Thanks, beachn4fun!

One other little bit of “notereity” that I think is a fun story. I played defensive back at Princeton (falls of 1967-1969) and got 12 interceptions in my career. 18 years later, my son is a freshman at Princeton and attending one of the football games and he hear’s the announcer say “with that interception, Cain ties the career interception record of ReleaseTheHounds, Class of 1970.” Brad calls me up with this news — I had never been told that I had a career record... and didn’t realize it until the day it was tied... And it was broken the next weekend!

One other fun part of this story: the guy who broke my career interception record was Dean Cain — the guy who ended up playing Superman on TV in the 1990’s. My three kids followed me to Princeton (I always say that I was very proud to have my 3 kids get into Princeton but even MORE PROUD to have gotten 3 CONSERVATIVES out of Princeton) and they liked to say that it took Superman to beat Dad’s record!

Yours,
ReleaseTheHounds
