Oh my, I just caught that last bit about a 2nd 1000 beyond award :-) That's sounds very interesting!!! I'm up for that!

Whoops, I missed Jack's message. Actually I haven't been interested in completing a 1000 list but encourage all to consider. Jack your time will come and it will be much more rewarding. Don't give up the quest!

So far 3 SAC members have completed this daunting assignment. They are Steve Coe, 1993; Joe Goss 2005 and David Hofland -whose date is invalid on my list. David can you give me month and year for the award? I have something like 20/09, meaning 20th month of 2009.

Rumor has it that Joe Goss is attempting a second 10000 Beyond.

Yes, but what have I done lately? It seems my SAC 1000 Beyond has been frozen somewhere in the 600's for quite some time now. Call me some kind of a cockeyed optimist, I'm still shooting for this lifetime.

If I recall Jack was the last member to get there (Dick was in KC when he
did his). I'm 125 away, if the weather would cooperate. :(  Clear Skies
