Country:  | Wow ! You Americans know how to make a graduation party.
We don't even receive our diplomas directly from the hands of the principal... We receive it by mail ! The lone party that is made is in a reserved restorant (generally in a "high-class" hotel) and that's it. Nothing more.
I don't regret I didn't went to mine when I graduated from High School. | |

| I wish there was something like that in the UK. We just get our A-Level results in the post  I'll be graduating from my BA course in July, I pretty much walk up there, shake the Chancellors hand, and clear off - again, my actual certificate comes in the post. Im only going cos my mum and dad want to see it, otherwise I'd save the time and the 100 and odd mile journey back up here and go to my MA graduation next year instead.

I stopped playing about 2 years ago, I keep saying I'm going to try to get back into it. In 86 I had a training camp invite for the Saginaw Gears (I think they also go by the Generals). At 27 I would of been the oldest guy there. My second love is hockey, aviation is first, the wife, well, #3 isn't all that bad
Where did you play semi pro?

Country: | Wow, FBJ! Many years ago I saw a game between the Saginaw Gears and the Dayton Gems. It ended up with a bench clearing brawl. Great game!

Country: | Could be, but this was back in the 70s. I was pretty young and at the time, didn't really know much about the game. But the fights were great!

Country:  | Congratulations to your son Les - better gear yourself up those phone calls asking for more money when he's at Uni though! Beer, girls, parties - it's a busy life! | |
