Unfarkin real !!! Mark Valley is a friend of the family He went to school with my kids and his 2 sisters are actresses too . theyt are in NY and La and doing plays and commercials

Gary Goolden and Wayne Houmiel ( Football with Valley ) and Valley are all friends . Pinky was AWESOME guy he coached m y kid . My kid was track . XC and footbal played 4 yrs at UB in track and XC . The queen was a Jr High librarian there and One of my ski buddies is Plimpton the principal who also worked in football.

Damn -- what small world .Glad to find out -- we both probably know many of the same people

Clarkie must have come on right after Goolden to coach Hockey . Denio was a "horse" in the late 70's in hockey he lives 3 houses up from me and we're pretty tight too.

I know Mark. He and I hung out during the summer at weight training when my brother was a senior playing football for Mike. Plimpton was coaching when I was there, football as an assistant. Plimpy will know my family well.

I see Wayne when I go up all the time. I stay at his brother's camp which use to be his parents. When you see him, tell him Timmer's youngest brother said hello and see at you camp for the wedding.

I transferred soph year to UB where I met my wife and then went back to CU for Phd. Played hockey at CU as afrosh and then continued at UB. My defensive partner at UB was a Red Raider. Dave Loffler, Doug's nephew.

Tommy was mucher younger, he may have been aoround my nephew's age 39ish or older. I am getting old. Few brain cells left from the beer blasts at CU.

We have the yellow camp at Jeff's. Sue and Jeff called the woman that has it every year for that week and she did not so we got it. That is so funny how you know Wayne. When we see him at camp it is for the fried dough mega breakfast.

Jerry is a friend of the family. He has been to my house in Boston when my older brother had surgery at Mass General years ago. He brought his kids down. It was in the mid 90's. Not good time for my family. Another story.

Smiths lived on Proctor Ave. Classmate that has an ortho practice in LP.

Coles. Father was a teacher. The son was my tailback and helped break the assist record for hockey. He went Cornell on a hockey scholarship.

Denoncourt. I played hockey with him. His wife was a classmate also is the pharmacist at Kinney's

This goes to show that the six degrees of separation is real.

Bill was a very close friend. He and I always fought for the number 1 spot in class. I beat him but I was 3rd and he was 4th. Two girls ended up ahead of us. At least I was ahead of him. When he was in the Army, he did sometime at the Presido when my wife and I worked for Intel. We saw him a few times.

Dave Cole ended not playing hockey after freshman year. He met his future wife and lost his scholarship as far as I know.


We must know each other or heard of the families. This is too freaky.

Yeah u KNOW the Burg -- hell everybody knows everybody !! :D:D. It's always interesting to me that our best and often brightest head to other locations to make their way in the world BUT man whenever they can they hightail it back here . My kids are in Manhattan and Greater Boston but freaking love it here .

Everytime me and the Queen investigate moving to the Glens Falls ?LG region they piss n' moan and the grandkiddos really love the River and the Seaway Festival oh and Titus BTW :D but i ain't taking THEM to Hell's Kitchen :stirpot:

A recent phenomenon is that several of your vintage have returned home from metro areas to live here and either telecommute and in some cases are airline pilots and can hitch rides from Ottawa or SYR airports .

We still live in a big ole Dutch Colonial in town -- we love the old joint

Love some of the old houses along the Crescent. Augsbury's old house. I still can not believe how cheap that sold for. Larry Langley's house next Jeff's place was a teal too. BTW, since you are familar Jeff's place, my brother's camper is the first one on the left when you turn in the property.

Where do you golf mostly BTW? Partridge Run? That is where we play mostly when we are up.

I play mostly at new course at Brier Hill - love the new baCK 9 --'SPECIALLY THE LAST 3 IN THE WOODS .
Also play Waddington and the CC here . Play a month in the fall in the LG / Glens Falls region and over near you in 495 land -- play in Westminster and a shorter course Chelsmford CC about 5 miles from my daughters place in Littleton.

Funny u mention's Augie's house.

We almost bought the one on the Library park on the River 3 yrs ago. -- Freaking standstone mansion all done over 9 brs and 9 marble Baths and a 1600 sf carriage house with full English gardens and a 3 rd floor the entire length of whicjh is a media room with towers that look out over the River from the International Bridge to Lighthouse Point all for 315K .-- go figure

I was trying to get my son and DIL both Hospital Pharmacists to move back here from Manhattan and figured me and the Queen would take the first floor suite :D -- but alas couldn't budge them from their brownstone a block off Cent Park in the west 80's . Its been in her family for decades and is a super location for them . It was TOO damn much house for me and the Queen so we stayed put :D
