1970 Eagle

I scored a 1970 Eagle on eBay and got it today to add to my small collection.  When I get one of these, I always wonder who owned it originally.  No names, no other signings.  Oh well, sounds like something I would do.

I hope to get at least some of this scanned and posted on the website.  Though it may not be quick as I’ll probably have to spend night late nights to find the time.  But what a great group of Wayne Alumni!

Lieutenant Robert S. Witt

I was thinking about one of my neighbors growing up on N. Slocum Road.  Bob was 8 years older than me, and a year older than my oldest brother, Tom.  He graduated from Wayne in 1966.

I had just started my new job and heard about this on the radio, and recall exactly where I was that day in September 1976. He was not a crew member on this flight, just catching a ride to another base, as were many of the passengers. Another fatality on this flight was from Marion, NY. Bob had a young wife and children, was just getting started in life and probably was headed for a long career in the Air Force. I found this image of a memorial that someone has erected near the crash site at a remote area in eastern Michigan.

I’ll always remember him as the big brother of the neighborhood.

Wayne Alumni in Pro Sports

In addition to being a good basketball player, Chris Collins also played pro soccer in the NASL with the Dallas Tornadoes and in the MISL

He was among the initial inductees in to the Wayne Central Soccer Hall of Fame.  There were no All Greater Rochester teams selected for soccer in 1974.

If there are other alumni who played pro sports, please send me info!

Blankenberg 2018 AGR 1st Team Selection

Congratulations to Logan Blankenberg for being a 2018 First Team selection in the D & C All Greater Rochester basketball team.

There was a mistake in their write-up however.  It was not the first time a Wayne player was selected to the first team.  Chris Collins was a first team selection in 1974.

I pointed out the error to the authors and the Wayne Athletic director.
