Memories from the Past...
For some reason I had a lot of visits to my office. My guess is that it was more than coincidental that Marilyn was working as a division secretary.

Steve Bennett sends along the memory of his recommending a "play" during one of our time outs and my less than receptive attititude---telling him that he could run "his" play when he had his own team.

Do you remember the great win over Foothill in the GGC Championship Game when Bennett won the sprint that we had to have. Foothill subsequently fouled and the ever reliable Bob Quist pumped in the penalty shot for the win?

In retrospect some of the coaching comments then would definitely be regarded as politically incorrect today. Like when Steve Bennett pumped faked at 4 meters, dropping the ball then picking it up and shooting one out of his...ear. "Nice fake, I thought you were going to shoot it the first time", was said sarcastically with a touch of humor that made being a Bulldog special.

This was the team that beat Diablo Valley twice in Los Angeles at the State Championships. Once was in the pool and the other was at Disneyland where we splashed and destroyed them in a canoe race.

Pete Abate recited the first line of the Banquet Poem 34 years after the banquet....I was impressed.
