FLCC> Fwd: ESSG volunteer thanks

[Mark Rishniw]

Marcia said it more elegantly than I ever could.  While I 
half-organized the race, and then dumped it in her lap a week before 
the event, she managed to pull it together with the help of a great 
crew of FLCCers.  THANK YOU ALL!!! (but especially Marcia).  I was 
presenting a talk at 8AM on the Saturday of the race, but called late 
in the day to see how things went.  Your great efforts allowed me to 
go and drink excessively that evening, knowing that all was well.

Again, thanks.  I'll try not to abandon ship next year (if there is a 
next year).

>received.
>Sara Barker, who helped out with registration and finish line duties.
>Andrejs Ozolins, who helped with the the TT starts and then marshalled a

>(I have to say no thanks at all to Don Fitterer, who by rights should have

>out! Hah!)

>I also want to acknowledge the support for the ESSG cycling events we

>Greek Peak, for letting us use the facilities, and thanks to George, in
>particular, for giving up what turned out to be a lot more of his Saturday
>than he'd planned on to help us out.
>TLC ambulance service, who were on site all day, "just in case."
>Virgil Volunteer Fire Department, who helped with traffic control at
>critical corners all day.
>
>All in all, the events went extremely well, and that would not have
>happened without all of you! Participants gave lots of positive feedback,
>and I'd say we can all be proud of ourselves if the most common complaint
>from participants was that we lacked cream for the coffee...

>Thanks again, everyone!
