Thank You From Paul Maker Meet Refree Wheaton Solstice Classic

All,

First - Thanks to you all for a helping out at the Wheaton meet this weekend.  Your efforts are very much appreciated especially at this time of year when there are so many pressing priorities.  The meet was a great success and many coaches had kind words of appreciation for the efforts of the entire ABF team.  Congratulations go to Chris Choate who began the process of becoming a Ref and to Kevin Crowthers and who is on the road to becoming a Starter.
Second - please thank any others who I omitted from the CC.  I don't have a comprehensive list of emails - thanks to all.
Third - Thanks too, to all the unsung heroes, timers, runners, hospitality crew, marshalls, announcers, computer people, timing operators.   The whole team made it all work.
Fourth - Special thanks to Joanie Beisel  who maintained her usual happy disposition in spite of dealing with several hundred scratches and still kept the Admin side paperwork flowing smoothly and for all her other help before and during the meet.
Fifth - Thanks Christie for asking me to be Meet Refree.  I enjoyed the meet as usual and I look forward to the next time you ask.
Sixth - I wish all the Bluefish, Officials, Coaches, Swimmers, Parents and Alums a very Happy Holiday and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

All best,

Paul Maker
