'Stronger Families'

Former Dartmouth and NFL quarterback Jeff Kemp will speak at the Community Prayer Breakfast in Billings, Mont., later this month. In anticipation of his visit, the Billings Gazette writes:

If he followed his father into football, Kemp also watched his father transition from football into Congress because Jack Kemp believed in public service to make the world a better place.

"I grew up with, 'You're a Kemp, be a leader, make a difference,' " Jeff Kemp said.

He wasn't certain if his public service would take him into politics, business or ministry. He decided on a mix of the three, forming a nonprofit organization to strengthen families.

Kemp's organization, Families Northwest, is being rebranded as Stronger Families. Find its website here. To hear a quick clip of Jeff Kemp talking about family life in football terms, click here.

Yale starts spring football practice tomorrow. Dartmouth, remember, will be on the field one week from tomorrow.

The Dartmouth baseball team swept Princeton yesterday to improve to 6-0 in the Ivy League and despite the temperature hanging around 40 degrees and an occasional cold drizzle, it was a pleasure sitting behind home plate in one of the chairback seats watching the games. Fittingly, there was a moment of silence for Dick Dunham '53, the devoted follower of Big Green baseball (as well as football and basketball) who died last week. (link)
