Sandie Dewane reported that Gary Saks recovering nicely from hip surgery and present at the meeting. No other reports.
Bob Vaughn, in his usual great style, collected a good amount of “Happy Bucks” from quite a few members contributing to our coffers. He does very well separating members from their $$$.
Speaker for the day was Lee “Hacksaw” Hamilton popular radio sports celebrity over the years in San Diego going way back to the 90’s as a broadcaster for Charger and San Diego State games. Through the years he has shown great knowledge and insights into how teams improve, where they are weak and strong. He was, as usual very entertaining encouraging members to ask questions about any sport be it football, basketball or hockey, college or professional teams. He recites team history easily and encourages discussion, his “behind the scenes” knowledge is invaluable and entertaining. A great presentation and one that was educational and informative. His closing question and answer period was lively and enjoyed by all.
