Marty Marty come quick, Keith's got his head stuck in the bike rack and he swallowed its tongue. It'll take 2.1 gigabytes to store this story.

Gee Keith why you'd go and do a dumb thing like that. [With all the stories it would be a universal fit]

Hey Keit your pitipul.

A wunnaful a wunnaful!

Today, as he was on his way to get his head stuck in a bike rack he was hit by a moving van, and swallowed its tongue. Later having had his head removed.....uh from the bike rack [that's correct isn't it Keith you had your head removed from the bike rack, as opposed to not just having your head removed] he stuck his hand through a window and severed it. Stay tuned.

Well done and seasoned just so... I've been to Tommys but it's just not the same. Plus FF is closer to the freeway and closer to my flight path. HA! Traffic beats taste every time!

It was, undoubtedly, the wildest party I ever attended. 200 or more people, easily. I was a freshman, and very impressed, not to mention scared silly! Lots of booze, lots of cops. Lots of fence jumping! What a night. . .
GONNA PARTY LIKE ITS 1966!!!!

If not most of us will have to get back to our jobs and miss the beach party. It's the pitts living so far away from all the great stuff going on there. Guess it's our own fault for moving out of sunny CA. My husband hopes to be retiring in a couple yrs. and we are looking at the Vegas area. That will put us alot closer than we are now. Glad to see my big brother Steve Kristof is a regular on the feedback board. He can tell a few stories. But my little bro. Ray is pretty shy yet. Ray I dare you to write something on this board!!
Hi Linda, We'll see about that Mini Beach Party and your reunion weekend. Maybe we can work that out. Yes, Steve is pretty brave all right to jump right in like that. How long have you known about the site Steve..... 2 years??

Keep the cards and letters comin' and I'm sure that a party will turn up soon... What is the deal on the beach party John? Or should I be asking Patty?
Hi Frank, You are welcome for the campus photos. I know that all the "out of the area" people enjoy them. The beach party is slated for fall (probably October). It will be another mini and will be simply, bring your marshmallows, hot dogs, ukuleles, etc. I think Joyce Savisky Chance (HHS62) wants to handle this one. You can email her at chancesr@pacbell.net if you have any great ideas on an HHS mini-beach party. Thanks Frank.

He's still a very good friend and I'll tell him that we heard from you. Actually, he told me he was buying a computer and getting on line, but I don't think that he has, so I'll call him in a few days and ask. I would like to ditto what John said and sincerely thank you for going to Vietnam. I'll think of you on Memorial day. Do you remember Vita Beneze? Roberta Burket, also a class of '61 Cougar, saw her recently and I guess she's doing just fine. I heard that Sharon Hall started her own dress shop, probably having designed all of the clothes. Since we graduated, quite a few of Clayton's students have become artists in their own right. Do you remember the eccentric Harvey Mandlin? Clayton told me, at one time, that he'd become a photo director in New York.
Robin, I am beet red. Thank you for the compliment. I wish that it were true. The pic that John put up of you was a good one. It's exactly how I remember you. Did you end up growing a beard or moustache? You should send in a photo of you and your car. It would definitely make for good viewing. I saved that pic of your car.

Stay with that artistic goal Steve. I'm a firm believer that we've all got art in our soul. As for that Viet Nam thing........I don't think I had a chance to personally thank you for the "One Hell Of A Fine Job" you did under the circumstances. Thank you Steve.

Just because she hasnt changed in 40 yrs is no reason to rub it in our faces..Just kidding!!!

The reason she gets her face up here is because she's much prettier than you are Robin. OK I'll put it up, but don't blame me if Feedback attendance drops off.

I like the idea Dewey Storie had about cake and ice cream when the feedback pages hit 100. I suggest we just cut it down to ice cream at Foster Freeze on Hawthorne Blvd just north of 120th. What about the Saturday after the "BIG 100" at 2PM. If someone wants to bring cake maybe we could have some too.
Chris, OK, sounds great. It's a date!!! The Saturday after the Feedback Page hits 100 pages, it's
"BIG 100 Cruise Night" at Fosters in Hawthorne. Everyone bring their cruzin' cars. We'll party down with those leaky cones and talk about the Great Old Days!!

Message: Well the moving van incident happened when I was around 6 or 7 years old. I was riding my Sting-Ray (remember those) down the street one day when I heard a honk but didn't do anything and kept riding. Then I guess he honked a couple of more times and I still didn't move ( I guess I wasn't thinking...duh). Well the moving van hit me from behind and I went flying through the air and landed on the curb . The moving van kept going for awhile then finally stopped out front of Mike Krstich's house. My bike's handlebar puntured the oil pan of the moving van. I got up while all the neighbors came out to see if I was Ok. My mom called our family doctor who came to our house to check me out and couldn't believe after seeing the accident scene and what happened to the moving van that I didn't even have a scratch on me. It took several hours to get the moving van out of the street because the handlebars were wedged in so tight that they had to get the tow truck to lift it up real high and then tied a cable around the bike to pull it out. If I remember right the moving van was actually moving the Krstich's in that day. Other than that nothing happened. In reference to the web page for just me, I don't think so. John has enough work keeping this up. I use this site to tell some of my past experiences that everyone has in their lives just mine might be a little stranger. But, I'm sure everyone has them. If you right them down for all of us to read, you'll find it very satisfying. It's like giving to charity, it makes you feel real good inside. I don't do it to get the attention. Believe me I get more than enough attention just walking down the street, so I don't need anymore. But, I do enjoy thinking of my past experiences and sharing with my fellow Cougars. For some of us the past is something we cherish. I think that is why we have this page. Everytime I see a name I recognize I go back in time when I was with this person or think about the times we had. It's nice to see how my frien

The best thing about that was my Extremely Prudish mother (rest her soul) was in the bleachers.

You were in the passenger seat and your dog was driving the car? (no I am not crazy, Dave can confirm this) There were some elderly people across the street and over a couple of houses, I thought they were going to have a stroke on the spot when they saw that. It wasn't all that strange to see you on Ramona being chauffered by your dog. What looks you got from people. Has your dog advanced to driving the carpool lane on the freeway yet? Tell Karen and Kenny I said hello, I haven't seen them for years. FYI The Sturgeons now live in ElSegundo, and I'm sure you know Steve retired from HPD about 5yrs ago.

They remind me of many of the crazy "it seemed like a good idea at the time" stories we all could tell if we only had the time and the ability to condense a long story into a short one. I think my younger brother, Tim Badger (he now lives in Milwaukee, WI) was "cut from the same cloth as you, Keith" - my brother tells the story of how he broke his hand playing frisbee when he stepped on it. When he went to the emergency room for x-rays, they asked him what happened and he told the truth - before they put a cast on his hand, every nurse, orderly, and technician in the hospital came to take a look at the guy who broke his own hand by stepping on it. So Keith, keep the stories coming. When I read them at work, I'll just let everyone wonder.
Now THAT'S a great story Sharon. Thanks, and I'm sure your brother doesn't mind you telling it either.
