From the coach:
“I have been married for 35 years to my beautiful wife Donna, a ParaProfessional in Special Ed. in Fairfield; we have three children. My sons J.R., who is a CPA and lives in Stamford, and Kevin, Jr., who is a Naval Officer and a Sub(marine) Nuc(lear) Engineer, were both captains of the football team at Fairfield High/Fairfield Warde, which I had to coach against them, quite an experience!”
“My daughter Courtney was a three-sport athlete at Fairfield Warde and played Soccer at College of the Holy Cross, and is a Senior Producer with NBC Sports in Boston. Her and her husband John Gustafson, a Physical Education Teacher/Coach, just became parents when Emmy Rose was born February 6. So Donna and I have become very proud grandparents recently!! Prior to Ridgefield I was the head football coach at my Alma Mater, Notre Dame C.H.S. in Fairfield, where I am proud to be a member of the Hall of Fame.” – Kevin Callahan
