My pilot friends LOVE this Far Side cartoon.  They call them Cumulogranite clouds and say it's important to fly around them.

I thought I'd posted this photo before, but I can't find it.  It's a postcard photo of San Diego State around 1957.  Click HERE for an enlargement.

Scott Shaw posted this photo of an Oscar's Drive-In sign on Facebook.  I think it was taken at Midway and Rosecrans.  Click HERE for a larger view and see what you think.

Julie Eskew recently rediscovered her Choir Pins from Horace Mann and Crawford.  Click HERE to see them up close.

William Simpson ’63 passed away May 30, 2024.  As a Crawford Colt, Bill lettered in track and wrestling.  He joined the San Diego Fire Department in 1966 and rose through the ranks to become a captain.  He served as a firefighter for 35 years.  Bill loved to hike the Sierras with friends and family and made annual trips which together covered over one thousand miles of mountain trails. He also loved to snow ski with his family near Lake Tahoe and travel with his wife Margaret to many places around the world.  He is survived by his wife Margaret, daughter Brigette, son Travis, stepson Justin, grandchildren Ryan, Gage, Sophia, Jacob, Max, and Cael and brother Ron.
