New Photo for the VDM Notes Scrapbook

Mr. Craig Horning, author of the new book celebrating the 100 year history of Vista Del Mar has collected and processed many archival photos of life at Vista over the years. This pic was taken
of the original cottages as they looked the day Vista opened.

DR. MILTON DAVIS, SCHOLAR, ATHLETE, TEACHER AND MENTOR

You made us all feel special. You will be missed for a long time.

The celebration of Milt last Sunday was an eloquent,
fitting and moving event. Milt continues to bring out the best in us. Miguel and Joel spoke for all of us.

Pics of the bill are at:

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE ANYWAY??

Hi All,

These pics and many more are in boxes, file cabinets and
folders waiting to be indexed and catalogued at Vista.

You can help by spending a couple of hours going through them, identifying the people and adding your remembrances and stories. This is a great opportunity
to be heard and add your place in our unique history.

Please add your name to this project. We can do it all at once or as our schedules allow. Hope to hear from all of
you!

Mike S -

Great to hear from you guys today - the energy is rising - Mike S. even has a Site Plan of Old Vista showing cottages, the field, the Lodge and all! - so far Cottage 33 still Rules !!

but PLEASE don't send me stuff! Especially attachments, photos and media. I can't keep it or store it on my servers. In some cases, there are so many weird filetypes out there, I can't even open it.

I want to see it - and so do we all - but please don't send it - post it.

For now, until we get organized, tell the bLog what you've got and hold it, if you can, store your pix online to our bLog with Picasa, or use the free Kodak Media Catalogue or other and post the URL here on our bLog.

That way we can all see it - not just me.

We need to start using the bLog to see how/if everyone handles it.
Also, I'm hoping to see if we can set up a conversational network for all of us,
rather than just a dialogue with me.

Let me know what you all think.
