Pleasanton couple's dog a winning wiener"In the seven years they have been together, Patrick Major has seen Sammy Davis transform from a playful pet to one of the fastest dachshund racers in the state. Even though he stands only about 6 inches tall, Sammy can pump his stubby little legs and leap through the air to catch Frisbees nearly as big as he is. And, this pooch was a doggie pinup in the International Disc Dog calendar three years running." Read More Here |

“I first met Chris when he was in high school. What I enjoyed most about Chris was his competitiveness and his great sense of humor. Recently I have had the good fortune of working with Chris in is role with the Hayward Youth Academy. There are many people who talk about doing good for others, there are people who write about helping others and there are countless people who wish they could dedicate themselves to helping others. Chris doesn’t do that. He actually lives it. There is no BS, no pie in the sky, no when I get the time. He does it. It is not a stretch to say what Mother Theresa was to the poor of Calcutta Chris Major is to the poor and deprived young men and women of Hayward. He is their beacon of hope and he deserves our help.” January 11, 2010

Dear Chris Major,
Thank you! Thank you for allowing us, George Kelly, to explore and learn about St Mary College. Without you, this whole experience would not have happened. Now, I have an idea to what college I would like to attend. This is my 1st yeat in AVID. I was told last year the AVID students went to Cal-Berkeley. They didn’t provide food or guest speakers. But you did! You even threw in basketball tickets, that was not only difficult to arrange, but also thoughtful. Plus, I have never been on a live broadcast show. That was my favorite part
Your future student, Kasey Diaz

“Christopher is an affable man of integrity and gregarious personality. He’s a person who rolls up his sleeves and participates in the causes he believes in. His demonstrated leadership skills are a testament to his hard work, dedication and ability to affect others in a positive way. He’s a person that will always command respect because whatever he gets from others he’s given ten times. And, because of his loyalty he’s a person that you’d want to go to war with in the trenches because you can depend upon him always being there.” January 11, 2010
