From Bill Pierson:

Cheryl Pierson underwent breast cancer surgery on Friday. She was diagnosed with a stage one cancer on one side only. Hopefully, the surgery, a lumpectomy, will get it all and she can move on. She'll require radiation treatments, but no chemotherapy unless they find cancer in those nasty lymph nodes.

Texas Men's State is just a few weeks off. As you are planning for this competition, remember fto bring something to put in the Silent Auction. This is one of the ways that we fund this competition.

From Bucky Seelig:
