Message: Well folks I am officially "OLD". My daughter had a baby boy "Chance Maka i'li Hideichi Ito" on Saturday at 1:45pm. 8 lbs. 21" long and alot of hair. Close to 150 pictures taken before he was a couple hours old. I put him on the cover of the event program for my show this weekend. I will include a pic in my next email. I know it's hard to believe but I am a Granpa. Remember this name cause he is either going to be a pro ballplayer or a judge. Aloha
With a name like that you better teach him to fight.

Congratulations Keith and welcome back.....

Message: A way kewl cruise night John..great turnout Cougs!...Cars: Sloans 56' usually gets my top vote, but Waynes rig can be used as a blender too so a tough choice :o)..Great to see Oregon ,Idaho, Montana as well as the far reaches of CA. represented. I would have talked to you more JB, but I couldn't find you. Did you buy an ab roller or what?..I'm on the new Lizzys Flan and Fitz's chocolate diet myself...cholesterol is up 50 pts already and I'm expecting zits any day now..life is good...Marsha had a great time as well at the Dan Dye kissing booth...she's still telling people she doesn't even know...All in all it was an A+ event...later Cougs.....
I know what you mean about that Dan Dye guy. I thought he just had back surgery..... he was giving away hugs like a 12 stepper at an alanon meeting and I'm not sayin' Waynes Chevy attracts attention, but I overheard a tall black dude in a pink cape with a purple feather in his hat tell Wayne to gather up his stable in the "Purple Passion Mobile" and get the H-E double hockey sticks OUT of Hawthorne.
GREAT CRUISE NIGHT COUGS!!! Let's do it again, real soon.

Message: What a great Cruise night! I had a blast. It was neat to see the faces behind so many amusing feedbacks that I have read over the years. John, I don't know how many times we can all thank you for everything that you have done without sounding redundant. Dan J, wish you could've been there, I would have liked to have hooked up with an old buddy, even though we don't remember being buddies :) I hope we can have one more cruise night before Fosters gets torn down, but if not, what are some of the places where we might have another CN? Any idea's? Everyone, have a great week!
Thanks for being there, Jill....

GREAT CRUISE NIGHT...GREAT TURN OUT. CLASSIC TUNES, CLASSIC CARS, AND OF COURSE, CLASSIC CHASSIS ON CLASSIC LADIES AND CLASSIC COUGS FROM ALL CLASSES. THANKS AGAIN!
(ps...my home computer has breathed it's last..I canceled my DSL and have no current e-mail address...just so you can update my status..when I get a new one..I'll let you know).
Hey John, Great to see you and Noreen there on Saturday night. YES!! Cruise Night was a great success. Lots of Cougs from all over; Bakersfield, Palmdale, Chatsworth, Simi Valley, and Orange County, but we also had John and Cheryl Nicocia from Keno, Or, Doris Donaldson all the way from Twin Falls ID, and from Missoula Montana was the Class of 58's Geneva Clements Berryman.
Also, THE Coach, Hal Chauncey and his lovely wife Cathy surprised us by popping in....thanks for being there.
Great cars too as Rich Sloan HHS60 brought his 56 Chevy Convertible and Bob Fitz HHS60 brought a really COOL lookin' 56 Ford. Also, Wayne Dickey HHS69 finally brought out his gorgeous low rider 65 Chevy and Don "Crow" Burns brought his classic 64 Tbird. My favorite was the 49 Cadillac convertible that was absolutely pristine. Lots of fun people and lots of fun cars. This Cruise Night ranks right up there as one of the most memorable. Thanks to you all for being there and we'll try to work another one in at Fosters before they close the doors for keeps.
Thanks too, to Howard Paco Duran for taking lots of pictures. Please go to PACO'S PICS if you'd like to see some fun Cougars at a fun Cruise Night. Also, thanks to Sharon Bierman Branigan HHS76 for coming out and manning (or is that womanning) the Tshirt concession (We are now out of size Small Tshirts)

Time for an update. I'll be leaving my current job as of today - so any of you wanting to contact me by e-mail, note my current correct e-mail as listed above. I start a new job on the 18th - wish me luck! I'm really looking forward to it, except for the fact that I'll have to commute down the 405 to Newport Beach, 25 miles each way. Oh, well - at least I HAVE a job to go to! I'm going to try to make it to the Cruise Night on Saturday - if I can persuade my husband (Brad Wettach - if anyone remembers him) or my good buddy, Karen Snyder, into going along with me. Hey, will any of the Biermans or Valencias be present? How about Dewey Storie or Don McFarland? Come on you guys this is the last time to meet at Fosters, right? Let's get out there and party! Or have you all grown too old for that?
Thanks Ingrid for the info and yes, this will probably be our last Cruise Night at Fosters, so please, let's all try to make it.

Message: Dan, I must have been ditching school that day that the class of 77 voted Rush as most popular band, I do remember Supertramp being the band that everyone went ga-ga over. I always liked Bruce and wish I could go to his concert and your right Dan, his music does reflect Hawthorne in a lot of ways. Was this poll taken through the school paper? If it was, I was on Cougar staff and don't remember, but then I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday.

Message: Hey Cougs, I got my tix to "The Boss" for 8/17 and it started me thinking about his level of popularity in Haytown back in the day. As some of you may recall, Rush was voted the No. 1 band of the Class of '77 so you can get a sense of where this class' collective head was. The hard rock/metal stuff was at the top of the list. I don't remember Springsteen being popular at all -- heartland rocker and all. Yet his "themes" were pretty Hawthorne -- working class, cars, girls -- I guess the only difference is that we weren't nearly as desperate to leave SoCal as his characters were to leave New Jersey (insert Joe Mailander socio-political commentary here). Anyway, I acquired a taste for The Boss in college and have never ceased to be amazed at the insane rock n roll energy this guy produces -- even now. Any takes here on CT?

It's cool, not like Aceves is a COMMON name or something! As for the HOT weather up here.....hey, Greece and Arizona are supposed to be HOT and in the 100's in the summer, NOT Western Oregon! We have been having an unusually HOT summer up here. When I come in to read feedback and see Hawthorne temps 20 to 30 degress COOLER than ours, I tell ya, I get so JEALOUS of you guys down there right now! And at least you have an ocean breeze, those of you who are still close to the coast. The coast is 100 miles or so to the West of the Portland Metro area! Nice to be back in here, though. Been absent a long time due to back to work for the first time in 5 years after being a stay-at-home mom. In the middle of a nightmare of a house buying deal that I hope to God is over with soon so I can sleep at night, eat without acid reflux and grow my nails back that I have bitten to the quick! I LOVE my FHA loan, just hate the approval process of my home, is all! They've got so much info. on my hubby and I now, I was surprised we were not asked for underwear samples and vials of blood next! For those who are going through the same or have in the past, I sympathize with you 100%! Love you, Cougs!

Message: You think it's hot there. Try Greece! It was another memory trip to see the talk about car air-conditioners. We got a fully equipped '59 Ford Galaxy in 1960 and immediately started off for a trip to New York. The air conditioning was nice but the unit used to ice up. We would nearly faint when we stepped out into the heat in Texas. The funny story with the car occured when I took my girlfriend, Phyliss Adams, to the drive-in. We were in the front seat and not sitting up. Suddenly the seat started moving up and down and back and forth at the same time. We could smell smoke, so I left the drive-in. I immediately drove to a gas station and yelled out the window that my car was on fire. Well, they weren't too happy to hear that at the gas station. The fire department came and it turns out all the electrical stuff had shorted out and that's what caused the seat to move around! Be good cougars! Jim Peppers
