Friends of Crusader Football Reception in Boston April 20th

Very nice event. Good turnout from a wide range of classes. Great way to stay in touch with the football family and especially to welcome the '17 grads. Nice talk by TG about the spring practices, the upcoming summer program, the progress of the new football facility, the quality of the incoming freshman class and the start of hitting the road for recruiting. Looking forward to the golf outing.

'86 . . . thanks for sharing the color on this event and on the golf outing in July. 

Always great getting together with Crusaders covering close to a 70 year time frame and welcoming the expected graduates into the Friends of Crusader Football family. In doing so, we also celebrated the accomplishments of many recent grads who are already out there 'killing it' and blazing the trail for future generations of Crusaders. 

Thanks to Glenn Verrette '80 for hosting the event in a fabulous venue. Heather Palmer, head of the Crusader Athletics Fund, once again distinguished herself. Her efforts on behalf of the cause are deeply appreciated. 

The upcoming grads were given two takeaways:

1. Read and embrace the Grant and Glueck Focus Report that reviews two groups of men and subsequent generations going back 75 years. For those not aware of this report, the attached link gives a nice synopsis, captured in this one line: "The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.".

2. Appreciate that all they really need to know in life, they were taught in kindergarten and now simply need to apply it. How so? Elevate and accentuate in a positive fashion these self-explanatory concepts:
  
A = Attitude, E = Engage, I = Information, O = Ownership , U = Understanding  

Newsaderdad, we will post details of the golf event here at Crossports but please feel free to drop me a line at lwdoyle128@aol.com with your contact email so we can get you on the distribution. That offer goes to everybody who frequents these parts.
