Welcome Michael:

What part of Texas you in? There are a few Texicans on this board, of which I am one. I am in North Texas myself, and work a lot of ball in the North Dallas area.

Thanks for the welcome. I live in Pflugerville, just outside of Austin. I am from Denison though, so I do love that North Texas area.

Welcome to the board Mike.

I am from East Texas. Work with a lot of Austin umpires
when doing the AFA tournaments. Gene Hawkins, Jayne McCarthy, Steve Maloney, and others.

Good to have you aboard.

No, but I think I remember you. I am from Woodville.
Steve and I called the Brenham Classic together last Feb..
I did get the opportunity to call with him at the Nats.
[and we are speaking AFA, right?] this year, but remember
we had several new faces.

I was one of the smokers that kept getting in trouble with
Anne.

I am not originally from here, moved here about 10 years ago. However, my wife graduated from DHS in 1980.

Tsk tsk tsk. If you would give it up, there wouldn't be anything to get in trouble about. I quit 6 years ago after a 20 year, 2 1/2 to 3 pack a day habit. You know what they say about reformed smokers don't ya????

Welcom to the group. I'm from Ft Worth. I've called with Gene Hawkins. He's one of the best I have ever had to privilege to call with. I got to call in the Nationals for PONY in Round Rock the last two years.
