The second photo; I agree with Jeff accept I might be the jumper with Jeff Lamont as the first unknown as described by Jeff's list. Also, the second unknown is either Dennis (Jason) Prokopowitz '81 or JC Dodson '80. We typically lined up - JC (Prop), Mark R (1st Jumper), Jason (Prop), Mark P (2nd Jumper), Flanker, Jeff Lamont (3rd Jumper), Flanker. Therefore, I would guess the shorter player with back to camera is JC. Likewise, I'm guessing Jason is down low between Mark R and I (hidden from picture) ready to support as I come down with ball. So if this is correct:

From Left to Right: Tom Jee '80, Jeff Richards '80, Jeff Lamont '81, Mark Ploederer '81, Mark Roling '81 (red hair, back to the camera), JC Dodson '80 (back to the camera).

Guy jumping is Mark Pleoder (sp?) class of '81. The closest with back to camera is Mike Cartney.. let me dig out my year book for the other.. Red head is Piehl?(maybe)

From Left to Right: Tom Jee ‘80, Jeff Richards ‘80, Unknown, Jeff Lamont ’81, Unknown, Mark Roling ’81 (red hair, back to the camera).

Is that Tom Jee in the back row on the right side?


Thanks Harry. Believe I'm the scrumhalf. Stiz John G. Stizza, Col, USAF
