Just prior to leaving my place a few days ago I agreed to help in start. Since I've been at so many other places as a volunteer in the past I thought it would be a great new adventure. My first year volunteering at the WHPSC I was keeping people off the course at the ranch roads. This was back in 2003. Since then I have helped in timing, catch, spectator area, and now start. No matter where you go there's always something to learn, and great people to help you out. Being the main communication person at start for the first few days was challenging. Just when I felt I had somewhat got the hang of things up there it was time to move on. Now I'm off to the spectator area to give some commentary to visitors there. Hopefully I can keep the people captivated, and informed as they await the arival of all the mysterious composite sculptures formed by the wind.
