Jerry Tellers says, "I'm watching a lot of water polo" since he retired as badminton coach, while he continues to teach APUSH (Advanced Placement U.S. History) on campus at La Jolla High.
He attended the Senior Game for the girls Fri., Jan. 31. As a student, "I went to 'Uni' (USDHS). I traveled everyday from Oceanside, 45 minutes each way." (Not now--much more traffic.)
"Uni" was the predecessor to Cathedral Catholic High School. The USDHS campus was on the southern side of Linda Vista Road in Linda Vista, across from the University of San Diego campus, through the 1990's. Kelly Drobeck attended USDHS, played volleyball, and coached volleyball there, as well.
Tellers was a schoolmate of Barry Zito, Class of 1996. He starred for the Oakland A's (who are leaving Oakland for Sacramento, then Las Vegas, supposedly) in the Major Leagues. He was a top lefty.
Jerry has taught at LJHS for 20 years, after "four to five" in the Bay Area.
