Two Ernies -- No Waiting
Ernie Cowan's Outdoor Column this week is entitled "Sourgrass brings back fond memories of youth." It certainly does for me. Sourgrass grew next to my neighbor's retaining wall and I would regularly grab a handful to chew and savor -- until I noticed the neighborhood dogs were using the site to mark their presence.

Diane Bell's column in yesterday's Union-Tribune noted that County Clerk Ernie Dronenburg would have "four cute and cuddly Havanese puppies dressed to be ring bearers and flower-carrying bridesmaids for the first 30 couples who showed up to get married at the County Administration Center.

The End of the World is Near! Donut Bar, coming to a location very near me, will feature Donut and Beer pairings on Friday and Saturday nights. And I thought Avocado Toast was the yuckiest thing I ever heard of. I wonder who the lucky teenager will be who gets to hose down the Morning After detritus the next day.
Ron Klein '66 shares a wonderful color photo of his classmates Charlie Neuman and the late Harry Butler in their Rolando Little League uniforms circa 1959. Remembers Ron, "All of the uni’s were the same style only with different sponsor patches and, of course, different colors. Eddie Herrmann and Bob Boone wore purple. When I was 10 I was yellow (wool) and the next year we had a new sponsor so we were green and cotton like these. Our sponsor was Greenwood Mortuary."
Remember DJ Art Laboe? Me, too -- sort of. Not only is he not dead, he's still on the air at age 93!! Click HERE to read his fascinating history.

Tom Jauregui ’67 passed away January 18, 2019. After high school, he followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the Army. He spent one year in Vietnam and was allowed to leave the military early to, again, follow in his father’s footsteps and join the San Diego Police Department, where he retired 34 years later.
I went to school with Tom and grew up with him in the same neighbor hood. We went surfing regularly together and hung out together. Both of us joined the Army about the same time and that's where we both lost touch. I'm sorry to hear about his passing, I truly am.
