About The Blog: New “About the FCIAC Football Blog” page coming soon.
The FCIAC Football Blog was created in September 2005. The idea was to just drop quick hits of information about what was going on in the FCIAC, interject some commentary, and provide links to help guide the reader.
About the Blogger: Tim Parry has a passion for FCIAC football. He grew up in a house with a former New Canaan assistant football coach (Ray Parry) and a brother who was as assistant coach at Roger Ludlowe (the late Jim Parry), and that inspired him to get involved in the game. While attending Tomlinson Jr. High in Fairfield, he became Lou Marinelli’s first water boy at New Canaan. The next year, when he transferred to Saxe Jr. High School, he helped his father in the equipment room and became a manager for the Class L2 State Champions. He then played four seasons with the Rams, though his career was clouded by injuries, illness, and a false sense of athletic ability and dedication. He later walked on twice as a kicker and punter at Western Connecticut (1989 and 1992), but the reality of work and academics prevented him from seeing things through.
Parry has been married to the former Ursula Gleissner, a department manager with Macy’s, since May 1997. They reside with their basset hounds, Abbi and Diggy, in the North End of Bridgeport, and have a son on the way in September.
