Recap
What started out as a cool, rainy morning turned into a warm, sunny day for the Oak Hill event. Course Designer Howard Montgomery prepared a challenging yet fun series of courses for the day. Highlights were a visit from old friends Ken Lapin & Sarah Peck and our visitors from western Pennsylvania, Yaki Barak and Alexis Rzewski. Alexis wanted to get his money’s worth, so he attempted to clear all 27 controls used on the courses. He pretty much did it, too.
A big thank you to all of our volunteers:
Course Designer – Howard Montgomery
Course Setter – Jamey Price
Registrar – Guy Russ
Starter & Instructor – Andreas Johansson
Control Collectors – Vera Yudovina, Richard Davies, Sanae Rogers, and Ivan Redinger, along with his daughter (sorry that I didn’t get her name)
Also, a huge thank you to Kathy Jo Rufener for charging the timing device batteries in her car after they died. It saved the day. Thanks also to Ken Lapin for his general assistance throughout the day.
