Chuck and Jack,

Hi there! I seem to be enjoying a rare quiet evening here at home with free time on my hands. I wanted to take advantage of it while I can and acknowledge what a great job both of you did in arranging for our last TS luncheon at Gullivers. I thought it made for an ideal venue for our group and I'm really looking forward to meeting there again. It was great to have a private room all to ourselves and the U-shaped table configuration seemed to work well.

I also wanted to share the excitement of watching our Trojan swimmers take on #4 ranked Stanford at the Trojan pool this past Saturday. We are a genuine powerhouse again! Morozov broke the pool record in the 50 free with a 19.49 in the 50 on Friday and 43.00 in the 100 free on Saturday. He's done a 19.06 and a 41.88 and is loaded for bear. Not a Cal Bear, either....



You could sure feel the energy on the deck as well as in the stands. I saw former great Lenny Krazelberg cheering from the crowded stands as well as Fred Shaw and John Porter on deck as well. Peter and Ingrid were both there, too. Coach Salo has positioned both the men's and women's team to be national title contenders. I would encourage all of our O.C. Trojan alums who are able to attend the remaining dual meet with Utah on Saturday the 18th or the Pac10 championships at East Los Angeles College from 2/29 thru 3/3. With a little extra alumni support, maybe we can inflict some pain on Stanford and Cal and return the favor!
