Fortunate that you folks were there.

A young lady that fell and got a pavement rash certainly thought so. We


got there first aid, a repair truck, and back in the race. Year before
that, a fellow had a collision with a rear view mirror on a car and
messed his hand up.


And while maybe it *could* have been done by "professionals", the fact is that
it *was* done by amateurs.

Some folks get all bent out of shape by such plain, simple facts.

Whatever else can be said about hams, in general, they provide
inexpensive and reliable support for public events in which they give
free time to support charities or other nonprofit groups. Not possible
to dispute.

That some people have a problem with that is a bigger statement about
those people than it is about Hams.
