I want to wish Pat Heacock (Old Arky Gal) a belated Happy birthday. She doesn't post much, but is a very important part of our team Dangerous Old Dams in the contests. Her knowledge of the Sartin ways goes back a good 25 or more years. Also she has become a good friend to me and our other partner Mary Gionet.
Just so you guys know, I'm not the only one out there. Neither are there just the three of us. Ted had lunch with a fourth, Kathy Sonnentag a couple of weeks ago and we are planning to get her involved with us as well. All of these women have been handicapping the Sartin way a great deal longer than I and I am learning a lot from them.
I owe Ted a great deal of thanks for hooking us all up. We were all working alone and thinking we were indeed that.
Anyway, back to the original subject, A big Belated Happy Birthday to Pat.

Pat - not sure how I missed it (and you a shrinking voilet), but very best wishes on whenever your Birthday was!

Thank you also for your friendship to Mum over these past several months, especially when she was sick earlier this year - both your medical knowledge and your persistent friendship have helped her move in a much better direction.

FWIW, I have heard these 3 old gals doing their analysis via Skype on the Team Contest races (from 3 widely separated parts of North America) and it is inspiring to see and hear. They laugh a lot and support each other in their efforts to have fun and also win in the Contest they are entered. What a perfect example of 'friends helping friends'.

And Kathy S treated me to a lovely lunch in Las Vegas and seems like she would fit right in as a '4th musketeer' - another dangerous old dam, and probably 75+ years of Sartin Methodology experience between them all.

Again Pat, Happy Birthday - good health, long life!

yours,

Ted

All said with love and affection! I took my cue from their Team Name! Chris, perhaps you could apply for membership: Dangerous Elders? ;)

cheers,

Ted

Happy Birthday Pat!
I hear you love Oaklawn and the track there! Get out there and play your drums with your "circle"! :)

Many more healthy ones too

I am so pleased to be to be a part of such a caring considerate group. I really lucked out when I hooked up with you. I am so glad to connect back with the methodology. I was away from it for about 15 years. So I am catching up. I love RDSS. And my friend Barb has facilitated my catching up.

Thanks for the birthday greetings. You sure made this old lady's day. You all are so special.
Pat
