April 12, 2024



My all time favorite Gary Larson cartoon



Tom West gently noted that the construction project in the above photo would become the Convention Center, not Seaport Village. 



In addition, George Glover sent me a photo of a Coast Guard H-3 with the Reuben E. Lee in the background.  I countered with another Coast Guard H-3 photo that I took at Santa Clara Point in Mission Bay.  On a roll, I then came across photos of Sea Kings fighting the 2009 Cedar Fire, a Sea King recovering the Apollo 17 astronauts near American Samoa and, finally, the President's own H-3 which you may have seen this week flying him to look at the bridge damage in Baltimore.  Buckle up and click HERE to check them all out.



Here's a 1946 photo looking south on Fourth at University,  I've also included a Google Street view taken in October 2022.  Click HERE to check them out.



I've added another postcard to the Aztec Motel page.  Click HERE to see the front AND the back.

Camille Negro Frederick '60 didn't renew her subscription to the Crawford newsletter (the April issue went in the mail last Friday).  Inside the return envelope was a simple note saying she died June 30, 2023.
