Wow...That makes that program a collector's item...Program alone is worth the price of admission ...That was a memorable photo...Was taken at Ridgway at the NRA Nationals last season....Mini Kitty had swept all 4 sub junior national titles and Pharr, after 20 years of getting close, had won the open class hunter gun National Championship....with a gun that he had built from scratch... I had the priviledge of watching it all unfold through the spotting scope...I rode Pharr like a rented mule to get him to focus on the spots that I was giving him...can't remember ever being that exhausted after a match...lots of fun....this was the year that Mini Kitty went into day 3 of the hunter rifle smallbore open championship tied with Cathy for first place overall...bad weather on the turkey line and GREAT shooting by the incomparable Cathy Winstead Severin earned her the open class title...fun times.

It's just starting to sink in that this is the last dance for Winnsboro, a match that I've always looked at as our Homecoming.....when the tents are struck this time it's going to be a painful thing.

Need to say thanks to David, Jerry, and Robin and all the support staff for many years of priceless memories.

Kitty you may need a bigger tent and table to accommodate the crowds gathering for autographs! Will it be enough room in the F-Troop tent? If not you can use Steiger's tent!

[jneihouse]

Can't use Steiger's tent, you never know where it's going to be when you show up in the morning...it tends to "migrage". He still blames me for that, even though I wasn't in the picture

All are welcome to visit under the F Troop tent....and don't forget Adam Braverman will be there with the Lapua War Wagon and tent and is bringing the computer ammo testing equipment again...shooters may lie about the groups they shoot with their stuff, but the computer doesn't lie....You will also be able to get more information on the Lapua Rimfire Testing facility they have set up in Mesa AZ. Grand opening is the 24th of April. Mini Kitty and I are making plans to be there for the grand opening...

My autograph and Mini Kitty's will be easy to get..Pharr's maybe a little harder...If he's awake he's talking, if he's asleep he's snoring.......
