Argo's
Y'all are right on the money. I'm "argodad" because my darlin' daughter plays for the Argonauts of the University of West Florida. The Argonauts are indeed named after Jason and the Argonauts of mythology. (As my son likes to ask his sister, however, "Didn't everyone but Jason die on that cruise?") UWF is a D-II school in Pensacola FL, and finished 2003 ranked #6 in the country. She's a soph 1B.
For those who may remember, a few years ago I was known as "highvolt-sid" on the old, old Fastpitch Forum when we were with the Louisiana High Voltage.
Re my umpiring experience.... I called Little League baseball and Navy base slowpitch (with no training or certification) from the late 1970s until falling in love with fastpitch in the early 90s. Got ASA certified in VA in 1994 and called league/rec ball. Then DD got into travel ball and I spent 8 summers on the outside of the chain link (where everyone's vision is 20/20). Umpired scrimmages and friendlies only.
In 2002 I retired from the Navy, Lindsay went to college, and we moved to Pensacola. (She reminds me that she got her offer from UWF before I did.) Now I call NCAA (only JUCO until she graduates), NFHS, ASA, and NSA.
Looking forward to learning from all of you.
