Man -- I don't know how many times I heard that at the dinner table, not that I ever threatened NOT to eat it.

I coulda told 'em 200 years ago, "Sure, you're a big operation now, but that total celibacy thing is gonna bite you in the ass."

I don't know Deanna Hayes, but I sure like her photos. This is the County Administration Building, all lit up for the elections. Did you know it was originally San Diego's City Hall, dedicated by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on July 16, 1938

Another treasure from Mary Lou Gurling's Scrapbook and one more thing I wasn't invited to. I was probably too busy anyhow working on my stamp collection. Click HERE to see the image enlarged.

IN MEMORIAM
Bob Belenzon '70 passed away last Friday at
Scripps Hospital. He and his wife were in Phoenix, on their way
home from visiting family in Missouri, when he started feeling
badly. They drove straight to Scripps in San Diego where he died
of a brain bleed. It wasn't a total surprise, I assume, as he had
had heart surgery last year. I didn't know Bob, but he shared
things with me over the years, which I'm sharing again below. The
Belenzons -- Bob, David and Debbie -- were first cousins of my
late pal George Fogelman '63.
Bob's niece has left a wonderful remembrance on the Class of '70
Obituary Page.

and HERE for a larger copy, and some signatures, of the 1962 Rolando Little League American Mattress team.
Bob also shared photos he took of the Belmont Park Roller Coaster. We're not sure of the dates, but Belmont Park closed down in December 1976 for non-payment of property taxes and then was refurbished and reopened on August 11, 1990. Click HERE to look at enlargements.
