I have a real quick ????? To OBRA,or Vernon,,When did I volenteer,to score The Garnett Race????? I must have been DRUNK @ Hominey,or maybe you Telepathicly asked... If you did I did not get the message...Butch took it for granted last year I would do all the races.. Do not ,I repeat DO NOT take it for granted... A person likes to be asked.. I was NOT asked... and I have a tendency to get really agravatted when I am taken 4 granted... Ask Jeff.....I will do it this time only..Next time ASK!!!!! | |

Not sure why everyone needs to get mad or irritated . Just because Vernon listed someone to poss do a job at the race , does not really mean your obligated to do it. Iam sure you were listed as to past history of doing it - no harm - if you don't want to do it , then just let him know . I know of another who is mad because they were not listed to do something and felt left out. "communication" from both directions is needed - but to get upset is a waste of energy. Vernon is working hard to make a perfect race for us all and he is just listing what he thinks he has covered. Again, Iam sure he is not taking anyone for granted and is not on purpose leaving anyone out . SOOOOO, if you want a job in putting on the race , or you don't want to be assigned , just call him and tell him, no need to get mad. | |

Alright i got to admit i missed a very important phone call,,,,,,,,Call Patsy for permission... I had that call on my list but due to Dan Crumett being so effecient and getting this newsletter out so fast. (spread the blame around )---- i dropped the ball . I'll be happy to find someone else to help . Experienced scorekeepers are a rare comodity . You and Sandy are good at your job and we all know it .You're always welcome on the stand . I wouldn't want to be volunteered for this position even if it payed 100.00 hr .... One thing i will promise all on the stand ---- This is a NO FLY ZONE for anyone not a RACE OFFICIAL. I will personally tackle you if you don't belong there .. The judges stand is a very busy place and distractions aren't allowed .... I challange anyone to work the stand for a couple heats and walk away without brain damage . All the prior preperations for this race will hopefully keep things rolling smoothly. Sorry Patsy !!!!!

I DO HUMBILLY APPOLIGIZE IF ANYONE THOUGHT I WAS MAD.. NOT SO ,JUST A LITTLE AGGRAVATED..As you have been told by me,I am part Irish..I definattly was not Mad.. You see this was done to me all last yr.I was volenteered,for sign up and score keeping..And was not told till I got to the race site.By the OBRA pres. Therefore putting me on the spot, because no one else would do it.If Charollette Lewis had not stepped up when she did,I would have been a raveing Lunitic ..Again my appol. I was trying to be funny,by the remark about telepathy...I will be honored to score keep @ Garnett | |

I think the search is over for a "top notch" announcer for Garnett... Burnin' Vernon did one heckuva great job announcing at Rockaway... really helped the crowd follow the races and explained what they were seeing. It actually sounded as if he knew what he was talking about!!!
Good job Vernon!
