Jim Plunkett passes the ball to his daughter
Meghan Plunkett plays key role in marketing tailgate party
condiments
by Megan Rawlins

Children grow up, go to college, get jobs and move away.
Former Raider and Stanford star quarterback Jim Plunkett of Atherton wasn’t too
pleased with that last one.
In the spring, his daughter, Meghan Plunkett, graduated with
a business and marketing degree from
So when his friend Steve Ferrari of Woodside came up with
the idea of creating a line of tailgate-party condiments that would bear Jim
Plunkett’s name, Mr. Plunkett agreed, acknowledging that his decision was
something of a ploy to lure his daughter back to
Back she came, and according to Mr. Plunkett, she’s been
remarkably successful.
“It is amazing to see my daughter up there giving
presentations and doing such a great job,” says the man who led the Raiders to
two Super Bowl championships in his 15-year professional career. “Meghan
basically runs the business; it is such a cool feeling.”
Ms. Plunkett is in charge of distribution of the products, and
according to Mr. Ferrari, Mr. Plunkett’s business partner, she will soon be
appointed vice president of the company, Ferrari Italia Food Products Inc.
“She began helping us negotiate the Raley’s contract and
7-Eleven contract,” says Mr. Ferrari. “She helped
complete the mountain of necessary paper work to get into Raley’s 130-plus
stores.”
Currently, she is working on a deal to distribute the
products in Safeway stores.

What or who encouraged you to choose teaching as a career?
The autonomy teachers have in their classrooms right from day one.
What have been your most satisfying moments in the
classroom? Most students are respectful of the school setting. However, when
you have a student who is not and you can get that student on your side and
experience a change in behavior, that is when I most
feel like I am making a difference.
What are you most looking forward to this school year? Every

What do you enjoy most about teaching? Watching students

world around them during the course of the year, and having them enjoy
themselves in the process.

FRANK B. FLOOD
Frank B. Flood, M.D. passed away unexpectedly on January 10,
2008.
Dr. Flood was raised in Forest Hills and
He was physician to the Christian Brothers and the Sisters
of Charity, a Catholic order founded by Elizabeth Ann Seton. In October, 1963,
Dr. Flood’s 61 year old patient, Mr. Carl Kalin, lay in a coma with a rare
brain disease. The Sisters of Charity in the entire New York Community prayed
to their foundress, Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton, for his recovery. A relic, a
sliver of her bone, was placed on Mr. Kalin’s body to reinforce their prayers.
A few hours later he awoke. Dr. Flood certified his recovery was miraculous and
that it was through the intercession of Mother Seton that his patient was
cured. Dr. Flood and his family were present at the canonization of Mother
Seton by Pope Paul VI on September 14, 1975 in
Dr. Flood also maintained a private practice in cardiology/
internal medicine before retiring to Vero Beach, FL. Predeceased by his wife,
Noreen, in 2002, Dr. Flood was a loving father to sons, Tim, Michael, Patrick,
daughters Maura Flood, Deirdre Hackeling, Noreen Whitty, nine grandchildren,
two great-grandchildren, and his sister Joan. He will be missed dearly for his
keen sense of humor, his sharp wit, and his deep love of life. A private
memorial mass will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family gratefully requests
donations be sent to

I remember Brother Stephen well and warmly. I believe it was
in 1970 that I and hundreds of other Jaspers were protesting the Vietnam war loudly and with spirit in the Quadrangle. A lot of kids
had a lot of anger and weren’t being shy about expressing it. For some reason
beyond my current memory a fair amount of that anger seemed to be directed at
the college administration.
But Brother Stephen had the courage to come out and address
us despite being met at first with a lot of jeers and boos. I forget what he
said, but whatever it was it worked to make all of us protesters a bit more
content that we weren’t alone in our feelings and feel like the college was our
friend in the matter rather than our enemy.
He was also quite supportive of another passed member of our
community, Dr. Tom Stonier, and myself and others as
we created and brought the Peace Studies major through its birth pangs.

?????? Obviously you are not an Obama supporter…………this
cartoon certainly does not reflect any truth……………I don’t know what news you
listen to, but the man has always been upfront about his youth…..even about his
using drugs. He has talked about his Muslim childhood while in
…………You’re not a racist are you?

No, I’m not. I really don’t like any of the “empty suits”. With the exception of Ron Paul.
As far as the cartoon, I didn’t write it, but I know the
fellow who did. He was expressing his view of the world and can see his point.
And with respect to Obama in particular, I think he’s
unqualified for the Presidency. What has he done? Don’t get me wrong most of
the candidates are unqualified.
In any event, thanks for the comment. And, if this email
doesn’t bounce, I’ll even allow it to post.
