Burstein played junior varsity basketball at Gallaudet. He also served as the varsity statistician three years for three seasons. Sorry, he wasn't one of the hardy students that signed up for the football team when this sport was revived on the Gallaudet campus after lying dormat for a decade. Never involved with any of the AAAD activities - but he emceed the AAAD hall of fame banquet at Los Angeles in 1974, and was instrumental in getting old football hero Tom Harmon as the banquet speaker. Bummy is one up on Benjamin Franklin.
Life takes strange turns.
