As President and Tournament Director for the Virginia State Singles it is hard to determine who I should thank first, the pitchers, the score keepers, the state council, the hosting club or Mother Nature for such a smooth event. A couple of small glitches but nothing major happened in the time table of the event. All of our state council members filled in over the entire event working the data entry. Thank you Council members! Mother Nature, I thank you MOM for a spectacular weekend and especially on Saturday night. Your full moon, low humidity and warm temperatures, the bonfire that the club had started was barely needed, but much appreciated by a few that stayed up and attended to watch the event Saturday night. Your show was spectacular! Thank you to all of the Stuarts Draft Club Members for your outstanding preparations. The new scoreboards were fantastic! Everyone really enjoyed seeing their real scores as they happened. The new PA System added a sense of control over the entire event. Working with the new PA it felt great! I need a score keeper on Court 5? How did that happen? The judges, thank you Jacob Ford, Harland Sousi, and David Cowan Jr. they where out fitted with walkie-talkie receivers. Communicating that a seat was empty an announcement was made and shortly after the seat was filled. Having score keepers certainly makes your experience as a pitcher that much more enjoyable and over the entire event, they filled in and nobody had to keep their own score! A few delays but over all they filled the chairs quickly. Thank you scorekeepers! You as a pitcher, I thank you for staying on your courts. In the entire event I did not have to announce where is So and So! Thank you pitchers! Our business meeting stayed on track as well. Three positions were up for vote, President, 2nd and 3rd vice. The toughest to fill is the President spot. I really don t understand why that is, but I thank you all for your vote of confidence. Our 2nd Vice President the last two years was Carl Otto. I accepted his resignation in that position, and thanked Carl for all he has done during his time on the council. His seat was filled by Sherwood Brown, leaving the 3rd Vice open for a floor nomination and vote. I welcome Tonya Hix Goodman to the state council as 3rd Vice. Handing out two very special awards this year in closing our meeting certainly warmed my heart. Recognizing the friends of Thomas Banks that saved his life nearly brought the man to tears. Truly an outstanding effort by Hugh Cline, Dwain Hammond, Russell Charity and Larry Reese. The VaHPA appreciates your heroic feat. Followed by an award to our Walking Encyclopedia, Floyd Hix, 50 YEAR
MEMBER, that s right! Fifty years of membership in the National Horseshoe
Pitchers Association is much harder than getting a perfect game. Floyd, we
thank you for all your contributions over the years in your longevity,
organizing and promoting our sport. You are special! I sincerely thank all of you for making this one of the smoothest singles
I can remember.
