John, check this out you?ll love it ?We get up in the morning check out the surf?maybe we do maybe we don?t?do a little fishing you know and before you know it the day is gone? Deano glad you could stop by, next time plan on hanging out here for a couple of days, we?d love to have all you old C-towners come by and set and jaw awhile?Tell then, aloha?
Ahhh Dennis, you are DREAMING again.

I would love for you to be there so Janet and I could visit but if it's Hawaii, I better get Jeff and Mary's address. Thanks Dennis and just so you know, I'll be fishing this week with the lovely JB2 and her brothers, but at Twin Lakes in Bridgeport CA. Talk to you next week, and Aloha yourself....

Message: Hi everybody. I found a site listing haunted locations and spotted the following item. Hawthorne - Hawthorne High school - In Nyman Hall you sometimes see an old woman in black wandering around there. And also lights go off and on mysteriously.
In the girls bathroom by building seventeen you can hear the sounds of a girl weeping. In the same bathroom the toilets flush and the water turns on and off. The site also has many more locations that I?m sure you?ll recognize. If you want more, go to http://theshadowlands.net/places/california.htm Very good Halloween reading.
The woman in black would be Frankie Ayres looking for the band members and I'm glad someone finally got the toilets working and the water running in that bathroom. Thanks Jerry....

Message: I asked my son if he wanted to go to the Hawthorne Home Coming Game and meet some Cougars from the past. He said ?Why go to a game that Hawthorne is going to lose anyway and sit with a bunch of old people.? Talk about a negative Cougar sighting. I guess to really appreciate the old Alma Mata you have to be out of school.
That's about what I'd have said at his age. Thanks Pat...

Message: I did a treadmill on a patient today and discovered that his wife went to HHS, although she was younger than I was. But, she had three siblings who attended during the mid-60s, like me and all I got was that her maiden name was McDonald and her mother sewed the dresses for the song queens. So, look for her to write, or at least, log on. Her husband said she didn't know about C-town and he would tell her. He was sure she would check it out right away. A sort of round about cougar siting.

Marsha assured me it was nothing personal:o)...Thanks again 63ers for a super time, it was great to see everyone as you are one fun group.

To the reunion committee, Adrianne and the gang, what a good job you did, I was reluctant to spend that much money for the evening, glad I did, won't forget it for a long time. Special thanks to Dorothy Slawson.

It was this Feedback page that made it possible. Missed his "little" brother (& my absolute BEST childhood friend), "no show" MIKE REINHOLDSON, but I'll get even w/ him! (Mike...happy 54th on 10/26!!! I don't care if you did have to drive from Palmdale, you shoulda been there!)
Also...to JIM SLOEY: how 'bout I bounce a couple of breaking balls in the dirt, just in front of the plate? (REAL catchers don't wear a mask during warm-ups!) (I know that used to tick you off!)
To Howard (Paco) Duran: did you receive my Email re: your dad? In a round about way, he got me into, and put me through, college! I loved that man!
To Sid Semon: (does he ever read this stuff?): It was fun watching #109 during all those football games! Hope all is well w/ you & yours! Tell cousin Chuck @ El Camino that if he lets me pitch to that last hitter, THEN I'LL GIVE HIM THE BALL!
To JOHN BAKER: thanks for your obvious herculean effort in creating a fabulous site! It's a kick! - Gibby
Hey Jim, Thanks for the nice thoughts and glad you have reconnected with your old buds.
RE: Sloey, he says the mask fits but the chest protector's too small and the cup's kinda big.

Message: Just received the following from the Ol Coach. He too just returned from the Reunion in Laughlin, and here's what he had to say:
Hi John,
Just returned from the reunion--super time. Had about 175 cougars and wives there. Was so good to see how well they all looked and have done, in spite of us old coots. Coach Jones and I were the only faculty there. However I did talk to Wally Nyman just before we went in to the big room-- he was so sorry he couldn't make it-- his health problems would not let him make the trip, but I carried his fond memories to the Cougars.
Skip Kelly did a nice job with the thing. There were at least 8 of my football guys there-- I quizzed each one on their football assignment on our "24 power" play to see if they still remembered -- to a man everyone recalled exactly their assignments. That pleased me, because that's the best play in football. I'm sure everyone had a great time just seeing and talking to each other-- and reliving the "glory days".
They realized how lucky we all were, to be at the right place, at the right time, in the right city. A city that had so much to offer the kids-- the city park at El Segundo and Prairie and the softball leagues, Club Gunga Din, and the Hawthorne Youth Camp--and to be able to start their own high school, and to establish their colors, mascot, and the traditions, and school spirit. This sure showed in the feelings and stories of the school. Stories abounded. Friendships rekindled and everyone, I'm sure, went away with something to remember. A good time was had by all. Those "kids" were and are, winners.
All for now John, stay well, as ever, Ol Coach Chauncey
Glad all could reconnect as Hawthorne High has a fine reputation for keeping all it's Cougars together.
Thanks Coach for the on the spot report on the First Decade Reunion and for keeping Hawthornes spirit alive.

Message: I had a good time at 1ST Decade Reunion. I got home again too. I kept getting lost in the Casino, or getting on the wrong elevators to get somewhere, like my room? It was nice seeing Ole friends, and meetung new ones there. I guess 4 days is too short a time to learn my way around the place there. And I Graduated from HHS too. Some of the ones I thought should be, didn't show up there, because they Died in the past 5 Years. Laughlin had everything I wanted to see, except a Cemetery for me to walk though. Reasonable prices, and no I didn't Gamble in Nevada. I do think the others enjoyed the Time there too? Lets hope the Class of '63 enjoys Saturday Night, too. God Bless Us All,and to all a 'good night.' And I would not had known about any of these HHS get - togethers, if John Baker didn't show me Cougartown.com more then 40 Years I thought my School past was lost, now these past Two and a half years I have many new Friends here too. Thank You All.
Hi Joe, and thanks for the nice sentiments and glad you had a good time despite getting lost in the casino (I've done that too).

I'll email offlist to set the date. Hey who else out there has funny stories about the things written in our El Molino's? Who has had to explain to their teenager the references to the "vices" of that era? Or had to tell the story to a spouse of the never-ending love pledged on a whole page from a teenage romance? Or even older memories of bringing your El Molino home and having to hide it so your parents didn't read what everyone wrote! Regarding cheers, the only one I seem to remember is "Show me the way to go home.. I'm tired and I wanna go to bed... I hadda little drink about an houurrr ago....
Yes, who has some simple yet fun things written in their El Molinos besides "Good Luck in the furture years at El Camino" and "to a real cool head".

Isn't life grand that we are so fortunate to have this site to stay in contact with old friends and meet new ones along the way. I know Ron Reinholdson C/O 65 & I have taken the opportunity to go surfing quite a bit lately and as I read through these hallowed pages I see a lot of people taking time to plan events with each other as well as the events put forth through Cougartown. Which I dare say would not happen if it weren't for the contact we are able to share on Cougartown, coupled with the kinship we share for having grown up in a great place named Hawthorne, Calif. So Jessie join in, have fun and do accept the fact that when we get a little too much off subject line, John will bring us back to it and we all accept that.....Alright Ron, You an Me Ventura Point...Sunday morning 6-10ft surf.... COWABUNGA!!!!! (Uh, I guess I could have emailed that....smile) SURFS UP COUGS!!!!!!
Hey Walter, glad you're back and see you on the 7th.
