Today’s newsletter is presented by PLNU Coastal Clean Up.
Hello, Point Loma and Ocean Beach!
Eileen Finley McCarthy is Point Loma High’s oldest living alumna and will turn 104 on Oct. 25.
McCarthy was recognized this month at the school’s centennial gala.
She was born in 1921 and raised in Point Loma. Her parents and older brother immigrated from Canada and settled in Ocean Beach in 1918. McCarthy was the principal dancer for the San Diego Starlight Ballet and acted and sang on KGB Radio.
Read the sweet tribute to her from her son, Mike McCarthy, who lives in Point Loma.
And we’re in the home stretch of our fall fundraising campaign — but you can still give! It ends on the 19th, and you could be the one to put us over the top.
