People
Continued from page 59
last Sunday aftcrnoon's guest bar-
tending benefit for the Bill Deg-
nan fund I was introduced to Mar-
garct Farlow ("Honest. He really
is a sports writer," said Seaford
coach Rob Perciful. "Don't let
him scare you. He's the real
deal." Farlow is a 1993 Seaford
graduate and plays Division I
field hockey for Rutgers Univer-
sity. Margaret scored goals this
year against Syracuse and Virgin-
ian Wesleyan. "Margaret was a
softball player in the spring,"
track junkie Perciful said. "She
may have been the best Seaford
runner ever if she wanted," Perci-
ful said. "The first time she ran
the mile it was near six minutes."
You can catch Margaret, actually
you probably can't, cruising the
dining room and deck waiting ta-
bles. Mention the Cape Gazette
for a window scat but no guaran-
tee what side of the window
you'll be on.
PROFESSOR MORIARITY-
Tim Moriarity is a former hockey
writer for Newsday having cov-
ered the New York Rangers and
New York Islanders during their
glory days. He is the father of
Maureen Schah of Lewes, a for-
mer Lewes Middle School teacher
and wife of lawyer Bill Schab,
who always goes for the inside
pieces on a Nicola's party pizza.
(That's where all the good stuff
is.) "My dad picked the Florida
Panthers right from the begin-
ning," Maureen said. Moriarity is
in the NHL hall of fame as a
writer and is a member of the se-
lection committee..
Buck Thompson is shown
in playing form during his
years at University of
Delaware.
Thompson
Continued from page 59
pleting his eligibility at Delaware,
he played two years of profession-
al football with the Brooklyn
Dodgers of the old American Con-
ference. He set a record by catch-
ing nine consecutive passes in the
second half of a ballgame.
"After the war there just weren't
that many professional football
teams," Thompson said. "There
were some great players and
everyone was tough."
After a 25 year career as a guid-
ance counselor at Upper Darby
High School, Thompson and his
wife, Joan, also a counselor whom
he met at Delware and married in
1950, moved to Lewes. He be-
came a career counselor at Cape
Henlopen while Joan held a simil-
iar position at Wooodbridge.
"I was appointed to the Univer-
sity of Delaware Board of
Trustees in 1985 and thenthe
greatest honor of my life was be-
ing appointed Chairman of the
Committee on Athletics in 1987.
That committee was chaired for
40 years by the late Bob Carpen-
ter, who in 1940 brought
Delaware football into the big
time. Bob was a great friend of
mine and the best friend the Uni-
versity of Delaware ever had."
Thompson continues to labor as
a sports administrator for the Uni-
versity of Delaware currently
spearheading an effort to develop
a sports hall of fame on campus.
"Sometimes I look around and I
can't believe I'm working with all
these accomplished people,"
Thompson said. 'Tm just a little
guy from Manasquan, New Jer-
sey."
Fortunately, "The Buck"
stopped by for a Delaware visit.
