<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On my long drive home I called a number of my
pattern buds and told them what a great contest they missed. There's no
way to instill too much guilt and longing in their sorry butts for not making
Crowley contests (either Spring or Fall). Many thanks for the hospitality
of the Martin family: Chris and Miss Pat working concessions and making the
group dinner on Friday, Jon for cooking the pork steaks, prepping the field and
running a smooth contest, Heather for her running the scoring in between taking
college ACTs. I was impressed that the fish at the fish fry were even
caught by Jon and cooked by his brother Dean. Jon and his family and the
rest of the RAMS club do a fantastic job and I have nothing but awe and
gratitude for you.</FONT></DIV>
