I have posted part of a football scrap book over the years this is part of whats left, yes, I am subject to scavengers concerning all my personal records. I sent my Family heritage in Europe a football game film short of the 1979 NCAA Football Championship game where I did recover a fumble near the goal area to help win the National Championship for small college football. I began playing football at an early age. I played Pee Wee, Midget, Bantam levels before I played varsity levels in high school, prep school and college. All the football teams I played for all either made the Play-Offs or won a Championship, except Dennis-Yarmouth High School 1975. I would like to add that Dennis-Yarmouth had a lot of good players that did not continue to play football and to be a play-off caliber team a team must all start out together as freshman and develop as a whole team unit until their Senior Year which Dennis-Yarmouth did not do. Dennis-Yarmouth record was 5 wins and 5 losses during 1975 football season. I played 5 games at Offensive Guard and 5 games at Full Back but I did rush for over a 1,000 yards in only 5 varsity football games, including a kick off return for a touchdown.
I played Miget and Bantam for St. Mathews School & Church, Kalispell, Montana, Fargo South,North Dakota, Mauston, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Miramar,Florida and Weathersfield,Connecticut. I forgot the name of the town in Maryland not Virgina but I remember after we won the Championship our team went to Up State New York to play a New York Team and we did win but I never heard anything about that again., I was an Artist/Entertainer,so, I traveled a career path route through those Communities where I had relatives. I will start with Miramar, Florida because that was probably the most competitive football Community I participated in. I played for South West Broward Junior Athletic Association and we won the Broward County Championship I was nominated All Star Team then to get more playing time at Running Back I changed over to Miramar Optimist we also won the Broward County Championship I was selected to the All Star Team. The next season, 1969, I played soccer in stead of football we won the Key Coast Division Championship I was selected second team All League. Then I went to my Grandfathers in Weathersfield ,Connecticut who was a retired Police Sergeant with the Hartford Police Department. He was a Policeman for about 40 years. 1970 season, I played for the Weathersfield Parks and Recreation "Vikings" we made the Play-Offs and I made Team MVP. I also made the Academic Honor Roll and I have a photo of my holding up my Honor Roll Certificate. I did not played a football season again until my Senior Year at Dennis-Yarmouth High School 1975 where I varsity lettered, made All League Honors and set State,League and School records for rushing yards as a Full Back, most yards in a single game and most yards per rush. I was selected All New England Class A Division at Inside Linebacker for the 1976 and 1977 varsity football season. I also set rushing yard and scoring records at Full Back at Tabor. In College I lead Ithaca college to win their first national Championship 1979. I set personal performance records for scoring most points on DEFENSE I proved 96 points in only 22 college varsity football games. Some one told me the other day I forgot to mention that I scored against Clarion State 1979 and I had 2 other safeties "Touchbacks" against Bloomsburgh 1979 and Cortland State 1979, who ever has all the football games films should know the exact statistical facts.
