  • Robert Enzerink introduced the DOTS!
  • "I remember being at the meeting when the dots were voted on. Beth Vanderliet was president, wearing her nice Eddy Merckx pullover, and I am pretty sure Robert Enzerink walked up at the beginning of the meeting and wrote "Polka Dots" on the board. The rest is history. Before then the old jerseys were wool, mostly green, with the bucking mustang."  – Scott Larwood (alumni)
