About Me
- George
- I have been married to Laurie for over 50 years. Our oldest son, Andy, lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife Jenn and their son Kevin. Our youngest son Mike lives in Camarillo, California with his wife Vanessa and their kids Jacob and Mary. Although I retired from teaching in June of 2007, the 2015 football season marked my 45th year of coaching football at five high schools in Southern California's Ventura County - Thousand Oaks, Westlake, Rio Mesa, Buena and Newbury Park. In 2008, I started coaching in Europe. My EuroBall stops have been in Catania, Sicily in 2008 & '09, Hässleholm, Sweden in 2010, Thun, Switzerland in 2012, Lyon, France in 2012-13 with the 12-0 National Champion Bron-Villeurbanne Falcons, Murcia, Spain in 2015, Rivas, Spain in 2016, Upplands-Väsby, Sweden in the Spring of 2016 & 17, in Mexico & Austria to coach the Europe Warriors in 2017, 18 & 19 and finally in 2018, 19 & 20 in Varese, Italy. Join me as I explore and chronicle my newest adventures coaching American football in Europe. My European touring also included a 500 mile Pilgrimage Walk on the Camino de Santiago in Spain in 2010.

George,
This is my first venture into a blog. Great job in sharing your overall experience in Sicily! It just took me 2 hours to to catch up on all you have reported! My trip will take me in and out of Italy at Bari, not Ancona. I will be researching family history again from the Isle of Vis, to Dubrovnik, to Sarajevo, then concentrate on S.Italy, Sicily, and Malta. Latest rumor from Ventura Co via P.I.Husted is that Mike Olgy will be the next coach at Buena.
Ciao, Paul Petrich
