Our parting seniors have been integral in this frustration and success syndrome. They include Mickey Barrett, Dave Simmons, Kim Jackson, Wes Price, Steve Lakowske, Rob Palmquist, and Dennis Earls-. Other seniors are John Endicott, Don Edmiston, Jay Witbeck, Roger Bagg, Steve Wall, Rob Smith, Eirik Romstad, and Roy Fluette. It is to their credit that they were able to learn and turn arounc a season which could have been disastrous. They have set the stage for future success. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their efforts.
