Hi Madeleine, It was on this page a couple of days ago, but it's gone now. It was a 7th grade class from 1957, so they would've been HHS class of 62. Sorry you missed it.

Message: I must confess I had never heard of PINK'S until Cougartown Feedback. Tonight I was watching the Travel Channel featuring Hot Dog Heavens. They saved California until last, and sure enough, the only one they showed was..you guessed it! History and all. Even Bruce Willis proposed to Demi Moore there. Looking forward to the "run".
Well Adrianne, you must've lead a very sheltered life.

Right now the Pinks Run is going to be on Friday instead of Saturday, because my cousin's daughter is getting hitched on Saturday. I'll post it by this Saturday.

Message: Happy 4th of July to Cougars of all ages. Here's to everyone having a good weekend, some great BBQ, good beer, homemade ice cream, and another Dodger loss to the SF Giants' ace tonight. Don't despair, if Manager Dick Tracy pitches to Mr. Bonds, Barry Bonds, you can even have some good, old fashioned fireworks over the Outfield Pavillion (whatever happened to bleachers?).
BTW, Dodger Stadium does not look and sound like the old Dodger Stadium anymore; too many beachballs, ugly long hair pitchers, distracting sound effects drowning out the voice of Vinny echoing through the Park. Nothing stays the same... If I could have my wish, it would be to buzz cut that impostor Dodger Jeff Weaver at 1st Base on a close play. He would know what hit em! Now that would bring back the old Giants-Dodger rivalry!
Other than that, how'd you like being upside down in a 57 Chevy, Mr. Campanella?
Is this the 4th of July weekend already? I'll be mowin' my lawn. Have a safe one, Cougs.

Message: Want to wish everyone at Cougartown a Happy 4th of July. Also, last weekend my husband and I were driving home on the 405 fwy and I looked to my right and saw in a storage yard an Oscar Meyer Weinermobile. It is right where the 110 and 405 come together on the south bound side just past the 110. It must be the place where they store one of them in between uses. It was great to see and reminded me of when I was a little girl and Little Oscar would make personal appearances at the supermarket. I wish I still had that little weinie whistle they used to hand out. Great memories on CT all this week. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Everyone stay safe.
Thanks Sharon, The last time I saw little Oscar and his weiner mobile was at Roths Market in Hawthorne. Great memories......

Wherever you go you will find a COUGAR. Have a safe 4th to all.
Sounds like a fun weekend, Bobby, especially when you go with Jim and Sandie. She'll keep the party going all right. Happy Birthday, Bob Bunim...another Cougar reaches THE milestone, or is it "the crest of the hill".

Message: I remember when I was real little going around the neighborhood sometimes and taking the milk from the porch when I saw it and would drink it all while riding my bike. They were in glass bottles. I think it was Adohr milk or something like that. When they introduced Quake and Quisp ceral to the market they left a small box of each in every house mailbox and I must have taken at least 30 of these little boxes and hid them up in our rafters of the garage where I would hide sometimes. IWhenever I was hungry or something I would go grab a bottle of milkl from a neighbor go up to my little fort and have Quake and Quisp ceral for a couple of hours. Of course I have grown up and would never do that or condone it. How's that for karma. My dad always told me he wishes that I woluld have kids put me through what I did them and his wish came right.

For anyone that knew George Lopez, he was my favorite uncle and was tragically killed in an automobile accident 6 yrs ago. He married his high school sweetheart, Noemi Aguilar Lopez who suffered brain injuries in the same accident, but is making remarkable strides. She is the sister of my mom, Alicia C/O 65...anyone remember her? (she turned out to be a great lady)
Hi Mia, Yes, all us Cougars are related in some way. Thanks for adding to the mix and sorry to hear about George. At least 6 people are no longer with us in that picture.

Message: I don't think the milk man put our milk away - might have been too early in the morning. I do remember the ice man walked in the kitchen to put the ice in the ice box and the Sparkletts water man just opened the door and yelled Sparkletts man and walked in and reloaded the water cooler. These were always such nice people. They all wore such nice uniforms. I guess I'm old fashioned but I really miss that. The Good Humor man was in a clean white uniform and his truck was always clean. Most ice cream trucks in my neighborhood are covered with peeling and faded decals and look really dirty and the drivers are never dressed very nice.

A couple left of him is one of the Lopez boys, then Milton Calkin brother of Bob Calkins 59 second row from top on the end, and on the bottom right,is the lil sister of Becky Christensen. Just cause all those folk look like their bros and sisters.
What about Inglewood Farms, delivered milk all over town. Don Pearlmuter was our milkman that had the route on 119th pl. Their trucks had a cartoon cow on the side. Trucks were cream colored. Helms brownies were also great, not square but oblong and thick and nutty. The jelly filled sugar donuts were my favorite. The first whistles were blown by the drivers, in later years tthe whistles were attached to the truck and hooked up to a air compressor.
Jo Comello, where are you. Always a Cougar..
Thanks Carl for the names. This picture is coming along nicely. YES, Inglewood Farms....good one.
Now see the tooter that I remember on a Helms truck wasn't connected to an air compressor. It was a pull down handle that forced air (bellows-like) through a whistle that was mounted outside the coach.

(Heck, I didn't know your Mom had to submit your name - I figured the Sheriff was like Santa Claus and simply knew everything.) But I think my favorite morning show host had to be Hobo Kelly.
