New England Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Weekend Activities
The New England Basketball Hall of Fame held a series of activities over the weekend of August 7 and 8, 2015 in Worcester, MA. Nearly 1,800 people attended the dinner and induction ceremony at the DCU Center on August 8. On the previous day, the NEBHOF hosted the first annual Boston versus Worcester High School Scholar-Athlete Games at the iconic St. Mary's High Gymnasium, home court of the 1964 New England Champions. Check out the highlight reel of the Scholar-Athlete game, the wonderful senior women's game, and a halftime ceremony featuring Dee Rowe.
Activities also included 45-minute presentations by Hall of Famers Dave Cowens and David Thompson, former Boston College star Jim Sweeney, who addressed for the first time in a public forum the 1979 scandal at Boston College. Red Sox legend Bill Lee also presented, as part of his role in helping announce the expansion of the New England Basketball Hall of Fame to other sports, including baseball.
The four presentations will be posted to YouTube beginning in January and announced on my Facebook page and the New England Basketball Hall of Fame website.

"Stay Relevant" CD off to a GREAT START! Here is more information.
Stay Relevant, a CD by Dan
Doyle
(Three years in the
making!)
Marie O'Regan Doyle always wanted her
middle child to sing. In autumn 2012, Dan Doyle acted on the long ago
wish of his late mother. Facing overwhelming pressure from a State of Rhode
Island investigation of his work at his beloved Institute for International
Sport, which he founded in 1986, (an investigation now correctly seen by
innumerable people as a horrific witch hunt), Doyle made an appointment at Tape
Works in Hartford, where he recorded several Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra
songs.
Encouraging feedback from the music
community resulted in Doyle deciding to take the next step. That step, and the
many others that followed, has resulted in Doyle's CD, Stay Relevant,
being released worldwide today on CD Baby, iTunes, other electronic means, and
in the form of a special autographed version on hard disc.
The CD contains 11 original songs
that Doyle wrote, composed and recorded. DanDoyleMusic.com provides
details of the songs, including snippets of each song, as well as the role that
Dan's rage played in moving the project to fruition. Stay Relevant is
one of several new assets Doyle has created to keep the Institute for
International Sport operational until his case is adjudicated.
Great Reception
from the Entertainment Industry
Acclaimed musician, platinum engineer
and producer Gordon Bahary, who has his “right touch” on over 35
million albums sold, including those of Stevie Wonder, states:
“Dan Doyle’s album is a work of a
visionary and true artist. A beautiful collection of songs. Dan bares his
soul for all of us. His strong messages are badly needed today. A
blessed piece of work -- brilliant.”
Acclaimed actor Marc Carver,
who recently played the role of Dick Lehr in the movie Black Mass, states:
“After listening to a pre-cut of the
CD, I wanted to give my girlfriend an idea of what Dan’s amazing songs were
like. I played one of the songs, ‘A Parent’s Message’ for her. The original
song is about selflessness and steadfast love. When the song ended, we sat
smiling silently with tears on our cheeks. Dan’s voice is a one-of-a-kind
narrative-style in theater and music.”
Acclaimed Entertainer Rob
Gottfried, “Rob the Drummer” states:
"An incredible triumph at so
many levels. Dan is a Titan with warmth and the CD is a statement about who he
really is. INSPIRING!"
Acclaimed recording artist Dianne
Mower states:
“The powerful messages in each song
remind us of our purpose in life, and that all of us, regardless of age, still
have lots of work to do. Anyone seeking ideas to enhance their lives, and the
lives of others, can start with this CD.”
A Great Christmas
Gift!

by purchasing the CD as a perfect holiday gift for family, friends, or
