Effective July 21, 2002 Russ Favors will be resigning as 2nd Vice President of the AHPA. As
several of you know Russ has had a lot of problems and states that he will not be able to

Horseshoes lost a good horsepitcher this week--Karl VanSant from Cayuga. He was 77 and won many
NHPA state tournaments.

March 17,
We may have a tournament that will be called the Grand Finale.  It was suggested that a pitcher
should to pitch in at least 4 tournaments to qualify, no need to win your division.  Need
a committee get it going, and 28 to run smoothly.  If each league has two people we will have
enough.  Linda McFarland will chair the committee.  Will need players to come in early or stay
after they pitch to keep score.

The AHPA will raffle off its used computer as first place and a set of dead eye horseshoe as
second.  See your league secretary for information.
