Howdy NABF members,

If you've been putting off making your convention reservation get goin' now. We have a limited number of rooms available at our great rate.

For those ring officials concerned about fight appointments, we're lucky to get one outside official in most states but sometimes none. Then the promoters really howl when they have to provide food, room and transport for the outside officials. I'm working with the promoters and commissions to get as many of our folks appointed as possible.

My deepest sympathies to our good friend Marian Muhammad and her family. No one should have to endure what they have been dealt.

Happy trails to all my friends,



Rex Ross Walker, president
