CHARLES SANDY POFAHL On a somewhat bleak October morning in 1941, Sandy was born on a South Dakota farm near Aberdeen. joining the continual mid- west exodus to sunny, smoggy Southern California, he came to live in Riverside in 1948 where scouts, little league, a dog, and a paper route took most of his time. High school was an active, unquestion- ing period with student government, the studies, and Varsity Foot- ball and Wrestling at the fore. As a Sigma Chi at Stanford, Varsity Soccer, dating, booking and who am I? occupied the major part of his time. His first year of graduate study was at Princeton Theological Seminary, from where he switched back to Stanford to anchor the Class of '67 in the School of Law. As to the future, the path has never been certain, but it looks like the Bar, Uncle Sam, U.S. Attorney's Office, and then private practice . . .
