But first, a little bit about Carl...

l to r:  Carl Mucha, Ray Karenas, Hal Savage, Mike Stefanski

This is when you realize how old you really are, and you should always write stuff down.  Played from Fall of 1973 to Fall 1977 at flyhalf. Was select side: Blackhawk Union v. Monkstown 1976. Didn't get invited to Midwest tryouts, he owed Augie $5.00 for the Monkstown T shirt. ( He uses that collection philosophy today.... ) Officially, he kicked too much against ND for his liking. We won.

Hosted the single greatest fund raiser ever. The Pig Roast across from Manchester Hall. George Cederberg "provided" the meat with a single gunshot to the head....of the pig. Served as ISURFC Selection committee 75, 76 Confirm with Jeff Blyle....Roomed with Mark Dobek ( Chama ) George Bartmann ( Farmer ) at Fell Hall (International House)

He thought he was a captain, must have been concussed....he talked to A LOT of referees without getting tossed, and tried to kill George LaBanca when he played for the Blues...confirm with Barlow.

Intramural softball champions..... 1975? Remember those guys? Hilscher, Laskowski, Flaws, Bonczyk, Karenas, Swiatowick, Charlie....... No gloves, screw the TKE's....

Lead the Fell Hall Rising Sons to their first ever Intramural Football victory, and a Semi Final spot in the Playoffs. 73...Lost to Cal Korth (rest in peace).

Teammates included : Bartman, Dobek, Glenn Eirich ( Spike ), and a host of Asian, South American and African nationals that still don't understand why we touched the ball with our hands.

Graduated with the first ever class in Criminology (Penology) 1977.

Married ( Diane ) 1979. 2 Children: Brian, 27, Amanda Adamick, 30
