Thanks XURFC and Dana's

On November 8th, the annual meeting of the Xavier Rugby Old Boys occurred. Usually the graduates ("the Old Boys") play the current team. Several injuries occur (usually Frank Dupps) and everyone remembers their glory days.

This year was a little different. The current team played and won the division three championship that day. Thus, no Old Boys game was played. However, the McCormick family prepared and auctioned off commemorative XURFC jersey's from circa 1991-1992. These were navy blue and white harlequin jerseys and were mine - and especially Brian's - favorites. We also had a green four leaf clover with "BDM" embroidered on the right sleeve.

Thanks to the generosity of several Old Boys, approximately $3,000 was raised for "The Brian McCormick Memorial Fund" at Xavier University. The McCormick family is extremely grateful and impressed!

As a funny aside, there was an after party at Dana's. "Pablo's cheesy tater tots" are now on the menu! Thanks to BJ and all the guys at Xavier's favorite bar.

God Bless to all.
