Today I received the following FReepmail from Houston Curmudgeon. I think his idea is a wonderful one. I told him I would pose his question regarding what the plate should say to you folks.

I would also like to present a traveling trophy to be presented in ElRoy's name to the best shot with the biggest caliber gun each time the event is held. It's a chrome drilling bit, small and about 15 #'s. Perhaps I could get a plate made for it ... what should it say?

Great idea, you guys. I wouldn't have a clue what TC would have wanted it to say, but I know the recipient will be so honored to win something in his name.

I love Curmudgeon's idea.

I put the date on my calendar-will try to be there. I'll let you know for sure when it gets closer.

As much as I hate to suggest it, you're going to have to limit the possibilities to hand-held or at least shoulder-mounted weaponry, or I'm gonna cheat and win.

I don't think I can make it this year, but I'll see if I can rearrange my pre-Momorial Day schedule and sneak back home to Texas for the fest. But if not, I'll touch off a few for ya at the Wyoming Appleseed shoot.

Eaker will pick up the "traveling trophy" from Houston Curmudgeon tomorrow. Below are three suggestions for what should be written on the plaque, place your vote here or via FReepmail:

"This years custodian of ElRoy's Faith, Love, Trust, & FRiendship"

"The TexasCowboy Trophy Presented in Memory of our Beloved FRiend Mr. ElRoy Ray"

"Braggin Rights!"

I would like ask for your assistance is establishing the criteria for winning the trophy.

The best shot with the biggest caliber gun is a good idea, but might automatically knock wimps like me from the running.
