From the LAT Sunday Obits. She sounds like she was a great lady!

Hey, you get to my age, you start reading the obits just be be sure your name isn't in there :)

Virginia Weisman Diener

DIENER, Virginia Weisman Weisman Scharman Born in Chicago, Illinois on August 22, 1922, passed away on April 3, 2008. Virginia, aka Dinny, to all of us who knew and loved her will be remembered for her warm and welcoming manner and, above all, her relentless championing of UCLA basketball and football. Coaches Howland and Neuheisel - you'd better always bring your "A" game, because Dinny will always be watching and yelling and cheering mightily.

A family memorial service will be private.

Donations may be made in Dinny's memory to the Los Angeles Zoo and the UCLA Fund. Go Bruins!
Published in the Los Angeles Times from 4/6/2008 - 4/7/2008.

May she rest in peace

A woman after our own hearts.

A latter day "Ma Crandall"

As with Dinny, Ma Crandall was a delightful old grandmother who, it seems, adopted UCLA because one/some of her family attended. Long after they graduated, she fiercely clung to her Bruin loyalty ringing her trademark cow bell at every game she attended.

Class of '66 would know more about this as he was head yell leader around that time.

It is somewhat comforting to know that she went to heaven with the Bruins on the doorstep to banner #12.

God bless Ma and Dinny.

God, it's great to be a Bruin!
