Part of the sadness of this great Tournament is the sad loss of our fellow Rotarian Ron Geiger who was the powerhouse behind the scene meticulously organizing, tracking and administering our registrations and financially keeping the event on target. He volunteered in this role for many many years possibly ever since it started 21 years ago. We miss him and all send our most comforting heartfelt wishes to his wife Penny….
