Bob, Gary, Glenn, Joel, Mike, Roger, Steve.....
Thanks for all the help these past 2 seasons.... You guys are a wealth of knowledge... and have what it takes to get your message across..... (Even if you have to say it twice and R..E..A..L.. Ssslllooooowwwwwww for the members from Texas.....)
I have decided that 18 seasons of Basketball and 2 of softball are enough...
There's a slight chance (<5%) of taking over as the instructional chairman in our association for basketball and that will keep my finger in the cookie jar. But as for calling, I'm done.
Reaon's???
Lakes and creeks that need to be fish....
7 Fly Rods that need building.....
Campgrounds to host....
Kids (and Grandkids?) to visit...
I did finally figure out to tie the lanyard of my whistle to the outside of my face mask..... to keep it out of the dirt everytime I had to yell "Foul Ball" (It also cut in half the number of things I had to pick up afterwards)..... to open my mouth first before ripping my mask off... And that by putting the whistle through the mask from the outside didn't leave little lines embedded in your cheek/chin from being held securely in place for a 2 hr. ball game.
I wish you all the best.... It's been a pleasure to be a part of this forum... Take care...

Chuck........

Hate to see you leave officiating...........but respect the reasons for doing so..........

Hopefully you can pass on some of what you have learned to those who are starting out........

I, like you, cannot begin to tell you the wealth of information passed onto me by the generous people of these boards..........

I have gotten to consider all of them my friends........have even gotten to meet a few over the years.......

I hope that I can have as fulfilling a carrer as you have had..........

Joel
