   Good question, Jon!

   That would be the "Marine Toys for Tots Foundation".  I too hope they
   are there tonight, as I enjoy seeing the young Marines and asking a
   question or two of them ...  and giving to their worthwhile (and IRS
   recognized) charity!

   Since Iona is 3-6 in the MAAC and has yet to win in 6 games outside
   the MAAC ...  and Maine has given up only one goal in three games to
   other MAAC teams ...  I look for a Jimmy Howard shutout (no post this
   week on who the goalie will be;  sorry :-) ). Prediction: 8-0.  (Yes,
   I'm looking past Iona to ...  St.  Nick).

I'll be there ...  and hoping for a good end-of-semester turnout.
Plenty of tickets should be available, so just show up at the Alfond
tonight to cheer on our very good team!

cheers, wayne
