Gary Trudeau has been running old strips from the '90s, but they still crack me up. This one reminds me of my pal Tom LaShell, who says, "I got a good education at San Diego State. It could have been gooder."
A series of stunning color photos of JFK's visit to San Diego State in 1963 popped up on Facebook this week. I've transferred the images to my website. Click HERE to check them out. Feel free to fill in names and locations. Some Colts may see their SDSC Faculty parents in the photos. I'm in the photo of the west side of Aztec Bowl with 8000 of my closest friends.
I'm normally indifferent to travel photos, but this week's New York Times piece about Madagascar knocked my socks off. Click HERE if you'd like to check it out.
Dorian MacDougall is a 1970 Helix High grad, who had many Colts as childhood friends: Craig and Neil Johnston, Don and John MacArthur, and Harvi, Scott and Cheri Malone to name a few. He's written a fascinating and fun tale of Southern California history in his book California Pop. He's got Paul Harvey The Rest of the Story takes on everything from Architecture to Surfing. You can order the book on Amazon. I got a kick out of his drag race at 54th and Trojan. He lost the race AND got a speeding ticket. The winner disappeared into the mist.
Here's another pictographic map from Cap'n Dick Cloward. It's a 1935 Recreational Map of San Diego. Click HERE for a big map.
No Pacer this week. Instead I'm sharing the ASB Sample Ballot from 60 years ago -- May 3, 1960. Click HERE to see an enlarged version.
