Jodi and Trevor look great. He has a great legacy in them.

Please pass this on to others who might be interested.

April 19th Trojan Swimmers Lunch

Message and report from Ken Krueger

Attending the El Cholo's lunch were: Bela Lugosi, Jr.; Ron Orr, Paul Davidson, Dick McDermott, Russ Kidder, Girl swimmer, Lonna Stacey(sp?) from NCAA winners '96-7 year, her husband, a lawyer from Bela's firm; Fred Tissue, Steve Saylor, and Ken Krueger. Great time was had by all. Fitting remembrances of our departed friend Murray Rose were shared by some. I loved having our second girl swimmer attend. We must encourage more. They could even start their own alumni lunches.

Ron Orr gave me some photos of the new Swim Complex to share that I will bring to the next lunch in Irvine May 9.

Please send out a notice on the blog of the next USC functions:

Friday, Aug. 31 for the Awards Banquet and Sat., Sept 1 for the Alumni Relays and USC vs. Hawaii football game. Hope that you will all mark this on your calendars now and start making your plans. It is early in the season and it is Labor Day weekend but there are limited “home” games and those later season home games are being used for recruiting weekends.

Fight on,

Ken

Chuck,
Coach Salo and I spoke this morning. Wed, May 9, at Gulliver’s would work great for him, along with April 19, at El Cholo.
He would be happy to attend both dates, if you think the alums would enjoy it.
Let us know!

Chuck,

I will attend both of them. The next USC Alumni Swimmers' Lunches (always start at 11:30):

April 19 Thursday at El Cholo's Downtown.

May 9 probably at Gullivers in Irvine across from John Wayne Airport. Dave Salo will be there!

On both of these please RSVP Chuck Milam.

I will be at the Swim with Mike Saturday 10-1.

Every year since its inception in 1981, I have supported a scholarship fund for former athletes who are now paralyzed or amputees, so they may continue their education at a university in the USA. It prepares them to become self-sufficient, returns their optimism, etc. I will swim a mile on one day before April 14, 2012 the day of the "Swim with Mike" at USC (there are others at many universities). All the proceeds go to an endowed scholarship fund. Please be generous, but any amount is appreciated.

You may donate directly on-line at

They make it so much easier now.
May God bless you for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Ken Krueger
