Following up on my [and my classmate Numismatist Don Kagin's] alma matter's win from last week, this Friday's posting celebrates the Wildcats' Semifinal's win taking them to the National Championship game to be played on Sunday against Boston College who also came from behind in their Semifinal's game to beat Syracuse 8-7.
Today's game saw an exciting comeback for Northwestern from being down 4-2 after the first quarter.
(FWIW Don's bio on the Kagins website references, "He [Don Kagin] earned the first Bachelor of Arts degree in Numismatics granted by Northwestern University, simultaneously earning another B.A. in History." Don went on to also earn the first PhD in Numismatics from another institution.)
For this Friday's posting, here are screen shots from today's Semifinal's NCAA Lacrosse game between Northwestern and Denver. In an exciting competition the Northwestern Wildcats came from being behind 4-2 after the first quarter to go on to take the win 15-7. Sunday they will play Boston College in the college finals for the National Championship. Boston College also came from behind in their 8-7 win over Syracuse.
(FWIW Northwestern is both my and fellow classmate Numismatist Don Kagin's Alma Matter. The year we graduated Don earned the first Bachelor of Arts degree in Numismatics granted by Northwestern University, simultaneously earning another B.A. in History. Don then went on to earn the first PhD in Numismatics from another institution.)
Apologies if there is a duplicate posting. The first attempted post disappeared and I reposted again with a complete new posting. Then the initial post reappeared. It appears that my attempt to then delete the original post as duplicative may not have been successful.
(Note the disappearance of the original post occurred when I attempted to edit and correct the erroneous reference to Rutgers as Boston College's opponent to Syracuse.)
This is the last flag that flew over PT76 during WWII. it was taken down and given to my dad just before the boat was burned after VJ Day Sept 1945 in Borneo. The flag 's stars were painted on because they had to replace the flag when it became weather torn ( usually every 30 days ). My dad gave me the flag in 2005 before he passed away.

Is this the first year in the past decade that Mammoth has been available for skiing on Memorial Day? I know Heavenly at Lake Tahoe has had an unusually long extended ski season this year with all the late snow.

Mammoth closed the first week of August in 2017. They normally stay open until mid June and every few years they stay open through the July 4th weekend. Mammoth is 1500 feet higher than Heavenly and more inland so the snow lasts longer allowing for a longer season. Mammoth announced that they will stay open through at least July this year.

Wildcats Win 18 to 6! Now National Champions.
A special shout out to #19 West Coaster Samantha Smith whose draw control efforts led to multiple draw wins which played a key part in attaining victory by keeping the ball in Northwestern's possession. (Samantha also has a connection to the Northland by being a family friend of a former work associate of mine here who played lacrosse in college with her father.)
Pictured below is Samantha in position for the draws as well as screen shot photos of her securing the 14th goal of the game for the Wildcats:
And some obligatory crowd screen shots of fans in the stands:

In any event here is an added Friday posted photo taken this week here in the Northland:

Is this the first year in the past decade that Mammoth has been available for skiing on Memorial Day? I know Heavenly at Lake Tahoe has had an unusually long extended ski season this year with all the late snow.
Is that. an official location?

Would definitely be interested in visiting the Kakaako Museum next time I am on Oahu. Any details on when it is open to the public?
Open only during the tourist season.
I would rather join with an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by sheep.
