ARCH - Archery Marshal's Handbook

[Bob Dewart]

Greetings and Hi There,

Being a volunteer should be a mark of pride not a catch all excuse.

And the guy yelling about this stuff is getting paid just as much as the
rest of you are.

About 8 or 9 years ago, I had my try at publishing.  I WILL NOT do it again.
And I've been much kinder then they were.
