Dear Alumni,

Hope all is well.

Just a quick update:

• The girls’ lacrosse program now spans 2^nd grade through 12^th, and of course the alumni portion as well.  We have experienced continued success at the high school, in a large part due to the growing success of the youth program.  At the high school, in the past 2 seasons we’ve had All-Americans: Jess Lane in 2005, Allie Duclos in 2006 (Allie is also on the USA U-19 training squad!), and Vik Kuhns in 2006.  But of course the success goes far beyond this—solid teams and wonderful people.
• As for me, I’m in my 17^th year as head coach of this wonderful program!  I can still remember the 54 players and me as the only coach back in 1991!  Teaching is still wonderful and new/fresh, but I really look forward to the spring!  Peg, my wife, is developing her massage therapy/yoga practice (basically a spa at the house!) and Taylor’s in 3^rd grade and loves horses, softball L, and life.

With Lo’s (Lauren Gallagher, nee Steinnecker) and my sister Jackie’s help, we’re trying to keep the Alumni Directory current.  Take a look at the web site (swlacrosse.org) and let Jackie know if there are things that you want changed, added, etc. (JCusson@cox.net).

Also, get out your calendars—our annual Alumni Game: Thursday, May 31 (Home-SWHS J) at 5pm. We’ll play on the front field of the High School. We would love to see you all. Please let me know if you’ll be able to attend or not (coachduke@hotmail.com)

Let us know what you’re doing, whether you’ll be able to play in the game or not, and any other pieces of info—basically, keep in touch!

Thanks, Duke

P.S.  Thanks, Lauren and Jackie, for all of your help!

P.P.S. Please pass this along to other alums that might not be on the distribution list. Thanks.
