Half Century Trojan friend, Tricia Vick, sent me some beautiful pictures that she took at the USC Volunteer Recognition Dinner at Town and Gown. Our honored Half Century Trojan, Larry Steven Londre, received the USC Widney Alumni House Volunteer Award. CONGRATULATIONS, Larry!
ENJOY Tricia’s pictures.
After our first Half Century Trojan retreat was over, there was a second meeting for our 2024-2025 Half Century Trojans Scholars. Trojan Candy stayed to meet and take pictures of our new scholars.
Fourteen of our Scholars came to the meeting. Below are eleven pictures that were taken by me or were submitted by the Scholar. For the remaining three, I missed getting their pictures and didn't get their email addresses to ask for a picture.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of our Half Century Trojan Scholars!
Our first HCT meeting of the fiscal year started promptly at 10:00 am at the Tudor Center. Reports were presented by various Board members. Then the guest speaker Associate Senior Vice President for Alumni Relations Erika Jordan arrived about noon. Several pictures were taken before the Meet and Greet Erika began.
In the Q&A session, several HCT board members had incisive questions and suggestions for Erika.
Welcome Fellow Half Century Trojans to our new year!
Congratulations to our Half Century Trojans Events Chair, Larry Londre, on being awarded the “Widney Alumni House Volunteer Award”. He will be awarded at the USC Voluntary Recognition Dinner on Friday, September 6, 2024, at Town and Gown.
Many thanks to Bob Frinier for nominating Larry for the award and for Charla Tindall in her effort to honor Larry with a tribute ad in the digital program book. Thanks to our members for contributing to her effort.
Now it is time to introduce you to our fellow HCT member Larry. I just met Larry in person last night at the USC Salute to Troy. He walked over to meet me.
Larry grew up in Ladera Heights and graduated from Loyola High School. At our University of Southern California (USC), he attended and earned the Dean’s List as an undergraduate and graduate student at both Marshall and Annenberg Schools. Larry has worked in Senior Marketing, Advertising, and Business Strategies and has been an Adjunct Professor, Senior Lecturer, a Presenter, and an Advertising Consultant. Just a few of the companies that Larry has worked for are DIRECTV, City of Los Angeles, State of California, Southern California Edison, Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, and Security Pacific National Bank.
Now, let’s list Larry’s volunteer activities at USC. In 1968-1971, Larry volunteered at Carver Community Center and East Costello Park for USC, teaching fifth and six graders to read and do math. He’s been involved in numerous volunteer activities for USC including every SCervice Day since 2012; Co-Chair of USC's Class of 1971 50th Reunion Program, and Events host of several Trojan SCupper's mentoring events, celebrating USC's traditions and transformation, part of USC Alumni Association (USCAA) and Society 53.

Today was our Half Century Trojan (HCT) Board Meeting. Before the meeting started, we were able to meet some of our 2023-2024 HCT Scholars.
Even though our board meeting had started, Trojan Candy rushed to take a picture of each HCT Scholar.
It was so nice to meet seven of our Half Century Trojan Scholars.
