-Thanks Chris for the update. Art will be missed and I think he
received an overproportionate share of the blame. The truth is,
though, that we couldn't get out of the first round three years in a
row and that is what counts in this business. Best of luck Art,
but even more luck to Ken Macha.

I must be the happiest person, because I bought a ken Macha
jersey two years ago and now I will be wearing around the
manager.

On a more important note, The Green Stampede is filing its
Articles of Incorporation and By laws this week with the Secretary
of State of California. By next year, we will be an official 501(c)(3)
non profit organization. The first meeting of 2003 will be an
important one so stay tuned.
