Dale: First significant involvement with the Club was when I realized how the University had contributed to my professional success and wanted to give back as best I could. 

Dale: I give because I can, primarily, but believe all should share successes when possible.  I do like to see tangible results, and that is usually the case. My hope is my donation to the lacrosse and field hockey stadium project will facilitate that build... and I will live long enough to see it.

Dale: To all... Do not forget what our University gave YOU. All of us were beneficiaries of others' largesse in some way. Give back if you can. To the fans... Appreciate the efforts of all sports team participants.  I guarantee all work hard on and off the field to represent the University of Maryland.

Dale: My greatest personal memory was being in Anaheim, CA, when the men's basketball team beat Stanford to earn their first Final Four. Was in the company of great friends and other serious Terp supporters; many, many hugs were shared and tears flowed with true joy. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

Dale: My personal Terp 'Mount Rushmore' is easy. Jen Adams and Taylor Cummings are surely there as the two greatest women's lacrosse players in the history of that sport... the worldwide history of that sport. Not only were they great players...they were great teammates who led and inspired their fellow Terps.    (Let's not forget...Women's Lacrosse is by far the most successful Terrapin team in the history of UMD.)  

Gary Williams and Walt Williams are on the mountain next to Jen and Taylor. Many, including me, believe Gary 'saved' our University when he came back to College Park. Truly. And Walt Williams stayed to play for Coach Williams.  What they started has led to huuuuuuuge successes that continue to this day. 

Dale: Maryland teams should play this year... and must play this year. Championships will follow if they do.  

Dale: This is easy! A professional commitment prevented me from being in Atlanta for the 2002 men's basketball National Championship. Watching that game on a small T.V. was not quite the same as being there.

Dale: My first Terp game was likely a football game in my undergraduate days.

Dale: I want to see Maryland teams PLAY and play well. I want to see and be part of CHAMPIONSHIPS, but what pleases me most is seeing former Terrapin athletes successes after their campus days. I personally know former players who are physicians, teachers, coaches, entrepreneurs, business leaders, professional athletes, and community leaders. Their successes after their playing days makes me proud to be a Terp.

Dale: All of the above is what makes it so special. Championships, other game day successes, memories, and real life 'WINS' are what make University of Maryland Athletics so special.
