Sandwich Alum

Jeff Goodall is a sandwich alum. His parents are SDSU grads and his son is a student. Jeff attended Point Loma Nazarene, but since he has attended hundreds of Aztec Basketball games he is entitled to some alumni status.

One thing that always struck me about Jeff was that his courage quotient was off the charts. I will never forget hearing, about ten years ago, that Jeff was about to undergo some life-threatening surgery in order to provide some critical body part for his son’s friend.

So, knowing where he lives in the winery area of north Poway, I asked him recently how he had fared during the fire season. I guess I wasn’t too surprised to hear he’d fought the fire all week. I think you will find the following photo-journalistic account of his and his neighborhood’s saga (Including Derek Cohen, SDSU ’85 and his son Zack) as fascinating as I did:
