The year was 1953, the car was a 1939 ford and the place was Berkeley. Ag Engineering Seniors Don Lindquist (left) and Miller "Kep" Keplinger (right) headed up to spend some time at the Lindquist's family home during spring break. Keplinger won the August PolyLink Photo of the month title - and a cool Cal Poly Alumni window decal - for this shot of the friends on break. Use the 'Locate a Classmate' link to at left to find both grads and see more of Keplinger's great photos.  
Gary Gatel (B.S., Business Administration, 1977) in 1975. He turned his love of motorcycles into a career. Gatel is the President of Rifle Fairings, a company that makes and sells fairings for motorcycles. What's a fairing? It's the cool and frequently colorful aerodynamic body piece under the windshield that channels air around the rider. And of course, Gatel is still riding motorcycles when he's not at work.

"I'm not sure when I finally got it cut, but it was much shorter (around my shoulders) when Suzan and I got married in 1974. My ears reappeared in the 1990s." Today he's the president of a high-end contracting company in Marin county, and has some of the best "back in the day" photos in PolyLink

DuPuy, a software engineer, gets the title this month for this shot of him climbing the Matterhorn in 2005 -- the real peak in Switzerland, not the Disney version. And in Cal Poly Colors! (Gold, at least...) DuPuy says his Cal Poly education has allowed him to finance his passion: mountain climbing.
