Message: If I am remembering correctly, El Molino meant The Mill That Grinds Out Time. As to a Mr. Cervantes, don't remember him and couldn't find any teacher of that name in the 53 or 54 yearbooks. How about the first name of the 1953 yearbook - Ephebian - I never did know what that meant. Also why did they change the name of the yearbook after one year?
Hi Marilyn, There was no Mr. Cervantes at HHS. That was all "tongue in cheek" by Sharon to confuse us. That's what the 70's people were put on earth to do.
Now, El Molino means The Mill, period. If it was called "El Molino Que Muele Fuera De Tiempo" (pardon my Spanish II translation), then it would mean "The Mill That Grinds Out Time".

I think an Ephebe is a young person entering ~~manhood~~ personhood.

Message: The small Cougar world has brought me in contact with another one of our own. Robert Guy, '58, was a witness to the boat collision mentioned below. He has a vacation home here on the River, and this happened right in front of it. As for me, this is a complex situation and probably the worst I've seen in 27 years in this business.
Ask Bobby if he owned a black 59 Chevy with the words "Sir Guy" painted on the side. That'll blow him away.

There were some 20 kids yearly who were on Yearbook Staff and the point of this all is to dredge up some new memories! Surely they're out there and will chime in shortly! (Actually I asked the question because my daughter asked me!) And hello right back to Jim Cicalese! Glad to see you here on CT! We'll catch up on private email!
So you don't know either? OK, How about we get our CCS (Crack Cougartown Sleuth) on the case. Chris Prewitt, can you find the answer?

Message: El Molino, The Windmill, is a reference to the first Literature teacher hired at HHS, Mr. Cervantes. He was already 80 years old when he was hired and it became HHS tradition that all new Lit teachers hired be yanked out of retirement. They yammered on and on and the students came to nickname them "windmills" as a code word for "hot air." I learned this from Mrs. Mark, whom I loved, when she was about 130 years old.
OK, I asked for an answer, but I want the REAL answer. WHERE'S YOUR SISTER!!

Well, since I didn't ask the question, I think it's up to Sue to give the answer. Cmon Sue, quit dangling.....

John, best to just trash the junkmail. Sometimes opening it will generate an automated response to spammers who will then sell your "confirmed" email adress to other spammers. Often times going to those "remove me" websites accomplish the same thing. The best thing to do is trash (without opening) any email you didn't ask for; if the spammer if fishing for "verified" email addresses, they won't get one from you.
I NEVER do the "Remove me" thing anymore, but sometimes when it says it's from Kelly or Janet, and the subject is Hi, I have to open it to see if it's legit. I now look at the source of the email and if it has a

"<--"

tag, I trash it. So if anyone wants to get through, make sure you don't use this tag.

Look for my brother Eric in Rosamond at the Krogers/Hughes. **Regarding the TURTLES , Flo & Eddy played with Frank Zappa (Aka Rubin & the Jets as in Elton's Benny & the Jets)in Berdoo before they were Turtles. The whole point of their music was to demonstrate just how superficial and ridiculous POP MUSIC really was at the time. The songs they wrote were produced for the delightful of the record company and for the all powerful BUCKS. I think that is why the word "COUNTER-CULTURE" was coined. The Turtles were the PeeWee Herman of the day.

I thank God and Jesus I live here and have the benefits of the collective human experience. I just thought you all would like to know one of our "COUGS" is a legend! Back in my senior year I met Mark Blackwell in Mr. Fix' Drama class. Mark came in several weeks late because he had just wrapped up a successful season of European MotoCross ! He rode for Husqvarna at 17!!! In 1999 he was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame, the first American to win the 500cc class MOTO! By the way Mark Blackwell is now the General Manager of Victory Motorcycles a division of Polaris Industries Corp. I raise my glass and say three cheers to Mark Blackwell. God Bless him!
Thanks Neil for letting us all know of Marks accomplishments. It's always fun to see what paths our Cougar brothers and sisters have taken in life.

A fine of up to $11,000 per E-mail would slow down the junk e-mail. A grass roots organization like CT writing to their congressmen could be a major start. Yes, it is difficult to track many sources of email but when they are caught and they are sending out 10,000 pieces of e-mail $110 million fine might wake them up. For spammers from outside of the US blocking their ISPs entire IP address range into the US should slow them down.
Yeah but do we really want Internet regulation?
