Très bon bonfire

More than two dozen San Diego Eagles, family, and friends gathered on Vacation Island in Mission Bay Saturday evening to enjoy the chapter’s annual beach bonfire. By the time the photo above was taken, around sunset, some of the three dozen who had arrived earlier were on their way home.

Among those in attendance were incoming freshmen about to head to Chestnut Hill as members of the Class of 2030(!).

San Diego, of course, is one of the best places to view sunsets. Saturday night on Mission Bay did not disappoint.  

Eagles & birdies redux

L-R: Ailene Zhang ’21, Sara Hanover ’25, Bill McDonald ’68, and the coach, Fred Hanover P’25.

Two dozen San Diego Eagles, friends, and family took to the links Saturday to learn and to play.

On a very pleasant day (of which we have enjoyed so many recently), the group gathered at The Links at Lakehouse driving range in San Marcos initially for some instruction and guidance from Fred Hanover P’25, coach of the UCSD men’s golf team. Warmed up, the group then proceeded to the nearby Lakehouse executive course to play the front nine.

L-R: Ray Berube ’78 P’13 ’17, Ray Smith ’19, Justin Niles ’09, Brian Caddigan ’96, and Joe Mahler ’74 P’11.

L-R: Dennis Monahan ’82, Carole Monahan ’82, Brian Tsu ’00, and Margot Tsu.

This was the third year Coach Hanover has organized this event for the chapter and one of the features is a hole where players can “Beat the Coach” if their tee shot falls closer to the hole than his shot. It is perhaps a testament to his coaching that three players this year beat the coach’s shot.

Following golf, most of the group returned to the main course and enjoyed lunch at the Brickmans Restaurant.

Half the group at lunch.

 

Chapter ace

San Diego Eagles hit the courts Saturday morning for the chapter’s first tennis outing. Up to 20 chapter members and friends gathered at the Barnes Tennis Center on Point Loma for light instruction and then some free play.

L-R: Ravi DeSilva, Alyssa Evancevich ’19, Joe Mahler ’74 P’11, Lissa Tsu ’00, Brian Tsu ’00, Bryan Boulton, Zeynep Barakat ’99, Shereen Binno Attisha ’92, Dennis Monahan ’82, Eileen Zhang ’21, Ken Roos ’85 P’16, Ruohan Wang, Carol Monahan ’82, Shelly Shi ’21, and Samuel Zhou.
