This match is dedicated to the memory of a friend and long-time clays match competitor, Lee Meyers 1924-2009, 85 years old.

The weather today was perfect. Lee would have wholeheartedly approved.

71degrees, in the range building, in the shade. Blue sky outside and no rain predicted for the foreseeable future. Perfect.

Thanks to Chuck Nicodemus for hosting our match, and to Chuck Treat, The Arrays Impressario, for designing the stages. We used Target Array Set C today, and it was challenging to the extreme. Thanks to Doug McLean for running and scoring the match. Even though this reporter won the Open Class, Doug swallowed hard and stayed to the end anyway. I think Doug had a good time anywayt today, in our beautiful weather. But with Doug, who can tell?

We had a smaller than usual entry today, it being Memorial Day Weekend. Let us all remember those who have served in our military and that made our country great.

Today is a day of rememberance. We remember our Veterans, and we remember Lee Meyers who just joined his wife in Paradise. Let us all join together and say "Welcome Home, Lee!!"
