Being the  son of a dairyman, Im an example of the rare baby that was born in Hamilton’s community general hospital. Grew up in the southern Oneida county countryside, an area I never wanted to leave in my youth. Accepted to my dream school in Cuse, got cold feet for several reasons and went to Bonaventure, which was a great choice for me in the end. Enlisted in the Army after college, spent 6 years at Bragg (half overseas) and have worked civil service at a local military base since my medical separation. I’ve now been in North Carolina for about as long as I lived in NY.

I still have yet to go to a game of any kind in the dome other than HS playoffs. No one in my immediate family were sports fans, and the farm was the priority. My initial fascination with sports came that fateful couple of years in 86 and 87. I don’t know how one could grow up in the area during that time and not be Cuse fans. The move to the ACC has allowed me and my family the opportunities to attend several games over the years here in NC.

Cautionary tale: be careful about raising ardent Cuse fans from a distance because you might be looking at a daunting trip. My oldest is now a junior in the engineering department. He only applied to Cuse and NIT State, and NCSU was never a serious consideration in his mind. My hope was to get up for a family weekend, but COVID protocols his first two years, prevented us from going up. Maybe next year…
