 While going thru some of my files of photos thruout the years 
i see just how far we have come.  I see myself riding in Germany at the 
European Championships not only w/out a helmet and no stirrup 
guards but posture embaressing at that Level.  That was before lots of 
Rules and USET giving the Riders Training.  I ran across Photos of the 
Horse Rescue off Kennedys Peak when the Governor declared a State Of 
Emergency  and sent the National Guard and a BlackHawk Helicopter and 
whisked the horse away  all bandaged up.  The Calendar has done a full 
circle and come back to the history of AERC and stories to tell.  Who knows 
the final results?  Its a work in progress.  I really hope there is a 
good photo of Joe and Kahlil besides not only what they did as a Team.  Joe 
brought the AERC from the handwritten to the computer age.  There are all 
these stories to tell and this will be a forum to tell the past but introduce 
the Legends to Be as well.  tom sites
