Although a graduate of Torrey Pines High School, the Mayor told the audience about her own family members who graduated from San Dieguito: her great-uncle John Miller was a member of the Class of 1937 and her mother and aunt are also alumni. <\/p>\n<p>After presenting John Fairchild with the proclamation, Sue Sieber Cooper (&#8217;66) told the audience a little about John. The Fairchilds were a military family, moving frequently and the kids attending many different schools. John attended both Pacific View Elementary and Central School, Earl Warren and Oak Crest Junior High. <\/p>\n<p>The audience laughed when Sue described how John was cut from the 9th grade basketball team. His mother had a chat with the coach and he was reinstated as the water boy, a development that turned out to be lucky because he was able to make it back on the team by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>And the rest, as they say, is history! <\/p>\n<p>After Sue presented John with his Hall of Fame certificate, John spent some time talking to the audience about his experiences and answering questions from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find video of this event below.
