I would like to ask you to consider something, for this weekends NOV 20th. I my self am canceling the Charity Challenge. It would not be appropriate at this time, to try and be upbeat about doing for outside charities, what we need to do for our own. The cry I've heard through all the tears, is we must do something. Well, let us do what we can. I suggest a memorial fund be set up for donations to help the family through the immediate needs, and then it can become a fund for his son's future. We should consider canceling racing on NOV 20th and opening the gates for a Memorial Service to aid in the healing process that his family, his friends, and spectators need. Pastor Johnston could do wonderful things to help bring a spiritual light back into racing in Bill's honor. Lastly I would also like to see the last Fig 8 race of every season be a "10" Lap race called the WILD BILL REVARD MEMORIAL. I will make sure that Short Track USA and it's sponsors, help in this endeavor. Next year at the Winter Nationals, we need also to retire the #10 from Competition and I will help pay for a billboard, dedicating next year to this well loved and admired man.
THANKS for listening, and my heart goes out to you, our crew, and all that were touched by this great loss.
