THE BOYS TO MEN OF '68

".........Tommy Meyers who transferred in to PHS in the Summer of 1967. He was the missing link and one of the best athletes that I played any sport with. You cannot forget Sonny Hall either in an age without sports enhancing drugs and steroids"..... , wrote Phil Bruzas, in a recent email. On the subject of sports, Phil also informs us that Mr. Mac is to be inducted into the New Britain Sports Hall of Fame in April of 2008 along with Artie Corsaletti '67. If it weren't for Phil many of us wouldn't know that New Britain had a Hall of Fame.We have 3 members of the class of '68 who already hold a place on this prestigious list. Tommy Myers, Sonny(Willie) Hall and Greg Wysocki.
John Liljestrand, and Bill Eaton, who were both coaches at Pulaski also have a place in the Hall of Fame. You can read about our very own sports heroes by clicking this link
As a side note; Phil Bruszas, our true class historian, urged me to contact Mr. Mac. Those of you who admired Mr. McNamara, will be happy to hear that he is still going strong and his slightly whacked sense of humor is intact. The only thing that may keep him from our class reunion is an archaeological dig in Greece! Some things should never change, thank goodness.
Thanks again, Phil. You are definitely one of the Reunion Committee's heroes. For those of us who are far away, you are our link to the people and places of '68. If I've forgotten anything, please let me know.

Rosann:

Tommy Meyers and Sonny Hall show up in Wickipedia if you pull up notable people of New Britain too.
