Hello, my name is Rich Hardy. It is for the following I have been added to the growing list of hammer nominees:

While fishing Miller’s Ferry in June I had pre-arranged with DoraThomley for her to weigh in what fish I caught so I could leave the tournament early. In order not to incur the wrath of my son who was getting married. Never let it be said I would miss his wedding for a club tournament( I figured I could multi-task well ). I met with Wayne prior to heading out and transferred my fish to his live well. I told him I had 7 fish. I, in my haste to be on my way home for the wedding I failed to check my live well assuming I had given Wayne all my 7 fish. I received a call from Wayne while the weigh in was being conducted. Wayne informed me that there were only 6 fish he had to weigh in for me and I might want to check my live well. I did so and found that I had 1 fish still there that weighed 2 ½ lbs. To add insult to injury that fish would have moved me from 4^th place ( no money ) to winner of the tournament. Well at least I was present for my son’s wedding.
