Does anyone know the whereabouts of Linda Staehr or Jeannette McClain (Class of '66)?

This from Chuck Kelley Class of 85
John-
Emmit Rhodes of the sixties rock group "The Merry Go Round" went to HHS. There's a blip on him here...
http://www.audities.com/audities/mag/reviews/i11/rhodes.htm
And also Jeff and Steve McDonald of Redd Kross went to HHS in the 80's. Here's a website dedicated to them..
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~saragon/reddkross/reddkross.html
Also, did you know that the pornstar known as "Shane" went to HHS? I think she graduated in 1987. I don't think you would want to list her website address.
Lastly, there is a Brian Wilson fanzine called The Dumb Angel Gazette. The first two issues focus alot on the early 60's beach/car culture. I got my copies of these mags from Go Boy Records in Redondo Beach.

I haven't been able to locate my old El Molino's....(and it may be a while before I can)...how about sending us all a photo of you over this Home Page?
The photo's you've been able to send us over this home page have been great...it's really been fun reading through this each day. Thanks again!
Penny

Penny,
There are pictures of me on the website. Have you been to the 62 reunion page yet? I'm here and here with my arm around Linda Jones Reynolds and below Avery. I'm also on one of the "Car Talk" Pages.
Or maybe you're talking about a High School picture. I know people change and I am definitely "wider" than in High School, so maybe you'll have a better shot at recognizing me that way.

Message=Hi John,
What a great surprise this was, finding all this great informaiton on our ol' alma mater! Thanks for your efforts--this is really special "stuff"!...it's a neat place to go...like you say, to a more "innocent & gentler time..." I'll spread the word as much as I can. I found out about this home page through Marsha Soares (I think Class of '63) and she also found me on the Web. Neat--after 30-something years!!! Now Marsha, and her sister Cody (Cody Soares, from our Class of '62) and I are all able to "chat" and catch up on old times. For your "Tributes" page....did you hear anything about Johnny McFall (Class of '62)? Marsha had heard Johnny had passed away (last year?) from Cancer.... Really sad news for a lot of us who knew Johnny...even those of us who knew him a short time. I'm living in Torrance and working at TRW, in Redondo Beach....so haven't moved very far...but have lost touch with a lot of my old friends from HHS. That's another reason this is so special--how "neat" of you to have come up with this idea! MY favorite teacher was Mr. Clayton Williams, my art teacher for 4 years....has anyone heard anything about him lately? Pat Freeman (Pat Wingo) and Sheila Griffin (Sheila Smith) are both buddies of mine from our Class of '62--and we're all looking forward to this June's reunion. Sheila has two little children (girl & boy--and I'm Godmother of little "John") and lives in Mississippi with her family....and Pat is soon to move back to Orange County--she has two children also (but both children now are "grown-ups" now). Thanks again, John! I've loved reading and continuing to read as much as I can fit in during the day, while at work...and will look forward to reading more....maybe I'll even throw in a memory or two, one of these days!

Thank you so much for taking the time to give web browser who have lost touch with those memories.

Message=I attended Leuzinger High from 1963 - 1966; (maiden name Sechrist) however, I grew-up in Hawthorne along with my three sisters, one of which graduated from Hawthorne High. Her name is now Dianna Ryan and her maiden name is Sechrist. I remember how wonderful it was during the summer in the month of July. Not only was it my birthday month, but it was the month for the Hawthorne summer parade and fair. And does anyone remember the Oscar Meyer Weeniemobile and little Oscar? One time it drove down my street (W 135th) and how excited all the neighbor kids were. Now about Leuziner High School. We were the Olympians, but didn't win very many games....in fact, I remember our high school being called by the name of "Losezinger" by our rivall Hawthorne High students. I remember well the A&W Rootbeer Stand and the big glass mugs filled with rootbeer and ice cream.

I didn't graduate from HHS but I did from LHS in 1963. Many of us did attend Hawthorne Intermediate and then were divided into separate high schools. I went to Haw Interm in 1957 & 58, my 7th grade teacher was Mrs. Calhoun, and 8th grade was Mrs. Eahart. I still have my 7th grade school book and it includes a picture of Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. My kids can't believe I actually went to school with him. There is so many memories of my childhood growing up in Hawthorne. It really was a special town. Does anyone remember Bud's Drugstore and the pink Plaza Show where you could get in for a quarter. I have a strong tie to Hawthorne. My mother grew up there and she still lives there, my grandfather, who just passed away this past Aug. at the age of 96, lived there for 75 years. I ran across old mm8 film of the Hawthorne parade in 1970, it sure brought back memories..... If any of you remember the Sechrist family, please write me via email at vboydd@rccd.cc.ca.u! s. We lived on W. 135th st. I had 3 sisters, Violet, Daisy, and Punky (Diana). Daisy and Diana attended HHS and Violet and myself attended Leuzinger. Our father was the only deaf person that lived in Hawthorne. Hope I hear from some old friends.

It would be nice to hear from other faculty too, if that's possible. No e-mail yet but thank goodness for my computer neighbors. Take care.
