If VT wants to continue competing at the highest level, then it will need

to increase it because spreading it around won't be enough to keep up with the Joneses. No one can replace Arthur. Last year or the year before (I forget now) Chip and I discussed briefly a potential fundraising idea for the softball team. If it ever gets off the ground, then I planned to call it Arthur's Circle given he was the inspiration for the idea. Particularly the outreach aspect of it that the softball team could benefit from through its interaction with the community.
