Today I attended one of the many New Bruin Send-Offs that are being
held across the country.
This one was in Centennial, Colorado.
The hostess and host have hosted these events in the past.
(Lobster tail and Courvoisier.)
Five minutes after I arrived a tall drink of water named "Patty" asked me
if I was LaFong. Complete stranger. How she knew is something I'm
looking into since this is the only place I use that alias. My real name
is Dorothy Kilgallen.
Patty had a binder with her that belongs to her husband David. In it were
hundreds of UCLA football and basketball game tickets.
Great turnout. Fourteen future Bruins. In 2024, the school admitted 9%
of applicants.
