9/11 and Tom Knox

The first posting I put up on this blog on a September 11, was in 2006 – I only started my weblog at the end of September, 2005.

Mostly I wrote about this great guy, Tom Knox. 

Here's that post.    My friend, Tom Knox

Funny that yesterday morning, I remembered a rugby match – he was playing and I was the coach – against Manhattan RFC. We were North Jersey and the game was played at Overpeck Park, a few minutes from the GW Bridge. Probably around 1999. I haven't thought about his game in years and years.

We crushed Manhattan – a big upset – with three scores in the first five minutes and Tommy was involved in all of them. At the end we probably won the match by 25 points. And the beer tasted pretty good afterwards …

A pleasant memory to come up at a somber time.
