Great report!  It captures the essence of what was a thoroughly enjoyable event.

He was Andrew Ferrante, and I am Chris (the Mr. of the report.....)  Despite his subpar recore, he had a blast.

It was definitely worth the drive to come sling some (formerly) Type One.  It was good to meet several of you...hope to be able to do this more often.....

Nick,

can you put Andrew and Chris Ferrante down for two of the 100 dollar slots in the tournament on Sunday.  We will not be able to make the grinders on Saturday.



thanx, see you Sunday
