Florence, Mal
Sports Writer
1942? - 1949
From The Times: "Mal Florence, who combined gritty reporting and skilled news gathering with the art of storytelling in more than half a century in the Sports department with the Los Angeles Times, died in May 2004 after a long illness. He was 77. One of the city's most respected print journalists, Florence reveled in a career that spanned generations, crossing paths with the prime newsmakers of more than one era in what was a golden age of sports teams and sportswriting.Florence, a Los Angeles native, joined The Times in 1951 and retired in 1994. His reporting resume covered most of the sporting best the city had to offer -- the Rams, USC and UCLA football, UCLA basketball, the Lakers, golf, and track and field. He continued his career even after retirement, writing the popular Morning Briefing column for The Times sports pages as a freelancer until shortly before his death. Over the years, he enjoyed embellishing his modest career as a USC football player in the late 1940s. He never rose above the junior varsity level, serving as cannon fodder for the varsity. Once, decades later, when asked if he'd ever played football at USC, he glared at the questioner, then replied icily, "You don't remember the 98-yard kickoff return against Notre Dame?" "Oh, sorry ... of course," the embarrassed questioner sputtered. Laker Coach Bill Sharman, later a golfing partner of Florence's for years, recalled how thrilled Florence was when he learned in 1995 that he'd been voted into USC's Athletic Hall of Fame, in recognition of his sportswriting career. But, of course, even that honor needed some embellishment. "I was with Mal one day after that happened and someone asked him if he'd ever played football at USC," Sharman said. "Mal kind of stared at the guy and said, 'Why do you think I'm in the SC Hall of Fame?' " Times Sports Editor Bill Dwyre, a Notre Dame graduate, enjoyed many lively exchanges with Florence over the years, especially during USC-Notre Dame week. One fall, after getting permission from then-managing editor George Cotliar, Florence arranged for the USC marching band, complete with uniforms and sunglasses, to parade into The Times' newsroom, surround Dwyre's office and serenade him with 10 minutes' worth of "Fight On." Once, at the height of John McKay's coaching success at USC, a visiting sportswriter asked Florence how McKay was to deal with after a loss. "I don't remember," Florence sniffed. Years later, when USC, after a middling 1992 season, wound up playing Fresno State in the Freedom Bowl in Anaheim, a colleague asked Florence if he would be going to the game. Florence, aghast at the thought of his Rose Bowl-steeped Trojans playing in the Freedom Bowl, against Fresno State, was horrified by the question. "Good Lord, no!" he said. "What if somebody saw me there?" Although Florence was a passionate USC partisan -- he wrote "The Trojan Heritage," a pictorial history of USC football -- Dwyre recalled his professionally setting aside his personal feelings when it came to covering the Trojans for the newspaper. "Mal broke the story in 1982 that the NCAA was going to come down hard on USC for football program infractions," Dwyre said. "He had a great source on what was a major news story.... Mal took a lot of heat from a lot of SC guys on writing that story. It was tough for him to write it." World War II interrupted Florence's USC student years and he won a Purple Heart without leaving California. There was more to Florence, though, than quips and braggadocio. After graduating from USC in 1949, he spent a school year in graduate journalism studies at the University of Missouri. His sportswriting won a Los Angeles Press Club award in 1962, one of his Times stories was reprinted in "Best Sports Stories of 1968," and he was inducted into the U.S. Basketball Writers Assn. Hall of Fame in 2000. Said Terry Donahue, longtime former UCLA football coach and now general manager of the San Francisco 49ers, "I'll always remember Mal as really one of the old-school professionals. He'd come up as a sports reporter and journalist in the old days and always was able to develop close relationships with coaches, administrators and athletes. He was a pro. He represented an age when there was more trust and there was not so much sensationalism, so he had open and honest communication with the subjects on his beat." Florence, who had bone cancer, is survived by sons Jon and Matthew. His wife, Gayle, died in 1996."

Fromstein, Daniel
Cinema Editor
1991 - 1993
Daniel did not go into journalism upon graduating. He headed off (perhaps "fled" would be even more apropos) for acting school in New York City at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, then later at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. He acted in a streak of four plays after completing school, the most noteworthy of which being the last -- Neil Simon's Broadway Bound in Mission Viejo, California, where he performed the lead role. Daniel currently lives in Vancouver, Canada where he works in the exciting paging industry (tongue held about as firmly in cheek as possible). He is endeavoring to set up his own photography business, and has a "wonderful girlfriend from Mexico." Awww.

Frusetta, James
Editorial Director, Columnist (Adeptus Inquisition)
1991 - 1992
Says James, "I went on to Arizona State for an M.A., and (not even drunk) managed to get roped into working on _another_ campus newspaper for 2 years. Blarg. Just as the master's was almost done, received a Big Fat Government grant to study in Macedonia. Amid adventures spanning from being robbed by gypsies to spending the night in Vlad Tepes' castle, worked for Makedonija Breme and did dull, dreary academic stuff. Just moved outside Washington D.C. to get a Ph.D. on another Big Fat Grant -- rather surprisingly proving that history, amazingly enough, pays." But will it repeat itself? Stay tuned...
Yes,, it does. James reports (June 1999) that he's going to "Bulgaria for a year, oppressing -- er, I mean studying the country to finish the Ph.D." And now this (2002): "This e-mail is still good for about another year -- and then, man, I'm graduating."
