Sneaking on to the list without a Formal introduction of yourself....
Geez.... well I never ( I know I bet you never have)
Hey Guys and Gals... Cris and Ed Shearer are the folks that meet you at the
End of the Long Course... great folks... bring you a Cool Towel and a cold
drink of water.
( in Ed and Joe's case they bring Fire Extinguishers )
I think they reserve the Towels for Records Personally...
These Two are also the TWO CLUB man of the YEAR... for 98? I think....
Great folks....
Keith ( Hey Cris & ED... welcome to the List!!! )

a hand off the bars to open and close the doors.

running wore it quickly but who cares.
