00:06Dainty to whom they were presented in 1907. So Paul will introduce himself and after our

00:13president's bowl we're going to allow Paul to historically roll the woods that are only ever

00:19rolled by a president but because of his continuation and relationship we're going to let

00:26him bowl as well so we're very thrilled to have him here and I will now pass you over to our
