Gentlemen , and the Aardvark Brotherhood,

Here are 19 Comments that I got back from the Old Boys and Current Players and from what everybody is saying about Sunday Hall of Fame dinner---I believe we should run this event in 2011
to kick off the Aardvark Rugby Season---Everybody had a great time and without the Board of director support this event would not have happen
I want to thank you from the bottom of my Heart.

Pobar ---this was one of the greatest night of rugby the chance to see all of the old Aardvark together was special and that the Highlanders has been playing the Aardvarks for 35
Years is a great tradition that cannot stop—I want to thank Marty for what he has done to keep the Highlanders and Aardvarks tradition going and for the people who did not show up

You miss a great night to party with the World Greatest Rugby Club ( Highlanders & Aardvarks ) why would Aardvark Rugby player not want show up for a Hall of Fame dinner maybe that member should be playing Tennis

Terry Wadsworth ---Marty you did a great job and I was so proud to be there for Hal Hames and Ray Marrone --I had a great time who would not want to come to a Rugby Hall of Fame event
For the Aardvarks I did not see a lot of the current players from last year team but the one who did show up must had a great time. I will try to get down for next year event .
I am proud to be a Northern Aardvark.

Bubba Mata-- it was great to see everybody at this event but I want to thank Marty and Wally for making this a special night for the Aardvarks and We need to keep this 37 years of history together once Aardvark will always Be Aardvark—the Young Vark’s need to take the time to understand our rich Rugby History We need the current players to carrying on the tradition of this great Rugby Club. Why would somebody want to play for a Team like the Brujos with no history And tradition You would need to be on drugs play for those guys

Well I think last night was a success. Everything moved very smoothly and I received great feedback from everyone I spoke with. It was a pretty incredible sight to see and feel the long tradition and family this club has. --- Charlie Davis

Marty,
You were one of my first friends as an Aardvark and I just wish we could have had more playing time together. It was a gift for me to be able to give something that I was very proud to wear. See you out at the pitch.
