A New Medical Student!
Classmate Mike Hogan recently dropped off his eldest daughter at Johns Hopkins University. Super-smart Hailey snagged a full-ride scholarship and is beginning her freshman year at Hopkins- one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Hailey may be following in Dr. Doug Brockmeyer's footsteps, which are big shoes to fill!
Did you know that Mike has been coaching the NHHS Varsity Baseball Team? He always had a great arm and now, with all of his minor league baseball experience, Mike has a worthwhile mission- to coach the Tars to the CIF championships! Mike and his family downsized in 2009, when they purchased a lovely little home on Balboa Island. Mike has enjoyed returning to his roots (he grew up on the Balboa Penninsula and attended Newport Elementary four decades ago). If you want a little local adventure, try Kayaking the bay with Mike!
The OCC baseball team won the State of California 2009 Championship! Classmate Jeff Piaskowski (right) and son Jeff CHIP Piaskowski (center) are both rightfully proud OCC Coaches! They "got the BIG FAT RING!" Congratulations Piaskowskis and OCC team members!!!
