BMC Member Guest

The BMC Member Guest has new Champions. There were 7 flights of players. After winning first in a flight, the winning 7 teams went back to play #10. 3 teams were eliminated, either by score or chipping. 4 teams were left to play #14, of which 2 teams were eliminated, and the last two teams had a play off on #10. Ron Fifer and Gregg Fifer, 1st in the Birch Flight, played Ed Englander and Ian Hill, who were 1st in the Maple Flight, and Ed Englander & Ian Hill are the winners. Congratulations!!

Julie Langdon took the pictures of the various teams getting ready to play 10, on the fairway on 10, and having the chipping contest, to determine the winners to continue play.

Another of her pictures shows some mighty good looking staff members at the Awards Banquet. John Carrin, Head Golf Professional, Ron Barrett, Clubhouse Mgr, Rory Ellington, Golf Course Supt, and David Critcher and Jason Powell, who are asst Pro's on Johns Staff.

HAVE YOU SEEN A HURT DEER?

Debbie Canady just called me to advise that there is a hurt deer running around Beech right now. The deer has a broken bone and LeslIe from GENESIS WILDLIFE SANCTUARY is trying to find her so she can dart her and FIX her leg. If you see the deer she might be running in a pack of three please call genesis and advise 387-2979
Dee

Note: This is an approximately two-year old buck in velvet. The right horn is slightly shorter than the left, which is starting to branch into two. The longer is probably about 10" long. It appears his rear left hip has been broken and he tries not to walk or run on that leg. I last saw him this morning at about 8:00 a.m., travelling with 3 other young deer, crossing BM Pkwy. and going toward Destiny Inn. Your help in assisting this young buck would be appreciated if you happen to see him.

Lo-Impact Hikers On the Go!!

The Low-Impact Hikers traveled to the Woods Mountain Trail Access Trail (BRP mile 344.1), and had a wonderful time. The pictures start with us being gathered around the BMC bus, and show us having our usual good time. The hikes are usually only $8, and start from the Alpen Haus at 9:00 A.M. You must make reservations with the Recreation Dept beforehand. (387-4208- Ext 229) Join the fun, and hike other mountain trails, with us.

Special News about Max Richards

Max's wife, Ruth, told me that they were invited to a reunion of the management faculty, who worked with Max, during his tenure at Penn State. The renunion was to close after a barbecue at the Dean's residence. At one point, the Dean read a statement regarding a contribution of $100,000 that was given to the College of Business Administration in Max D. Richards name by Don Hambrick and his wife Peg. Don was a former student who studied under Max and went on to a number of highly regarded studies about top management. Don gave Max a number of accolades, as did other faculty present. Max was SURPRISED and proud.

And we are certainly proud of Max, who is shown, in the picture, with his wife Ruth.
