[Rich Smoker]

As a member of the Board of Directors of the Ward Foundation and liason from the Board to the Competition Committee. I have the honor of officially announcing the name change of World Level,Division SR,Shootin'Rig. From today and hence forward the name shall be "JIMMIE VIZIER MEMORIAL AWARD",World Level,Division SR,Shootin'Rig. This change was made to officially recoginize and remember Jimmie's contributions as a tradition bearer,competitor,judge,carver and friend to all. His accolades are too numerious to list here, but please stop by at a table set up to honor his artistic accomplishments and contributions to the World Championship Carving Contest and Ward Museum. We at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art are very happy and proud to be able in this small wayto remember our competitor and friend. Jimmie will be missed by all.....Long Live his memory and contributions to Wildfowl Art! Sincerely, Rich Smoker
