Super Star Tight 5 & Friends, Friday Feb. 27

[William Gregg]

Rugby Brothers,

Always great to hang with y'all on the last Friday of each month but this one will be special!!

Not only will it be in Campus Lounge's refurbished group chalet but we will be honored to host Glendale's Mayor Mike Dunafon for conversation about Rugby Town USA.

Put it on your calendar and invite others.

Cheers.

BG

Rugby Brothers,

The last Friday of each month is always a time to reconnect.

This 2/27, Campus Lounge at noon-30, will be both a sad time and interesting time.

1st, Paul Hoskins, long time rugger and terrific person, passed this week and we will share memories.

2nd, we will be honored to host Glendale's Mayor Mike Dunafon for conversation about Rugby Town USA.

Looking forward to seeing all.

[C H OLSON]

Thanks to Ken Briske for the expensive shots of scotch he bought all of us at Friday’s lunch.

Hello Chris

Thanks for sharing. I did not know that it was Ken who got them. 

Thanks, Ken. Appreciate the gesture.
As for the rest of you, and Mayor Dunafon, good to see you all in good spirit and health.

CSOB/Ol’Pokes

Dave Ocken here.  It has come to my attention that I need to clear the air regarding a misunderstanding.  Recently, the 1990 to 2012 CSOB/Ol’ Pokes History was put out to everyone as it should have been.  But, I did not write that historical account.  Fred Alexander wrote this history.  He had input from others listed at the end of the document, and I assumed that everyone would understand that it as written by those members.  I should have mentioned this in the header.

While on their way to the Breckenridge St. Valentine Massacre, Bill and Joe stopped by here in Dillon to see Clara and me.  We enjoyed a few beers, food, and reminiscing old times, as well as  the current status of the club.  That got me to thinking of past documents that I still had on my computer and I found the History that Fred had written.  To complement some of our conversation of the night before, I sent it on to Bill.  He sent it on to the club members.  Though being terribly incomplete, it had a lot of good information on the history of CSOB.

After I started playing rugby in 1970, I ultimately hooked up with the CSOB about 1997-98.  Clara and I quickly became active in helping Fred and Earnie however we could.  I can understand how some long time club members and current club members could have thought that I wrote the History.  I did not.  Please forgive me for not making that clear at the outset.

It is obvious that Fred’s history is incomplete.  Several of the oldest members of the club have moved on, but there are a few that are still around.  Also, there are those of you that have a lot more information about the history of the club.  That information could be, and should be, added to the CSOB/Ol’ Pokes history.  We are all interested in what you know, and the stories you have.  

Dave O.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your clarifications and all your efforts on CSOB behalf!

So going forward, to whom should any corrections/suggestions/new information be forwarded to for inclusion?

Go forward,

Herk

Dave, 

 

Aside from you and Bruce being my personal CSOB role models and mentors, you are a great ambassador of the sport.  Any info you can and have provided is greatly appreciated.  We're all a team!  

 

Thanks for staying involved. 

 

Tim
