Message: John Achrem, unreal video. That was awesome. You did a great job. That really brought back memories. I love just seeing it and recognizing people and remembering their names after 30 years of not seeing them. It surprised me. Also, John where was OSHA when those kids were playing on the frame.

Message: Had an opportunity to look at the memorial video and the pictures this weekend. My gosh, what a great effort was put in by you and all of the dedicated committee members. It was great fun seeing so many 62ers having an obviously fun couple of days together! Lots of years have passed and we have all chosen our paths in life in various directions........the one constant is the times we shared growing up, so many fond memories and pride in being able to call ourselves the Hawthorne Cougars. Such a wonderful bond that continues in large part because of your continuous efforts and caring. Thanks for caring John.......you're the best and I love ya' tons!

Message: Hi John B, Something I want to pass on to you. Since I've been retired, Ive kept in touch with two workers. I showed the Cougartown web site to my italian buddy Bob, from Paso Robles High(1956) and Gary from Fullerton High(1962), they thought that was the best thing they have seen since sexy ladies. They said what a great way to try and find old classmates and friends. My hat is off to you also, John Baker.

Message: Hi John! I just finished looking at the "Class of 62 Turns 62" Reunion pictures.....AGAIN....and I am amazed. What a nice collection of pictures. Besides the bond we all feel one for another, aren't we just so good looking!! Ok Ok maybe a few more gray hairs, less hair, a few pounds here and there......but still after all these years so good looking! A very special thank you to you John Baker for scanning all these pictures and getting them up on the website. I know it is a lot of work, and know you spent a lot of time doing it, but also know the love you have for our class as well as the other classes and that you are indeed blessed in doing it. We love you John!

Message: In references to your hitcounter. Try Statcounter.com I use it on every website I do. It is great. You can control everything. From page refresh to IP. It tells you what country they come from, time of day, browser, screen resolution and all kinds of stuff. I love the country tracker, it's interesting to see where people are from that come to the page. It is free for the basic which is pretty good it just limits the number of hits it controls. You can upgrade for hardly anything. Just a great thing

Message: I saw the reunion pictures. Once again the question comes up about the BEST athlete of ALL TIME at HHS. You saw his picture. Gary Mykkanen to my knowledge was the best. Let me give you an example.We were playing in the Pacific Shores Basketball Tournament and in the second game against Redondo,Gary went to the basket and two Redondo guys got out of his way. I have never seen this happen before or since. They got out of his way.

Message: Hi fellow Cougars, if you want to see some cowboy action, look on this website,its in Norco. the dates are Oct 26, 27, 28 & 29th. lots of cowboy stuff, target shooting, rodeo events, entertainment, and great food, chuck wagon style. The web site gives you directions on how to get there, if you like good s--t kicking action don't miss it. There's nothing like the smell of gunsmoke in the morning. Well maybe the second best thing. Check it out and enjoy.
