Re: NOBs News: GITS Game Details

For those of you interested in car pooling, we can meet at Sherwood.  We will leave Sherwood by 11:15 sharp.

I will be at Sherwood and be able to offer a ride.  

Just a reminder there are no change facilities at this field.

Subject: NOBs News: GITS Game Details

Sunday’s game info with the GITS….Ray tells me he has been working with the Deodoro field crew prepping the field.  I think he also called in the Rio pool people to get it to look green!  There is still room for a few more players, subs are good to have!

KO @ 1:00, About 1 hour travel time from Burlington (assuming no serious traffic issues).  I checked for closures and did not see any, if you know of one that may affect the drive in from the west let me know and I will share.  

East York Collegiate

650 Cosburn Ave

Toronto ON M4C 2V2

Canada

Food and drinks at the Kilt & Harp (2046 Danforth ave)

Look forward to seeing everyone out – they have promised cooler weather.

Phil

PS – There will still be touch at Sherwood on Sunday.

NOBs News: Mike Moroney

David asked me to pass on the following….

NOB’s,

Yesterday Dermot Fogarty and I visit with Mike Moroney at the Sunrise Assisted Living Home on Erin Mills Parkway just south of the 403 in Mississauga.

Mike is in pretty rough shape with a brain tumour and Parkinsons. However when we arrived there at 11am he was waiting for us in a wheelchair in a guest area. 

 

While Mike has difficulty speaking, and the Parkinsons means that he has little facial expression, it was evident that he was understanding our conversation. We talked about rugby games of the past, golf and people that we know in common. We spent an hour with him, and in the end he thanked us for coming.

Mike does not receive many visitors and a visit from NOB’s friends evidently lifted his day. I would like to encourage any of the NOB’s who played with Mike, or know him, to spare an hour and drop in to visit him. I would advise you to go with another person as an hour with a basically uncommunicative person is hard work on your own. If someone wishes to go and does not have a partner either Dermot of I would accompany you.

Please contact  Mike's wife Elaine at 905-601-8756, or emoroney@bell.net to set up a time. The best times are 11am until noon, or 5 to 6pm.
