10 Things I Loved about Thursday Night ! David Letterman style

Time to say THANKS for the support !

The list of people who have helped pave the way in getting the idea of Around The Valley in 60 Days is growing so I felt it was time to stop and update the list! My Daughters-Sabrena and Rebecca for their hours of work on the design and lay-out side of things. This is finals time at UVA so Rebecca has taken a break from updating the Web Pages but will be back at it soon! Dan Simpson- Washington Post Circulation Manager- Dan leads the team at the Post that is responsible for the majority of work I do at Crystal Clear Delivery. Mike Petre & Chuck McGill- The two most recent Sports Editors from the Northern Virginia Daily that gave me the opportunity to cover the league the past two seasons. Randy Arrington- Editor of Page News and Courier and responsible for Shenandoah Valley Herald as well. Randy was there from the beginning when the idea was little more than scribbled on a napkin. His Sports editors Bill Meade (Page) and John Galle (Shenandoah) have both been great to work with and...
