Attn: CSUN Swim Team Alumns; Re: Coach Pete Accardy, R.I.P. "Celebration of Life", Sat., Nov. 2, 2013

At the request of LACo OL, Lisa Dial Timmerman, please be advised as follows:

Hello all CSUN swimmers, water polo players, alumni and others who swam, played water polo and knew Pete Accardy. I have been in contact with Tom Ford out at CSUN in the athletic department. We are going to be having a celebration for Pete on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013. It will be held poolside from 1pm till 3pm at CSUN. At this time we have a list of emails and contact information from the last gathering in Del Mar for Pete's birthday. So on that note there might have been some changes to many contacts. If you are interested in attending we are gathering new and updated information to get the details out to everyone. If you could email me with your name and up-to-date information, especially your email we can put a list together. My email address is: mlhca1@aol.com. In the subject line could you put: CSUN - PETE ACCARDY. This will make it stand out for me to see. I will then forward these to Tom Ford who will be sending out the final details to all. I hope a lot of you can attend this celebration. Thanks, Michele Hampton

The 2013 International Coastal Cleanup Day Dory Race...


Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013, just north of the Santa Monica Pier and adjacent to Lifeguard Tower #15, a couple of 3 lap dory races were organized as part of the festivities in connection with this year's International Coastal Cleanup Day. We watched the first race which started just after 12:30 pm.

We hope you enjoy the photos...


The dory staging area pre-race...


Dory teams begin their warm ups...
























lucky shot below... we captured this pigeon in flight on a strafing mission with Race Director, Scott Hubbell's, 4WD pick up, its target!...

The Start!...




and they're off...





















and it's neck and neck near the finish line...




And across the finish line in First Place is LACo OLS, Dave Cartlidge, in the yellow jersey, who rowed with LACo Capt. Tom Seth... who last month were crowned the National Dory Champions at the 2013 USLA National Lifeguard Championships in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

In Second Place, the DeBoer brothers...


In Third Place, OL Mike O'Donnell (seated below) and his dory partner, OL, Ben Gottlieb, leaping out of the boat for the run up the beach...

















And another tradition lives on too...

10-4
