From Ken Krueger- Murray Rose funeral and video

I just received this from Jodi. If you have not read and seen the tributes to Murray, you will appreciate them. He was a fine man, great swimmer and Trojan.

 

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

 

Please pass this on to others who might be interested.

Be well,

Ken

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.

USC Water Polo Coach Jovan Vavic

Open up the link below to view the article on SC's very successful water polo coach.  About 3/4 through the article, Sandy Gilchrist's (Team Captain- 1967) daughter Kaleigh is mentioned.

At the last Trojan Swimmers lunch at Gulliver's in January, Sandy described his daughter's experience playing water polo under coach Jovan who's coaching style is detailed in the article.

I have been asked if the author, David Wharton, is a former USC swimmer.  Any comments? 

This story was sent to you by: Chuck --------------------

USC's Jovan Vavic makes a big splash in water polo --------------------

Coach uses a strong personality to impress his style on men's and women's teams, which have won a combined 10 NCAA titles in the last 14 years.

By David Wharton February 16 2012, 5:00 PM PST Even from a distance, the man catches your attention.

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!

Best regards-

Sad note from Paul Davidson

Dear Friends,
 
It is with great sadness that I write this email.  Late Saturday night, Bill Furniss passed away with his loving family at his side.  He succumbed to complications due to pneumonia.  

He was comfortable and peaceful in his final hours.  He has left a great legacy behind and will be missed by all who knew him.  Bill was less than one week short of his 92nd birthday.
 
If you are interested, his funeral will be held this Saturday, Feb. 11th, at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church.  A reception will follow at the family house in North Tustin.  Below are the addresses.

Trinity Presbyterian Church
