NRA’s David Baskin Retires:  For a number of years David Baskin has headed the NRA’s disabled shooters program. 

This program has had great success in improving the rehabilitation and quality of life for the disabled.  There is a nice write

up about his accomplishments on the NRA web-site.  The specific address is: www.nrahq.org/compete/disabled.asp.

 

Old B&G Photos:  A group of slides of B&G activities from back in the 60’s and 70’s have been found.  They have been

captioned and are available for viewing on the club web-site.  Some of the shots are of bare dirt.  These were probably a

result of a club land search.  If anyone has any information about the photos and unidentified shooters please contact James

Moses on 534-7968.
