I'd like to thank Don O'Shei, Arab, Howard Gordon and Jack Smith for all their help, before and after the event. Jennifer and Cindy for administrative work. I think they are a good team. Gary Fluitt for excellent stat work on the computer, Michelle Dunn and Sara(?) Gorman for waving the flag and counting cones. My daughter Nina for grouping 18 young hotties (errrrr friends) from school to be hostesses (actually 36 girls were begging her to work the event).
