Epilogue…
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Well, folks, the 2008 Thin Blue Line Invitational is in the books. I feel like it was a great success despite sone nasty weather. You, the officers, are one fantastic bunch of people! There was a lot of hard work, sleepless nights and hours and hours of preparation to make this match happen…people, it was worth every drop of sweat! When I looked out and saw over 130 South Carolina law enforcement officers ready to tackle the course, eager to win money for their charities, I felt like I was the ultimate beneficiary of your charity. Thank you for being who and what you are. I consider each and every one of you my friend and I am proud to be able to host you for one special day. When I said that you are my heroes, I meant it!
There are so many people to thank! Mike Mitchell, of course…Mike is a stage design genius and builds stages for our IDPA events on a regular basis. But I think he invests more of himself in preparing the stages for the Thin Blue Line. He, like I, really wants you all to have a good time shooting challenging stages that really test your skill. Mike is a great guy, a great friend to me and a true friend to all law enforcement personnel.
I will add to the thank you list as soon as my energy level increases…. 
Please continue to check back here for updates and information about the 2009 Thin Blue Line Invitational. Of course, all of you who shot the 2008 will have a “reservation” for the 2009 event. Just let me know that you will be coming and I will make sure you have a slot.
Enough for now. It’s been a helluva weekend. I will be back here very soon with more news…
