Many thanks from Brian's family!

Thank you all for your generosity.  We raised over $2,200 for Brian’s Memorial Fund at the second annual  “have a drink with Brian & 300 of his closest friends” fund raiser held on Saturday, January 16th.  The money raised goes directly to needy XU students in financial need. It really does make a difference.

BTW, Dana's had their best day ever – by 50%!  BJ even had to get more beer thanks to you booze hounds. Pretty cool how Coach Mack came up to Dana's and saluted the crowd (I gave him a cup). Will post pictures later and will also auction off more XU gear soon. 

Many asked me to post the inscription of this year's cup. Well, it did its job this year and here it is:

SIDE “B”

“Let's do it for Johnny - sweep the leg - and not let up until the final buzzer rings and the nectar of the gods is flowing from Dana's taps...Oh, and lots of tater tots - love those things. Go Xavier - beat ud... again...”

Thanks to all who attended. Many of you came from out of town. My family and I greatly enjoyed reminiscing about Brian and hearing about his many exploits. Though we all miss Brian terribly, we have to relish the great day we all had. We had great weather for the second year in a row. The good guys won, we raised a ton of jack and many beers were consumed in honor of our victorious Muskies – and Brian.

Brian is humming!

God bless you all!
