Runaway Renegade: Many of you have probably been wondering why Bill Murray hasn’t starred in a Checkpoints issue for seemingly years. The reason is that he hasn’t done anything that merited the coveted attention of the CP readers. Oh sure, he’s written a couple of books containing his inner thoughts and philosophies, but you could get his musings by sending him two Lucky Charms box tops or accidentally making eye contact with him.

But this time Bill really went all out to get some of the precious CP ink. While attending a family reunion, he borrowed his brother’s Honda Shadow and took it for a little spin, although “spin” might not be the right word…”tumble” would probably be more accurate. He missed a turn, jumped a pavement curve, slid on some grass, and for his finale, landed squarely on his right shoulder. The final outcome was a collarbone broken in five places and two fractured ribs. At last report he’s on the mend, but his brother isn’t letting him borrow any more toys unless he puts down a security deposit and signs a waiver of liability.

Len Salvemini is being inducted into the AF Athletics Hall of Fame on October 18th. Len is the soccer program’s career scoring leader and all-time leading goal scorer. He was a two-time All-American and a four-time all-conference and all-Far West region selection. He also played on the Olympic team during the 1976 qualifiers. Well done, Len!
