Just messing around scanning some old images of when I was a kid. I pretty much hated football, but I played for a few years in high school anyway. What the heck. The sport does wonders for working out all of your nastiest aggressions, and it does a pretty good job of generating all sorts of new aggressions, too. Interesting how that works. It`s sort of a cycle. I made some good friends, but I could do without the sport. I played a bunch of positions: guard, tackle, linebacker, and defensive end. I sucked at everything except end. I was quite good at defensive end, actually. I used to like hitting quarterbacks. Hard. Especially when they weren`t looking. See? Aggression. I`m playing end in all of these images below. I`m 73 in the white jersey and I`m 85 in black. On the end.

What year did you graduate? I live on Long Island now and have a few friends (with some grey hair too) that went to Sachem...
