 Octavia
E. Butler was the first black woman to come to international
prominence as a science fiction writer. Incorporating powerful,
spare language and rich, well-developed characters, her work tackled
race, gender, religion, poverty, power, politics, and science in a
way that touched readers of all backgrounds. Butler was a towering
figure in life and in her art and the world noticed; highly
acclaimed by reviewers, she received numerous awards, including a MacArthur "genius" grant, both the Hugo and Nebula awards, the
Langston Hughes Medal, as well as a PEN Lifetime Achievement award. |

Dr. Willard Goodwin |

1933 |
 Willard
E. Goodwin, M.D. (1915-1998) was the founder of the UCLA
Department of Urology and a pioneer in the treatment of urologic
diseases, organ transplantation and pediatric urology. A graduate of
UC Berkeley and Johns Hopkins, Goodwin joined UCLA in 1951 and
became founder and chief of the division of urology in 1953. He was
credited with making 40 major discoveries in urology. The Department
conducted its first kidney transplant in 1960 and has since
performed more than 5,000 such procedures.
Dr. Goodwin's accomplishments included one of the first successful
methods of radionuclear imaging of the kidney, the first use of
steroids in transplantation, the first percutaneous nephrostomy, and
innovative methods of using bowel to reconstruct the urinary tract
in adults and children performed by Dr. Goodwin and another
urologist, William Casey, M.D. Together, they demonstrated the
safety of percutaneous drainage and developed the study of the upper
urinary tract. Their work still stands among the major urologic and
radiologic advances of the 20th century and is used in one form or
another to this day.

Rod Sherman |
Sports |
1962 |
 Rod Sherman played varsity
football in the early 1960s at Muir and was a four-year wide
receiver for John McKay at USC. He was All Pac-8 in his senior year
(1966) and made his only Rose Bowl appearance on Jan. 1, 1967
against Purdue. Sherman caught what would have been the game-winning
touchdown pass but the Trojans failed on a two-point conversion late
in the fourth quarter. As a result, the Boilermakers, led by
quarterback Bob Griese, won 14-13.
Sherman was selected in the third round of the 1967 AFL Draft by the
Oakland Raiders. In his rookie year, he became the first Muir
alumnus to play in a Super Bowl. He spent the following season with
the Cincinnati Bengals before returning to the silver and black for
the 1969, ‘70 and ‘71 seasons. He finished his pro football career
with the Denver Broncos (1972) and the Los Angeles Rams (1973).
Sherman is currently President and CEO of flashbackcamps.com, a
fantasy football camp where “grown-up kids” can compete with
university greats of the past at three levels (player/coach/owner).
The series of annual two-day camps (one of which is held at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum), is
conducted like a scouting combine, in which the participants draft a
team.
