I suggest taking the Blue Water Taxi, which is located at the Inner Harbor. This taxi will drop off in front of Koopers Tavern. There are two water taxi services. Take the Blue Water Taxi not the Harbor Shuttle. The fare is $6.00, which is an all day fare, and runs till 11 pm. Hope you can join us!

Directions from Inner Harbor Baltimore to Kooper’s Tavern:

Take Pratt Street to Broadway.

Turn Right on Broadway and take until it ends.

Turn Left on Thames Street.

Kooper’s Tavern located at 1702 Thames St., which is the 3rd Bldg on the left

I’m sorry about the delay in getting this information out to you. Thank you to Todd DeMoss for all of his help.

Big Ten Conference Recognition For Ed Crowley

By Faye Thompson

The Big Ten Conference Sports Medicine Committee honored Ed Crowley early in May. The committee is composed of senior athletic trainers, primary care and orthopaedic physicians from all conference institutions. The group has met annually since the early 1970’s to share concerns and make recommendations about student-athlete medical and health care related issues. Dr. John Albright and Denny Miller, Purdue Head Athletic Trainer, presented Ed with a plaque that read:

For Edward T. Crowley

To recognize and thank you for many years of service and loyalty to the Big Ten Conference and the University of Iowa as Head Athletic Trainer and Football Athletic Trainer

1973-2004.

Ed’s transition on the University of Iowa campus from head athletic trainer to senior physical therapist was acknowledged along with his extensive service as a member of the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee. It was a special moment for Ed. Among long-time sports medicine colleagues it was a respectful tribute, befitting of his professional camaraderie and loyal friendship.

Congratulations Are In Order

Congratulations to Jason Miller on his Men’s Basketball Final Four appearance and championship as athletic trainer for the Connecticut Huskies in San Antonio. Also, Jason will marry Teresa Farmer this June 5th.

Congratulations to Eric Rasmussen on his Men’s Hockey, Frozen Four appearance and championship as athletic trainer for Denver University.

Scott Street, athletic administrator at University of Texas San Antonio did another excellent job in coordinating and managing yet another event for the NCAA. This year Scott invited John Streif to be present and help assist with some game management. A great experience for John in seeing behind the scenes of such a large national event in a great city. Great job Scott!

The University of Iowa Alumni Association will present 2004 Distinguished Alumni Award to Kent Falb on June 12. Please extend him your congratulations at the NATA convention on this much-deserved award.
