DHS Sits Atop CT LL Poll
The Darien Blue Wave jumped to the top of Connecticut’s LL league with an impressive win over Danbury on Saturday. Darien is currently undefeated at 7 – 0.
Danbury held a 23 – 20 lead and a first down on the Wave 31 yardline with less than 7 minutes remaining. But a defensive stop on 4th down gave Darien the turnover. Two plays later Darien connected with a 69-yard TD bomb to lead at 26 – 23. The Blue Wave defense stepped up with 2 interceptions in Danbury’s final drives.

DHS Homecoming Win
The Darien High football team continues to amaze its older alumni. No one under 30 remember such successful teams, state rankings, undefeated seasons. At least not in football! The Blue Wave currently stand at No. 4 in the state rankings with a 5-0 record, defeating Trinity Catholic/Wright Tech by the lopsided score of 51 – 20.
Darien scored first with a safety at the 4 minute mark. By halftime the score was 23 – 0.
A wild start to the second half saw the two teams combine for four touchdowns in less than three minutes. Darien returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and Catholic then answered by returning the ensuing kick 94 yards for Trinity’s first TD. Darien then threw a 26 yd TD score and after Trinity fumbled the ensuing kickoff, scored again with a 12 yd touchdown pass.
Darien now turns its attention to No. 3 Greenwich HS next week.

Greetings from Mt. Katahdin!
|
Connie Tappan (now Connie Tappan Clancy) lived next door to Mardie Porter on Briar Brae Road. She moved away after Second grade, but the friends stayed in touch. Now living in Denver, Connie and husband Ed wanted info about climbing Mt. Katahdin in Maine. So, Mardie made the arrangements and they spent more than a week in Maine, and 3 days in Baxter State Park, home of Katahdin. After several days of hiking other trails there (weather rainy) they had the perfect day to hike Katahdin (9/5/2019).

Shot of trip out west during summer of '69 when we hitchhiked to California. Mark Tinker's dad bought us the car to roam around California and back to CT. Thought I lost this. Great memories from that trip. Those were the days! -George Wehmann
