Singing in the rain at Shelford; Tex Byrd and the haunted house; We are the Warriors at Twickenham, flying from one English Base to another via Germany!

Al's classic line "I got them here and the AF can get them home", which prompted a huge thank you to General Brown, Brad's father, for getting the team to England and to the Nationals (although the team had to hitchhike back from Nationals in Davenport to Offitt)

Regarding the loss to Berkeley: Their fullback was Mick Luckhurst, who later kicked for the Atlanta Falcons. On several occasions he chased down one of our kicks and just before being tackled by our wing, kicked the ball backward over his head about 30 meters and into touch. Really frustrating. We were in it until the final whistle. From Wikipedia: Luckhurst was born on March 31, 1958 in Redbourn, Hertfordshire, he attended St Columba's College, St Albans in his home county before going on to attend St. Cloud State University in Minnesota and the University of California at Berkeley, where he starred in rugby as well as American football. He was a key player in leading the Bears to their first national collegiate rugby title in 1980. He also held the record for the longest field goal in California history for many years, a 54-yard boot against Oregon State in 1979

Fred Origel and Paul Frappier were part of the National Championship boxing team.
