Message: John, finished the email list took all day, but got through it. Reconnected with the 1st gal I ever connected with in my youth, from class of 75, I of 70, Michele Bowe. May escort her to her 30 year, the night of the picnic, or go for dinner and show before or after that day. I couldn't resist the temptation of looking at the pictures from the 75 class yearbook at the reunion site. Saw that picture, oh my lord, never should have looked. Oh lord, what am I gonna do? I detect radiation, the geiger's moving. Now I have to punish myself and cut it off, LOL. Hope all goes great for the picnic, might bring here from 75 if everything works out. John, I'm sure you and others know the feeling of reconnection after many years and know the worth of it in our short lives. And to see someone special again, that you never thought you'd see again....well, you know. Anything else I can help with, let me know, I'll try. To a great time Cougars.
Thanks much Ed and see you at the 2nd Picnic...

Message: Ok, I admit it, I'm a little slow..... but I have to say Jim, Gordon, and I had a great time at the Sacramento State Fair last Saturday. How you did it John - a 24 hour day, is beyond me. Obviously I'm a lot older than you!!! Meeting new friends and old classmates is always a kick. I know Anita isn't fond of the picture you posted, but everyone in Cougartown needs to know she had enough energy at the concert that even those on stage talked to her. She must have lost 10 pounds dancing that night. It was a great show and great people. I'm so pleased we were able to be part of the event. Wish we could make the Cougartown picnic but know that y'all will have a great time!!!!
Hi Myrna, I too had the best time with you all and yes, Anita had the best time of all and she wasn't even DRINKING!!

Thanks again to all who showed up in Sacramento, and you and Jim could make the picnic. It's only a 7 hour drive and I've got an extra bed, so you have NO excuse. If an old guy like me can drive it, you can too.

I'm looking forward to catching up with Matt Peterson, I don't know if you remember me, but I lived down the street from you. JB, I would love to be your ghost writer for your book, I've always wanted to write the Great American novel, what's more American or Great than Cougartown? Not sure if I can make cruise night, but will try. Hope everyone is doing fine, it's been a very wacky summer for me and my boys, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. By now I have the strength of Hercules :)
Thanks Jill, we'll see you there....

Message: I just want to say that Sue Bierman King is doing a great job organizing and getting the e-mails out. She now has Sherry Wingo Peppers and Ed Schatz helping. It's a big job, but it looks like its all under control.
Also, I know you've mentioned this before, but just thought I'd give everyone a heads up. There are people phishing out there using Cougartown as bait. Don't bite. Don't reply to these. When you see them just delete them. The one's I'm getting the heading says that my Cougartown account is in jeopardy of being cancelled or that I have broken Cougartown rules and am being cancelled unless I respond. Again, don't open these e-mails, they may contain a virus.
Now back to Cougartown business. Right now that business is the picnic. You have a month to sign up people, but I wouldn't wait if I were you. I have a couple of fun games that I'll bet none of you have ever played. If you win, you could win a white elephant prize. Now that alone is worth coming to the picnic for.
Have a great Cougar day!
Thanks Sharon, and Edward, Sherry, and Sue for helping out. This one is coming together.

Message: Big John B. Got this image of you in my head, kinda like Buford Pusser walking around with this tree trunk, crackin' skulls. lol. Anyway, got about 10 emails from Sue and the lists, will get right at it. Joined classmates for a 3 month period to find people, is it Kosher to have them join in and get on Cougartown? Classmates has extras, as a corporate site would, but this one is for us, so trying to get them over here. Man, if everyone came, there'd be nobody left in Hawthorne. Will do as much as I can, I don't do archiving and tracking down for nothing. John, we're proud you're on our side.
Hey Edward, Well Buford might be a stretch. Imagine Lou Costello only taller.

Thanks a bunch for helping out and yes, if you find people on Classmates that don't know about Cougartown, crack some skulls and gettem' over here. Thanks again....

Message: John, we can help you with your book. Just start the stories on feedback. I am sure plenty of people will add to it and embellish it in ways you never thought of. Or maybe a Hawthorne High School class could go through Feedback and gather the stories. If the book will be in 2 years then the movie will be in 5. Who should play the young John Baker? See you at the picnic.
Now see, I knew I shouldn't have mentioned it.

It'll be a little different than just Feedback stories, that's all I'm saying for now.

(No Denny's discount for me yet) The concert was a blast but I was wondering why the Safaris didn't sing Surfer Joe. That song was a classic behind Wipe Out. I won't make the picnic this year but will try next year. Hav a fine Cougar day.
GOSH DANGIT!! I knew I left out someone. Thanks Max for bringing that up. I am totally embarrassed and thanks for showing up. I will fix it now.

Message: Solution of the whats up with the 24th dilemma. John is correct! Just follow this simple formula and it?s perfectly clear! So the 24th is very correct it?s just that no one will be there on that date. Come on You Have to do the math! (Back slash= division) 24Day/3.14pi=7.64 + 9\17date =924/24Day=38.5+17day=55.5/3.14pi=17day.67hr/of 24 Therefore on sept, 17th at 3:58pm This picnic will be kickin off Big !!
OK.....so I guess we have our joseph Mailander of math.

It would be just a little easier to look at your own calendars and when the 17th comes up. SHOW UP at El Dorado Park in Long Beach. Thanks Britt, and will see you there.

Ed, if you would like to help with the e-mails, contact Sue King Bierman. She has taken over that very difficult task. That is probably the hardest part of putting this picnic together. Sherry Wingo Peppers contacted me last night also offering to help. If you all get together, short work could be made of a very difficult task. I want to thank you all for offering.

Message: Big John B. Hope you punched in a typo after my last feedback, you mentioned the picnic as Sept. 24th, while the top of the page says the 17th. Hope it's the 17th, have a wedding on the 24th. That would be so not fun. Hope everyone listed and nmore show up, should be "radical"! Far-out, bitchin', psychedelic, heavy, etc.
I've been saying the 24th instead of the 17th for a few days now, for some grey matter reason. It IS the 17th, though, whatever I say.

Thanks Ed....

Message: I just did a count of the number of people signed up for the picnic so far. Including Cougars and their friends and family, we have just a little over 100 signed up. It's really starting to take shape. I don't know who is coming from the farthest part of the country. So if you are coming from out of state, sign on to feed back and let us know where you are coming from. Pretty slow on CT today, John. Where did every body go? Are you all saving up your energy for the picnic?
Sounds like a great start to a fun picnic, Sharon. Thanks for all you're doing...

I have been sorting through some of my dad's old artwork, and just discovered a painting of hers he purchased at the 1967 Student Art Exhibit held at Bullocks Wilshire downtown. It's a very nice piece called, 'In The Park'. I'd enjoy talking to her, if anyone can help me locate her.
Thanks, Betty

Looks great, that many are coming to the picnic in Long Beach, should be an interesting "gathering". I am waiting for this to arrive, to bad that then it's gone. Hope that more people from different classes join the feedback, great for finding classmates. Anyone having information on any of the "Stripsky" brothers, four that attended Hawthorne High, mid-sixties to mid-seventies? Your are doing a great job here John, more than you know are appreciative of it.
Hey Ed, Thanks for that. Just trying to get and keep our Cougs together, along with introducing different classes to each other. Things like the picnic; it doesn't matter what class you're from, you WILL have a bunch in common, and make new friends with the other Cougs there, I guarantee it. We'll see you at the Cougartown Picnic on the 17th of September. It's lots of fun.
