here are two grand marshals for this year’s Picnic Day Parade and one honoree. One will be there in person; two in spirit.

DICK McCAPES ’56, D.V.M. ’58,

will be the one waving to the crowd on April 20. The retired Davis veterinarian and former faculty member will be there representing his late wife, MARILYN ’55, who died in 2012. The honoree is Marilyn’s late father, COLBY E. “BABE” SLATER ’17, UC Davis’ first Olympic gold medalist and the first member inducted into the Cal Aggie Athletics Hall of Fame.

McCapes, age 79, is pleased to share his wife’s family history with today’s Aggies, especially surrounding an event with so much meaning to his family and the community. The annual campus open house, organized solely by students, is the nation’s largest studentrun event. As students, Marilyn served as secretary on the Picnic Day board, and her father was chairman in 1917 and parade chairman the year before.

“It’s really about their family legacy, which is a wonder-

It’s really about their family legacy, which is a wonderful story.” ful story,” McCapes said.

He’s been meeting with the 2013 Picnic Day board members, and took time on Feb. 15 to show students some of Slater’s memorabilia on display in Shields Library’s Special Collections, which will be open to the public on Picnic Day. Afterward, they headed to The Pavilion for the Colby E. “Babe” Slater Athletic Hall of Fame, so named because of a McCapes family gift.

There, the students handled the two Olympic gold medals Slater won for rugby in 1920 (Antwerp, Belgium) and 1924 (Paris), and the UC Davis Slater Award trophy, given to the outstanding male athlete of the year. The most recently engraved name is 2012 Olympic swimmer SCOTT WELTZ ’10. Slater, an all-around athlete, also played football, basketball

and baseball at UC Davis.

McCapes was delighted by the students’ interest in campus history. “The board of students are just wonderful,” McCapes said.

“They give you a good feeling about the future of this country.”

This year’s Picnic Day theme is “Snapshot.” The day is a perfect chance to get caught up on or introduced to what’s on campus. It’s also a great time to look back at the event’s 99-year history.

A periodic attendee of Picnic Day and former parade judge, McCapes looks forward to the upcoming Cal Aggie Alumni Association Pancake Breakfast, Picnic Day parade, and “just wandering around” looking for familiar faces and interesting displays.

“There’s always something to watch: dog races, chemistry, music, art — something for everyone.”

That’s why people return to campus for Picnic Day, long after they’ve graduated.

“If you go once, you’re probably going to go more than once,” he said.

McCapes has remained

DICK McCAPES stands behind them. active on campus, even after retiring. He’s a past CAAA board member, and remains a life member.

For Picnic Day 2013, the grand marshal has grand plans. He hopes to share the day with some of

his five children and nine grandchildren. “I’m going to take in the Picnic Day fully,” he said. “It looks to be a huge event. They have quite a schedule. It’s quite a lot different than when we were students.”

and daughter EMMA, 2.

RIGHT: KELLY SCOTT, right, shows his Aggie pride atop the Great Wall of China with PETE CARPENTER ’01, in September 2012.

PHOTOS COURTESY KELLY SCOTT

the facility manager for the Cal Aggie Alumni Association, was promoted to director of corporate membership and corporate alumni relations.

In his new role, Scott is developing CAAA’s new Business Membership Program.

He helps businesses increase their reach and visibility with alumni, students, parents, staff and friends of UC Davis.

A 2001 graduate of California State University, Chico, Scott has a degree in business administration, with an emphasis in marketing. He has worked for UC Davis for more than eight years. He began as event coordinator for Conference and Event Services, was assistant manager at Freeborn Hall, then event and administration coordinator for the Graduate School of Management. He’s been a CAAA staff member for nearly three years, and traveled to China and Tibet, hosting an Aggie Adventures trip in the fall.

“I enjoy working with a community of people who are tackling big global problems, and dedicating their lives and talents in support of education,” he said.

Scott is a native of Northern California. He

and his wife, MELISSA YOUNG ’02, a fourth-grade teacher in Natomas, live in Roseville with their 2-yearold daughter, Emma. They have three pets: an Australian shepherd mix dog, bluetongued skink lizard, and a bearded dragon.

Although Scott keeps busy with family and work, he enjoys running marathons; practicing and teaching yoga; and serving as a DJ at nightclubs, festivals, local bars, weddings and receptions. He’s played soccer for more than 25 years, and has coached AYSO soccer in Davis.

When asked what he would do if he could no longer do his current job, Scott said he’d love to join the crew constructing a huge model of Star Wars’ Millennium Falcon. “I’m kind of a sci-fi nerd, so I might travel to Tennessee to help build the full-scale replica.”

WINEMAKER

Profile Route 3 Wines IT

’s easy for Frank and Nancy Muller of Woodland to maintain their Aggie ties.

FRANK ’79, and his wife of 31 years, NANCY CASEY MULLER ’78, ’82 M.S., loved the time they spent at UC Davis. They met on campus, both studying managerial and agricultural economics.

Frank is a partner in Route 3 Wines. The family’s farm, Joe Muller & Sons, created Yolo Vineyards in 1994, which farms 270 acres of wine grapes, vine stock, and olive and walnut orchards in the Dunnigan Hills. They launched the winery in 2007,

using grapes exclusively from the vineyard’s Hucke Ranch.

It’s a family affair. The two other partners are Frank’s brothers, LOUIE MULLER ’77, and TOM MULLER. Sister MARIANNE FERRENDELLI

is an ’88 graduate. Dad Joe and mother Marie are both retired. Through time, all six of Joe and Marie Muller’s children have been involved.

Named after the rural postal route on which the family farm resides, Route 3 is best known for Albarino, a variation of a Spanish white wine.

It’s Frank’s favorite summer drink. In winter, he prefers Syrah; Nancy enjoys Merlot.

Nancy grew up in Burlingame. For her, the move to Davis was a big change. “I visited the UC Davis campus and fell in love with the open space.”

Frank transferred as a junior to UC Davis from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. He was drawn to the theoretical education, but loved the fun side as well, especially the Cal Aggie Marching Band-uh!

They’re happy they stayed in Yolo County, and have “a wonderful family business,” Nancy said. Their success is rooted in their trust in each other. The wine and vineyards are just part of

their business. They also grow lots of tomatoes — Yolo County’s No. 1 crop.

Nancy and Frank have a high regard for UC Davis.

They are on campus about once a month to attend Mondavi Center events or to help with campus research projects.

He says, “(UC Davis) still has a lot to offer us, even

The UC education that we got was incredible.

In any way we can give back, we have to give back.” though I’m not going to school anymore.”

The Mullers are life members of the Cal Aggie Alumni Association, and look forward to continued involvement with the university.

“The UC education that we got was incredible,” Frank said. “In any way we can give back, we have to give back.”
