    DG,

    You're welcome. ;-)

    Always like to pass along alumni news when I get them.

    BTW, you forgot to mention how well Venasky played at the Snoopy Tournament this year.

    I remember Fulghum and MacKenzie. Cunningham must not have seen much ice time at DU.

    Vizoroo:

    Yes. This year, Johnny Mac and Wayne Smith played for former Snoopy nemesis, the Michigan Wolverines 65 team - minus Red Berenson, who had prior commitments.

    If you followed my coverage on Twitter, I mentioned that the UM 65 team finished a disappointing third third in their age group. John and Wayne actually played pretty well for UM, but not well enough to help them win their age group. And yes, Berenson was sorely missed.
