I worked set up and a lot of Nationals with JJ. Always had a good time. Keith

I know what you are going thru. I did the same thing 10 years ago. My wife had bilateral mastectomys, went thru chemo and radiation the following year. Everything turn out well and she has been okay since. The best advise that I had recieved at the time from one of her doctor collegues was in three parts: support and understanding, support and understanding, and support and understanding. Mood swings very, attitudes very. Just try to understand what she's going thru and support it. You Have To Help Her survive....Two weeks ago I was told that I have non Hodgkin's lymphoma and I'm starting chemo next Tuesday. Guess who got the lecture on "suport and understanding....... Call or email me if I can help you support your wife. Keith

I have worked from 6-7 major matches per year for about 6 years which has also involved set up for nationals. I have always enjoyed the work and the commraderie of the staff and MD's but last years Nats in LAS did me in. The physical aspect of long days and heat + my super senior status made me realize it was time to hang it up. I told the RM that it was time for me to retire before someone had to tell me too. Working major matches with 12+ stages makes it very difficult to have a staff matches for more than one day. I can not shoot my best shooting 12 hard stages in one day so therefore my score suffers. I still work matches at my local club but now leave the majors to the younger RO's. EVERY SHOOTER NEEDS TO GET RO CERTIFED AND WORK SOME MAJOR MATCHES. Hats off to all of the new RO's and CRO's that are listed every month. Keith
