During the years that I worked at Villanova University in the athletic department (1980-1984 while an undergrad, 1984-1995 as an employee) one of my best friends was the great Wildcat track and field coach, "Uncle Marty" Stern. In the years since I left the Main Line in May 1995, I don't get to see many of my fellow Wildcats as often as I would like, so it was a thrill to sit next to "Uncle Marty" last night at the 105th Annual Philadelphia Sports Writers Association awards banquet. In this photo, my friend "Uncle Marty" is at left while yours truly is at right, at the dinner last night.
