Review # 1 was written on 2013-11-25 00:00:00 Cynthia Cole This book was written by popular ProJo columnist in cooridnation with the Internatl. Institute of Sports at URI. Very sparse on detail, as it reads like one of Reynolds' columns. Leaves out major high school contributions and all those 60s-70s RIC teams which often found themselves among the national small college elite. Interesting that out of all the significant New England players, URI's Ernie "The Shot Heard Around the World" Caverly is pictured on cover.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-11-20 00:00:00 Thor Heimdahl Contrary to the stereotype, firefighters do not sit around the firehouse playing cards all day. I first read this book in the early 1980's after I joined the volunteer fire department. I found Dennis Smith's description of the duties and problems firefighters face to be most accurate. Company 82 is situated in New York City and was written in the 70's but it's still a fast paced and hysterical read. My sister, who is not interested in the fire service, also loved the book and screamed with laughter at some of the pranks recounted. For anyone who works in public safety, especially the fire service, this book is a classic and worth hunting down
