He was singing in Vegas then--our most improbable city--or out in Honolulu, doing "Heartbreak Hotel" with a three...
Oberg learned the fundamentals of rugby in the summer before his senior year at Conard High School playing with some friends from Springfield College, the subsequent founders of the West Hartford Yahoo rugby club.
