Balfa 2008 Closing thoughts & photographs

Hello Braves,

I’d like to post a few photo’s that we took at Balfa 2008.

I would have like to have taken more photo’s, but if you’ve
ever spent a vacation through a view finder, you know that
you can miss a lot by doing that

I think the best part about traveling is the great people that
one meets, and this year’s Balfa Heritage was no exception!

It takes a special type of person that will allow themselves to
leave their comfort zone and allow themselves to be vulnerable
while they are stretched to learn.

But I suspect that these moments are the most beneficial in
terms of learning and growth, and think that there was a lot
of both, for all of us this year.

One other thing, at the risk of sounding self-serving, I’d like
to say thanks for the compliments (and criticisms) that I have
received about my playing at the Heritage Week. Thanks

Here's hoping that we can all make it back, safe &
sound, next year!

Excellent photo's, Big Nick! Man, I appreciate anything that lets me relive Camp, if only for few moments.

Thanks, Jamey Hall

So good to see all the women players and all the kids too. Joy in every face. I'll be there next year my friends.
