid there with tire tracks all over my body he stood over me and handed me his card and told me to call him he would represent me. So other than that wait till after my show and I will write more. Till then I'm really proud of this website and everytime I see a name I recognize I immediately remember what they look like and start remembering the good old days. Mahalo Nui Loa Keith
All right Keith. Good to hear from you boy, and we'll wait until after your show for another great story. And "my jello knew louie" to you too.

Message: Regarding Dean's post about infamous people from Hawthorne, I do remember a rumor going around about some kid who went to Hawthorne, but whose name I don't recall who allegedly killed his dad and buried him in the backyard. This kid had long hair (I know who did'nt in the 70's) and drove kind of like a hearst-like truck. I like Sloey's new bike, it has everything you could possibly need or want, however, I did not see where the first aid kit should go. It should also have a 911 push button for those close encounters with sand. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
...."and drove kind of like a hearst-like truck" Jill, would that be a newspaper truck?

Message: Enza, You're much too charitable in your observations. Some of us had time for the books until 5 and then lived the good life in the night (well not like Greasby and his gang who never saw the inside of the Hawthorne Library- study/social hall). Nostalgia is fun, but carpe diem or something like that. It ain't over until it's over and there's a long way to go before that happens!
OK, enough cliches. Let's talk about something fresher than Sloey's sore ass, which is yesterday's news. How about a Friday quiz to get things rolling? Who was the most Infamous person in Hawthorne History? Do we have any psychos, felons, immortal losers like Marjorie Knoller the SF dog mauler lady?
Be creative!
I would have to say it's Keith D Jones. He's done darn near everything from playing the bass to being stuck on the chairlift at China Peak with Kathy Lynch to getting his head stuck in a bike rack to lifting a giant screen to the top of a car by himself to Mr Olympia to running on the bottom of the ocean with boulders. Keith, where have you been?? We miss your stories, man.

Message: Lets get to the rat killin'. I know that when a lawyer talks it costs the listener $100. So I can feel the EMT's pain about having to listen to and showing empathy to a person in Sloey's situation. That house call was pretty costly. I really enjoyed Robin's version of the "Husker Mobile". Though I must admit that everything in Nebraska is RED, I think Jim that you were confusing the John Deere's color of green to the meat wagons RED that were called to apply medical assistance to the fallen Husker supporter and his bike. God knows there are only two things that are green, John Deeres and Money. Now from a sentimental side. Even Sooners can be forgiving to fallin' comrades in battle. Remember we're also Cougars and 20-10 is old news. Just be ready for this year. When I'm up there in MB/HB I'll stop by and pull up an ear of corn and we'll talk about the oil well in my back yard over some of cuzzin' Barry's moonshine. Take Care Jim.

Ok, I want to say this web site has me getting to know an old friend, Dean Morris. We had a couple of dates back in our Senior year, but did not make a connection. Through our recent emails, I have gotten to know him, and I think I let one of the "good guys" slip through my fingers. (I'm always a day late and a dollar short!) So, thanks JB1, for all your efforts on this great site. It's never too late to re-connect with old friends or acquaintances. HHS had some great people that really excelled in both athletics and academics, and Dean is one of them! My hat goes off to all the girls and guys that "stuck" to the books, and saw the big picture, and went the distance with their education. I really admire that, because at 17 yrs. old, I was NOT thinking "education", I was thinking of having FUN! It takes a LOT of discipline and sacrifice to obtain a degree. And some people went beyond 4 yrs. of college to get even more education. I admire and respect you all for persevering to obtain your ultimate goal!!
Oh, one more thing. I thought I felt the ground shake right around the time Sloey kissed the concrete in Hermosa. I remember roller skating on the very same stretch of bike path. The sand scattered on the path made it real hard to stay upright. But, I think that back in the 80's I "bounced" better. I wouldn't dare try that today, (I'm sure I would break in a million pieces!!) I admire you John, for still having the energy and desire. Like the Nike ad says, "JUST DO IT"! We should all take that advice!!
Thanks Enza, but Sloey didn't bounce. I was more like..........well, did you ever accidentally drop a watermelon?
Wish I had furthered my education too. Things would've been lots easier.

Message: Well I was just taken to Little Company of Mary hospital in Torrance, see I told you I was hurt. They think I have fractured 4 ribs on the right side and 4 more on the left. I couldn't breathe about 20 minutes ago so we called 911. They quickly ruled out a heart attack [lawyers don't have one, they said] and upon a review of activities they were certain it was a delayed reaction to the bicycle accident, that I must have been in shock. Upon further questioning the medic asked what I was doing when it began to hurt. I said I was reading Cougartown and saw the feedback by my dear friend Robin Hood [that was a 20 minute conversation] when I suddenly had these pains from laughing so hard and fell out of my chair landing on the floor on the right side, as I struggled to get up the first thing I saw was the "new Bike" and again i was so weak from laughter I again hit the floor this time on the left side. Keep it warm Robin, it may be a few weeks.

I can't say that I have been proud to be a Coug as of late, so I decided to direct this anger into actions to keep my buddy on the strand. This was a challenging project but nothing is too good for Jim. As you can see safety and convenience were the themes, and our test run this morning could not have been more sucessful. A couple of changes for the phase 2 model will be a red (Husker)seat and a larger cooler to accomodate John and Dans breakfast. Enjoy my good buddy...:o)
