Hawthorne Happenings News for the City of Good Neighbors from an Old Guy named Norb Huber A Regular Guy Every year a few of us from the Historical Society gather to discuss who we would like to honor by selecting them to be inducted into our Hawthorne Hall of Fame. There are a lot of famous people who have lived in Hawthorne. They may have grown up here and started performing in Hawthorne. Yes, we know of the Beach Boys, Chris Montez, Marilyn Monroe, Jim Thorpe, and even Gorgeous George who all have called Hawthorne home. Our criteria for selection includes what the individual has done for their community. We ask what they have contributed back to their hometown. Sometimes we wish we were as talented and famous as these celebrities. Our lives would be so much better if only we could sing or dance or play a sport as well as our idols. As we all should realize, being famous is not always as great as it seems. God has given all of us unique talents and abilities. It’s how we use those gifts that really matter. Don McIntire was just a regular guy. He was born in Inglewood and graduated in the first senior class at Hawthorne High School in 1955. He went to work at a local motor company and met his wife there. He worked for the City of Hawthorne in the Public Works and Parks departments for over 32 years. He volunteered to coach his kids’ youth football and baseball teams for 16 years. Following retirement he worked at the Hawthorne Museum as a docent giving anyone and everyone an ear full of Hawthorne history. Don was just a regular guy who loved to talk, loved his family, and loved his city. Don McIntire was not a celebrity. He wasn’t famous but in his own special way he made a difference in many peoples lives. If we are just a “regular guy or gal” we think that we are not that important. We go to work, we come home, do our chores and raise our kids. We do the regular stuff that most every parent does. Nothing that exciting. We may not be famous, but every working mom and dad who give of themselves to nurturing respectful, God-fearing children are special. Being a parent who stays home and loves their children have done a much harder job than performing on stage or out on the field. It’s that parental love that makes all the difference in a young person’s life. All parents deserve to be inducted into their own hall of fame. Celebrate your victories, celebrate being just a regular. Have a cold one!
