January 1972

In the summer of 1983, the Duffers rounded up their teen age sons and entered the Downers Grove men's league.  They won the league and started a Duffer tradition.   
Nine years later, in the summer of 1992 their teen age sons were in their 20s they added a daughter to the roster and repeated the championship and swept through the playoffs. 
Last summer the results were the same with some big goals by Muzzy, Haryey and Beak.
Last week the Young Duffers faced Tel-Labs with a chance for revenge.  You see the last time they played Tel- Tabs Tweedy was forced to play goalie and they lost.   A loss would have dropped the Duffers into a tie for first.  We can't have that.  The Duffers had all of the guns out for this one, and a real Goalie.  Chris Mazurk and Mike Spillman had two goals each.  as the Duffers finished with a 12-2-1 record. 
The NYPDs won their first 2 playoff games last week.  They downed the third place NCC easily but the forth place Riddlers loaded up their roster to give them a good game.  They had guys that could keep up with Paul!  We won 6-4 with an open net goal.
The NYPDS won the play off championship Monday night as they downed Tel-Labs 6-4.

   1996 Picnic
Bill Giffune was forced to miss his first Duffer picnic since he joined us.  He made sure the newly painted grill was at the picnic thanks to Tweedy and his new pick up.
As you can see from the picture above, everybody was waiting for Klinger's command.
   The Grill was finally removed from the trailer when Nick the Hammer took command. 
The King was also missing.  He said he had a Lucrative Load, but Duffer history shows that he hasn't been to a picnic since he collapsed Fred's $1.99 lawn chair in 1994.  He might have a lawn chair phobia.

Saturday August 3rd is a date to remember.  Every Duffer is welcome to join us on the Beak Deck at 6:30.  We will celebrate Tommy Z's last week of freedom.
