Message: Alright John, another idea. We could run a campaign for a third brick as it seems there is some interest and then lets get hold of the monument folks and see if we can be sure that our three bricks would end up in a row. That would allow us the chance to write a longer message through all three bricks.....hmmmm....what do you think?
OK, you're in charge (NEVER volunteer here). Contact them and see what's what. Actually we're over on the 2nd brick by 40 or 50 dollars. I was going to give them the extra, but we've got some interest so let's plunge ahead.

Message: Hello everyone, I'm back online!! Had to get a new computer. The repairman for my old one told me to dig a hole, bury it and say a prayer!! hehehe Hell to get old, huh? Two Bricks for the Beach Boys? Wow, that's great news and I see my name was added to the list. Well, I guess I owe David some money!! hehe Thanks, what a nice thing for him to do. He knows I'd be upset after I missed the first brick donation. That one went fast!! I also wanted to tell you that I had a Cougar sighting. I was at a slot tournament and met a guy by the name of Dan Yoerger. He went to HHS but didn't graduate. He would've been in the class of '69. I told him about this site, but he's not on the net right now. He promised to look us up when he got on. His friend in high school was Larry or Jim Jeffries, I think he said. I'll check with him on that at the next tourney.
Always happy to be a Coug!
Hey Karen, Glad you're back and thanks for spreading the word....

He was a great guy, an easy going, hard running fullback. Always fun to be around. He was a good friend. Sorry this is late, I haven't turned my P/C on for a while and didn't learn of Franz's passing until today. May God Bless and comfort the Russell family in this time of sorrow.

Message: As I was trying to parallel park the other day, I had a memory of my father and his early 60's Chevy station wagon (with the last row of seats facing out the back window, who remembers that?) Do any of the car buffs out there remember the 'feelers' that were attached to the passengers side next to the tire to let you know when you were close enough to the curb to park? Talk about a blast from the blast. Was that standard for all cars of the early 60's; or perhaps it came with certain makers/models? On another note, I've finally hung up my pictures and settled in nicely in my first townhome in the canyons of RPV/San Pedro. I would love to get a handyman who can help with a few minor remodels and other misc. upgrades, that perhaps live in the area? I've finally entered the real world of mortgages, and reasonable/affordable quotes is what comes to mind for this single gal living on her own really needs right now...lol! And, Larry Bach, what a nice tribute to your grandma that you wrote the other day. You have such a artistic/poetic side....... for a fireman. :))))
Hi Enza, Curb feelers were actually going out in the 60s and probably introduced on the 1935/36 models.

The VFW is located on 131st St. at the top of the hill west of Hawthorne Bl. Janny does the cooking and it's great food.

We narrowed our search to the Torrance Marriott for the proposed reunion date of Saturday, September 17th at a cost of $80 to $100 a person. We are currently asking all HHS Class of 75 alumni to indicate if they would be willing to attend for that date and location.
We request a response by Friday, March 18th. So far, 14 alumni have strongly indicated that they would attend. If we do not meet a threshold of at least 100, we will not be able to afford the event.

Message: Don't know if this is the correct page to do this but I've noticed that you show both of my e-mail addresses on the alumni list except that my yearbook picture isn't displayed.....any way you can fix that?
Hi Anita, There are three of reasons why pictures won't show up on the Alumni List. The first is, I don't have all yearbook pictures. Secondly, if you've never left a Feedback, your picture isn't on the server. Third, if you have added a nickname (ie Anita (Nita) Harmon) the database will not find your picture. Since this is the first time you've added feedback, your picture is now on the server, so if you don't have a nickname added you should see it now. Hope this helps. AND thank you for the membership it is appreciated.
