WINTER, 1984 A TALE OF REINS AND ROMANCE

JAMES E. BRENNAN

year ago, when Jim Crawford, 23, graduated with a geology degree A from Mercyhurst College, he had no idea he'd be driving a hack for a living. "My career thoughts were toward oil ex­ ploration, and horses were the farthest thing from my mind," Jim says. "But then, my sister, Anne Ashberry, came up with this idea of starting a horse-drawn livery service in Buffalo, and here I am." Jim is the vice president and general manager of Crawford Carriage, Inc., a galloping concern that caters to hotel guests, wedding parties, prom dates and cozy couples out for a moonlit ride around the Erie Basin Marina. A half-hour ride costs $20. Carriages can be hailed at the downtown Hilton, Hyatt or Holiday Inn, or on the street like a taxi.

"My career thoughts were toward oil explor­ ation, and horses were the farthest thing from my mind."

"A carriage ride can be quite romantic," says this blond bachelor. "The Visa-Vie (an open-faced coach with a convertible top that seats up to six passengers) has kerosene lamps that flicker in the fog as the horse clip-clops around the marina." The carriage trade is not all moonlight and roses, though.

We had an excellent second quarter highlighted by two T.D. passes, one from each quarterback, and both caught by Craig Zonna. Despite our dominance in the game, there are some fans who grumble. They spew forth remarks with no consideration for a coach's wife sitting nearby. I must constantly re­ mind myself of two things:

1) This is entertainment. Fans have the right to enjoy it in any way they see fit. 2) You are the coach's wife. Behave with restraint, and resist your gut instinct to react to each play as if your life is going on in front of you.
