| I graduated from Fair Lawn High School in Bergen County NJ in 1957 and Seton Hall University in 1961. I retired after a 33 year career with the Federal Government in various components of the Department of Health and Human Services. I currently serve as President of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Alumni Association. Throughout all of this I have been a high school football junky, attending virtually all of the games of the CUTTERS of Fair Lawn High until moving to Pennsylvania in late 1997, and then following the MUSTANGS of South Western in York County PA ever since. I have been writing the SOUTH WESTERN MUSTANGS GRIDIRON article since 1998, as well as a companion article briefly summarizing all of the games involving York and Adams County teams. My twin brother, Dick, covers the CUTTERS of Fair Lawn High and my blog at http://mustanggridiron.blogspot.com is dedicated to the fortunes of the MUSTANGS and the CUTTERS. |
