A Bliss cartoon from this week
Steve Gunderson and Kathy Najimy weren't the only ones to work with the late Burt Bacharach. Dennis Bishop reminds me that his brother Stephen Bishop wrote the lyrics to It's Only Love -- Bacharach wrote the music -- for the soundtrack of the movie Arthur. Click HERE to take a listen.
John Floodberg ’62 passed away peacefully, on March 30, 2022. Born in Oneida, New York, John moved with his mother to Chula Vista at the age of four. He was a San Diego resident the remainder of his life. John began undergraduate classes at Mesa College soon after graduation. He joined the National Guard and married his first wife, Judy Thomas, in 1965. Between 1965 and 1972, John worked as a draftsman for several architectural firms. The first blueprints John put his architectural stamp on were for the Grove Gallery at the UCSD Crafts Center, built in 1982. It was a collaboration between John and his childhood friend, Ron Carlson ’62, the Center's Director. John and his current wife, Nancy Dickinson Floodberg, met in 1971 when he volunteered to bring the San Diego Mental Health Association's halfway house up to code; Nancy was the Director of the halfway house. They wed two years later and moved to a home in Pt. Loma – the home he lovingly remodeled over the years and where Nancy, their eldest daughter and her family still reside. In 2005 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. As with any challenge he faced, he met this diagnosis with grace and determination. He was preceded in death by his brother Ron Robson ’71
