Rich Caron: One additional update for the future is I also played for the Chicago Lacrosse Club for 9 years after graduation. Hoist one for Tuna and the Rusty Scupper!!!!!! Many good times. Almost won the Vail Tournament, I think in 83 with a great Midwest team. We lost by one in the semis and the final was a blow out by the team we lost to.

Tom McHugh: Hey Richie, playing for a team for 9 years and carrying water for that team are two completely different things. Just because it was a long time ago doesn't mean folks don't remember. Come on, what role did you really play for Chicago Lax?

Paul Rizzo: OK, Big deal. I played for Michigan Lacrosse club for 7 years, Twin Cities for 2 years, and Cleveland for two years. Played in Vail 2 (or 3) times ( I can't remember, it was so long ago).

Tom McHugh: You didn't even play when you were @ ND. And I have the witnesses to back me up. You spent 90% of your time in the penalty box. Our man down was terrific thanks to your christian style of play. Don't even try, Ratso!!

Paul Rizzo: Ouch, that really hurt.

Bob Panoff: Chiming in from someone who scored but one garbage goal in one B-team game during his entire ND tenure, I did go on to play for the Wash U club team in grad school, then co-found the St. Louis Lacrosse Club, and then organized the club team at NYU while a post doc. While teaching physics at Clemson 1988-1991, I was the faculty advisor/coach for the club team, winning the Southeast Lacrosse Conference club championship. It's great to see the old names, and to hear your stories!

Joe Anderson: McHugh is too modest to mention that he was the founder and president for life of the Alexandria LC where Jurusik, Brown, Anderson and Farrell also played. The Alexandria team developed into an All-American laden USCLA powerhouse where the ND guys were no longer good enough to get minutes. It was interesting to read the Observer article in Len's book that reported on the dangers that Tom's shot posed to migrating waterfowl. In all Tom's years of club experience, he never managed to improve the accuracy of his shot. It was a real cannon and everybody was worried about getting hit. Whenever possible, I protected myself by hiding in front of the cage. There was a 6 by 6 zone where Tom's shot mysteriously never penetrated. The only reason that I am dumping on McHugh now is that I am still bitter about the time I broke my lawnmower while cutting the ankle high grass on the crappy field that MC Hugh got for the Alexandria LC home games. I am amazed how long some pain takes to heal.

Dave Jurusik: Flashback to Alexandria Lacrosse Club Days: Joe, you left out the time Tom's rocket shot found the gas tank on Carl Brittain's brand new Harley Davidson which was parked 10 yards off the field at the midfield line. I'm still amazed Carl didn't kill Tom right on the spot after observing the perfectly round impression of a lacrosse ball sunk into the gas tank of his two week old Harley. The rest of us were amazed because Carl could have parked his Harley in front of the goal and Tom could have taken (50) shots at it and never come close to it. Carl never brought his Harley to practice again because he knew there wasn't a safe place to park it as long as Tom was there. True story!!!

Kevin Campion: Nice to hear from Ratso! For the record, I think I can speak for Neff & Jack Murphy when I say that Ratso entered into the Pantheon of the Gods with us when - during some circa 1977 award acceptance speech at our End-of-Season dinner-cum-Keg-Party at somebody's dump of a house (where the "No-frills" ND Lax Club used to host its Official Functions - back in the days before Monograms, players names on the back of their jerseys, per diem meal allowances & Team buses with pissers on them) - he uttered the now-infamous line: "You know, I never could talk in front of **** (females)!" P.S. This was not the same Lax party where I threw up on some chick's suede jacket; that was at ND Apartments.

Chuck Neff:
Enjoyed many years of raucous post-game imbibing, parties, and road trips (New Orleans Mardi Gras Tournament in particular) with Lincoln Park Lacrosse Club, a spin-off of Chicago Lacrosse Club. We still get together for occasional LPLC Fossils games, the most recent against Chicago Lacrosse Club alums in August, 2002.
Dan Charhut '81 and Rich Wickel '80 also spent time on this team. Wickel's career ended when he broke a total of six d-sticks in two games...at the end, no one was willing to throw him their stick when he ran to the sideline looking for a replacement...he was not asked to return.
