DeBriyn gets more toast, than roast

FAYETTEVILLE -- Toasting and roasting a good man brought good money to good causes for children that the Fayetteville Northside Rotary Club will distribute.

Norm DeBriyn, the retired Arkansas Razorbacks College Hall of Fame baseball coach (1969-2002) and unretired before he could retire Razorback Foundation executive, was roasted and toasted for charity Monday night at the Fayetteville Town Center.

There was more toasting than roasting, though one of four roasters, Dave Van Horn, DeBriyn's All-Southwest Conference second baseman (1982), assistant coach (1985-88) and successor upon DeBriyn's 2002 coaching retirement to serve in the Razorback Foundation, met the medium rare roast minimum.
