How retired Fairfield ruggers party

Ahhh, this is classic. At a fundraiser for the Fairfield U. Rugby Club, sponsored by FOFR (Friends of Fairfield Rugby) which I attended along with 60-70 other rugby alumni on Friday, February 6th – two weeks ago.

Here’s a shot of the NY Public Library which I took on a whim walking to Blaggard’s Pub on 8 W. 38 St. where the party was. None of these pictures are great, since I used my android phone without the flash. But you’ll get the “picture”.

Tom tells me three out of his four children can do this. No word on the grandchildren.

YES – the thrill of victory.

It may be awhile before this gets topped. Probably the next get-together.
