I want to thank the Academy and...(sounds almost like an Oscar acceptance so far)...Ford Motor Co. for a job well done. I had concerns when I walked in the door Saturday and saw the size of the pits and the seating capacity in the multi-purpose room, but you know: it just didn't matter! It goes to show what hard work and careful organization of some dedicated people can accomplish. In fact, this was my favorite Invitational in many ways: it had a real cozy feel to it, a great set of announcers (esp. Joe/Woodie), gutsy refs (although they made some tough calls against my team), incredible trophies, and the matches ran like clockwork! All this doesn't just happen: I know that Sue's hand was at work in all of this and I'm happy that everything went so well for her, the Robohamas and Ford Motor Co.
