Forwarded email from Tracy Balkovic:

Dear Shooting Family,

I know some of you may have already heard through Ee-da-how members, but wanted to take a moment to let you all know personally that my wonderful husband of 37 years (and best friend for 42!) passed away on 12/30/2020. He had cardiac arrest on Christmas night and never recovered. He died very peacefully with family by his side.

I don't know if you know how he and I came to join this wonderful community. Our son Joey (who goes by Joseph now in his business world and I always have to think carefully to remember that they are talking about :-)) got into BPCR shooting. Kurt and I had our first trip to Raton to watch him shoot - and Kurt spotted for him. We so much loved the camraderie of the people there and the sport itself that we decided to shoot as well. As many of you know, we shot together and spotted for each other. He was MUCH better at spotting and shooting, but you wouldn't know from his scores because his spotter kind of sucked :) We would always laugh about that.

I wanted you to all know how much he loved this community. The big gruff bear would never say it, but he enjoyed you guys so much.


Tracy

PS - still planning to shoot once I figure out a few things. It might be a bit, but I'll get there :)
