F
or the last several summers (modulo COVID years), Ernie Cormier
'80 has hosted Brothers at his house for some good old-fashioned
foosball and a great spread of food and refreshments. e summer of 2024
was no exception. Ernie and his wonderful wife, Jan, graciously invited
fellow eta Chis to another Summer Foos Rally at their terrific house in
Norwood, Massachusetts. It was yet another great reunion of era friends
including foosers, non-foosers, foos watchers, and even enthusiastic foos bar
spinners (like Googs). e food was exceptional, the bourbon and beer were
ultra refreshing, and the foos games were über competitive and super fun.
Can't wait to do it all over again!
e Summer Foos Rally is one of my favorite events of the summer. It's
always a perfect time for sharing great memories, laughing out loud and
catching up with friends. e success of the 2024 event certainly fuels
interest in the next opportunity to get together while we can all still swing
the bar and make our best shots. Most importantly, though, I look forward
to seeing my lifelong friends and family of Brothers. Viva Le eta Chi!
