Homecoming was a perfect day to remember Lud and celebrate our game. We all gathered together prior to the kick off and supported Clare with a tight circle in the middle of the field. A few words were shared with arms around Clare then we filled the Lud Cup with golden pilsner and passed it around with Clare getting the first deep drink. We could now once again play the game with the same joy and committment Lud once knew.

June 5th Jay Boyd emailed me and informed me that he met up with Rob Brown and Brian Hightower in Atlanta for a Super League match Aspen Gents v Life University. The Aspen Gentlemen are presently on a tear, anihilating their opponetnts. Hightower played a little but is recovering from knee surgery, nevertheless, Brian had some ghosting runs down the touchline before retiring to the touchline.

The day was perfect and the reunion match was a joy. The Alumni prevailed with grace,gile, and treachery over the eager and enthusiatic undergrads. Thank you to all the returning alumni for supporting the event whether you played or not, we do it again next year.
