Thanks For The Help and Support
Hi all:

I was playing at Desert Breeze in the 60M last weekend when the heat took me out Friday afternoon. I want to sincerely thank everybody who came to help plus the umps and tournament director. My teammates and their Wives were awesome. I never did get to meet the person who helped me the most so if somebody can get me his name and email address I would sure appreciate it.
This was not the first time I have been KO's by the heat but this one was different. For those who don't know when this happens you have no idea where you are or who is speaking to you. You are lost and helpless.

Thanks again and I am forever grateful.

I also played this past weekend at desert breeze but wasnt aware of your situation. I'm hoping you have recovered. I believe one day the temperature reached 105°. On Sunday we played six games in 99° heat.

Great point James and I hope you have recovered. Good advice and words to remember. The other contributing factor is that at Desert Breeze, we played on synthetic turf which raises the temperature an extra 10 to 15 degrees. I got a heads-up on the heat issue from some of the local players during the managers meeting. Heat exhaustion can sneak up on you without warning. My hats off to every 55+ & 60+ team that competed in the Worlds under the extreme heat conditions.

Bruce, you guys on the Edge team have a great group of very talented players and it was indeed a pleasure to compete against your team. The heat played a huge factor this past weekend. Playing four games under those conditions can be taxing on the best. I wish you all the success this next season.
