Our pickup hockey games were played on a little lake north of
Westville, a suburb of New Haven. There were no rules there. The
city's outdoor skating rinks did not allow pickup hockey games, and

skating in a big circle to music.

I was never good enough a skater to even try out for our high
school's varsity hockey team. Those guys could skate!

We didn't allow "lifting" in our pickup hockey games. No one wanted
to loose teeth or an eye. If you slammed the puck and it hit someone
above the legs, the opposing team got a point.
I never played hockey or basketball in high school.

Couldn't play one and hated the other. :)

I was only 6'2" in high school and not nearly tall enough to play for my
school's team!
My high school basketball team's tallest player was only 6'2 and we won
the state AAA championships my senior year. This was the same year Ralph
Samson played. Good thing his high school was in AA school.

Ok, you forced me into it.

I struck out Anthony Richard "Tony" Conigliaro in his final at high
school at bat when I was a Freshman in high school.

So there.

Pffffhhhhhtttt.....

One of my aunts was set up for a blind date with Roger Staubach and she
didn't go. I missed out on having an Uncle Roger.

I had an Aunt who dated Tony Kubek.

The guy was a prick.

And I don't mind saying so publicly...

So? I had an aunt who lived in Chicago.

And, did she almost date anyone famous?

No, but when I was in high school, the manager of the local drive in
theater rented a room from us. That sure saved me a lot of money. And it
helped in a few other ways also.

My aunt (my dad's older sister) was a best friend of Linda Darnell, who
unfortunately was burned to death in either a house or hotel fire.

Well, I've only got one out of 5 left, and she's 87 and in poor health.
