Trophies

[Ed Deaver]

After competing most of my life, whether it be racquetball, Imac or Pattern, 
I've reached a point most trophies a kinda a pain.  Just moved and threw 
away over 20 trophies/plaques and have given about that many to Special 
Olympics when appropriate(they only accept the stand up sports type)

My question is am I alone in this thought?  At what point is a trophy truely 
a wasted expense?  Many Sportsman and Intermediate pilots treasure their 
wood, but is it feasible to recognize the upper levels in a different way?

This doesn't include those events that have specialized trophies.

On the other hand, I have a close friend that has every award he has won, 
collecting dust throughout his basement.

Just a thought.

Thanx
