So who remembers pool parties at my house. One in particular got kinda out of hand. Seems like hundreds showed up. I had told my parents I was having a few friends over. They took it remarkably well
OK! I can't stand it! I confess! It was I who broke Tony's nose and not the other way around - we were actually playing water polo in the pool and I jumped up from the bottom to get the ball. Unfortunately Tony was swimming overhead at that moment and smash! Broken nose (Tony's).
Sorry to join the forum at this late stage. With regards to the tie in 1967 it was definetely against Croton Harmon on their field. I was there. Harry Rassman's injury was from too much beer early in the season and he sprained his ankle running down some street in P'ville. I was also indulging with the "bud" but was too out of it to run with him! The Panthers were down 7-0 with time running out.Coach K put Harry in as a wide receiver at the 50 yard line and he caught a pass in the end zone to tie the score at 7-7 and preserve the undefeated season! Here's to you Harry Rassman!!!
Here’s one from the Piano Bob archives – when I was twenty I toured with a group called ‘Up With People’ and we were playing in the Budokan in Tokyo. Before the show we were introduced to Mr. Mitsui and his son. (at the time the richest men in Japan and probably the world). There was a formal line to greet them and when I came to meet Mr. Mitsui, Sr. he asked me where I was from. When I told him I was from Pleasantville he exclaimed: “Presentvlle! I have been to Presentvlle! I was at a luncheon at Reader’s Digest”. I did not go into the whole Reader’s Digest was really in Chappaqua only their mailing address was in P’vlle routine.
Later in a group discussion the younger Mitsui told us quite vehemently that he was tired of the Martial Plan and wanted to foster their own army (absolutely true). This was before Japan’s economic explosion and it was a good thing for them his idea never took hold.
