It will be a couple more days before the Green Alert blog is back in full force but in the meantime I want to share several links. ...

Former Dartmouth standout Anthony Gargiulo has started his own blog to keep friends up-to-date on his bid for a berth as a defensive end with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. Find Anthony's well-done blog here. ... Not surprisingly, it didn't take long for the Calgary Herald to realize there's a pretty good a story in the Ivy Leaguer who took a year off before testing the pro football waters. Find that story here. ...

Incoming Dartmouth linebacker Spencer Hood is profiled in the North County Times. From the story:

Recently named both scholar-athlete of the year and defensive football player of the year at Carlsbad High, Hood marches into Dartmouth College this fall with a 4.1 grade point average and 600 hours of community service under his belt.

Thanks to all of you who have sent along kind thoughts at this difficult time. It means a lot as we deal with our sadness.
