From The Executive Vice-President,Terry Ballowe
Dave Burpee stated in last summer’s FLIGHT that he was going to step down from the Executive Vice-President’s job and concentrate on his retirement and enjoy himself. I would like to thank Dave for all of the work that he has done not only as the Vice President, but also as the former Hunting Vice President. In fact, I would like to thank all of the exiting officers: President -Paul Vogel, Field Vice President -Cay McManusas well as Dave Burpee for a job well done.
I would like to introduce myself to those of you in the VBA who don’t know me and give you a little background about myself. As with most of you, when I first joined the VBA in 1989 I was just looking for a place to practice for hunting season. I had no intention of becoming active in the club or the VBA. After a couple of months at the range, a friend talked me into going to a field tournament, at which I probably had the worst score in the history of BHFS. I was hooked and couldn’t get enough. Since then, I have gotten more involved not only at the club level but also at the state level. I have beenShenandoahCountyArcher’s club director at the VBA meeting for about 12 years and have served on several committees. Now, I take on a new challenge of Executive Vice President. With the help ofHolly Wilfongas the FLIGHT editor, I hope you won’t be screaming for the start of impeachment proceedings too quickly.
