RE: Classic Crosstown Shootout?

[Lou D'Ambrosia]

Mike,

Thank you for the reply and update!  It's really great to hear that after 
all these years the former players from UC & X still show their support for 
each other. That's just great to see!

In terms of the issue of "timing of the game" it makes sense to me to hold 
this event closer to the actual shootout date? Perhaps the day or weekend 
before and try get the support of Skyline & other sponsors to donate some 
cash for the cause? Just a thought!

Thanks again & good luck with the next event!

Lou
