"Committee" Spotlight of the Week: Bob "Victory" Wolfson

2009-02-16T09:15:00.000-08:00

A Man, A Plan...A Bandana

Ever wonder who that guy with the flowy locks and the blue bandana sitting on the pep band side at basketball games is? Ever want to go up to him and run your fingers through his wavy tresses? Look no further, you can find him at the next Committee or Team Captains Meeting. Bob Wolfson serves the Relay Committee by making agendas, running meetings, and doing whatever Jenny Donley tells him to do. He is the man to find if you have any Relay (or philosophical) questions, and also serves as part-time grammatical policeman. I sat down with Bob to try and get to know him a little better, and here is what was discovered:

Relay Position: Communications and Human Resources Coordinator

Relay Experience: TC 3 years, Committee 2 years, EC 1 year

Favorite Relay T-Shirt Slogan (Past, present, or future): "A One Night Stand You Won't Forget"

Legitimate reason to miss a Relay Meeting: Tombs Trivia

Ideal middle name for yourself: Victory

Favorite 80's pop-culture figure: Don Johnson, from Miami Vice (see below)

If you could be any other mammal, pick one: A Pheonix (I know it's not a mammal, but its a sweet mythological creature)

Favorite clothing accessory: A bandana

Which part of a triathlon would be your strongest: Swimming, no doubt

One more thing: I beat Dave Hammerman in tennis

Bob Wolfson and Don Johnson, separated at birth?
