<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><HTML><FONT SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10>With about 35 shooters on our last Wednesday night of the year (even with about six of our regular regulars not in attendance), I would say our year closed with a bang. The panegyrics of the year are attributable to many factors. John Nagel with his first rate stage designs and calm decision making; Bob Elmore functioning as the great communicator and prompt score reporter; and Paul Smith providing our outreach to the world with the web site, were our Kingston Trio. The several members who constantly assisted with running the timer, scoring and the setting up of the stages also merit our gratitude. Those who regularly pasted targets and kept the convivial conversations going should also be applauded. I personally thank each and every one of you for helping to make my transition into my 70s in 2004 a spirited adventure. <BR>

Happy New Year. Marty Rubin <BR>
