moved -- or just have fond memories of San Diego in the '40s, '50s and '60s.

January 17, 2025

 

Last Sunday's Doonesbury took me back to my college days at San Diego State.  Click HERE to find out why.



Speaking of San Diego State, be careful where you walk.  My pal Jeff Dalrymple spotted this recently.  It was a donation flagstone from John McMullen '63 and my Saint Didicus catechism crush Becky Seckler McMullen, a '64 Cardinal.  They're fine (I think) they were just helping support the Aztec Foundation.

Yevgeny Yorobe has done it again.  I've added this shot of the Wolf Moon rising over San Miguel Mountain to the spectacular photo he took of the fireworks over San Diego Bay in 2024.  Click HERE to see both shots enlarged.

Our own Scott Shaw! posted this gorgeous night shot of the UCSD Library.  But wait, is that a statue of Dr. Seuss relaxing in his easy chair.  Hold on! I think that's Horton standing next to him.  I believe he "Hears A Who".  Click HERE to view a larger photo.

Remember the Bowlero bowling alley in Mission Valley?  I did a little research and was shocked to learn how briefly it operated.  You might remember it as the Scottish Rite Masonic Center, which was recently demolished.  There long been rumors of a Home Depot going in on that site.  Click HERE to see the photo enlarged, plus a couple of newspaper clippings added by yours truly.



Last week's mention of Quetzal Hall sent me to the UT archives.  I was at State for four years -- longer if you count my Master's Degree -- and didn't know it existed.  Maybe it was because I wasn't part of the Greek scene.  Anyway, it's claim to fame was the great 1952 Panty Raid.  Click HERE to peruse the results of my research.

John Horner '65 reports the passing of his brother Paul '68.  Neither John nor I have access to a '68 yearbook, so I'm using a childhood photo.  If someone can take a mobile phone shot of Paul's yearbook photo I'll put it on the 1968 Obituary Page. Yes, I know the page is screwed up (you have to scroll down forever).  No, I DON'T know how to fix it.  I'll work on it later.
