Winter's here and it's pouring rain -- but at least the days are going to be getting longer.  Here's a nice shot of Crystal Pier taken by UT photographer Nelvin Cepeda.

And that goes for the apple pies at Oscar's as well!!

Robert Lein ’59 died November 22, 2021.  Bob had decided by the age of seven that he would become a police officer like his father Roy, who was a San Diego County Sheriff Deputy.   In December of 1965, Bob graduated from the police academy and became a rookie patrol officer on the El Cajon Police Department.  He served a thirty-year distinguished career. Bob rose to the rank of Lieutenant, was a Watch Commander, and ultimately became Chief of the Detective Division.  Bob was an avid ocean fisherman as well as an expert stream and trout fisherman. He owned his dream boat, a 28 ft. Skipjack. He enjoyed fishing the Coronado Islands and south of San Diego to the Cortez Banks of Mexico.
