Message: Actually Mavericks gets as big as any of the North Shore spots, sometimes even challenging Jaws on Maui for shear size. Add to that the cold heavy water, rock cliffs and ocean bottom and this place is as heavy as any spot on earth. One of Hawaii's greatest big wave riders, Michael Ho, lost his life at Mavericks. Scary scary place at 40'

Message: Not sure if Mavericks can be in reality be considered the Super Bowl of Big Wave Contests but it is big. We have pretty big waves here on the North Shore of Oahu. 40+ on allot of days in the winter. I saw a special on TV or something somewhere on Mavericks. It was a great show. Surfing was so fun back then. I think it was the Endless Summer II.

Message: I remember Ty, at the Block & Tackle (God's speed Ty), he was just one of many who hung out at the end of the bar by the pool table. There were the likes of Tom Barnett, Richard Thomas, Bill Rourk, John Nix, Pat Desmore, Richie Tews (the eyes from Van Nuy's), my self & many others. We had all obtained phoney I.D's. on one of our many trips to Tijuana (that's another story though). However, as I remember, Ron Edie and his Dad Roy, pretty much owned the pool table at the Block & Tackle and/or any other bar they played pool at, they were hard to beat.
Here's a question for you John Boy, Tom Wadman (owner of the Block & tackle), owned Two other bars. He owned the Hatch Cover down at the beach at I believe Rosecrans & Highland, just around the corner from Cisco's, The Blue Book & The Frigate. He also owned a bar on Hawthorne Blvd. at I think 141ST Street, What was the name of that Bar?.
Answer: "Poop Deck"

Message: Kirk I would love to come up there and ski. I skied just about every weekend my junior and senior year. If it wasn't water skiing with Eric Keus, Kathy Lynch Larry King and the other Stone kids I was snow skiing with them up at Snow Summit. I loved snow skiing onkly second to baseball. I started the ski clubat HHS. Is it still happening. Friday night I was up all night tuning up everyone's ski's. I have been snow skiing twice since high school and waterskiing a few times. You are lucky to be there and able to do both types. I guess I too could do them here but just not the same without the trees. See you at the reunion. Say hi to everyone

The final heat should be over by 2 p.m. Daily updates and surf reports are posted on www.maverickssurf.com

Message: Last thing I remember about Ty, circa 65+, after I got out of the service and I didn't know him well, was that he was one hell of a pool player. I remember, he and Jerry Scholes, class of 60, getting together at Imperial Billards to pony up a buck or so at a game of 8 ball or 9 ball. Also remember them both being at the Block and Tackle on Inglewood ave around the mid to late 60's and if one of them had the table, you didn't put your quarter up unless you played for bucks. Tough players, both. I'm sure Mr. Baker would agree. Sorry to hear of his illness, Paco. Tell him a guy like me, still remembers him..and most people , whether they believe it or not , leave a legacy, good or bad, by their peers, of some kind. MAY THE COUGAR BE WITH YOU. Jake N Jude.

Message: Hi, I was hoping someone may be able to give me some information on a person that lived there around the year 1969-70. He may have went to school in that area. His name is Ronald Roberts. He was around the age of 18-22 during that time and drove a motorcycle. I was adopted from California in 1971. The only information that I know is that my father was living in Hawthorne in 69-70. My biological mother was from Carson High and worked at A&W. Her name was Diane Harmon-Cassford,age 17. I have been able to find her, but not my father. I would appreciate any information that you may have. A family member or friend of his would be of great help.
Sincerely, Georgette Vice

I was in on the planning of the 20 year but wanted to bow out of the planning of the 25, However, I have gotten quite a few emails from alumni asking me whats happening. I tried the email address listed in Cougartown for our class Pres. Scott Maples but the email was returned. Can anyone out there reach him? I don't want our class not to have a 25 year. If need be I will step up and plan it. How hard can it be compared to my wedding 2 years ago?

My favorite is ?Ask the man who towed one?. Can any of you early HHS graduates identify this automobile with the Cormorant mascot sometimes called a Pelican or on earlier models the Goddess of Speed mascot sometimes called ?The Donut Chaser?.

Message: I was thinking of the time I went to my 1st formal Dance. I was a freshman in 1977. I had met this girl who I sorta like and thought it would be fun to take her to the Christmas Dance(she was a freshmnan too). I knew I had the money to get all the necessary things and since we ate lunch together almost everyday I thought for sure she would say yes. I was telling my buddy "Mike" how I was nervous but I was "Going to ask her". He didn't know who I was talking about but wished me luck. Then the day came when I did ask her but boy, it was the hardest thing to do. She smiles and said Yes. I was so excited I had to tell Mike about it. That night I called him and he congrats me. But he was mad because some guy ask his "Wanna be date" to the dance. I asked who she was and he said "Anna". My mouth just dropped. I said to him, Mike..I'm that GUY!" We chuckled about it and he said that out of all guys he glad it was me otherwise he be bitter.
