WINE & LECTURE: JUNE 12
Coronado in the 1950s and early 60s’
with noted U-T Columnist Logan Jenkins
At CHA on Friday, June 12, popular San Diego Union-Tribune columnist and fourth-generation San Diegan Logan Jenkins will share his perspective on growing up in Coronado in the 1950s and early 1960s. Logan graduated from Coronado High School in 1965. As he reflects on Coronado’s influence on his formative years, a vivid portrait of island life after World War II and “before the Bridge” will emerge.
After earning a doctoral degree in English literature from the University of British Columbia, Logan taught for several years at San Diego State University, where he’d studied as an undergraduate.
In the early ’80s, he left the classroom for the newsroom, serving as editor of the La Jolla Light and a variety of editing positions at the Times-Advocate in Escondido. In 1996, he joined the San Diego Union-Tribune as a columnist based in North County. Today, Logan lives in Bird Rock with his wife, Renee, a retired Francis Parker teacher. His son, Lee, is a senior writer at Sports Illustrated.
