moved -- or just have fond memories of San Diego in the '40s, '50s and '60s.

September 3, 2021



(Hint:  Looks like someone has arrived in Hell in a Handbasket)



More than a handful of folks thought this was Fritz Ziegenfuss and that last week's shots of the 1956 San Diego Commencement were actually 1965.  I did a little research and it turns out that the 1965 Commencement was held in Aztec Bowl and not the Open Air Theater.  I've included the snippet below, from the June 12, 1965 San Diego Union, that shows Jim Schrupp '61.


Last week I shared the colorful crowd photo from the 1962 Crawford-Mission Bay football game.  Here's the other color photo from the 1963 Centaur.  Click HERE if you'd like to see an enlargement.



Click HERE to check out the 1956 Horace Mann Cougar loaned to me by the late Larry Mabee '61.  I'm trying to do the math.  9th Graders from 1956 would go on to become Crawford's first graduating class in 1959 -- I think.
