Half Century Trojans (3) Candygrams

Saturday, November 10, 2018---All Class Reunion Tailgate

My husband Jim, sister Patti, brother-in-law Dudley Poon, friends John and Janice Dawson and I started the day by going to our USC Men's Water Polo game versus UCLA at Uytengsu Stadium. At halftime our men were ahead of the Bruins 8-6. This is when Patti, Dudley, Janice and I left and walked over to Alumni Park for the "All Class Reunion Tailgate."

The four of us found a table in the Class of 1968 section.

A fellow TGLA member Terri Boyle, Class of 1978, joined us. I took a picture of the two fellow TGLA members, Patti and Terri.

David Levene, John Romain, Sue and Doug Harnot, and Christin and William Rakow

Trojan Candy saw six Class of 1968 Alumni. They were David Levene (Business Law), John Romain (Business), Sue and Doug Harnot (Dentistry), and Christin (Education) and William Rakow.

At a nearby table, Trojan Candy saw a fellow 1968 Reunion Committee member Gary Sawka. He was sitting with Herbert and Matthew Newman.

Next, Trojan Candy saw another Class of 1968 Alumnus with Fran Conroy.

Believe it or not, Patti, Dudley, Jim and I attended a second tailgate. We were guests at the Rossier School of Education tailgate. Rossier is celebrating its 100 Years. We even ate some more!

We met friends there. In the picture standing were Patti and Dudley Poon and Jim. Sitting were fellow educators, Lai Tan and Genaro Carapia and Alan and Lynn Frechman.

Now, it was on to the USC-Cal game. Trojan Candy took a video of the big screen when the Co-Chairs of each of the following Reunion Classes: 2008, 2003, 1998, 1993, 1988, 1983 1978 and 1968 were introduced.

What another exciting, memorable day!
