Paula Masiulewicz set up a tailgate party for us at Sloan Park
before the Saturday night game. Paula went to many Duffer games when
she was little to cheer for her Dad Rick (Muzzy) who passed away on
September 1, 2017. The Duffers
Hockey team signed a condolence card for Paula and her
siblings. http://www.lopatka.net/

 Paula was able to give a plug to the Duffers Hockey team. Her Dad Rich "Muzzy" played with us for many years. We shared beers and stories about him. |
 |
 My daughter's friend Elisa joined us for a few innings at Sunday's Day game. |

 My wife called during the 4th inning to tell me that I was on TV. Paula's boy friend called to tell her that he put a video on Facebook. |
