ELUSIVE KICK RETURNER
Raymond “Frisky” Kaliski ’36 was a fierce running back, defensive back, and an elusive kick returner, which earned him entry into the SCU Athletic Hall of Fame. Kaliski’s numerous Bay Area jobs included film distributor, ship fitter at the Bethlehem Shipyards, developer of a large chain of movie theaters, builder of apartment complexes, and owner of a trophied miniature-horse ranch. He was 100 years old when he passed on Nov. 28, 2013. His son Raymond William ’66 and granddaughter Jaime Norman ’98 also attended Santa Clara.
