On a roll, I asked who would help next year, once again I think every hand went up. What a great group we have assembled this season.A heartfelt thanks to all of you. Frank Carrier volunteered to run the line today and Dave Shaw ran targets. Thanks to Jeremiah Keffe for filling in as need and for collevting my flags. Our warm weather golf cart responded to some prodding from Tom Anderson start in spite of the temperature in the morning in the 40s.
