Ralph Vaccaro of the Tufts course of 1941 is the world’s oldest active curling playerIt’s an early Wednesday morning at the Cape Cod Curling Club and Ralph Vaccaro,A41, A81P, or is poised to disappear out on the ice.
A whiff of white hair peeks out of a cap with padding in the back,just in case he falls backward, although around here the preferred term is “tumble.” Like other players here, or he wears grippers over his shoes so he doesn’t slip. His blue polar fleece vest and gloves will keep him warm,because the rink is, of course, and chilly. At his side is his curling stick,which he will use to throw polished stones toward the concentric rings of the target area.
