LA Times readers: Nini's uncle featured in Sports section!

[Zomby Woof]

In today's Sunday LA Times, Nini's uncle is featured on a Page 1 article in their sports section!

He was a star player on the USC basketball team from 1939-1942, when they were a dominant team, beating UCLA 42 games in a row.

After his years at USC, he joined the Marine Corps and served our nation honorably in World War II. He then went on to be a local and well-regarded math teacher.

And I am proud to say, he is a lifelong staunch Democrat! :patriot:

It's a great artcle, with 3 different photos of him now, and 1 from his basketball days. :D

1. Must be this story:

Too bad none of the photos in the online edition, but a good story nevertheless.

Thanks for the tip.

I couldn't access it earlier, because I couldn't remember my account info, then we headed out the door to dinner... thanks for providing the link!

We're bummed no pics appear in the online edition, but we made sure to get several print copies today.
