An Old Fashioned Ramp Raising

Eight CAAS members – Bruce McMath, John Reed, Danny Flippo, Chris Lasley, Pat Morris, Steve Block, Jack Dixon and Jim Dixon – met at the River Ridge Observatory on September 29th to avoid watching the Razorbacks lose again and build a new ramp and steps to go with the new club house. Seven hours, many deck screws, many pieces of treated lumber, and 750 pounds of concrete later we were done.
