UCLA 10 year MBA Reunion
Posted in Friends, School on August 7, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Last weekend I had my UCLA MBA reunion with my fellow study group. Several of them flew in from all corners of the world.
On Saturday, we went on a cruise to Catalina aboard the USS Lane Victory. This is an old WWII era cargo ship that has been restored and sails just three times a year.
Below from the right are Doc, Dave and Witold.
Below are the 50mm guns used to protect the ship.
The tour included an airplane simulated battle.
Here is one of the fire boats putting on a show.
Here is our whole group back at the San Pedro docks.
On Sunday, we went to brunch in Laguna beach. Two of the other guys joined us… Paul on the right in aqua and Steve with the hat.
We hit the beach for a while and then hit the Festival of Arts and the Pageant of the Masters.
Busy weekend and great to see everyone.

Red Day

Annika had Red Day in school today. Not sure what the significance of it was but I think it had to do with being “drug free”.
I looked on line and saw a few links to the Heart Association promoting women’s heart disease prevention programs. I also say several links to Red Ribbon Week which promotes “drug free” in schools. I think it was the latter this week in our school.

Well, we’re back home and adjusting to the time zone shift.
The kids all of a sudden have picked up a voracious reading habit. Here is the three of them hanging out on the sofa in the evening reading. No coaxing or urging required – just genuine interest. It warms my heart!
