Thanks Fred & Leah!

The ICS honored Fred Wieland with a retirement party for his outstanding service as the Chief Judge of the ICS. Fred and his wife Leah have been an integral part of the ICS and particularly the World's Championship for a very long time. Fred is the familiar face and voice that controls the judging and Leah is the one working behind the scenes with the other wonderful scorekeepers tallying all the ballots.

We are going to miss that big brown hat and that great dancing (that we saw on display at the party Friday night)! And we will always remember Fred's motto:
"If you don't have a good time today, it's your own damned fault!"

Thanks to Fred and Leah for all of the time and effort they have put in over the years. They served with class, dedication and integrity!

Say Cheese!
