Glenn, my apologies! Brent, Totally forgot Chris Owen had AA'd, but you've jogged my memory! Thanks for the fact checking, guys! Go team! David,
Totally forgot Glenn had AA’d so young. Glenn, my apologies!

Brent,
Totally forgot Chris Owen had AA’d, but you’ve jogged my memory!

Thanks for the fact checking, guys! Go team!

Chris Arnold did do well at archery, but fell short of the 100 points at 50 yards unfortunately.

I am glad to see this up and running again. It was a long year of checking this page nearly daily and seeing nothing. Anyhoo, fact check time: Glenn Laatsch certainly got his AA, and he was the youngest person in Shewahmegon history to get it. He was either 7 or 8 when he achieved it. You are correct though about Chris Arnold, and him getting to 40 but no further. I also seem to remember Jordan getting his (although I could be wrong), but it seemed like a thing for him to do just to spite Alex. Keep up the good work! Hey Jim,

I presume on top of accomplishing all of camp's greatest honors, Tim had also defended Shewahmegon in a Swiis Family Robinson-esque fashion from an army of rabid bears. Informing me that Tim is an American Archer is liking telling me Michael Jordan has a garage full of nice cars. I assume it is fact and then quickly put t out of my mind as it seems all to obvious. As for the others, I was under the impression that both Chris and Jordan brought the Arnold family to the 160 at 40 yards, but not past. My memory is addled by age though, so I may be in correct. Apologies to both Chris and Jordan if I'm wrong here. I think Glenn, despite the prowess of his magnificent sternum, also fell short of the AA (an great boon in life, though not on the archery range). Alex "The Trevinator" Trevor, however, I can indeed confirm was an American Archer. I shot with him at 50 yards after he'd achieved the award. Brent,

I know that Tim Will was also an American Archer on staff that year. I did make it down to the range a couple times that year, which I always enjoyed. I probably did that when I was doing the program for the day... What I find more amazing is that there were several American Archers among the ranks of the campers that year.
