I hate to admit it, but I have the secret for grabbing the 2011 trophy. Apparently, one or more Fox Collectors Association hotshots may participate this year. Whichever team manages to recruit the best of the Fox shooters will gain a target or two.

"They can shoot." Sorry you aren't coming, Charlie.

Carl - should they inhale or exhale before taking the shot? I always forget.

I know Mike and Frank can shoot pretty doggone good - who else? I'm sure there are others. If they bring us some extra target points and we take the Cup I promise to go easy on them at Addieville.

Roger Bain can shoot with Mike or Frank. Unfortunately, he is too busy with his booth to both qualify and shoot the final. A few years ago, he was denied a place on our team after shooting the highest qualifying score with Henry Bartholomews Becker duck gun. He and John Allgood will be at the Southern and can shoot with the best of team members. John will also be too busy with his booth to shoot the Challenge.

Get to recutin I would REALLY like to see you fellows win. You no winning isn't everything, (yeah right whatever)... :-)

Sorry, I was ninety miles into my trip today and had to turn back. Linda's brother had a tornado emergency in Trenton, Georgia and needs water, gasoline, a big generator, plywood, a water pump, and hotel reservations. Long story, but I will not be at the Southern. What a bad situation. He suffered severe destruction, but some of his neighbors have only foundations. I don't have time to ask, but maybe some of our members could ask if our friends have suffered and need assistance.

Dean Romig · 04-28-2011, 09:27 PM

Bill, I'm sure you and Linda will be missed by all but "You gotta do what you gotta do". It's so sad to see and hear what devastation has been wrought on so many people in the path of those tornados... and the loss of life, around three-hundred now.
Godspeed to you. Dean
