Victoria Bragin with Dr. Odi Matityahu and his family after the semifinal round. Odi was one of Vicki's first set of chemistry students at Pasadena City College. Odi and his family were attending the semifinal round not realizing that Vicki was a competitor and, in fact, a semifinalist. It was not until Vicki was on stage that he realized it was indeed his former chemistry professor. Vicki never made a point of talking to her students about her "other life" in music.
