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!

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

thats really great!!!...i'm sure he has a boatload of folks rooting for him now

What a great story Jimmy. He sounds like a great kid; you have reason to be proud!

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.

Congrats to you and your wife for raising a fine example of what young Americans can be with the right support and guidance!

I wish him well!

Tell him to kick some Venezulan butt!! Good job!!

Thanks guys Day one was a good one for Steven he won a gold medal at 90 meters and a Silver at 70 Meters and he is in first place overall!

Pretty damned cool Jim. Pretty damned cool!

Good for both of you!
We're all proud.

Jimmy, A big congrats to Steven and you!! and thanks for sharing the good news with us.

Great news Jimmy. I hope he is waving the flag and kicking butt.

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.

The kid's a winner like his Dad. Nothing but good things for the Faithful.

I just got the call I was waiting for GOLD!!! Steve just got done shooting olyimpic rounds, #1 in the world(college)!!!
:-D

SWEET!!! Congratulations to both of you!!!
