NOBS WORLD, AUGUST 30, Elaine Rhys-Jones

Ladies and gentlemen.  The fraternal community of rugby is a wonderful thing and all kinds of people make it so.  Elaine Rhys-Jones was one of those people.  Her contribution to the Hamilton Hornet's and the rugby community at large cannot be measured.  Elaine, the wife of our old team mate and friend Dai Rhys-Jones passed away last Saturday.  Our condolences and prayers go out to Dai and his family.  Details for visitations and funeral arrangements are below.   Craig
