To the Fast Pitch Softball Community
 
>From Dan and Susan Prichard:  Baumann Tourney Directors 2004
- 2005 - 2006
 
Merry Christmas.  We would like to thank everyone who supported
the Baumann Tournament during our direction from 2004-2006. 
Through that event, we have had the pleasure to meet and work
with many outstanding softball people.  In the past month, a
meeting with  Billy Hillhouse proposed transcending the tournament
into an  ISC qualifier, which has since been acknowledged by
the ISC. This can only bolster the event, and attract many other
teams to attend.  Bruce Baumann and Dick Van Tassell from Carpetowne
are continuing their support to ensure that the tournament will
continue successfully. Unfortunately, due to extenuating circumstances,
we will not be able to continue as the tournament directors.
 
It is with mixed pleasure that we relinquish the director's duties.
 As with any volunteer endeavor, the amount of personal time
and dedication needed for success comes at a cost to family and
personal responsibilities.  This fall our daughter (some may
remember her from her USA & Canada anthem performances) has experienced
success in the entertainment realm, and we need to be sure we
are flexible to allow us to support her potential success.
 
We will miss the interaction with the many outstanding players
and their team of staff and supporters, but we hope to enjoy
relaxing time on the bleachers watching the highest quality of
the fast pitch game in Erie, PA for many years to come.
 
Teams will still be able to contact the tournament committee

Happy Holidays to You All!
