Oregon State Wrestling Alumni Homecoming Meet - Jan. 3, Next Thursday!

Oregon State Wrestling Fans & Wrestling Alumni,

The next Home meet for the Oregon State Wrestling team will be next Thursday, Jan. 3 at 7 pm at Gill. It is also the Wrestling Alumni Homecoming as well as the Joe Wells Classic. Coach Wells was an Assistant Coach at Michigan for years before coming to Oregon to coach the Beavs at Oregon State.

So, if you are one of the Wrestling Alumni, or even just know one of the many alumni, please listen up! A group of other alumni have made a plan to get everyone together for this next home meet. The following letter from Len Kauffman contains more information on what you can do to participate.

If you are not one of the former wrestlers, but know one or more, please share this information with them as well. We'd like to have a large crowd on hand to welcome the #5 Michigan team to Gill. The Beavers could use a lot of enthusiastic support from their fans in the stands.

Now, here's Len's message:

Gentlemen, Merry Christmas to you all.

By now most of you know of Ron Iwasaki’s (‘67) effort to increase the turnout for OSU dual meets...and that the January 3rd Michigan meet is being billed as our Wrestling Alumni Reunion Meet (what’s that….WARM in the winter).  At this moment 20 (including spouses) have indicated they will show up (see list below).

There are actually THREE activities that day that require a head count.  Ron Sather (’74) is organizing a pre-meet social at 4:00 pm.  He needs a count in order to pick an appropriate venue (his “man cave” at home or perhaps a pub in town).  At the 7:00 pm dual meet, we will have a section reserved for alums and spouses.  We need a head count to rope-off enough seats.  Thirdly, alums are invited to The Fall Booster Club post-meet social.  Those who are not members of The Fall can attend for $5.00.  The Club must have a head count in order to prepare adequate food.

Some of us are member of The Fall.  Those who are not are encouraged to join even if you don’t go to the meets/social.  They do a great deal of work to support our sport.

So, we NEED THREE HEAD-COUNTS:

Pre-meet social (4:00)

Dual meet (7:00)

Post-meet (~8:30)

And we need these numbers soon…before year end PLEASE!!!!  Send replies to both Ron Sather and me.  Looking forward to a good turnout…see ya on the third.
