Voting to Select the 2008 U.S. Olympic ( HOF)

If you have never met Lones * he is one hell of a guy



From an email i received






To all:



If you feel so inclined I would appreciate your support for the USOC Hall of Fame. It is now a popularity contest so it is highly unlikely that a shooter will ever be recognized. Hopefully it will be a start for our sport.

Thanks for the consideration,

Lones
