Webmaster Message

Well fellow hobbyists, it's been exactly 2 years to the day since I took the helm as webmaster, and they said "It'll go about 2 years - always does." They didn't know why, but they were right. A considerably younger, much quicker, and exceedingly more computer-eze knowledgeable Marty Schrader has generously offered to take a whack at webmaster. Marty has considerable experience as club's webmaster and will do a great job for the Barnstormers. See you at the fields and functions with my trusty video camera. Scott Barrie
