The bets are in,
The book is closed,
The race is done,
You bet to win and
You have won

I would be willing to bet that Father and Bruce had a wonderful reunion, a couple of glasses of wine, and the linen napkins & rubber bands are once again on their heads…King Farouk and his son….once again. We have loved you, Brutus!

Some thoughts
Education law class at USC- informative and entertaining
Collective bargaining class at USC- inspirational and vital to my career
Administrative advice whenever I needed it- and that was often in the 70s and 80s. Personal notes or calls upon promotions and ones of concern when in the news
Bruce was like the Lion King Mufasa. He could be counted upon.

Dear Janet,
Ken and I were so sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. It was our fortune to have met the two of you these past few years. Our times together are permanently etched in our memories. Knowing both of you has enriched our lives. You are both good people! Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this very difficult time.
Fondly,
Ken and Cathy Kalcevich
