Since I lived in Connecticut it was pretty cool having a real home team to follow .Names like Worthy Patterson and Art Quimby joined my list of sports heroes. But it wasn’t until the next year after my older brother joined the Marines and I inherited his radio that I discovered i could listen to a game . . That was 70 years ago . On Saturday my son and I met a boyhood friend of his , at the FF , that he hadn’t seen since 8th grade . His friend reminded me I took them to a UConn game in 1979-80 in New Haven . He mentioned they’ve come a long way. * The Korean War had recently concluded an event that was huge in my world [/QUOTE]
