Rip Teammates Walk Memory Lane Rip Teammates Walk Memory Lane Rip Teammates Walk Memory Lane
Rip Teammates Walk Memory Lane It made sense that Ed Lane and Jeff Gee were inducted into the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference Hall of Fame on the same night. They were honored for their long tenure as cross country and track coaches at their respective schools, Lane at Westhill and Gee at Wilton.

"I was doing what I was doing. I didn't get to know him until I got into coaching." Gee was a sophomore when …
