In Memoriam - Marilyn Inez (Dickman) Short, 1938-1998 (see biography with her Senior Photo)

(June 1999) The Monterey Peninsula Herald reports that Peter Ueberroth and a group of investors have negotiated a deal to purchase the Pebble Beach golf resort. Peter's biography also includes a stint as head of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee in 1984, Time Magazine Man of the Year(1984), and major league baseball's commissioner from 1984 to 1988. Peter was a product of Washington Elementary School and attended Burlingame High School for about two years before he moved. In his book "Made In America", the story of his Los Angeles Oympic Organizing Committee experience, Peter included a photo of his cub scout days. The picture was taken by Jim Gettins' mother at Grey Whipple's house. ( I do not believe I have violated any copyright since the picture was scanned from my own original copy.)

Several biographical sketches of Peter Ueberroth's life can be read by visiting the Constituents page on this website.

He attended BHS his freshman and sophomore years and then his family moved to the east coast. He participated in the NROTC program at the University of North Carolina and became a Navy pilot. On leaving the service he joined American Airlines and progressed to flight captain. George is married to Hungarian baroness Zsuzsi von Hadnagy of Budapest and New Orleans.

On the way home she met Sue Stoll Egan in New York to visit theater and art exhibits.
