Brian,
With so much talk about weenie protests taking up band width on team.net
it has reached the point of urban legend.
New and not-so-new team dot'ers should be made well aware that your
experience with Kay and Kevin are a whole lot closer to what really
happens at a major event.
There isn't an event that goes by with out some one like the Bailey's
extending themselves way above and beyond friendliness. It just doesn't
get recognized in print like you have done. I think your idea of a
sports person award should rank right up there with challenge winners.
The Bailey's and quite a few others would be the owners of a number of
additional trophies
