The San Diego Chapter, our most active group, held a house tour and dinner on April 17 at a home designed in the 1950s by California architect Cliff May. He was the creator of the historically significant "California Ranch House" style of architecture. Signe Beck, one of our San Diego go-getters, researched to find an historical architect who would speak about Cliff May. Through many phone calls she found Redlands resident David Bricker who did his master's thesis on Cliff May. Signe asked if he would come to San Diego to speak and he was delighted. Only upon final confirmation of when and where the function was to take place did he learn that the group was from WWU. David Bricker is a 1976 Western grad!

The Old Main Society recognizes those alumni and friends who have made arrangements with Western to provide gifts through their estate plans or other planned giving options. Old Main Society membership begins once documentation has been completed naming Western as a beneficiary through a bequest, trust, annuity or life insurance program.
