COMMENTS FROM THE 4TH VP

 

Hello from the Fourth Vice President.  It is an honor to be selected to serve you in this capacity.  I look forward to seeing you in the following months during this year’s tournament schedule.   This was my second year pitching and attending the State Tournament.  It was terrific to see so many pitchers in one place and the camaraderie was excellent.  It would be interesting to total up the number of years of horseshoe pitching experience we had in one location. 

The Melbourne Club is to be congratulated for their great effort and service to the FSHPA.  There are a myriad of items to be considered when hosting the State Tournament and they did a great job.  I’m already looking forward to visiting Clearwater next year.
