It is a cause CLOSE to my HEART. So, I am happy to help out in whatever little way I can.
I did volunteer last June but the weather, viz., warnings of severe thunderstorms, did not cooperate. So, I didn’t get to do much other than set up the shot put ‘pit’ & take it down. Ironically, we are supposed to get rain tomorrow — albeit, with luck, only starting around 1pm. The track events where I am helping are supposed to start at 7:30am. So, we might get some action. Fingers crossed.
Yes, I will post pictures. SMILE.

The invaluable ‘Salvador Miranda’ Cardinals website went dark a year ago.
Last time we heard from dear Salvador — June 28, 2023.
Last time he updated the Website — May 8, 2023.
While I have NO intention of trying to emulate ALL that dear Salvador did, I do want to try and maintain an ACCURATE record of the CHANGES to the College.
Salvador’s website will EVER remain good for everything UP TO 2023.
What I will do is maintain a list (in the form of one of my famed ‘magic’ Excel spreadsheets) of all the changes — i.e., creations, deaths, aging outs & expulsions — as of Jan. 1, 2023. So, this is the start.
The spreadsheet is done. It has some HIDDEN columns. Plus, I plan to add a few more. No point maintaining a magic Guruge spreadsheet IF I don’t milk as much data as I can. I will calculate days between changes, days between deaths, obituary demographic, etc.
I have ALREADY created a Webpage for MY ‘College of Cardinals’. More on that later. This is but a start. SMILE.
This is in memory of my friend Salvador.
I dedicated my 2020, encyclopedic, 518-page ‘The Conclave‘ book to Salvador.
I am glad I did. He was chuffed.
