ASA National Umpire School

[DaveASA/FED]

Bretman,
Ya I made it and now that you mention the black jacket I did see you from a distance, not close enough to read your name badge I was looking for you those two days, not as many Bret's there...didn't see any Bret name tags when I was looking! Sorry I missed meeting you I was also looking forward to it.

Can't believe you didn't see me, I was the guy in the light blue shirt and navy pants (honest to goodness ASA pants too) with black shoes wearing an ASA hat.... (since you were expecting it I didn't want to let you down) And for the record I am from Middletown, IN....although my certificate for the clinic says Middletown, OH.....O well I got a shirt that shows I was there! I believe I was the first David in the Ch catagory. My wife went with me (shopped all day she is not an umpire) and I told her Saturday night that I felt stupid that I didn't give you a description of myself, or ask for one of you, with 100+ umpires there it was like finding a needle in a haystack!

Wade,
FYI during high school season I do wear gray! And at my national last year I also wore gray....and I am assumming since my national this year is also in Ill. that I will wear gray for it too!! So does that qualify me as at least 1/2 an umpire??
