As near as I can figure Nancy Taylor '72 is a STEM mentor, and we have a chance to vote on the project her kids produced. Click HERE to watch the video and vote. Voting is fairly complicated. You have to click on the Public Choice button, decide whether you want to use Twitter, Facebook or email to vote, make your choice, and then wait for them to send your ballot. After I voted they wanted me to add them to my contacts list to make sure my ballot would get through their firewall. Today is the last day ballots can be submitted.

Just one of many things I learned in re-reading the 6-page Pacer from May13, 1965. Click HERE to read it for yourself.
Some of us still recall what used to occupy the site where the Campus Plaza Shopping Center sits today at 62nd and El Cajon Blvd. Click HERE to read the article I snagged off Greg May's Vintage San Diego Facebook page -- and tried to put together on my web site.
