Next week, on Sat. May15th, the Paul Hanson Memorial will host their 26th anniversary. It is the longest running fundraiser here and a tradition with many: "Bogey Men", AKA - "The Lewis Family and Friends", pictured right in 2009 (Scott Hamilton, Alan Lewis, Bill Lewis and Bob Lewis), have participated every year!

And, of course, we will miss Mary Batson (pictured below), whose 2010 participation would have also been her straight 26th appearance. She always played with "Patriots", but, Mary, an avid golfer, "professional volunteer" in her beloved Women's Golf Association and a friend with the Hanson family, passed on late last year.

At the moment, we do not know if any of the Hanson family members will participate this year, as they all live in Oklahoma and parts of Texas. Also pictured, during the "Quarter Century" Paul Hanson Memorial last year, Mrs. Hanson and son, Brian.

John Samford (Business Services Director) and Robert Gintaut, Athletic Director, will be in charge of this year's event. To enter your team, call me at 979-GOLF or call Jennifer Stanley at 721-1092.

As always, it will be a 4-Man Team, you have to name your team, there will prizes on almost every hole (long putt, long drives, short drives, straight drives, closest to pin and others), and the top three teams in gross and net, will be recognized. The handicap system used will also be the same, Modified Sheer as modified by Ed Ping, former Gallup McKinley Schools Athletic Director.

Hurry up and sign up.... don't miss it!
