Coordinator notes: This is the 2nd LOS ANGELES COUNTY record. Brian Banker took one in that county a few years ago. Many records I sent to BAMONA via spread sheets never made it into the database. Apparently Brian's did not. Your record will go into the annual Season Summary just as Brian's record was. Great Record and it was fresh!-Ken Davenport
