Freed Captain a referee
 
Just found out that the captain recently freed off the coast of Somalia is a member of Vermont IAABO Board #105.

I heard he bet on the Navy Seals to best the the Somalia Pirates:D

Glad he's home safe!!!!!

Wow, that is very interesting. Maybe one of the other reasons he was able to be so calm and help others. That makes me rather proud.

Peace

That would help explain how he knew just where to stand when a sharpshooter went to work, wouldn't it?

And what's that other line about learning to keep your head when all those around you ...

Now there's an official who's going to get a standing O before the next game he works!

The IAABO Handbook lists a Richard Phillips, of Underhill, Vermont, on Board #105, the State of Vermont.
