News came in this weekend regarding the passing of HWS's Head of Sports Medicine, Doug Reeland, who had been struggling with cancer. Doug had served the Colleges since 1978, so if you were an athlete at any point in time in the past 33 years, your paths' probably crossed.
No arrangements have been posted to date, but I expect to see something in the next day or so. A recent picture of Doug is posted on the HWS.edu website (under "This Week in Photos" with the 1981 Hobart National Championship team that was honored back on 4/16). A link to the same is attached below:
