(I think it was Amherst) ... I really liked the way (Dad) Bill worked
hard on the ice ... and he *really* became my favorite player when one
day, at a Special Olympics meet in the fieldhouse, he shows up in full
clown regalia and encouraged and entertained the kids for as long as the
meet lasted!

Funny how people can have favorites.  I took a quick liking to Ray
Jacques' play.  During an intermission early in his 1st year, I begain
chatting with this stranger about how well Ray saw plays develop.  He
gave me a funny look. While I was explaining how hockey was new to me,
he let on that he was Ray's dad.  We stood together and watched Ray for
four wonderful years, though his senior year, under new coach Shawn
Walsh, was not without some turmoil.  Ray Jacques remembers his time at
Maine and returns sometimes and has made significant donations as well,
as I recall.

Offseason cheers, wayne
