Message: A couple of people made mention of Dr. Gray, DDS. I went to him as a young lad before he built the infamous Castle of Drilling & Filling. He seemed kind of mean and a hair sadistic at times. Always would make sure ya got a good look at the pliers he would use for pullin out those stubborn choppers that just had to go! Got a good look at em once- engraved on the side I think it said "Craftsman". As a child I was certain that DDS stood for: "Dey died screaming". Couldn't get next to the Castle thing either. Dentistry with the medieval touch? No way man!! Bob C. 73

I am now my parents, Officially NUTS!!
Can some dear Cougar friend help me and remember the name of the Dentist that was on the corner of 134th or 135th and Hawthorne Blvd, on the Pizza Show side of the street
It seems like I was at his office at least once a month because I seemed to have a bad habit of accidentally throwing out my retainers at lunch time.
My dentist here in town and I were talking, and come to find out, he went to Aviation, Class of '75. We both were trying to remember his name. Funny thing is, he sure knew the Freakin """CASTLE DENTIST""" still creeps me out to think of him.....
Let me know if anyone can remember, Thanks

To all who don't know, The Castle is now a permanent fixture on the east side of Jim Thorpe Park

Hi Penny, The Beach Boys' monument or I guess it's the Wilson's monument goes hand in hand with the Ctown theme. It's a natural. Thanks for the nice thoughts and we'll see you at the dedication.

Now we have to figure out what to put on the brick. We have 3 lines; being partial, Cougartown should be added somewhere. So come on Cougs, let's have your ideas. Sue Bierman is the first to have a suggestion:
"Beach Boys Forever,
Thanks for Fun, Fun, Fun
Love, COUGARTOWN"
Lines can't exceed 20 characters per line including spaces, so there's already a problem with Sue's
Who else has a suggestion? Thanks again Cougs....
