September 1; Muzzy passed away. He gave us more
laughs than any other Duffer.
He was born on May 20, 1935. My son Dan was
born on his birthday in 1970.
We shared a lot of
Muzzy
pictures in the last Newsletter.
This was 1997 when we brought up Robby Granato to give the
Bombers 2 Illinois ringers. We filled most of the coach seats and
avoided a fun tax. This is the year that Muzzy shocked Hayward
church goers when he came out of the church and boarded the bus with
toilet paper streaming out of his pants. Read
