This blog is being used for a book we'll be giving to Dave the night of the party. This book will be a collection of well wishes, stories, tributes, etc from all his friends, former players, coaches. It's very simple - like signing a yearbook. You can be as creative or simple as you want. Don't be left out. If you want to be in Dave's yearbook, you need to post your note by MAY 14th! Just email patrickdugg@gmail.com with your contribution and we'll post it for you.

Dear Dave,

Came to know Coach Sullivan after your legendary status had already been established, and soon came to know why. My lasting impression of your coaching that team in 2004 was how you took a group with varying abilities and made them a real "team", giving them each an identity of their own and a role they could excel in. You managed playing time, egos and parental expectations so well that each kid thought that he was the star of the team. That's a magician, disguised as a coach. Ryan had such a blast on that team and learned what a class act was. Thanks for all your efforts.

Bill, Karen and Ryan Hatton
