A photo of Joseph Randall of Dalton, KS - Born: December 8 1892

The first winner of what became known as the Triple Crown - winner of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont stakes - Sir Barton was bred in Kentucky. Ridden by jockey Johnny Loftus and owned by J. K. L. Ross, Sir Barton won all three races in the space of only 32 days (and there was another race, the Withers Stakes during that time as well!). In the first two races, he led the whole way. In the Belmont, he set a course record. He was retroactively named the 1919 Horse of the Year. He was retired to stud in 1921 and died of colic in 1937 at a ranch in Wyoming at the age of 21.

Jets vs Raiders, 1968 - the last two minutes of the game, in which the Raiders came from behind to win, weren't shown. The network cut in to show a remake of the movie "Heidi." A huge uproar ensued.

The photo was taken at a game between the VRU Select Side and the Potomac Union Select Side at the Washington RFC fields at Kenilworth Park in Washington, D.C. Ray Equi, John Mellish and Joe Seals were the VRU coaches. The game was in early November of 76 as part of the ERU challenge cup called the Familton Cup. I know it was then because it was before I grew my beard, which was in December of 76. Note that Ozzie Osbourne was still playing center. I would have to really dig to try to find documentation of the score, I can't even remember if we won or lost. Also significant is that the VRU team had three Eagles (Culpepper, Cook and Purvis) and two more who made the USA National trials by being on the ERU select side (Dickinson and Van de Castle). I say that the game was against the PRU, but it is possible that it was against the EPRU as well as there were four select sides at the field that day. Let me try to do some digging in my ancient files to see if I can find out. If it was against the Potomac team, they had Rob Bordley, Dan Wack and Mike Conroy on it, so there would have been 6 Eagles on the field that day in D.C., not an everyday occurrence that close to Virginia. The VRU team was: 1. John Fleming (Richmond) 2. Willie O'Keefe (Roanoke) 3. Clint Francis (Virginia) 4. Billy Bolton (Richmond) 5. Lance Van de Castle 6. Pete Sweet (Richmond) 7. Clarence Culpepper (Roanoke) 8. Jody Walker (Norfolk) 9. Dickie Cook (Virginia) 10. Rich Waddell (Roanoke) 11. Jim "Rabbit" Dickinson (Virginia) 12. Ozzie Osbourne (Norfolk) 13. Otis Purvis (Norfolk) 14. Bubba Cochran (Norfolk) 15. Doug Korber (Virginia) Didn't have any reserves, because that was back in the days when there was not such a thing. If you got hurt or left the field, the rest of your team played a man down. Thanks, Lance
