Since that exciting and adrenaline- pumping initial game, Jerry quickly got hooked and has been an avid fan of the game since. In 1967 he bought season tickets to all of the New York Rangers home games, and he even went to a few road games with friends. Jerry reports, “For four to five years, we never missed a home game; this was our life.” In 1972 his beloved Rangers lost in the Stanley Cup Finals to the Boston Bruins in a sixth game thriller which he attended. In 1985 Jerry became a season ticket holder and New Jersey Devils fan, and in 1995 they won the finals against the Detroit Red Wings. Unfortunately, the number one hockey fan was off attending a wedding and missed that final game. At least he got to see his Jerry with NHL curator Phil Pritchard, Devils win the finals in 2003 against the Anaheim Ducks, who is the famous keeper of the Stanley Cup. attending six of the seven games. But Jerry’s claim to fame has got to be his ever-loving passion, desire, and loyalty in attending nearly every National Hockey League (NHL) Draft since going to Boston in 1999. He has been to:

Then, in 1999, he attended his first “live” draft but had very bad seats and was frustrated as he was new to this event. The good seats just weren’t available, Bill Daly, NHL Deputy Commissioner and Jerry even purchasing them well in advance. But, in 2001 on At many of the home games, Bill Daly, the NHL a flight to Florida, Jerry’s seatmate was none other Deputy Commissioner, sat next to Jerry and, of course, than Frank Brown, the then-Director of NHL Media they chatted often.

Commissioner. Jerry has also seen many VIPs of the hockey world and has had no problem with just going up to them and “chatting.” Jerry’s annual trek to the NHL draft venue entails purchasing airfare, making hotel reservations, attending the two-day Friday and Saturday draft at the local NHL arena, playing a little golf, enjoying fine dining, and just meeting more and more fans of hockey who are “just like him.”
Tyler Seguin, a future star with the Dallas Stars, at the 2010 Los Angeles Draft with Jerry Boy, was Jerry in hockey heaven, or what?

Log on to www.scshca.com October 2019 17 Our Desert Walkabout STORY AND PHOTOS BY BETH BOLDUC
When we moved to SCSH nine years ago, we had no idea there could be such terrific hiking in a desert. We mistakenly assumed the temperatures would make hiking too hot. Boy, were we wrong! Within a few months we had joined two local Coachella Valley groups. Then the SCSH Fitness Center offered hiking. When that was disbanded in 2014, we were lucky enough to join the newly formed SCSH Over the Hill Hiking Club. Be advised: our SCSH club offers a wide variety of hikes throughout the Coachella Valley ranging from easy to strenuous from October through March. All levels are welcome. Check out their website for more detailed information and a schedule of hikes for this fall and beyond: scshca.com/hiking. Best of all, there are no annual club dues! When you’re ready, there are five enthusiastic hike leaders who guide the groups, often explaining local geological features as well as fun facts about unique desert plants and wildlife. We’d like you to meet each to hear why they became a guide.
Ella Haylock has been hiking for 38 years. She says she discovered her “love” of hiking when her then boyfriend introduced her to it. Ella likes to challenge SCSH hikers to try harder and has noticed they feel proud when they see what they have accomplished. Murray Peak, a strenuous hike, is one of Ella’s favorites because of the breathtaking valley views. While hiking with her husband, Del, in the high Tatra Mountains in Poland, they encountered a soldier guarding the very rugged border. While the views were spectacular and the guard was very friendly, she remembers they questioned why anyone would even try to smuggle something across such a treacherous route?
John Phelps has been hiking seriously since 2005 when he retired the first time and then turned around and became a State Park Ranger in South Carolina. His love for nature has driven him to explore the Coachella Valley “from the desert floor to the snowcapped mountains.” John is also a guide for Desert Adventure Red Jeep Tours and enjoys sharing what he has learned about not only the Cahuilla Indians and their history in our valley but also information about plants and wildlife native to our desert environment. Although he says it’s hard to choose, the Art Smith Trail is the most special to him because of the varied plant life and natural landscaping.
Sam Seebart has been an earnest hiker for 15 years even though he hiked while hunting, fishing, and camping since he was a teen. Retiring from a sedentary job, he decided hiking would be a good way to improve his physical conditioning. Like most guides, Sam enjoys meeting new people and introducing them to the “beauty of the desert” and its diverse environments. He especially loves the San Jacinto mountain area because the elevation gain offers an interesting look at the ecosystem as it changes from desert to mountain terrain marked by a variety of vegetation, flowers, shrubs, and trees. Sam has made it to the top of Mt. San Jacinto twice. But he’s most proud that he has gotten his granddaughters interested in hiking, fishing, and camping.

There was not a dry eye in the Palos Verde restaurant when she sang “Wind Beneath My Wings” for her husband’s 50th birthday celebration. Not long after, she met an Italian coach from Milan who took her on as a student and trained her in Italian songs. This training prepared her for her journey through Italy with her husband, Al, the love of her life. Al owned a cosmetic manufacturing company and traveled through Italy to sell his products. It was here where Marie became an opera singer at the industry trade
Accordion players at 12 years – Marie is on the far right.
Although Marie’s Mother had a beautiful voice, she never encouraged Marie to sing until Marie was in the eighth grade and wanted to enter a talent show. So her mother taught her an Italian song, “Santa Lucia.” This was the first time her Dad had heard her sing, and he was totally surprised at her talent. After entering high school, she gave up the accordion and concentrated on voice. Participating in the concert choir, in a hootenanny, and often being the soloist at family weddings prepared Marie for a lifetime of vocal performances. At 19, Marie married and sailed with her husband from Annapolis to Florida, entertaining at yacht clubs as they cruised south. The marriage was not successful. Having graduated from beauty school at the age of 16, she was capable of supporting herself so, no matter what the Marie performing in Performing Arts 2018 circumstance, Marie continued to grow in her music.

Getting profanity tattooed on their foreheads or fingers limited their employment opportunities, as you can imagine. Add in a child or two and a drug addiction, and you can see how hard it is for these people to re-enter normal society, and how exceptional the people are who manage it.
Homegirl Mexican breakfast
I arrived early and had a delicious, gigantic Mexican breakfast at the Homegirl Cafe. Restaurant work is always in demand, and this is a great place to train people. In addition to this restaurant, Homeboy runs one at LA City Hall and at the American Airlines terminal at LAX. Because of the difficulty ex-gang members have seeking regular employment, Homeboy has started many of its own businesses. In addition to the restaurants, Homeboy Bakeries sell Mexican foods nationwide through the Ralphs grocery chain, and they have a major silk screening and embroidery business. They also sell lots of Guide Homeboy Gus clothing and are in farmers markets.
