Message: Okay, I guess I am an official "Cougar" because my wonderful Hunka Hunka burnin love husband is 10 years my junior and I couldn't be any happier. The age is just a number most of the time, however, when you think back, I did babysit many little boys on our block in Hollyglen who swear that they would marry me when they grew up. Gosh brings back that tune in my head, "I'm so young and your so old this Diana I've been told" or something like that. All in all, life is great for this "OLD COUGAR".

Message: Old TV show trivia. Who played swamp fox on the old Weekly Disney show? Hey John with 1000 pages of feedback, that translates to about 15000+/- pages of stuff. You could do a movie and 7 sequels from the stuff on these pages. Greasbys my heart goes out to you but welcome to the poor side of town.

Message: I've been hearing this "cougar" moniker for a while as well and wondered what exactly it meant. It gives a whole new meaning when the gals start singing at reunions, "We are the Cougars, the mighty, mighty Cougars..." I suppose it sounds better than "old bats."

Message: Hey Dan! The Urban Dictionary describes "Cougar" as: "A 35+ year old female who is on the "hunt" for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. The cougar can frequently be seen in a padded bra, cleavage exposed, propped up against a swanky bar in Scottsdale (or other cities) waiting, watching, calculating; gearing up to sink her claws into an innocent young and strapping buck who happens to cross her path. A young man is the Cougar's number one prey." This makes me wonder how many of OUR female Cougars really ARE "Cougars"?

By the way, when did it come into vogue to use the term "Cougar" referring to attractive "older women"? (It's used on that Del Taco commercial and I recently saw an "bit" on E Entertainment Television using the term).

Message: I have bad news to report. Jackie (Butler) Golla class of 1964 passed away Saturday of an aggressive brain tumor. Jackie and I have been friends since our freshman year in high school. She was a good friend. We kept in touch over the years even though Steve and I moved out of state. Jackie and I would e-mail every day. She was born two days before me in the same year, so she and I would always celebrate our birthdays together with special e-mails to each other. I am thankful we saw Jackie and Gary last December when we were in CA for my Mother's graveside service. We met at Alpine Village for a great lunch. Jackie was a beautifully talented lady; a gourmet cook she and her daughter were cooking their way around the world. The last 18 months she personally helped contractors remodel her home. Her yard is a gardener's paradise, she grew at least 20 varieties of lavender and many other herbs and exotic plants. She was a wonderful wife, mother and friend.Jackie went very quickly. The beginning of June she was fine, doing her many projects and leading a normal life the end of June she became ill. Yesterday, they had a family gathering for her. Please pray for Jackie's family. They are devastated by this sudden loss.Take care,Linda Kristof

Message: I'm so saddened to report the passing of another Cougar. Ron Harrison class of 76, passed away this week in Las Vegas. Ronnie and I grew up next door to each other on 115th St. I remember walking to York School kindergarten with Ronnie. We spent many hours playing with Matchbox cars in the dirt under the big tree in the back yard. Our families were very close; many weekends on dune buggies and minibikes at Red Rock Canyon. 3 Harrison kids and 3 Bierman kids. Ronnie was the last Harrison left. Hard to believe they are all gone now. RIP Ronnie....
