HARRIET IRSAY SZYMANSKI Vice Executive Vice President President and General Manager ERNIE ACCORS! Assistant General Manager MICHAEL G. CHERNOFF Vice President and Secretary General Counsel JOSEPH CAUSIN Vice President— FinanceROBERT IRSAY President and Treasurer On February 26, 1980, Robert Irsay brought to realization a long awaited dream of the Baltimore Colts, for it was on that date that the formal dedi- cation of the Colts new five million dollar office/training complex was held. In attendance were many notable dignitaries from City, State and County government. Commissioner Pete Rozelle represented the Na- tional Football League and was one of the key note speakers. Both the guest list and the complex were im- pressive but no one enjoyed the day of ceremonies more than the Colts owner. “This building is a symbol of our dedication to bring winning football back to our fans in Baltimore. This facility is second to none in the NFL,” stated Irsay at the dedication, ‘and we want ‘our football team to match the standards set by this building.” Irsay became owner of the Colts on July 26, 1976, when he traded his recently acquired Los Angeles Rams to Carroll Rosenbloom for the Baltimore franchise. Irsay had purchased the Rams from the estate of the late Dan Reeves. Irsay was born on March 5, 1923, in Chicago’s northern “Bucktown” section. He worked his way through the Univer- sity of Illinois where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering. While attending Illinois, he was an II- lini football teammate of former Colt Alex Agase. After his graduation, he served from 1941 to 1945 in the United States Marine Corps as a member of the First and Fourth Divisions. He had obtained the rank of lieutenant at the time of his discharge. During the years following his discharge from the service, he worked for a ventilation company in Chicago until 1952. Starting with $800 borrowed from his wife Harriet's savings account, he formed The Robert Irsay Company of Skokie, IIli- nois and built it into one of the largest and most respected heating, air conditioning and ventilating companies in the world. During its twenty plus years, The Robert Irsay Company completed contracts on some of the largest buildings in the famed Chicago ‘‘Loop.” The company also includes Cobo Arena in Detroit, Disney World in Orlando and countless com- mercial and residential projects among its achievements. In 1971, Irsay sold his company to a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. He remained associated with the firm until 1978 when he formed Colt Construction and Develop- ment Company and its affiliate Colt Developers Co., diversified construction and development companies, with offices in Bal- timore, Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago. These companies were responsible for the construction of the Colt complex. His success in the business world has enabled him to make significant contributions of time and money to many charitable organizations. A strong supporter of the Colts Corrals, he has contributed heavily to their charities as well as to the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola University. One of his most re- cent contributions was a gift to the Baltimore Police Youth Clubs. For his community work in Baltimore, he was honored by the Eastside Athletic Club as their “1978 Man of the Year.” He is a member of the Executive Committee of NFL Properties, which dedicates a majority of its earnings to NFL Charities. Irsay and his wife, Harriet, have two sons, Tom (26) and Jim (21), a junior at Southern Methodist University. 4RICHARD SZYMANSKI Executive Vice President and General Manager Dick Szymanski is entering his fourth season as Executive Vice Pres- ident and General Manager of the Bal- timore Colts.
