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.

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

Unfortunately, this was not a game........ A real sad state of affairs over there.

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!
