Our chapter extends deepest sympathies to Dennis’ family. He will be missed. The family requests that any donations should be made to the Lustgarden Foundation in Dennis’ name.
NY Metro ISOA’s Second Vice President, Randy Vogt was recently recognized for working his 8,000th game.
Partly because of verbal abuse from spectators, some referees never officiate 10 games. Many refs do not make it to 100 games and very few ever officiate 1,000 games. Yet, referee Randy Vogt has not only survived but has thrived on the soccer fields.
MR. 8,000 Syosset referee reaches unique milestone.
Congratulations Randy on quite an accomplishment.
Long time NY Metro ISOA member, Russell Huber will be inducted into the Adelphi University Athletic Hall of Fame at its 41st annual Hall of Fame Ceremony on Thursday, April 14, 2011 at the Ruth S. Harley University Center in the Thomas Dixon Lovely Ballroom.
From the Adelphi press release.

He found his most prominent success on the squash court, twice representing Adelphi at the NCAA tournament. He was also a four-year member of the baseball team, seeing action behind the plate and led the nation in saves as a goalkeeper on the soccer pitch his sophomore season.
Congratulations, Russell.
