Before the pandemic, a group of men in Central Virginia would gather every six weeks for a luncheon, but mostly to regale with stories from their illustrious careers.
Longtime UVA chief sports trainer Joe Gieck, professor emeritus of sports medicine, organized the lunches, affectionately naming it the “Dr. Frank McCue, Jim West Memorial Lunch.” Because of the stature of the guests, outsiders referred to it as “The Legends Lunch.”
The once-popular Lord Hardwick’s was the host site for years until it went out of business, and with a little pull from Gene Corrigan, it moved to a special room at Glenmore Golf Club. Corrigan was former commish of the ACC, former AD at Washington & Lee, Virginia and Notre Dame.
