This picture brought tears to my eyes...I will never forget the day that Tod held Eric for the first time seventeen years ago. He was three.

Best friends...even today.

Heaven on earth...to the pfaff want-a-bes.

Paul and Eric

like father, like son

The group of older men (aka US pfaffs) in the above pictures are the most loyal WANT-A-BE s I have ever met. Their blood runs blue and yellow, and, ironically, they are all bear-like... some teddy, some grizzly. If the clock could be wound back, ALL would, entrance willing, attend UCLA. You see, it all began in the mid to late 50's when Dad attended, rode CREW for, and graduated from UCLA. Little did he know, that years later his own children, none of which carried on the Bruin attendance tradition, would be celebrating, supporting, watching, gathering, and attending as many UCLA events as time and money will allow. This passion and love has been passed down to the wives, children, and even the families of the THEMS. Fifteen years ago they began a tradition of attending one UCLA football game together. Then children were born, and rules had to be made... (grizzly bears). It was decided that children must be 16 years old to attend this annual event. And, considering the activities involved, it's probably a good thing. Don't want to frighten those precious Children of God too early.

This year marked the

third trip to the Rose Bowl,

second year to see a UCLA vs. usc game, and the

first year for Eric and Tod attending together.
