1987- Prep Hall of Fame Swim Coach John Slevin gives workout instructions to the Pirates swimmers at the University’s pool. He followed longtime coach John Prisco in 1981 and coached through 1988. He was followed by Randy Schweitzer, and then Joe Alexander in 2018.
This is Velo Orange's Grand Cru threadless bottom bracket, fresh out of the box. Notice that rather than threaded cups that slide together, this has threadless cups that thread together. As you thread the two pieces tighter together, the aluminum expansion sleeves slide up the slightly tapered cups, locking the bracket into place. Most people recommend greasing the threads, the cups underneath the expansion sleeves and the expansion sleeves, so we'll do all that before insertion.
ca 1973- On the sidelines at a Pirates football game, part of the brain-trust that ran up Seton Hall's impressive record in the 70s. At far left, Tom Reynolds (Fathers Club President and heavily involved in all things Prep before his regrettable sudden death by accident in 1974), Asst. Coach Vinnie Aulisi, Head Coach Tony Verducci and Asst. Sam Fortunato. During that era, in the days long before NFL RedZone, many home football games were played on Sundays.

Building motors, wiring up the electronics, and packing the parachutes…
A missing o-ring in the yellow G64 motor Erik is assembling here will create some trouble later in the day.
Tom is explaining his custom-built L3 carbon-fiber and titanium nose cone with integrated drogue-chute cannon. A custom ammonium nitrate charge shoots the inner cylinder of the nose cone forward for high-altitude parachute deployment.
Getting ready to homebrew some Octoberfest at a friend's house. Testing out my new 24-70mm/f2.8l at the same time...
Well… I know it is still a long way off…but my BCN trip prep book has begun. (4th international USK symposium in Barcelona if you don't know what I am referring to!)
And this year the trip prep will be a HUGE focus for me. I AM (i really AM!) going to start training for sketching people more…
So here is the title page and a few pages that I did this week -using reference books initially to get the right marks and proportions happening and then will start sketching in public. I promised my friend Chris that I would have done 20 faces and 20 figures before I saw her next… so the night before… I did them all! I can intersperse my people sketches with planning notes (such as how to decide on which workshop to do - this page was writing down my shortlist of way way too many!)
And then last night while waiting for our dinner, I sketched the view! Actually this was just a glorified thumbnail that now is a 'sketch'. I have thought of a while that the best way to do cafe sketches is to draw the people first and then hint at the interior space later - of course Jim Richard's new book and his approach- start with people has been a good reminder. THis time I actually drew the middle group of people first and I found that that really helped me get the people closest to me the right size and the further group then behind them. I have discovered a Pilot V pen while sorting my studio and really love it to draw and then dissolve the line! FUN FUN FUN.
I have been agonising how to draw more people for years I know- I do have a mild dread 'ruining' a page in my normal sketchbook which I know is totally hypocritical and yet a separate sketchbook just for people seems like a cop out for me. SO having in my trip prep book feels right to me!
At some point, it may have been 1982, we thought it would be the height of hilarity to dress as preppies during a weekend of debauchery. I had to borrow a Lacoste shirt and overcome deep moral issues in order to put it on; what those may have been is lost to time.
We all also had preppie nicknames for the weekend. I know there was at least a Muffy and a Scooter, probably a Biff and a Buffy as well.
Joe Brady, me with an unfortunate and short-lived Beatle haircut, Danny, and Mark. Danny is sporting the "Report" magazine rubber-stamp tattoo that was all the rage at the time, at least in our apartment.
