Jul/Aug - uspsa

the organization was the chance to
meet new people and to work with
great people, the camaraderie, the
great feeling of being part of a team
and being a team player. I guess my reward
for the work I have contributed
to the sport was seeing that the scores
were done on time and accurate. One
of the neatest things is to be waiting for
the last score card, on the last day of
the match, and have the results finished
within five minutes after the last shot
was fired. Another reward was receiving
thanks from my fellow workers,
from the shooters, from the staff at Nationals,
and from the staff at the other
shoots that I have worked. Just to receive
a note on the scorecard is fun,
some would say "Hl STATS," or we
would get smiley faces.
1989 was my first year to work registration
and stats at the Nationals, and
I had the privilege of working with
Marilyn Stanford. I must say she is
quite the lady. Marilyn taught me a lot,
and it was always a fun time working
with her. I can remember it would take
us up to five hours to stuff the shooters
packets; we would have the gals from
PASA, shooters, and anyone else that
we could "con" into helping us stuffing
packets. When it was time for the
shooters to register, what a RUSH!! ...
Man, it seems liked you just opened the
gates and all the shooters were coming
in at once. Then after a couple of
hours you'd get a lull and you could
catch your breath! Whew!
After Marilyn had changed occupations,
President Andy Hollar and his
lovely wife, Sarah, asked me if I would
be in charge of registration and stats.
So that is how my stats career really advanced,
but I was so lucky to have such
good training thanks to Marilyn and
Dave. Andy and Sarah had to go
through a lot of changes, as this is
about the time we had two Nationals.
They and the volunteers devoted a
tremendous amount of time and energy
to make everything work
smoothly and have a successful match.
Do you have a favorite match to
speak of?
I can't really say that I have a ta-
vorite match, as each match has their
own personality, so to speak, and memories.
But the first time I went to Nationals
in 1987, in Barry, Ill., it was
awesome! They used to have a ladies
match before Nationals, where you
could win a slot to shoot the Nationals.
The set-up crew would come up with
some really neat courses of fire. One
time we rode in the back of a pickup
that had barricades in it, and we shot
the targets as they came into view.
That was wild. I can remember me being
really nervous, and we got to shoot
with the "Top Ladies." That was also
the first time I had ever seen black Pepper
poppers; at that time we were all
shooting with iron sights. What a surprise!
When you would go to shoot the
poppers, your front sight would disap-

pear. The other thing that was so overwhelming
was the sponsor's tent, it
was so neat, you felt that you were in a
shooters' mall! Needless to say, we had
a ball. We got to meet Dave and Marilyn
Stanford for the first time. What a
great couple. We all had so much fun,
we laughed a lot, and took tons of pictures;
we were the one-hour photo's
best customers. That particular year I
did not get to shoot the Nationals, as I
had missed by one place, but I got to
shoot Nationals the next year, and it
was a blast. I remember it was always
an adventure to see what Chris Edwards
would come up with for the Nationals.
(Right, Bat Man?)
