My son Steve's team the Manchester, NH Amoskeag's won the Northeast U-19 rubgy tournament over the weekend. It was his final youth tournament. He's in the middle holding the Plaque. He also graduated H.S. last Friday and is joining the Coast Guard. He leaves for Coast Guard Boot camp in August. Sue and I are very proud of him.

Congrats Ron! Sounds like you raised a fine young man. 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

He's done you proud Ron!
Rugby is a fantastic team sport! Had several great years playing Rugby League and have friends that will last a lifetime along with a couple of injuries! Knees have gone but a small price to pay.
Hope he keeps in the game!

Good on ya Ron  As a parent there is no greater pride than having your offspring achieve in life. It is truely a reflection of the time and devotion of the parents in their life's work. Congratulations to Steve on his achievments and I wish him well for his future, which will no doubt be successful. And good on him for playing a great game."The game they play in heaven." Tell him to kick high, follow through and ruck hard!.

I bet you are proud of him. Rugby is a brutal sport, he must be a stud. Tell him we are proud of him for serving his country and thanks.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
