Just sent this message out to the faithful and welcome sharing it with the die hard Crusaders who frequent these parts.
Fellow Crusaders,
Hard to believe but it was 10 years ago in the spring of 2008 that the idea of formally organizing the Crusader Football Alumni efforts was launched among a small handful of die hard Crusaders. What were then only some thoughts among a small group of friends have become realities over this past decade that have formed and strengthened relationships across generations of truly great Crusaders.
As with every initiative, there comes a time when a changing of the guard is healthy and fruitful to the long term well being of the undertaking. On that note, after countless epiphanies, solicitations, and calls to rally the troops, I welcome informing you that my good friend and classmate Spenser Huston '83 is taking the reins in leading the Friends of Crusader Football. I greatly appreciate Spenser's strong support of our efforts over the last few years and am confident under his leadership, the FoCF will only be more impactful in the years ahead. I welcome providing him my strong support and counsel over the coming years.
While I pass the torch to Spenser, I am pleased to let you know that I will continue to focus my efforts on spearheading our 90-Wide Mentoring Program and making that specific program within the FoCF "best in class."
I would be remiss in writing if I did not express my deepest gratitude to all the Crusaders who have embraced me and our efforts over the years. Neither time nor space allows me to list individually all of those deserving of my thanks. As I told Gordie Lockbaum a few weeks back, "I have gotten far more than I could ever give and I would not trade the great friendships I have developed for the world." I am truly grateful.
I would like to make one final collective request:
1. Please continue to support Spenser and the Friends so that generations from now our efforts will continue to resonate and others will boldly carry the torch.
2. Embrace and support Coach Chesney, his staff, and the Crusaders. Winning is a byproduct of great enthusiasm and unbridled motivation on every front.
3. Proudly wear the Purple and live the mission of what it means to be a Crusader.
4. Elevate the great name of Alma Mater, always pay it forward, and spare no sacrifice in the commitment to excellence and pursuit of victory.
With deepest gratitude,
LET'S WIN!!
