Yea Bill it was really great. The energy it generated was way beyond anyones expectations. Every one did it for fun. The fun of shooting. And these people shot really really appreciated it, although they had no idea who was shooting them, and how double lucky they were to have professionals of this calibre, it did not matter. It was the community of giving that was so ineffable. John Beebe said it best,
