THE DOWNLOAD: Welcome Home, Goodbye and Nostalgia

The UC Davis women's basketball team’s post-season run ended Thursday (March 23) with a loss in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament Round of 16 against Washington State, but they were still welcomed home to Davis in style.

A celebration of life for Action Jackson last week included the unveiling of a metal silhouette of the donkey’s likeness, made by the farm crew and installed in the breeding barn where Action Jackson presided for two decades before his death Jan. 6 at the age of 29. Members of the animal science community gathered for the noontime program to remember the donkey who sired well over 500 donkeys and mules — and, with his “talkative” behavior, entertained countless visitors to the barn area on La Rue Road.
