Message: The line for brick ordering is this week. If this third brick is to get laid we need your pledge and your money in. Otherwise we'll be left with two bricks and that's not enough room for the planned inscription. So take the plunge and make that pledge and click on Paypal. PS I think copacetic is more commonly spelled with a c not an s.
Yes, we also need more suggestions for the sayings. I think the last day is March 26th to get bricks and sayings in.

Message: As I was watching a old movie late one night, I was reminded that we had something called the "Million Dollar Movie" back in the early 60's, that played the same movie every night for the week. What I recalled today was that the opening music was a man whistling a great tune; which I can still hear the melody but can't recall any other information. Anybody remember that whistler and what the name of that tune was? And, was it called the Million Dollar Movie?
No Clue.....

No photos, no information, no anythings, are you so desolate and detatched that you fled your friends? For all of the fun and pains you endured, the website will only be an empty list, but you should thank mr. baker for assembling and maintaining it. it seems the futher we move ahead in time with the classes, the more isolated the individuals have become. thanks, you did a great job, and keep it up as long as possible: baker man!
Hi Ed, thanks, and I am thanked by the people who show up on this site everyday. Thank you too for being out there.

Message: Sorry for the psuedonym, but that's what I'm publishing under. I just wanted to say thanks for the excellent research material. I'm polishing up a story that takes place in 1973 and I needed to know how to spell "copasetic" ... slang doesn't always appear in the dictionaries. I've saved your mini dictionary for use so I can litter character speech with the proper colloquialisms of the day. I already know many, but more never hurts... Thank you. I'm class of '85, BTW. Not of much use to you guys. I do listen to the music of this period, but Led Zeppelin, Cream, Argent, Hendrix and such are more my bag than the Beach Boys. Nothing against the Beach Boys, I'm just not much into the surf scene.

Bobby Knight has never been on my list of people I have respect for. College basketball sure gives us something to watch until the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (or is that Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles, or maybe the Los Anaheim Angeles Angels) start their season.

Message: To all the wonderful Cougar Alums who sent cards and emails, posted on Cougartown and attended the memorial, thank you. I know Marsha and Lorene were touched by the wonderful stories so many of you shared. Franz was a very special person and I was privileged to share his life for so many years. We met October 3rd, 1965 about six hours after I arrived in CA. I also met Avery Knapp and Gary Persinger on the same night. We shared many memorable moments with Avery and Gary and their families as well as Johnnie McFall and his family and Richard Lewis. Franz, Gary and Johnnie are waiting for the rest of us to show up in heaven, but until then, thanks to all who remember Franz and how much he touched our lives.
With much affection for all of you! Lindsey, Michael and Rosalie Russell

I understand that Pournamdari and Golban, owners of the property, have not presented acceptable detailed plans to the city and that there is no scheduled timeline to rebuild the proposed 100 room structure. I wonder what they will call it.
I heard they were tearing down the Cockatoo/Lococos. No idea what's what on that yet.

Hi Carole, Thank you for the donation to the monument. To answer your question about how long you've been in Ctown, it was Tuesday, June 8, 1999 at 14:04:33 and you were living in Newhall.

Message: Hi Betty, Thank you for the kind comments. You know, when I was a kid, the word "keen" or the more emphatic "keeno" meant "cool". So when I heard my Sundale Avenue cousins, Don and Lynn Matteson, talk about Betty Kean, I thought it was a nickname, something like Betty "Cool". Even in High School I thought you were "cool" because you were an editor of the "Cougar" school newspaper. :)

Of course if there was more to do in West Texas they might not be so wrapped up in Football and Basketball. Oh well..guess I'll just put on my brand new Cougartown shirt, play some beach tunes on the Ipod and drown out the "guns up y'all" cheer.
True Laura, EXCEPT for the Trojans in the BCS Championship Game. Maybe there's more to do in Westwood
than Exposition Park.

That is just one of the many antics that she shared with the Nicocia kids back in the middle 60's. Life would of been so boring without the humor/fun that you brought to our family. Have a great day! And, Larry Bach, OMG, your b-day is one day before mine. (So, that still makes me younger...lol!) I'll raise a glass (or two) in honor of Cheryl's and your b-day. Let the parties begin!

I'd like to figure out a way to incorporate 'Good Vibrations with 'Wouldn't It Be Nice', but everything I've come up with sounds a bit too suggestive.....oh well, back to the drawing board!
