....ON THE PLAYING FIELDS OF ETON."

Parker No. 87 at Halftime

Dad gives last minute advice and a little demo before the second Half

Team moms are Appreciated

Teamwork and a chance to knock people around makes for a Great Saturday Afternoon

The Duke of Wellington is quoted as saying "The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton." The values of good drill, courage, and teamwork are learned in many sports.

While I hope that Parker, Brendon and your sons never see the battle field, I do appreciate and respect what team sports offer to young men. Though our sons played football for a small school and were not bruisers, we enjoyed those games as much as watching the Trojans or the Bruins. Our sons enjoyed being part of a team and learned to push on when they knew the immediate result might be painful and disappointing. So......"GO ALTA!!!!"
