Message: Hi fellow Cougars! Another great reunion weekend! John, we missed you! Thanks to all of you who joined us. As I tell everyone at the reunions, the most fun for those of us who put these events on is to see the reaction when old friends meet again after many years. If you were there and have pictures you would like me to post on our web site, please email them to me at - notankucarl@aol.com - There are many pictures up already from Friday and Saturday night. I look forward to adding more pictures to the site for all of you to enjoy! Please visit - multiclassreunion.net - to see the current pictures.
Hey Carl, sorry I missed you guys too. From the emails sounds like it was a big hit.

Message: Dear John, Haven't checked in for a while but I do keep up with the goings on...Glad to hear that Danny (Dye) has a new computer and have really enjoyed the photos of class '66,'67 combined reunion posted. I saw you there but you slipped by and out of sight before I could grab your shirt tale. Still pretty quick and slippery. I just read the letter from your Mom and while hoping not to offend your senses, I must say Your Mom Is A Stone Cold Fox. Oh, and a pretty good writer too... Living just one door further west than Danny and David, at 3741 W. 117 these many years ago, we kept chickens too. Fresh eggs, Sunday dinner on occassion. These days, kids in Hawthorne probably don't have experiences like we did...way back then... Cheers to you and to all that keep these memories alive through this medium you created and maintain for us all...Mike
Hey Mike, It's probably been 3 or 4 years since someone's called mom a "stone fox", but then again she lives in Leisure World and there's a mess of old wolves living down there.
Just saw Dan Dye at Cruise Night on Saturday night. Still looks exactly like his El Molino picture too. Glad to know you're still with us, sorry I missed you at the 66-67, and thanks much, Mike, for checking in.

Message: We missed you, John Baker, at the reunion last night, but it is certainly understandable that you can't make all of them. John does so much behind the scenes to help make each reunion a success. John it is very much appreciated. I would also like give a special thank you to Lynn St. George Hopkins for an outstanding job putting this reunion together. And to Carl Tank for all his work on his reunion website.
Thank you Noreen; just want to say it's a pleasure and an honor to do this for all Cougar classes. It seems Cougartown is joining all our Cougar classes together into one big Cougar family, spanning many years. Thanks very much to all Cougartowners for your support and keep those reunions coming.

Message: Ditto what Mr. Bach said (although I don't recall a line-dancer in red, maybe because I was outside on the patio). It was especially good seeing my former neighbors from up the street, Bob and Ed Lane. It was good also to see Dominic Berardino. The dinner conversation was enjoyable as it centered around travel topics rather than aches and pains. The Cruise Night beforehand was also enjoyable. Will anyone tape and make available the interviews that the local Hawthorne cable crew did? Mucho-kudos to the organizers of both events!
Thanks Armand, we had a fun Cruise last night and very sorry to have missed the reunion. Had grandkid duty until about 9:30pm. Glad you had a fun night.

Message: I was just looking at the Memories webpage and saw the Lion's Drag Strip ad. FYI -- Bob's Big Boy on Hawthorne Blvd & PCH have Lion's Drag Strip "Run what you brung" tee shirts for sale. They come in either black or white. Pretty cool.
Just got back last month from a 7 week 8,ooo mile road trip in the Western USA. What a wonderful trip and so many memories.
Hey Christina, Have never been to Bobs Big Boy in Torrance, but will try it real soon. Love the combo, Thanks....

Message: Hey John, would like to wish the legendary (PacBell) softball player, Paco, a very Happy Birthday!! A few years back I found pictures and articles that my dad had saved from when they played together--what a small Cougar world! Oh, and by the way, if anybody has pictures of my brother Dennis, "getting Down" at the '77 reunion last week, will pay big bucks to see that, (he is apparently still recovering)--email me!! Thanks John..
Hey Debbie, Wish away... Isn't his birthday over yet?

Message: I WENT BACK LAST WEEK TO VISIT MY SISTER IN CANYON LAKE, CALIF AND TOOK A DAY TO GO VISIT THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD. I DROVE BY HHS AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE FROM 1975. THERE WAS A SIX FOOT IRON FENCE AROUND THE ENTIRE SCHOOL AND TO TOP THAT THERE WAS A SECURITY GUARD SHACK WITH A SIGN THAT SAID NO ID NO EXIT. IT WAS RATHER SAD. HOLY GLEN STILL LOOKED GOOD. THEY TORE DOWN CABRILLO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ARE BUILDING A NEW ONE. DANA JR HIGH HAD NEW BUILDINGS AND THEY WERE WORKING ON THE FIELDS. I MUST SAY HAWTHORE HAD CHANGED ALOT.
Hey Vicki, You've been gone for a long time. The fence and security have been there for about 7 years. Of course it's the sign of the times at all high schools now. Thanks for checking in and please add yourself to our Alumni List.....

Second, how is your husband Rod? He was always one of Goodman's favorites and the golf was always good. Great times with HHS people.
