Took me a while to get this one.  You gotta know a little bit about dogs AND poker.

KPBS2 is re-running a great 2-hour documentary on the history of the circus in America.  It made me think about the great 1949 color photo of the Clyde Beatty circus in San Diego sent in by Bob Richardson.  That's his sister Margaret in the red sweater.  Click HERE to see an enlargement on the web site.

Dave and Linda Roberts Ponsford have sent me three Cougar Times from their days at Horace Mann.  I'm saving the best one for last.  Click HERE to see the April 28, 1967 issue.

Peter Sullins sends word that his wife Shirley Secor Sullins '62 passed away May 21, 2020

David Fichman ’66 passed away on the morning of November 22, 2015 in San Francisco, CA.  He moved around a lot as a kid but predominantly grew up in Ewa, HI, New Orleans, LA, and San Diego, CA.  He earned his Masters in Public Administration from San Diego State University and decided to become a teacher.  He has been a prominent member of the Sonoma community as a history teacher for the last 20 years at Altimira Middle School and more recently at the Sonoma Valley High School. He led both the Gay-Straight Alliance and Fly Fishing Club for his students during his career. He was an avid fly fisherman, kayaker, reader, and teller of "bad" jokes.
