Missed the gang from Saratoga, too! But, it was indeed a pleasure and an honor to work this shoot. I will strive to have as much passion for and dedication to the program as Josey Wales. Seriously, he is top notch!

Hot sun on Sat and cold rain on Sun---couldn't ask for more diverse conditions. Our shooters hung in amazingly well for the duration, even those who had some physical difficulties with position changes. Nick saw to it that each person was treated at the level of their need. Thus, each shooter improved markedly over the weekend, and expressed a desire to return and try again. That's the technique we need to emulate and the perseverance we seek.

As I made the last minute decision to go, I really thought to myself, "Isn't this something. Me, putting together my gear, securing a room, etc, my wonderful wife releasing me to attend, as well as packing copious amounts of excellent edibles, all taking a couple of hours. What a small effort, really, taking hours to get ready, compared to those who saw the need, dropped what they were doing on a moment's notice, and left home in the middle of the night, and, risking everything, went out to secure OUR freedom."

I thought "They didn't care if they had their cell phone charger, or clean socks, or bottled water sufficient for the journey.

I have to ask myself: "How can I measure up to that?"


Strength and honor,

Bill
