Nationals attendance-guess the amount game!!!

Of course in those days being in debt was rationale to get you thrown in prison. If that was still the law today they'd need to set aside at least one state as a prison colony. Alaska would be a good choice. Plenty of room.

1792

USMS should make this a contest. Whoever comes closest should get a t-shirt or something. I don't know how many were in Austin... I have a few USMS National Champion patches with the old USMS logo on them (we now have new patches with the new logo to give out). I'll see if it is ok to give out an old patch to the person who comes closest to the final number. We won't use Price is Right rules, but the winner must be present to win (or it will go to the next closest guess who is in attendance). FYI you can see historical attendance figures on pages 160-161 of the rulebook: www.usms.org/.../appf.pdf

I'm game - 1888.

...or as I love to call it Wonderful Robins...just south of Macon... Gag, spit, choke.

1,975 :) Nationals info Well, I wasn't too far off with a guess of 1962! Thanks for the tip; I know what I'll be pouring over while dinner is cooking! :D

Gag, spit, choke. Now, Alison, play nice! :D

Elaine, SoCal myself originally...and I am just south of you in Warner Robins...or as I love to call it Wonderful Robins...just south of Macon... Ooops! I'm a newbie to Georgia and thought Warner Robbins was NORTH of Atlanta. Time to dig out my state map and study up on the local geography! I'm from SoCal, too! Born and raised in Long Beach, then moved to San Diego to attend SDSU, in 1980. I lived there for 24 years. I see you surf... :cool: Where in California did you surf? I used to kayak surf off the Navy Seal base in Coronado.:cool::bliss: How did you end up in Warner Robbins???

I'm sure there are going to be loads of great races to watch, but noticed this one to look out for: Event 28 Men 100 Yard Freestyle =================================================== Name Age Club Time =================================================== 25-29 1 Brunelli, Nicholas J 28 NCMS 42.45 2 Jones, Cullen A 26 NCMS 43.63

Alaska would be a good choice. Plenty of room. Alaska has too much beauty to turn into a prison. I vote for Hawaii. Nothing but ocean surrounding it.
