SpringsUltimate,
A big congratulations to Murph for being inducted into the Ultimate Hall of
Fame.
The following snippet was taken from the UPA < http://www.upa.org> website:
> *Brian Murphy* served as the second National Director of the UPA, taking
> over from TK. At that time, the UPA was still struggling to convince
> players that it was worth $7.00 to join the UPA. As National Director,
> Murph was a genial, articulate, and well known East Coast player (with West
> Coast experience) who provided both East and West Coast players with
> confidence that the UPA had something to offer. Murph started the process of
> "professionalizing" the UPA as UPA Director and throughout his long
> association with Ultimate, also contributed to the organization as Co-chair
> Eighth Edition Rules Committee with Irv Kalb (chosen by captains at the
> annual East Coast Captains meeting), Tournament Director for Open/Women's
> Nationals ('83-'85, '88), College Sectional Coordinator ( '89-'91 Rocky
> Mountain), College Nationals TD ('91), and pro bono Legal Advisor to the UPA
> and the WFDF. As a practicing lawyer, Murph rewrote the UPA's bylaws,
> reincorporated both the UPA and WFDF, and secured 501(c)(3)(tax exempt)
> status for both organizations. Murph proudly maintains that his efforts
> helped to solidify the Spirit of the Game as a founding principle of our
> sport; a principle distinguishing Ultimate from all other sports.
Enjoy,
