In the fall of 1979, when I was hired as a teacher and dorm master at Trinity-Pawling School, then an all-boys boarding school for grades 9-12 and postgraduates, I was appointed to be the head coach of the Freshman football team.
Miles Hubbard, Trinity-Pawling’s legendary athletic director and Varsity basketball coach, informed me that my two assistant coaches were going to be Bob Emerson, a fellow first year teacher at the school and Mr. Carl Ray, a Pawling, NY native and former Trinity-Pawling student who went on to be an All-American center at Dartmouth College in the 1930s.
