Leagues will continue as scheduled.
Curt Johnson, Stan Graber and Doug Denson shoot a 6 under to snatch the Manager's Scramble title from four other teams, two of which shot 5 under, D Wininger-G Potts-K Byron and W Souerdike-G Love-J Nickless(who bogeyed to deny themselves a shot at the title in overtime). S Hodges-K Stoll-D Lemmon-J Allen hit 4 under and D Webb-L Hembree-G Webb covered the rear with a 2 under. All of you were kind to share your thoughts about Mike's departure and started the scramble with a prayer (Dad was not much of a prayer guy, but would appreciate the thoughtfulness and goodness coming from a community of golfers.) Just awesome!
Several folks have expressed dismay about schedule conflicts with the Celebration of Life for Michael Bird at 1:30 on Saturday, particularly the Butcher-Gee scramble. Hmm...I wonder which one Dad would have preferred to go to!? Please feel no guilt if you cannot make the celebration. So many of you have already shared your sorrow and expressed your empathy for all of the Bird family. I (Eric) have especially benefited from being around you during Thursday league, Saturday morning scramble and Sunday golfers. Incredible the outpouring of friendship...You have helped me through this insane time...and I have shared your thoughts with the rest of the family...All of you are great! I know that Dad thought so too...he did enjoy being around all of you!
