Message: I haven't been on Cougartown for a couple of days as I was entertaining guests from out of town to celebrate a birthday on the 28th. So a belated Happy Birthday John. I got a kick out of all the titles bestowed upon you for your birthday. Master of Ceremonies, Captain Cougartown, Baker Man, old dinosaur, Ole dog, Johnny Boy, Mr. Baker and of course, John. Did I miss any? I think they all say we love you.

Message: Haven't checked in for a couple of days. Still living in this hotel after the fire (with my two dogs) and counting my blessings. John, Happy Belated Birthday! As I look over the feedback, I realize how much we all have been blessed to live in Hawthorne and attended the high school during such a wonderful time (not to mention the great music of that era). Thanks once again to our reunion committee for making a magical night happen once more. Love you all. Good night.

Message: I would like to thank Ray Millman(71), for inviting me to his home atop Palos Verdes Sunday. I was able to talk more to those who I missed reunion night. We hang out in his back yard for a good part of the day, and for a few of us, we were able to spot the Hawthorne water tower. I couldn't tell if it was the low clouds, smog, or age, as to why it took us so long to find the tower. I am also glad that I was able to hang with Gary Shambaugh(71) and his family over the weekend. They opened their home to me, what a cool family. And for Teri & Kim of the class of 73, I hope you Girls can crash our 40th, you both look great.

We had a great time visiting with old friends and to catching up, but there never seems to be enough time. Hey Gary! Thanks for convincing (paying off) the DJ to stay longer so we could dance longer. It was worth every sore muscle I have. Hal Chauncey, you are GREAT and should take your act on the road. Rumor has it that the class of 73 might be organizing a reunion, if we are, you are ll invited! Thanks again, Teri

The entire (massive) Galindo family opened their home and hearts to me since I first crashed in their attic more than 30 years ago! (Although I should have listened to them to be very careful when tasting their Dad's nuclear salsa!) Thanks to you Margie and to all Galindos everywhere!

Message: I can't let all these friends outdo me with their birthday wishes. I want you to know you are my very best friend and I wish you the very best for another year and always.
Now you can go out tonight but get in early. And while I am here I want to thank those who responded so positively, both on the site and e-mails, to my story on my early life growing up. Since you liked it so much I may give you some more episodes. Remember I always told you to keep your friends. They will mean more than money. You win!
Love You, MOM
