Califorttia Letter Dear Alums, Summer was hot, hot, hot... In more ways than one! A June lunch in the desert, fum screenings at the Egyptian Theatre and a picnic were among the notable summer events that kept Colum Alums hopping on the West Coast. The patio lunch in La Qyinta, CA, (see pies -left) graciously hosted by Dr. Jolm Duff and Estelle Shanley, drew more than 80 alums. From first-time West Coasters to the long-time, Hollywood savvy among us, this party rocked. Amid a fme buffet and excellent libations, we networked until sunset. Despite 110-degree heat, alums made the 127-rnile journey from LA and unanimously agreed that it was well worth the trip. It was great to see faculty, a mix of recent alumni just getting started in the industry and Columbia's hard-working professionals and rising stars getting to know each other. Our fum screenings at the Egyptian Theater continue with recent showings by our own Charles Carner (Vanishing Point), Eric Koyanagi (Hundred Percent), Rick Wilkinson, (A Short Wait Between Trains) and Dan Moran (Andy s Got a Gitjfriend). In late summer we all got together for an alumni picnic at Will Rogers State Park. A good turnout, an exciting event. Like any organization, there's strength in numbers.
