A group has formed with the express interest, as I understand it, of helping support athletics at Crawford.   All is explained on their web site.  Click HERE to check it out and lend support.

There's talk of the Class of '62 joining '60 and '61 for their October Reunion -- and Denny Aiken wants in.  As good a time as any to revisit a very early posting of Denny inspecting Joel Zane's new paint job.  Click HERE to take a look.

Oh, boy -- it's the 6-page Graduation Issue for the Class of '61.  Click HERE to check it out.

I attended the funeral on May 26, 2021 for Doug Griggs '75 at Miramar National cemetery.  "Little Dougie Griggs" played little league baseball in the Andrew Jackson Little League and was a member of the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts.  He was a Cree hoop dancer.  I remember walking to school at Andrew Jackson with him and his two older brothers Danny and David.  He served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in West Germany, going eyeball to eyeball with the Warsaw Pact countries.  While on leave in Italy he met his soulmate and the love of his life Gunilla who was from Sweden.  After the Army, Doug worked as a heavy equipment mechanic for the City of San Diego, performing maintenance and repairs on fire trucks and other heavy equipment.  He was a car enthusiast and had a beautiful yellow 1938 Chevy coupe that he had torn down and rebuilt from the ground up.  Doug is survived by his wife of 37 years, Nilla, his daughter Janice, his son Eric, and two beautiful grand daughters.  He was laid to rest with full military honors. I will miss him -- George V. Glover ’73  (Doug did not have a photo in the '75 Centaur)
