Mark Palmer-(i think was the head judge) great seeing you its been a while,thanks for your kind words and encouragement to Terri after she was banged up and great job on making sure each record was right Mike Landrich-thanks for some awesome flying weights(mul;tiple sets..nice weights!) also thnx for the new ring..Terri loves throwing your weights and trys to recomend you to anyone who asks where can I get that kind of weight-also nice catching up with you-we should go shooting sometime..that would be a hoot! Courtney McGuire-always a pleasure as your energy is infectious-great assest not only to the womens class but to highland games Juli Peterson-great to meet and share some thoughts with you-congrats on your gritty win..look forward to seeing you at future games Beth Burton,Josee Morneau..good job and nice meeting you Mike Dickens-great job and impressive throwing..throwing bombs over 2 days..great assest to the highland games,your girlfriend Teresa is a great athlete and was determined to drop some huge numbers and came away with 3 new WR's Harvey Barkakaus-you still amaze me with your drive...thanks bigtime with the help with Terris injury-without your buddies help probably wouldnt have been able to finish day 2 and secure her 4th MWC Doug Ballard,Berle Conrad,Jim Spaulding,mark Howe,Frank Henry,Scott depanfillis-great seeing you and hope you had great throwing days Womens 50+ Class & Lightweight women-this was the class that I saw both days(thanks Capt Obvious) and all 11 ladies were entertaining,friendly,encouraging to each other and flatout threw bombs! these 11 women were great and I can say honestly have restored my faith in the camradiere of the highland games athlete...words of encouragement,nice taseless joke,lending and borrowing of equipment and some great eyes on technique flaws and how to correct them.

Great seeing you and Terri again and as you mentioned in you text, it's all about camaraderie. To be able to aid someone is a far greater award. I'm still hurting like 10 men but really enjoyed giving all I had. Take care.

It was great to see Terri throw again. I just wish she hadn't gotten injured so I could see her at her best
