Great Neshaminy Moments

Volume 6 | Edition 10

December 2004. Like a newly formed planet that is cooling off and giving off steam, neshaminyfootball.com was born in late 2004. It was empty and chaotic. It needed a sense of purpose. It needed life. It needed synergy.

Feeling like I had started something that I could not finish, I was asking myself "what the heck were you thinking, this is way over your head". Little did I know how quickly all of that would change, because out of the cosmos came Bruce Traney. It was a name that I was not familiar with, but also, it was a name I will never forget. Bruce and I began to forge the foundations of what we have today on this website. neshaminyfootball.com is what it is because of a unique working partnership that I am proud to be a part of.

neshaminyfootball.com is a direct result of Bruce and I working together to bring all of what you see here. To be even more specific, the Great Moments section of this website is a result of me wanting to preserve history & Bruce knowing how to do it. Our skills compliment each other, and never compete. I am the technical guru of what you see here and Bruce provides all of the writing, color and flare.

As you browse through these 50+ Neshaminy Great Moments, be sure to know that Bruce Traney is the driving force behind all of them. Every summer, Bruce would send me a full season of Great Moments. Bruce left nothing to my imagination. Bruce would email me the story (as a Word document), the lead-in, the editor's note, and all of the necessary pictures. Bruce would even tell me which picture went where in the story.
