I remember when Art, and I, and others were coaching our children's recreational co-ed soccer teams each Fall at Heistein's Park. Prior to the season, all the coaches would meet to conduct a draft of available players. On about the 4th or 5th round, I drafted Amanda Ardizone.art let out with a big sigh of disappointment, since he felt no one knew her and he could draft her in a later round. He was very good natured about it. Also, and this is strictly a compliment, I believe Art was the loudest of all the coaches. You could hear him shouting instructions to his beloved players from a few fields away. Loved coaching against him. God bless.
