Just wanted to give out a SHOUT OUT to my INCREDIBLE BLACK FLY STAFF: Eric D. Burdo, Garrett Black, Justin Orazi, Ross Gordon, Parker Smith, Erin Smith, Don Hutchions, Tom Ball, Erik Johnson, Eric Gardiner, Esther Hall, Bruce Johnson, Gregg Bernstein, Keith Nile and his lovely wife, my great nephews Anthony and Ryder for helping move mats, and all the kids and Dave Hatheway on cleanup crew. Most will never know the challenges we faced the day of the event, obstacles that would have been insurmountable for anyone except this INCREDIBLE CREW of SUPERSTARS, many who VOLUNTEER to trade a Sunday off for a day of HARD WORK to make this very special event for THE KIDS.
