About
The Bellingham Rugby Community lost Preston Rick Worth in 2020. They lost a teammate, a good friend, a Rugby supporter, and a wonderful man. Preston grew up in Longview Washington and enrolled at Western in 1972 after serving his country as a US Marine in Vietnam.
Preston played for WWSC in the early seventies, earning the respect and admiration of teammates and those that played against him. He was a gifted athlete who demonstrated integrity on and off the field. Preston became a generous supporter of the Western Washington Rugby program. This scholarship made available by the Western Rugby Alumni (WRA) through generous donations from former teammates, alumni, friends and family.
