Special Panel
Saturday, June 7th at 2:30 p.m.
Axinn Center
Erin Quinn ’86, Director of Athletics, Roger Ralph ’63, Bill Beaney, Men’s Hockey Coach and Men’s Golf Coach, David Campbell ’00, Men’s Lacrosse Coach and Kelly Brush ’08 discuss the involvement and impact of student athletes on community service.
One of Middlebury’s longest service traditions is the special relationship that the College shares with Butch Varno. Butch is a Middlebury native with cerebral palsy. Back in 1960, Roger Ralph ’63, saw Butch's grandmother struggling to push Butch in his wheel chair through snow and mud on the way home from a football game, and offered to pick them up. Little did Roger know that “picking up Butch” would become a 48-year tradition that continues today.
We hope you will come to hear this special panel and to see Butch become an honorary member of the Class of 1963!
