Courtney and JT visit campus



I am happy to see more alums coming back for campus visits. Courtney Frisbie '83 and JT Horenstein '89 recently returned for visits.

Courtney's jaw dropped when we walked into the "new" Gryphon Center and, along with Dave Robertson, her coach, found her X-Country trophy and winning record (5.31 second mile while winning NCS Championships) that stood for 20 plus years. Oh yeah, she was a fast and furious runner who has yet to be beaten in our book! Nice work, Courtney, Crystal Springs and Uplands School Athlete of the year 1983.

I learned that JT danced professionally with Maggie in performances before he joined the CSUS class of '89. JT returned to offer an intensive two-day dance and choreography technique class for some of Maggie's advanced dancers.

In addition, he generously offered Maggie's dancers a scholarship to his dance studio in Los Angles; Edge Performing Arts Center. http://www.edgepac.com/the.center.htm. He and Maggie were watching for the dancer with the most desire to improve, and that lucky young dancer will enjoy and certainly benefit from JT's gift. Thanks, JT and welcome back.
