The Livingston Old Guard has resumed many of its pre-pandemic activities, including bocce, poker, bridge, golf, and bowling.Recently, members went to a practice session of the New York Giants football team. The team had made free tickets available, and the general public had the opportunity to meet and greet players, get autographs, and receive giveaways. Old Guard member Martin Steinman said, “I enjoyed getting an early look at the team. There was a huge crowd, but people were congenial. There was no jockeying to get ahead in line, and people helped us find seats in the crowded stands. There was a mix of all ages, from many youngsters to seniors.”Member Joel Lightner said, “I had a blast at the first day of football camp. It was great to see all the players and new coaches up close and personal. The players didn’t look like it was the first day of camp, so there is good reasons to hope for a better year for the Giants in 2022!”Member Stuart Nacher said, “It was exciting to see close and in person what this team can be in the upcoming season. There were many new faces as well as familiar ones. It was thrilling to watch the players go through live drills, making outstanding plays, see the high energy that each and every player brought to their time on the field. I’m glad I had the opportunity to see this firsthand.”The Old Guard is sponsored by Livingston Township and is open for all men 55 and over who are retired or semi-retired.
