by Earl Smith, the tournament director.  A Certificate and later, the

  We had ok attendance (30).  The temperature was nice, about
75 Degrees at 10 AM, peaking to about 77 Degrees at 1:PM.   It was
nice to see Walter Ray Williams Jr. at our little local tournament.
Additionally, a fellow traveled from Hawaii and threw as well.  He
mentioned he would try to visit all Northern California clubs.

The club thanks those members who came up north to come visit us    
and we hope to return the favor soon.

I want to thank Earl Smith for volunteering to run the tourny,
his first shot as tournament director.  Earl made good use of
the telephone, and had work assignments well in line.  Must be
all those years involved in Parlimentary Procedure!

Thank you Earl!

We wish all those good luck at the world tournament.  Casey, Gail,
Earl Smith and Ken Schulze.  (Sorry if I missed anyone).

We'll follow the results on the NHPA web page.
