My Apologies…I caught a couple of mistakes in this article before I had to leave for Menlo, California as our Willamette Bearcat baseball team opens the 2008 season on Saturday and I didn’t have time to fix a few minor mistakes.  Nothing major just a few words that should be omitted, but my aplogies nonetheless.  Once again, time is not on my proofreading side.
