Count'm!

Six states will now be represented at the historic, first Ice Optimist North American Championships with the addition of James Lamb, 13, from Boston, Massachusettes.  Welcome James, we'll look forward to meeting you in a couple weeks.

Now, representing the great state of New York at the 2007 Ice Optimist North American Championships will be 12 year-old Jake Glaser.  Welcome Jake!  Jake's Dad, Jordan,  pilots "Attitude"--- the Dan Clapp built "bubble boat" Skeeter.  And he sails a DN, too.

Count'm! 16 Juniors racing with SEVEN states represented.  So who else is coming?

Lloyd Carr may be hanging it up as the Wolverine's football coach, (being a Badger fan, I'll resist the temptation to say something sassy) but it's far more newsworthy anyway that Cooper Frost, age 10, will be coming over from Michigan for the Ice Optimist NA's.  Say it with me, Coop, "go Big Red."  OK, maybe not, but welcome anyway.  We'll see you and your DN Dad, David, in a couple weeks.

Count'm.  That makes 17 from 7 states.  So who else is coming? Rumor has it that the east coast contingent might be pitching the Clapp bloodline.  Stay tuned.....
