Gene “Ace” Forman and Bob “Igor” Haack wore the same uniform #76.
Ace (photo left) lettered 1964 and 1965. Igor (drawing right) lettered 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1968.
There much, much more to the Forman and Haack connection.
Ask Bob to elaborate!
But, in case you haven't asked Bob, here's what he told Wildcatville on 6/4/2021:
—Ace and I shared the same #76! I asked Ace if I could wear his #, during many visits. He told me, "He'd be honored." That meant everything to me! I told him, I'd do my best to play at his level and help the Team to return to The National Championships & this time: WIN! Our loss to St. John's was a REAL Wakeup & Challenge, esp. for many underclassmen!
—I believe I shared his experience with prior . . . Aceman is also The Godfather to our son Ryan (Linfield Def End) w/ Rutsch his redshirt Frosh tr. & 4 yrs. w/ Langsdorf! Ace is my Best Friend. He was represented by my father at our wedding, as my best man!
—And and Ace is our three grandsons' Great Godfather! Go Wildcats!
