I was on a camping trip on the Western Slope of Colorado. Stopped at a funky coffee shop in Paonia, Colo., for a latte. In walked <\/em>Charlie Stanzione \u201985<\/em><\/strong>, captain of the \u201884 soccer team. He and his family, from Denver, were on their second day of a year-long road trip. We drank coffee and talked, and 10 minutes later, in walked <\/em>Ron Edmondson \u201978<\/em><\/strong>, former goalkeeper, who now lives in Paonia, but had never been to that coffee shop before. Totally random meeting of the three of us. What a coincidence! \u2014 Horst<\/em> <\/p>\n1986<\/h2>\n
