...This guy’s got a lot of the tools that national coaches and teams would look for,” Harvard coach David Fish ’72 said. “Jon can play with anybody. He’s got a serve that can surprise anybody...
...staff of 230 serves up to 150 guests - and sand forms a soft white carpet throughout. This is barefoot country, so leave your heels at home. But don't take quiet to mean boring; Baros is water-sports nirvana. You could easily spend every waking moment in your swimsuit, fishing and sailing, scuba diving and snorkeling.

...third and fourth days are a cattle call. First we push around 20 or so longhorns as a herd, and then we cut one or two dogies from the group, just as they used to do in the old western movies. Akin to separating a school of fish with a rake, cutting takes patience, balance, hard focus and a strong rapport with the horse. Not everyone gets it.
