A Family Treasure Discovered and More EuroBall Equipment Shipping


Thursday, March 12, 2026

Today we stumbled upon a family treasure by complete accident.

It was a class photo that included both my father, Jorge, and my uncle, Mauricio.

Even though my father was a year older than my uncle, they both started school at the same time thus placing them in the same classes as children.

After talking with my cousins in Argentina, we came to believe that this photo could be from circa 1936 and may be a photo of their graduating class from Belén Jesuit High School in Havana, Cuba.

The back of the photo was autographed
by all the classmates

What a wonderful family heirloom, love it!

Laurie and I were busy today preparing two more boxes of donated American football equipment to a team in Europe.

This time we were shipping gear to the Zabki Dukes in Poland.

As usual every helmet was
stuffed with dri-fit shirts

All open spaces needed to be filled

These game socks did the trick

The Dukes two boxes were ready to ship

In total, the Zabki club will be receiving:
9 Helmets
20 Padded Shirts
57 Dri-Fit Shirts
20 Tights
75 Pairs of Game Socks

Go Dukes, GO!
