Mom, dad & me ~ Rochester, NY • click to embiggen;)
Some guys ~ Rochester, NY • click to embiggenI'm back from spending 3 days in Rochester (NY) attending some HS Alumni events. The reason I attended was to take part in the 1963 football team (of which I was a member) Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony. 15 of my teammates also attended and it was definitely fun to see some of the guys. FYI, I was one of the few without a new hip or knee.
The following day, I took my plaque to my parents grave site. I wanted to honor them for their hard work and support which allowed me to attend an all-boys private Jesuit high school. That said, they both followed the '63 team - to include all of our away games, none of which were closer than a 4 hour chartered bus ride away - as part of the Parent's Athletic Booster Club.
The visit to the grave site was bitter sweet, although it was made all the sweeter by the fact that, literally and figuratively, they and all of the other parents had a hell of a fun ride because (in part), unlike the football team, they had liquor on their bus.
FYI, the wife made the teammate picture so that I could be in it.

No, I think that is David Crosby, except for those cool eyeglasses.
