\"2014_01_Pilgrim,<\/a>The boys varsity basketball team played MacDuffie on center court at the Basketball Hall of Fame.\u00a0 They ended up losing by 15, but put up a good fight and played without one of their top players (who was out with a sprained ankle).\u00a0 Matt Sulda \u201914<\/strong> played very well, as did Sam Blake \u201914<\/strong>.\u00a0 The court had remarkably little seating and overhanging levels blocked the sight lines for shooting.<\/p>\n

Following the game, a group of alumni and I went over to Max\u2019s Tavern for drinks. Everyone loved the new basketball pint glasses.\u00a0 Mike Jackson<\/strong> (trustee) and Jim Brennan<\/strong> (trustee) showed up after the game.\u00a0 Jim knows David Monroe \u201983<\/strong> through basketball.\u00a0 David continues to play competitive basketball in the Springfield area and has a couple of nephews who are pretty good.<\/p>\n

The other parents to attend were the Sulda\u2019s (Erik and Kim)<\/strong>.\u00a0 What nice people!\u00a0 They hung out the whole time and seemed to have fun.<\/p>\n

\"2014_01_Pilgrim,<\/a>Warren Barnett \u201903<\/strong> and Jon McGowan \u201903<\/strong> drove to the game together.\u00a0 Jon drove up from Rhode Island where he’s a wine distributor.\u00a0 We all started talking about the Sonoma Valley Alumni event and Jon suggested a few other vineyards for us to visit.\u00a0 He travels out to California a couple times a year to visit with wine reps.\u00a0 Both he and Warren were back last June for their Reunion.<\/p>\n

Ashley Picknelly Vassallo \u201903<\/strong> happened to be at Max\u2019s with a friend and stopped by to say hello.\u00a0 Ashley is starting her own photography business while working with MGM on bringing the casino to Springfield. Marlin Howard \u201963<\/strong> was also in attendance.\u00a0 Marlin owns a tax firm and said, \u201cThis will be my last chance to get out and have fun before tax season arrives so a little snow wasn\u2019t going to stop me!\u00a0 Besides, this was an easier drive than the West Hartford event” (which he attended as well).<\/p>\n

Marlin spent a lot of time talking with Jim Brennan, Mike Jackson and Courtney Miniter \u201903<\/strong>.\u00a0 Courtney graduated from college with a degree in architecture. She has since gone back to school to get a degree in exercise physiology and is working at Choate. She said keeps in close contact with a few of her Williston friends such as Justin Simons, Becky Hayden and Felicia Wilson.<\/p>\n

Overall, a pleasant night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
