For people who attended Crawford High School or would have attended if they hadn't
moved -- or just have fond memories of San Diego in the '40s, '50s and '60s.

Saudi Arabia, Palm Desert?  Nope.  It's sunrise over San Diego as photographed by Howard Lipin from Liberty Station.  It appeared in the Union-Tribune on February 1st.

Class of '68 Crawfordites at their monthly lunch get-together.  Clockwise from left:  Rich Mossay, Mike Meyer, John Risley, Steve Morgan and Rick Walsh.  Mike -- January 28, Rick -- January 25 and Steve -- January 27 were kind of celebrating their birthdays.  All attended Montezuma, Horace Mann and Crawford except for Rich Mossay (Horace Mann and Crawford).  Camera shy: Mike Tyndall '68 and Dave Margulis '67 




Mike Pieratt '68 had to remind me twice that his classmate Darrel Wenhardt was elected to the 2022 Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame.  Other inductees included Joe Buck and Terry Bradshaw.  Darrell was recognized for his behind-the-scenes work.   Click HERE to watch a fascinating testimonial.





Nick Watson '64 sent me a long, descriptive tale of him fighting the surf at Wind 'n Sea during Christmas Vacation 1963.  He recalls someone shooting film of the surf and seeing himself in the movie.  He thinks the Crawford Surf Club might have been part of the shoot.  If you can help locate this film let me know.




Mike Kennedy '61 sent this still from a movie showing cheerleaders Dottie Johnson and Virginia Sanderson at a football game in 1960.  I hope there IS a movie and he figures out how to share it.


Take a look at Pacers from 65 and 55 years ago.
