Being There
Favorite places as you recall them
When Ramon Ryan Tolentino remembers his years at San Diego State University, he recalls proposing marriage in the gardens of Scripps Cottage. Barbara Huntington's memories include watching a hawk raise her young in the towering eucalyptus outside Hardy Tower. For most Aztecs, recollections of their college years conjure up images of certain places on campus. While the mind's eye watches, a sound track replays youthful voices, chiming bells and palm fronds rustling in the breeze.
We asked SDSU alumni to tell us about their favorite places on Montezuma Mesa. Their choices and the associated memories evoke certain moments in time that will resonate with many Aztecs. If there is a common memory among SDSU alumni, it must be the delight of spending long, sunny days on a truly beautiful campus.
