Bob's Family, Friends and Fellow Arlingtonians Senator Robert Havern did so much for our community and he always did it quietly (without fanfare or recognition). Many years ago, I was President of two different groups that were advocating for Arlington's youth. At the time we recognized a real need to upgrade and make improvements on Peirce Field @ Arlington High School. We felt that Arlington's youth was at a terrible disadvantage when you compared our facility to every other facility within fifty miles. We did have some local support from our elected officials and they encouraged us to approach Senator Havern for possible State assistance. At this point in time, we did have our share of nay-sayers and this was all being done on a wing and a prayer. Bob answered our prayers. Arlingtonians need to be aware that their State Senator found over Two Hundred Thousand Dollars that was used to purchase and erect the lights on Peirce Field. His assistance gave our dream of upgrading this facility a huge kick start. In the future,whenever I drive by the high school at night and see an adult soccer match, a Pop Warner Football game or High School sports(includes A.C.) being played under the lights...... I will fondly remember Bob Havern. As part of you legacy, it is time to give you the credit that you are due and I want to offer a huge thank you on behalf of our youth. Like everything else you did in life..... Nicely Done! Bob Geribo
