I've had a few people ask after Pam's condition.........
She fell on the steps from the clubhouse in a hurry to join me in the winner's circle, and tripped, fell, and broke her ankle in 2 places. We got her to her orthopedic surgeon today - they casted it, and she's scheduled for surgery on Thursday - plates and screws...... She'll be taking it easy for a couple months.
I'll be her caretaker during that time, so I may be scarce on the board for a while - I have 2 jobs now! I may find the time to cap a card or two - we'll see!
My best to all of you on this great board! I look forward to meeting more of you next year!

BW:
I wondered in a PM to The Believer about why I didn't see some of the gang in the winners circle with Pine Hill and he told me about the incident with Pam. Thanks for the update and best wishes to her for a full recovery. I fully intend to attend the next handicappers event and hope to see her up and about. Congrats on what up till the Pam incident seemed like a great weekend. Seems like you did such a fine job that you earned another crack at organizing the next gathering. If you do so I promise to buy the first round.

Blackwater , you did a great job of organizing the 1st Annual Northfield Handicapper's Weekend , wish i could have been their with Cathy to take part in the great event ! Pam is in good hands with you by her side , we both wish her a speedy recovery from the tragic fall ! This board is the best ,so many great members giving their time freely to help one another enjoy the great sport of harness racing , as you did Blackwater thus making handicapping much more rewarding as well. The Giss is a one guy everbody should meet ,when at Northfield , he helped out in a big way with the event planning ! I would love to attend next year , and thanks again to all who gave their time and efforts helping to make it happen !

Balckwater - Loretta and I enjoyed the the get together and want to thank you for getting the first annual organized and started what we hope is a yearly tradition.
We are also glad you made it back home safely. I am sure it was a very long trip for Pam. Extend our thoughts and wishes. Talk soon, John

Pam and I just want to say thank you to all for your kind words and well wishes!
Pam had her surgery Thursday afternoon - 1 steel plate with six screws on one side, two big long screws on the other side. The surgeon said it all went very well, and she'll be up and running marathons again in about 7 weeks!
So thanks to all for everything, and for making our first anual weekend an enjoyable and memorable one!!
