Tomorrow I meet with Dr. Jim Dinger, longtime UConn polo coach. He has a ton of archives, photos and of course--stories--to share with me.
Now, I really need to hear from YOU!
You played for the UConn polo team? You currently play for the team? You took polo lessons? You are a UConn polo fan?
This is what I would love to know from you:
1. What do you love about UConn polo?
2. Who was your favorite pony and why?
3. Your favorite match?
4. Most memorable moments?
5. Any humorous "behind the scenes" stories?
...and any other nuggets you'd like to share. It's YOUR stories that give the book its heart!
My e-mail is soundthebuglestudio (at) charter.net
And THANK YOU!
Below is a photo I took of Moe, my favorite UConn polo pony. He was the ref's horse for this particular game, and was retired later that year. He was a superstar in the arena---I loved watching him stop on a dime, then spin around and fire on all cylinders to send the dirt flying. What a horse!
Most importantly, remember that the southpaws chapter is dedicated to me! Hahahahaha
