"The New Haven Chapter lost a long time friend with the passing of Rob Szymaszek coach of Maloney High School.

Over the years coach was a speaker at Chapter meetings and supporter of the Hall of Fame Classic.

Above he is shown at a practice session this past July with his friend Tom Ryan the former coach at Platt High School.

The following week he attended the game.

Anyone interested in donating to the field memorial named in his honor at Maloney, may send a check payable to the Maloney Football Boosters Club to Steve Fillipone at Hand HS.

Our Chapter donated $500."
