On behalf of the MT Appleseed Instructor Corps, I want to extend a huge thank you to Countree for getting us a table at the recent Friends of the NRA banquet in Great Falls. Countree not only got us a table, but he made sure every table at the event had an Appleseed trifold pamphlet, and an article on the project. We ate like kings, and had a huge opportunity to plug the program.

After staying up well past one to finish wrapping up the banquet, Countree still showed up bright and early Sunday morning to instruct. Hell, he even schmoozed with the media when they arrived. You are a valuable asset to the program, a fantastic instructor, and a good friend. Thanks for all you do, Countree.

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.

I had a hard time deciding between the winking photo of Countree, or the really good candid shot I got of him.

Ole Countree is quite a guy, he also make sure there is food at the shoots.
Thanks Paul!

Countree

Thanks fellas!

I just saw this thread.... and the whole deal is all well worth it!

I hope that the trifolds (complete with inserts) will help fill the line! I also threw a few shirts and gift certs into some baskets and I hope to hear from the winners for the July event (or any other event in MT)!
