A personal note from your webmaster and statistician: I'd like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all of the members of Box Car Peggers and players from other clubs in the area who have offered me their support, words of caring and concern, and prayers during my latest medical issues. I am recovering (perhaps a bit more slowly than I had hoped) and should be back at the tables soon. God bless you all. Jerry
