Robert Kreidler - Retired Associate Director of Athletics - Received your book last week and have read almost the entire book. I can't put it down when I start reading. It is terrific, very inclusive and well documented with great pictures. Todd Rothman '99 - Thank you for putting together such a great piece of work. It really helped enhance my sense of connection to the school and more so to its athletic program. It was great to see many of my old soccer teammates and coaches and brought back several great memories including the battle to move up to (and subsequent joy and success of the move) to D-I. Thanks for helping me feel like I was back in college again, if even for a brief moment. Linda Severo '94 - I received the book last week and think its awesome!
