Rick aka Rich Pressler ‘81 Returns!

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Friday night the Ford welcomes musician alum Rick Pressler as part of our Alumni Year in the Arts series.

Rick (who was ‘Rich’ back in the days of the Carter Administration!) was my customsman and informal guitar teacher. More recently, he indulged my request for an intvu.

Greg offers this: “He was one of Haverford’s best-ever pitchers, beat Swarthmore four years in a row (only pitcher ever to do that) and pitched a no-hitter, Haverford’s first-ever, vs. Johns Hopkins. The whole baseball team went to his senior music major project recital (guitar concert) straight from the field in their muddy practice unifoms.”

Hope to see you Friday!
