    Wow is the first words I can say. The guns at the Southern were awesome. Works of art!
    My wife, Bonnie, and I were most priviledged to attend the Southern, and were impressed with all
    facets of the outing. I met Tom Archer and his
    most capable and gracious staff, and we were so
    graciously impressed. I am paralyzed and in a wheelchair, but I thoroughly enjoyed the event.
    Bill Kempfler and his staff at Deep River should
    be commended for their hospitality. Every event
    went like clockwork. His staff at the registration desk, his parking staff, and the
    staff manning the events were very capable and
    had a generous and unselfish supply of Lee County
    hospitality
    Somehow, I suspect that the Parker squad had some
    undue influence on the sun. When the sun came out, difficult targets became challenging. I didn't shoot in the competitions, but I could see the difficulty that the wavering sunlight added.
    I did shoot the ZZ bird, and that was awesome. A
    gracious man loaned me his Winchester 21 to shoot, and that itself was a treat.
    I don't want to miss another Southern, and again
    thanks to all, especially the LC Smith people. Mine and Bonnie's heartfelt thanks to all,
    Regards, Larry
