Mc,

Don't move to East Texas. Things are just as bad. There was one clinic
and that was for umpires to be State Playoff certified. 7 and 1/2 hours of
films and talk. No field training. Our chapter did not hold the first
field clinic and we have 7 newbies.

We have also received 7 letters from coaches wanting rule interps that were
in most cases misapplied. I think three of the seven were handled correctly.
I started by 46th year this year, and will continue and until the coaches
players and counterparts tell me I am not hacking it anymore. Stay
with us, for from what you saying, things can only get better.
