Thank you for your kind words!

If you would ask some of the other posters on this forum, some of them would admit to knowing me for a while, via internet boards and the like which are gone but not forgotten.

They wil also tell you I am as traditionalist an umpire as you will find, so trying a helmet is a pretty radical thing for me. I was one of those guys who never thought a HSM was good, and I swore I would never wear anything but a mask and hat. I'm not toally sold on it yet, but I am impressed with it.

I do hope to get some guidence about fitting these things a little better, and I'll wear it somemore, and see where we go with it. But I will be able to tell my new umpire students in the future that if they want to go with an HSM, go for it.
