Bio: After a “brief” retirement back playing and with the Grey for the first time. Having a great time. I am lucky to have found such a tremendous group of guys to continue my rugby playing days with. Only regret is when a big fat guy from Gentleman of NY fell on my shoulder, prohibiting me from playing in the most prestigious golf tournament north of Augusta, the Brown Bag Open. Can't wait to play next year. Tip to anyone if Captain Lou comes up and asks for a favor 10 minutes before game time, tell him you left your whistle at home. Truth is I was only too happy to oblige. Anything to help out the Grey.(Norbert is referring to a match in which he was asked to referee a period, only to learn that the Grey can whine with the best of them.)
