FRIEND IN THE NEWS

While in San Diego last week...







...I caught up over lunch with John Burnham and John Engle, old friends from the San Diego America's Cup days. JB owns and operates one of the leading "UPS Store" franchises in the USA. "Johnny Jingle" Engle has been named as one of the "50 People to Watch in 2005" by San Diego Magazine for his work at Scripps Health Foundation. An excerpt from the SD Mag Article:



"John Bowers & John Engle -- Between them, they’ve raised a ton of money for Scripps Health Foundation, which solicits contributions for Scripps Health, San Diego’s premier nonprofit healthcare delivery network. Bowers, considered the dean of local fund-raisers, returned to Scripps to serve as interim director of the foundation last year, while also serving as executive director of the San Diego Public Library Foundation. Engle now oversees Scripps Health Foundation in his new role as chief development officer and senior vice president; he has been with Scripps for 15 years. Both men have one thing in common: They won’t take no for an answer."



Nice!
