Quarterback Club to start 60th year

Formed in 1942, the Glendale YMCA Quarterback Club is still going

strong in its 60th year.

The club, which supports area and Southland football, will kick

off another season at noon Tuesday when Kevin Danni -- a former St.

Francis High football player who was in New York's World Trade Center

on Sept. 11 -- guest speaks at the first of 11 meetings.

Other guest speakers this season will include USC Athletic

Director Mike Garrett, UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero and former

NFL stars Duane Bickett and Christian Okoye.

Local football coaches and players will also take part in the

meetings, which will be held Tuesdays starting Tuesday through Nov.

19.

The club -- which meets for lunch and is open to anyone -- will

take place at the Elk's Club, 120 E. Colorado Street.
