I've never made it up to Camp Perry (Kelley's Island is a close as I've been), but I love reading the well-assembled newsletter!
I enjoy shooting, although seldom do it... just so busy raising kids and working. Keep up the good work!

impressive publication. Thanks very much!
With best regards,

In the past, I frequently ignored these updates. However, I read the articles this month and was quite impressed.
Thank you for the excellent work.

Dear TFS,
We think your on line magazine is wonderful. I especially loved the July 4th article on the Junior Olympic Precision Championship Heats up in Corvette City. Those 2 young men Joseph and Jonathan Hall are our beloved grandsons. You have given these proud Grandparents, Betty and James Blankenship, down here in Conroe, Texas , an Article in full color to crow about for many years to come. Thank you for the wonderful job you do. We appreciate all the hard work it takes to make the Magazine so enjoyable for us to read. May you have many years of continued success. I’m sure you will be seeing the Hall guys for many years to come, since there are 4 of them. They are all great young men. We are the parents of their Mother, Creaestia Hall.
Thank you,
Betty and James Blankenship
Thanks for the last issue! Here I sit in N. Michigan reading all about the different actiities I culd be a part of if I was only about 10 years younger. Even at 80 I could have been one ofm your most enthusiastic comptitors , both in Rimfire and/or 1903's--maybe even B B Guns ("Air Rifles ' to you up-to-daters).I still have a Daisy Lever Action that my folks bought me when I was about 10 and can remember it was more powerful then the RED RYDER that my buddy's folks got him so we could shoot together!
So, at 82 the extent of my participation is what I glean from the newsletter.
Sincerely,
P.M. Gardner

CMP Employee “Jailed”
for Muscular Dystrophy Association
By Dale Miles, CMP Staff Writer
|
Recently, there was a slight disturbance at CMP South Headquarters in Anniston, Alabama. It seems that the Civilian Marksmanship Program had been harboring a person of questionable character for quite some time. CMP Clerk Sharron Wautelet was taken into custody by authorities and soon locked away for good deeds done helping the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
 |
| Local authorities rounded up CMP employee Sharron Wautelet last week in an effort to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Sharron’s efforts and giving of her time raised $2517 for the MDA.
|
Wait a minute? Locked up for GOOD deeds? Sharron, as part of a recent effort to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association sponsored by the Anniston Chamber of Commerce, volunteered to have herself locked up behind bars. To free her from her cell, bail had to be raised in the form of donations to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. While in the slammer, Sharron could make more than one phone call…calling the good folks at CMP Headquarters, CMP Board Members, her doctor, her minister, as well as friends and family to raise her bail. And she was successful! All together, Sharron raised $2517 to be donated to the MDA.

“It really wasn’t that bad,” said Sharron, “they fed me and when I was released I got a limo ride back to work.”
No stranger to good deeds, Sharron is actively involved in her community. Besides the work she does for the CMP, Sharron is active in her church, volunteers her time as a Big Sister to underprivileged children and even gave up her vacation to help others. Along with the youth group from her church, she traveled South of the border to Matamoras, Mexico where she worked with AIM Adventures and Missions to construct a new roof for a small, rural church as well as other projects for the less fortunate people of that area. It seems helping people is just part of who Sharron is, and she doesn’t intend to stop.
“I would love to get locked up again,” Sharron stated, “any time you have the chance to help so many children by doing something so simple it is very worth doing.”
