Wow! At a really nice event at Fairfield on Saturday, the 17th, with a big turnout of Fairfield rugby people. Well-deserved and I love it. Besides playing at Fairfield (Colin two years ahead of me) we played a lot of successful rugby together for Essex in the 70’s. In fact Colin played for the the Metropolitan Union All Star team in 1976 against France. And acquitted himself quite well (NY still lost however). Colin coached through the nineties with the Met Union and was amazingly successful as a coach. He kept things simple and got everything he could out of his players. Picture to the right is Colin around 1977. More pix down below.
“The Chief” – he gave a great talk as he was interviewed at the Awards dinner!
Here I am (It’s always all about me) with Betsy Kiley in August, 2009 outside of Chuck’s Steakhouse (the one in Danbury not the one that only recently closed in Hawaii). Brigid took the picture – note t shirt. It’s great to be youngerish…
One more – from 1976.
A great & unique rugby guy – and he had a wonderful career as an educator in Connecticut. GO COLIN GO!
