Clarification: In the November issue of the Alcala View, it was noted that the SEA was "exploring the possibilities ofestablishing a scholarship for a child of a USD staff employee." This scholar- ship would be for a college-age child to attend USD, not for a pre-school age child to atterui the Manchester Family Child Development Center.

Accomplishments during Goldman's tenure include: • Helping keep parking fees at $25 for employees • Initiation of tuition remission talks for staff employees • Fund-raising 60/40 employee drawings that helped earn the SEA some $434 Draper leaves praising USD By Jacqueline Genovese When Dusty Draper joined the Navy at the tender age of 16, his mother told him, "you won't last three months with that temper of yours." But it was at the Naval Training Center here in San Diego, says Draper, that he learned to control his temper and not talk back to his

"I learned that lesson real quick," Draper says with a smile. The lesson stuck, and Draper went on to enjoy 22 "wonderful" years in the Navy, before retiring and coming to Alcala Park in 1975. During his stint, Draper lived in Japan for five years and traveled all over the world. His two favorite spots were Singapore ("It's so clean") and Perth, Australia, ("H's so big.") But Draper says, he's traveled enough. That's why when he retired in November after 15 years in

Housekeeping Services, his plans do not include travel. · If it were up to him, Draper says, he wouldn't even be retiring. But years of walking on the steel of aircraft carriers in the Navy has taken its toll on his legs, and he was forced to retire earlier than planned. "I am going to miss each and every person here," Draper says, a tear shin- ing in his eye. "The people here, from the president on down, are so friendly, they are like a family." That is especially true for Draper, who has worked with two of his three sons in General Services for the past 10 years. Draper says he will especially miss his early morning chats with Tom Burke, dean of students, and the kind- ness of his boss, Bill McGibney, who Draper says always gives 100 percent to his employees. And it was obvious at the recent retirement party held for Draper and fel- low leadperson Gus Barradas (see story on page 2), that Draper's fellow employees will miss him, too. "I miss seeing you every morning when I drive into campus," Margaret Ames from admissions told Draper. And Don Gennero from the biology department professed that things "were just not the same without Dusty around." Looking around at his friends from all over campus, Draper says quietly, "I have enjoyed each and every minute here."
