As last year's award winner for the one who traveled the farthest to get
there, I can vouch for everything Allen said about the PA rally, and it was
worth every mile to get there from Tennessee. I will look forward to winning
that coveted honor again this year. <G>
And I also agree with the chipping in of participants to help with the
expenses of the meet. Kevin is one of the most gratious people I have ever
met and is completely willing to do this on his own, but darn it Kev, this is
too much fun to have for free, guy! I think the $5 hat is a grande idea.
You put enough time into this without even mentioning the money outlay.
Sooooo. . .I'm wonderin' if any further-away guys are gonna challenge my
rights to the traveled the furthest cup? Hey Frank, they can't be "OFFICIAL"
Badge-wearing, card-carrying members of the "WE CHEAP" club without being
inducted at the PA Rally can they?
