Once a month this fall, natural disasters have devastated widely scattered parts of the U.S. In September Hurricane Hugo slammed into the Carolina coast; October brought the San Francisco Bay earthquake. Last week the furies returned in a burst of tornadoes. Frigid air howled out of the Arctic to collide with record balmy weather pushing northward from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The unseasonable clash generated a hopscotching barrage of twisters through 14 states from Arkansas to New York that killed at least 30 people.

Long Island has never been considered a hockey hotbed, but Weisbrod joined a remarkable Oyster Bay travelling team populated by 15 future Division I icemen. He stuck with the squad through Mites, Squirts, Bantams and Juniors, enjoying several state championships and three national titles. Of course, his team won its league every year, as has every team Weisbrod has ever played...
