April 26, 2024


I'm a little unclear on my Passover etiquette.  Is it too late to wish my Old Testament friends a Happy Passover? It always sneaks up on me. Turns out it started this past Monday at sundown, and will end on Tuesday, April 30th.



I saw this hat for sale on the web.  I'm nor buying one, but the caption cracked me up.



This stunning aerial, with Seaport Village in the foreground and Balboa Park way in the back, may have been taken in 1983 like the helicopter shot featured recently.  The square patch of dirt center-right appears to be the future site of Horton Plaza Shopping Center, which opened in 1985.  Click HERE if you'd like to peruse a larger version.



George Sorensen '69 has a new book out.  You can tell by the cover artwork that it's gonna be fun.  Click HERE to read more about it -- and maybe snap up a copy -- on Amazon.



Bob Creason '62 shares a 1959 snapshot of four Horace Mann track stars -- himself, Richard Green, Dan Worona and Colin Cole.  Click HERE for an enlargement, with additional information, including the current whereabouts of Bob's gym shorts.




James Person ’61 passed peacefully on April 9, 2024 with his family at his side, his long journey with lymphoma over.  He is survived by his wife Pat Baker Person ‘63, two children, five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and his 103 year-old mother.  Jim graduated from SDSU with a degree in chemistry, but worked for Social Security for 36 years. He loved to build furniture in his wood shop.  He and Pat spent their twenty-five years of retirement camping and "loving on their grandchildren".
