Here is the picture of everyone that came to our reunion on September 20th, 2008. I feel reasonably sure that everyone is in this picture. It was a great event and Steve and I are talking on how to increase the attendance in 2009. Steve came up with the idea of this blog so everyone can stay in touch with each other and as my office manager is typing now, I will always need her help in operating this device, but it is a great idea. Steve and I have a list of all the players from 71 - 75 and we are trying to come up with a strategy to contact each and everyone. We had a great time at this reunion.Most of us had not seen each other in 34 years and that is way too long! As I told you in my last correspondence if it had not been for Duffy's death I might not have been at this event and trust me it was time well spent. I already am looking forward to next year and we will be in touch.

I am going to include all the pictures that were taken but names will not be included since we have already done this on these two pictures and with time permitting we will make a CD to send to everyone.

Searching for MOCS

After a great turnout at Homecoming, a number of us are comitted to locating some of the players that no one has seen or heard from in a while. If you are a player from this era, we encourage you to contact us so we can update your info and distribute it to other players who may want to contact you. We have compiled a spreadsheet of the players that we know of and their info. If you desire to have a copy of the spreadsheet let us know.

Homecoming 2008

A Great Time to Renew Friendship

On Saturday, 20 or so of the early 70's Football MOCS met at the pavillion to renew our friendships and celebrate homecoming. A good time was had by all and many stories (some lies) were told about the good old days. I do believe some of us were ready to suit up and play. We look more like the NFL lineman today than we did in the 70's. Coach Wilkes gave the game ball to Mrs. Tinkler because the reality was that if it hadn't been for Mrs. Tinkler, we wouldn't have had 11 players to play. We missed all you guys that couldn't be there and look forward to your being there next year.
This blogspot is intended to provide all of us with a means of communicating easily with each other. I would like for us to post favorite old and new pictures of ourselves and families. My intention is for any and all of you to be able to post and communicate with each other. As I figure out how to do so I will let you know.
Thanks for coming and your friendships.
Steve Bevilaqua
