Calmex,
Thanks for a very enjoyable, but long, read---loved every minute of it.

BTW, you must have superceded me as the youngest Section Coordinator---I was 25 when we started our club and 26 when Jeff gave us "Section" status and appointed me Coordinator. I was also at the early Bianchi Cups--our paths have undoubtedly crossed.

Thanks again for a great story.
