Karen at Laker Game!

Karen at the Los Angeles Laker Games in the Media Center

Karen’s Sports P.R. Class has done some very cool things… one was attending the Los Angeles Lakers Game beating the Seattle Super Sonics!

Here is Karen at the media Press Center… looking very official.

What a great experience.

a “GATOR” at TENNESSEE??

Karen becomes a 'Volunteer'!My daughter competed for the University of Florida earning a Bachelors in Public relations, before (happily for me) she finished her last year of eligibility as a graduate student at the University of Southern California as a Trojan… however, it seems very interesting to me that she is now going to one of Florida’s arch rivals as a doctoral student in Communications. Karen has good memories of Tennessee as this was the place where she won her first SEC Championship.

In business, we used to call this varied experience ‘cross polination’… learning skills from different businesses and industries and applying them to your world. A friend once told Karen in Tennessee Spiritme… ‘what might seem trite and cliché’ in one industry when applied to another may be considered innovative!’ He was right. So, I can really see the beauty in attending a variety of universities and communities, learning from each and building a wealth of positive experience.

Karen has a little more time at ‘SC before she finally completes her two year degree and receives her masters later this summer… that is, after her Public Relations internship in South Africa for a couple of months.

What do I personally remember about Tennessee? Well, they beat us in 1974 for the NCAA Championship… I was captain of the other guys. My experience with their athletes was a good one and we traded school t-shirts… I think you’ll be alright. 

Although I know that Karen will love Tennessee, and she has said nothing but great things about them… please forgive me, Karen… but you will always be a Trojan to me! 

Fight on!

Dad’s Got Web Page!

with a little help from my family, I now have a new web page... finally!

Well, with a little help from my family… actually a lot of help… I finally have a new web page up for ol dad! I was starting to feel a little ‘dated’… and as my daughters say,”hobo.”

Karla took the picture of Laura and me and the the great background shot of the Monterey Bay aquarium… and since I do enjoy my family’s various interests and links, I added a few of theirs. Now, if only they would wear the web cam I gave them! Ha!
