Really miss attending a DHS football game on a chilly Saturday afternoon then heading to Benny's for a beer and burger.

Happy Birthday, Morrie!! Hope you had a great one!!

Jim Morrison on September 1, 2020 8:28 PM

Thanks Mark- I will have a short one for you--or maybe two

Just read that New Canaan lost 90% power. I have a pack of "D" cell batteries I can give them (at cost of course). I can't believe I will be 70 next week. What the hell happened.

Sorry to hear about Jed selling Funeral Home. Apparantly there is stiff competition!

Following CDC guidlines that alcohol kills covid-19 I have been doing my best to follow their suggestion. Canadian Club works best.

Heuvel, you left off 2 boys' hockey state championships (and one runner-up). Paul

Heuvel on July 7, 2020 9:12 AM

Paul- great catch. Will let Webmeister know. Before those 2 hockey championships it went all the way back to 1969!

And a reminder that Class of 69 has the record for the most beers consumed for our skipday at Pound Ridge. A record which I tried to keep with my 4 years in the Marines of which I only remember 3 years

In additon to their high academic rating, how about the level of atheletic accomplishments of DHS? Pretty great for a town of that size. Since New Canaan and Greenwich, relatively comparably populated towns, are also high up both lists what's the deal with Fairfield County? Something in the water? Impressive stats by any measurement.

On a side note, bigs thanks to Heuvel for his excellent work maintaining this site. He still has the Spirit of '69!

Hope everyone's OK during this nightmare of a Twilight Zone episode. A douchebag on the other side of the world eats a bat and the world takes a shit. Breathe carefully!!

Webmeister on May 22, 2020 2:25 PM

Mark- How right you are about athletic accomplishments!

Haven't seen Heuvel in awhile. Said something about heading out to Ken Osmond's memorial in Mayfield.

All be well!!

With any luck he'll connect with Wally and the Beav!

Heuvel on June 29, 2020 11:46 AM

Tink- Did see those guys. Heard Whitey passed away which is sad. Lumpy (Rutherford) showed up an hour late!

Use to love to watch Bobby Staack play. He had a complete game, including a nice outside shot. Kathy Kraig's brother (Bruce?) had a nice shot too.

Still can't find any frozen french fries!

Patti Craig on May 9, 2020 11:48 AM

'Thought of you yesterday, John. Bought the last bag of frozen french fries at the market!

Patti Craig on April 19, 2020 11:42 AM

'Made a quick trip to the market yesterday, too, for chicken, brocoli and TP. When I got home I discovered that the brocoli was actually jelly donuts. Hate it when that happens.

Heuvel on April 16, 2020 10:28 AM

With my diet going in the tank hanging near the kitchen, I went to the store and bought the healthiest stuff I could find - broccoli, strawberries, carrots, bananas, etc and made a delicious smoothie!

Haven't been doing much-Nancy and I were playing cards but she caught me cheating last night so that done with.
