May 30, 1998 Completed my SCR 8-way Star with Kyle Cornelius' organization. Received my SCR award. This is a free flown 8-way that makes a circle "star" formation and you must hold it for 8 seconds. Also attended my first crawfish boil afterwards. I did luck out and my ceremony wasn't conducted until Labor Day weekend...Still nice and warm!! :)

August 1998 Mike Mims organized my Falcon award 4-way. Still falling low, but we managed to obtain 5 points. FINALLY! :)
