| Pepperdine University |
During the early weeks of 2010, I traveled “here and there” to visit some
interesting locations. In February, I visited Pepperdine University, whose
hillside campus in Malibu, California, overlooks the Pacific Ocean. This
is recognized to be one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United
States. I was there to see the basketball game between Pepperdine and
Gonzaga Universities.

Pepperdine is named after its founder, George Pepperdine, whose great wealth came from The Western Auto Corporation, a business he began when he moved to Kansas City, Missouri, in 1909. On this occasion, the saint triumphed over the tycoon because Gonzaga beat Pepperdine by 72 to 54.
