Angell Field Ancients Founders’ Event—Post-event update 3/01/09
EVENT SUMMARY: Great event with oak tree planting on the Dish Hill; commemoration of the bronze plaque honoring deceased founders Jim Gere, Dave Stevenson, and Al Waterman; potluck lunch in the Sports Café; and speeches highlighted by keynote addresses by Don Carpenter (our de facto AFA event organizer for 3 decades who received the Golden Jock award and an honorary plaque) and Gene Haynes (our 4th and only living founder who received an honorary AFA t-shirt). Great spirit and camaraderie made even better by great weather.
DONATIONS: Thanks for donating to the Stanford Athletic Department, Magic Inc (the oak tree planting group), and the event donation jar in the Sports Café (with the latter donations being generous enough to cover the Café expenses). Donations can still be made to:
