Colleagues,

I hope all is well in your worlds.  I am out of the office for the next week but will have my ears on so feel free to reach out. Go catch a Padre game this year, do it for Number 19.  Do you remember the ‘84 season comeback and our “Cub Busters” T-shirts?  His 1,000…2,000…3,000 hits?  His attitude and professionalism on and off the field are everything I love about sport.  He is a true gem and San Diego always has Mr. Padre to cherish.  You will be missed Tony.

 Rails to Trails

Do you remember your days of riding the rails?  When things were E.P.I.C. in California and Guthrie was thinking about the Garden of Eden?  Well, Cabrillo is taking the lead to head up the Pacific Surfliner Rails to Trails program.  This means we jump on trains and interpret southern California history.  Sound interesting?  We are looking for a couple of volunteers that might want to help with this program.  We need a longer term commitment from you and participation in a variety of training is required.  If you can commit to this and are interested please send me an email with “Don’t throw Mama” in the subject line.
