Class Notes

Former Yellowjacket football players celebrated their 10th “Dinner with the Coach” this spring, an annual event to recognize the achievements of iconic coach Pat Stark. In all, 35 football alumni attended the April 30 event at Perlo’s Restaurant in East Rochester, traveling from throughout New York and Pennsylvania.
A Rochester and Syracuse University Hall of Famer, Coach Stark significantly elevated the stature of the Yellowjacket football program during his coaching tenure at Rochester from 1969 to 1983. Those participating in this year’s dinner were members that encompassed all his teams at Rochester—including some who played during the school record 13 straight victories and No. 1 ranking in the East for Division III.
It was a diverse group, with families from a variety of backgrounds and hometowns, and including former captains, hall of famers, and role players alike, who have since become entrepreneurs and professionals in the military, commerce, industry, education, medicine, and law.
