Interview with Steve Konchalski - Augy and Steve have been closely connected since Canada's "Coach K" recruited him to StFX in 1986.

This thoughtful reflection takes us from his roots in New York City to Wolfville, Nova Scotia (Acadia University) and ultimately to his long-term hometown community of Antigonish, Nova Scotia (Saint Francis Xavier University)
