Big soccer news out of the state of Utah. While his Dad was helping lead the Judge Memorial Girl’s soccer team to a state title, Elliot scores a full-time gig with a Major League Soccer Club. Real (pronounced “ray-al”, like the Madrid club) Salt Lake has hired the boy to work in their Marketing/Communications Department. Hey that’s two Fall’s (Gary) working for a major league team…though the Yankees and oft-losing RSL exist on opposite ends of the sports spectrum.
RSL finished it’s third year here, and failed to make the playoffs again. Elliot had an internship this past season (April to Oct) and they loved having him…hired him first chance they got. His title is now Public Relations Coordinator – e-mail efall@realsaltlake.com He’ll stay in school and work part-time til the ’08 season starts. After he earns his degree (economics ) in May he starts full-time at the club.
He’s pictured here holding up the Rocky Mountain Cup trophy, making the trip to Colorado where RSL beat the Rapids to win their annual competition.
Meanwhile, the Judge Memorial Girl’s team (I’m still assistant coach) startled the Utah high school scene by going on a blistering run through the playoffs – giving up just one goal in four games – to capture the state title. The team had begun the season 1-6, but turned things around and beat three number one seeds to win State. It’s our third state championship in six years.
Awesome news re: Elliot (“The Boy”). Let me know when he’s in a position to consider my application for a job. I need a backup plan.
Great picture of you, Ken. Was it posed?
Congrats to E and you both.
Great job to your team Kenny and really, really GREAT and fun job for Elliot!
I agree with the picture of you too Kenny, but perhaps you should stay out of the sun…those crows feet are really showing (ha!ha!).
BTW, where are the pix from Bucks Cnty? Send me the group shot at the bridge. My gfall@guffaw.com address should be able to take the fullsize image file. And then I can put it on my webserver for others to take down.
Gary. I will post a few pics from Bucks County this weekend. I’ll also e-mail you several at full size. I apologize for being two months behind. The picture of me isn’t posed…although I’ve been called a “poser.” Actually we hung out on the field for ten minutes with hundreds of cameras clicking and the coaches and girl’s all smiling ear to ear. Wasn’t hard to get happy photos.
It really is a great shot. Do you still coach cuz you like the clothes you get to wear?
the emoticon is for Marilyn.
That’d be great if you could send the pix. I’d like to frame one.
I keep forgetting about the emoticons. Guess I should have used one for my sarcastic remark about Kenny’s crows feet. For those family members who don’t know the story behind that, Kenny made a far worse crack about me in PA! He came up to me the afternoon we were out looking at covered bridges and explained to me how he mentioned to Lisa the night before how great I looked when they first met us at the bar. But, now that we’re out in the daylight he can see how I do look my age. That was another story that got told to Mary’s family on Thanksgiving…Mary thought it quite hysterical!
