ARCH - Archery Question

[Bob Dewart]

I use to be a herald, and I think you do pretty good job of it.

My point is, if you do want to do those things, go for it.  The  more the
merrier.  Some fresh blood actually getting out there  and doing things
would be  good.

Sorry for being a bit short there.
