At Petco

Posted on by

More than 30 San Diego Eagles, friends, and family members gathered yesterday at Petco Park for the Red Sox-Padres game. Seats were located on “The Rail,” within the iconic Western Metal Supply Company building. 

There were Padres fans among the group, and they enjoyed the 3-1 win for the home team. BoSox had taken the first two games of the series.

Here’s the view.

Here’s also some video (0:54) of the pre-game performance by the Leap Frogs, the U.S. Navy Parachute Team, which dropped by from nearby Coronado.

The University sponsored a reception for local alumni on February 12 at the home of Patricia and Marc Brutten P’16, P’18, members of the BC Board of Regents. Special guest was James Husson, senior vice president for University advancement (who took the photo).

‘Fly like an Eagle’

Actually, San Diego Eagles were slightly grounded Saturday by a SoCal “winter storm,” i.e., light occasional rain, when local alumni veterans and guests toured the Flying Leathernecks Aviation Museum adjacent to MCAS Miramar.

Brigadier General Michael Aguilar, USMC (Retired), vice chairman of the board at the museum, greeted the BC San Diego group and provided information about the background of the museum and the foundation that supports it, as well as the exhibits inside. He then led the convocation through the static displays of more than 40 aircraft — both helicopters and planes — flown by Marines through the decades, as well as a couple examples of opponent aircraft.

Our own Commander Lou Scanlon, USN (Retired), ’67, provided a personal introduction to the F-4, the aircraft he flew in the Vietnam War.

Following the museum tour, two dozen or so gathered in a private area at Ballast Point Miramar for lunch, refreshments, networking, and a presentation by Colonel Dan Arkins, USA (Retired), ’81, co-chairman of BC’s Veteran Alumni Network. Also in attendance was Jean Chisser, MA’91, BC associate director, Alumni Special Services, and liaison with the BC Veteran Alumni Network.

We were happy to see a wide range of ages present, as well as alumni from Orange County. The Chapter will look to develop, with alumni veterans and those serving on active duty in this area, activities, events, and services of interest. We welcome ideas from veterans, active service members, and those who are neither.
