Gee Stan, How did you end up with that picture??  The picture was taken at the awards ceremony for the 2004 Hunter Nationals at the Beaver Pond in LaGrande last August. The background is some of the beautiful timber we have surrounding the range, one of the loading tents and the front wall of the club house.   The clean cut, intelligent young man presenting the award is Al Magoon from Idaho.  The award goes by several names, The Golden Goat, The Ram in the ???, The Golden Fleece and so on.  It is a very expensive award as it cost about $2.00 in a yard sale in Pasco Washington several years ago.  After being spray painted gold it was awarded to me (the first recipient) for all the outstanding help, kindness, sincerity, dedication and down right "good-guy" stuff that I demonstrate quite regularly at matches. Since that time the Golden Fleece changed into an award for the most unusual contribution at a match. Bill Small won it once for not putting powder in his sons bullets (first LaGrande Nationals).  RJ Smith won it once for a trigger failure while his new one was in his loading box.  Al Magoon won it at Raton last year for running a 1/4" drill into his shooting hand a day or so before the shoot.  Others have won it for other similar things. Remember, I am the only one to win it for kindness, charity, encouraging words, gentleness, compassion and so on.  The individual receiving the award is Dick Baier who had just been brought into Hall of Fame status a few days before.  As I remember he developed the habit of crossfiring or some such thing.  I am sure the always honorable Randy Robinette, or Roy Oines, or Craig Nagel or some such person can go into much more detail which will be more suiting for the new Hall of Famer.  Good ol Dick, once fame and glory comes your way,  folks just keep piling it on.....Larry Cribbs
