Go USA!

Post by JimmyG »

I know this isn't related to Bertram's but I'm busting at the seems to tell everyone. I am as proud as I could be of my son he is on ACCC college archery team and has been shooting all over the nation and is ranked 4th in the country he was then asked to represent USA againt 60 other countries in 25th Torneo Batalla De Carabobo international World university Archery Championships in Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela. He e-malied us today it's actually pretty funny even though they are in deplorable conditions!
GO USA!!!

Tell him to stop at the Tropic Star Lodge on his way back, and we'll buy him a few kool-aids......

Good!

Good for your son, glad he's doing well - BUT, he'd never cut it at Port Eads, where Palmetto bugs share the bathroom and sand crabs get in Rick's hair.

Must be in the Bertram blood, I used to small bore target shoot, placed in the nationals...started thinking about going further but then my attention shifted towards girls.
Sounds like he's got it going on, best of luck to him and I can see why you would be proud.
