Yep I was there. Meant to find you but never did. I was part of a "tag team" (husband and wife), one of two from Lagrange. Am 4th from left on back row.
Having Merle as an instructor was a pleasant surprise. He is definitely a fine gentleman, and a very good clinician. Seems to be a good role model as an Umpire as well as a person. Jim craig also very knowledgable, but as he alluded to Merle, "he can teach you the proper way to umpire, he wrote the book". Anyone having chance to learn from these two ought to jump on it.
Kudos to the Dalton Umpires Association. The hospitality was great. Gatherings like that, as well as this board really make umpiring fun.
BTW, have had a "weekend at Bernie's" hope his knee heals nicely.
