Dick played soccer, basketball and baseball for Windsor High School from 1941 - 1944 earning a total of 12 letters during his four year high school career.

In 1944, upon graduation from high school, Dick was invited to a Brooklyn Dodger tryout in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Although Dick performed exceptionally well, he had to excuse himself due to a previous commitment to the Marines. Dick served as a Marine from 1944-1946 including action assignments on Guadalcanal and Okinawa.

Dick returned to Windsor in 1946, and much to his surprise was immediately contacted by the Brooklyn Dodgers and eventually being assigned to the Dodgers Single-A team In High Point, North Carolina.

Dick had eventually worked his way up to the Big Leagues and played for "The Boys of Summer" in 1953.

Following his playing days, Dick managed in the minor leagues for four years and then scouted for the Phillies and Dodgers for 27 years. Dick was inducted to the Scouting Hall of Fame in 2001.

Dick has been a happy resident of Windsor for his entire life.

Judy was an outstanding scholar athlete who lived in Windsor her entire seventeen years of a spirited life with her parents, two older sisters, and two younger brothers, along with a menagerie of pets. To say Judy loved sports was an under­statement. Judy's highlights during her brief career included a state championship in field hockey 1978 and a second place finish in the Girl's State Basketball championships 1980. Judy was selected as an All Central Valley Conference in field hockey in 1979, and also was selected to the All-State second team in basketball for the 1979-1980 season. She held both the career and the single season record for rebounding at Windsor High School, and she was leading scorer for two consecutive years. Judy was known for her ferocious presence and domination around the boards throughout the conference. Judy also led the softball team in home runs, RBIs and runs scored her Junior year.

Judy was also driven academically in the classroom and in her Junior year she achieved the honor of induction into the "National Honor Society." Judy's kindness and enthusiasm for life lives on with her friends and family to this very day. Judy was taken away from us way too young in life, but will be remembered forever as a champion in every aspect of her life.

Jim's first love was hockey leading the Warriors while setting both school and state records as the state's scoring leader in 1974 and finishing second in 1975, while earning All-State honors. In his senior year, Jim decided to give football a shot and true to form as the starting quarterback, Jim threw for over 1800 yards, 16 touchdowns, and ran for three more. This feat earned him Honorable Mention All Connecticut Valley Conference.

Ah, but baseball turned out to be Jim's diamond sport (no pun intended), as an All­-State shortstop Jim helped lead the Warriors to the State Semi-Finals in 1975, batting .467, and was chosen First Team All-State Class "LL.'' Jim also continued to shine after high school, and in 1976 he was selected First Team at shortstop for the American Legion league, while batting .437, for the state finalist Windsor team.

Jim moved on to college, and in 1977 he was the starting 2nd baseman for the #1 Division III Marietta College Pioneers where Jim batted .324, was selected First Team All-Ohio Athletic Conference, First Team All Mideast Regional, while he competed in Div. III College World Series. Following the 1977 season success Jim's Marietta College team again was ranked the #1 Div III team in 1978, and Jim was chosen First Team All-Conference, All Mideast Regional, and voted runner up for MVP in the College World Series, batting .487 that season. He also earned First Team All American honors, and was the runner-up for National Player of the Year.

Leaving college early Jim signed a professional contract with LA Dodgers, and played for three more years between stints with the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres.

Jim retired in 1981 from baseball, and shifted his focus and energy to graduate with honors from the Army Aviation Flight Center, at Ft. Rucker, Alabama, in 1987. He would then go on to fly for the N.Y. National Guard for 13 years.

Gone but not forgotten Jim was inducted into the Marietta College Athletic Hall of Fame (Baseball) in 2004.

Barry Chasen has coached both high school and summer teams for 38 years. Barry's teams have won 36 championships and have had 22 runner-up finishes during his 38 years as a coach. Highlights include 2 Class LL Regional and State titles in baseball, Class "LL" runner-up in Girls basketball, numerous semi-final and quarterfinal appearances, 10 league titles, and 17 runner-up finishes in both baseball and girl's basketball. Barry is known for his emphasis on academics, fundamentals and discipline. As a coach at Windsor High School, he founded the Windsor Diamond Club, a group of baseball parents who, along with the players and managers, supported the team to play in Florida, California, Virginia, et.al. Over 100 of Coach Chasen's baseball and girls basketball players went on to play in college. He personally took many players to visit colleges, spending hours on the phone with coaches, helping to get his athletes an opportunity to play at the next level. Coach Chasen has received numerous awards along the way, but attributes his coaching awards to his athlete's success. He is known to say that any coach, who thinks s/he is the reason for the team's success, is only fooling him/herself.

Barry has been inducted into seven Halls of Fames: Norwich Sports Hall of Fame, Connecticut High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame, New York Military Academy Hall of Fame, Windsor Diamond Club Hall of Fame, American Baseball Coaches Association, and Hartford Twilight League.

Coach Chasen is most proud of the fact that almost all of his players who went on to higher education are now successful in their chosen fields today. He remains in contact with many of his former athletes, who know that he is there for them any time they need someone to talk to. To him, his players were more than athletes; he built a family atmosphere, and has attempted to maintain the bonds that were formed years ago. As a coach, he was known for asking his players the following on a regular basis, and for posting it in his locker room. "Are you a better player today than you were yesterday, but more importantly, are you a better person today than you were yesterday?" To him, the latter has always been more important in helping young people become productive citizens.

The 1979 Class "LL" State Championship Baseball team posted a 20-2 overall record, and went undefeated in the Central Valley Conference. The season began with a trip to Florida where the team played exhibition games with Tampa Catholic, Tampa Jesuit and Bishop Moore of Orlando, Florida.

The team had seven players on the All-Conference team and two on the All-District team, as no more than two could represent a school. For the season, the team stole 137 bases in 143 attempts, including the state final. They were ranked #3 in a mythical national high school poll, behind Whitehurst, North Carolina who went undefeated, 45-0, in two consecutive seasons, and Lakewood, California.

The team received contributions from all of the players during the season. It was a team that believed it could not be beaten; the players played that way and ultimately won the big prize, spurred on by that belief. The team motto for 1979 was often stated between players when things were not always going the Warriors way: PMA-Positive Mental Attitude. That attitude plus the players ability led to the success of the 1979 Class LL State Champions!

The following quote from the Channel 8 sportscaster best summarizes the 1979 state championship team. "I went to Quigley Stadium today to watch the Class LL final, and I watched Windsor H.S. put on a baseball clinic."
