FOTW Fossil of the Week

John "Brammy" Bramlet

EIU/Nomads/Blaze/CARFU/Fossils

D.O.B. 2/28/57

Brammy started playing rugby with fellow Chicago Blaze founding member Kevin Hunt at Eastern Illinois in the late 70's. After graduation he played for the Windy City Nomads while embarking on a career with Amoco. 
John was awarded the most intense Rugger in the Blaze's 1983 inaugural season. John has won numerous Blaze accolades over his illustrious career.
If there is a Fossil game scheduled, John is either so excited because his family and work commitments allow him to strap on boots, or greatly disappointed if duty calls! 
Can you say any position? Even though John may be small and light in stature no one carries a bigger heart around the pitch or in life.

With that being said, having just completed running the Chicago Marathon Sunday, having his first born Annie get married this Summer, sending his dear Lillian off to college to Iowa State and come into her own as a rugby player, Keegan his Rugger, Debater and Musician who just rocked the House of Blues, I'm sure Brammy and Diane couldn't be prouder of their kids!
"The Brammy" our annual Fossil award is named in John's honor and will be awarded annually to the person who exemplifies these three distinctions 
1. Give back to Rugby 
2. Play a role with Fossils/Blaze 
3. Community/Family

John ran his second marathon surely to test himself having completed his first marathon in the 80's in a time around 4:30 he stated, but also to raise money for Cancer Awareness as it has affected his Blaze and immediate families. 
John Bramlet completed the Bank of America Chicago Marathon at 1:24:32 pm with a time of 05:03:39 and 11:35 min/mile average pace. 
Great Job Brammy

We are all "With You"
