What kinds of stories does Bob have to share?

On January 8, 1989, the 49ers would play the Bears in Chicago for the NFC title, the winner going to the Super Bowl. The 49ers won handily, as impressive a road victory as they accomplished. But that’s not what I remember of that time. What I do remember is what happened as I was sitting in Mike Ditka’s office four days before the game.I was interviewing the Bears coach for the Press Democrat. Ditka was notoriously ill-tempered. Many media were careful to parse their words so as not to enrage him. Which is why I remember so clearly what Ditka did in the middle of my interview.

Buy a ticket and hear the answer to this story and many more! This is sure to be an evening you won’t soon forget.

The WISE Foundation would like to welcome you back to school! We are looking forward another great year for The Waugh School District.

WISE is pleased to welcome Rebecca Rosales to the district, as our new superintendent. Mrs. Rosales will be at the WISE Ice Cream Social on September 11th, to help us kick off the year. Please stop by and say hello to her while you enjoy yummy ice cream. We look forward to seeing you there!

To help you stay organized with all the back to school information at the start of the year, WISE has put together this little checklist. We hope this helps you. We’d love your feedback. Feel free to leave a comment and let us know how we’re doing.

Thanks from all of us at WISE!
