Join us at A&M on Oct. 30 to honor Manitzas '52

The date -- and the honoree -- have been set for the 2010 FJSA Fall Reception! Come hang out with us in Cain Hall on Oct. 30 (Tech gameday) and help us induct Frank Manitzas '52 to the FJSA Hall of Honor.

More details will come, including the reception's start time, but the location will be the same as last year: the "POD" in Cain Hall (room B-111).

FJSA President Doug Pils says:
A former Battalion sports editor and co-editor in 1952-53, Frank Manitzas '52 retired from a stellar career in TV journalism as Chief Latin America Correspondent of ABC News. Among the many noteworthy events Manitzas covered, he was present in Bolivia as an Associated Press correspondent when Che Guevara's body was brought in, and he was in Chile for Augusto Pinochet's coup that overthrew the government run by Salvador Allende.
