I have yet to get around to correcting it, but some ride manager spelled
Gydion as Gudion and now he's in there twice.  I am a stickler for careful
printing on forms, so it wasn't me that can't spell.

We could take a page from the eventers and standardize our entry forms
(please please).  Then we can put the form on the computer, the info is
typed and the only thing that changes is the ride name and date and what
level you have entered.  It would go a long way toward eliminating the
database errors!
