Jack Ford
2016-03-03 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
What was it like to live in the White House?
Even though Jack Ford grew up in Washington DC and had been around politics all his life, he never imagined one day he’d be living in the White House; but that’s what happened and it happened fast. One day Jack is working as a back-country Ranger in Yellowstone Park and the next he’s sitting in the East Room as his father, Gerald Ford, is being sworn in as the 38th President. From there it only gets crazier: intense media scrutiny for his controversial comments, meetings with world leaders, and socializing with the likes of George Harrison, Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger and Chris Evert.
Please contact the office no later than Monday, February 29 if you are bringing a guest to this program.

Over the last 25 years, all local children needing heart transplantation were referred to institutions outside of San Diego. This required families to temporarily move out of San Diego, leading to disruption of lives and separation of the child from home, friends and community for months to years. This all changed on January 14, 2015 when Rady Children’s Hospital performed its first heart transplantation.
Guest speakers Dr. Donald Kearns, President and CEO of Rady Children’s Hospital, and Dr. Rakesh Singh, Transplant Cardiologist and Medical Director, will talk about this historic milestone for the hospital and our community.

Gary McCord
2016-01-28 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Gary McCord, famous sports analyst for CBS Sports’ golf telecasts, will talk about his life on the PGA Tour as a player and as a CBS golf television commentator.
“Life is full of ups and downs, good and bad, but it wouldn’t be fun any other way.” Living his life by this optimistic philosophy, Gary McCord persisted through years of mediocrity before finding great success in many aspects of the world of golf. An outstanding player, announcer, instructor, author, speaker, and even actor, Gary McCord has become a golf celebrity.
Gary is well known for enduring 23 years and 422 tournaments on the PGA Tour without nabbing a single victory. A man of good humor, he boasted a “NO WINS” license plate for years to poke fun at his own less-than-glamorous career as a professional golfer.
He joined CBS Sports in 1986, and he quickly became known for his outspoken (and sometimes controversial) golf commentary.
Gary is the author of the best-seller “Golf for Dummies” and his autobiography “Just a Range Ball in a Box of Titleists.” He also appeared as himself in the Kevin Costner movie Tin Cup.
