It is my pleasure to support such a fun game and such a great group of people.

Now, if we can get everyone to properly spell and pronounce Lapua, i'll be satisfied. For the record, it is phonetically pronounced Lop' wa, not La pooah'...

I hope to see you at either Winnsoboro or Ridgway this summer.

I suppose you want me to pronounce Rapala and Sako correctly too!!! Euro's... so picky about everything.

Funny,
Back in the early 90's a young guy and his wife moved into my old neighborhood, didn't take long to figure out he was a fisherman from Minny- sota and a good one, we took my boat out to a lake one morning and he asked if I had any Rap-a-la's , I made fun of him because we always pronounced it Ra-paula.
Later when fishing shows became more popular on cable tv and they had advertisements pronouncing it they way he did I felt like a tard!!!!
Many European names pronounced correctly seem awkward to Americans, not sure why, I still say say-ko instead of sock-o even though I know it's wrong.
But if it'll make you happy Adam!!!....... :)
