A life story. As a retired ad guy, I write to keep my brain active, beyond reading Pirate Crew. An essay I wrote for the Boston Globe that weaves together my Grampy, pie and me as Grampy. It reflects on how much impact grandparents make on you when you look back. I bet many here are grandfathers and have your own traditions. Mine was about sharing pie with my Grampy. What is you favorite pie? Thought you all might enjoy the diversion from politics, wars and vitriol with a human interest piece. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/slice-pie-life-legacy-grampys-bill-field-f45rf/

He just became the head coach at Seton Hall prep. A lot of UConn content since it's a. UConn podcast, but there's some Hall things in there as well.

Was awesome as a frosh/soph at manasquan then went prep. 6'5 - Terrific 2g

Some good here - only issue is no TV for the Hofstra game in no man’s land that I have no idea why we are playing.
