1925 University of Maryland girls' rifle team courtesy shorpy.com

I had good intentions of announcing the winner of last weekend’s contest on Monday. Unfortunately, that was the day of the great comment system conflagration so I got a little sidetracked. I know, excuses, excuses. Better late than never. Or is that better out than in? Anyway, honorable mentions go out to Rick, Double D, Blammo, Aharon, Merits and Z.G., but let’s have a warm golf-clap for our winner, CmdrSlander who took the prize for his JHB-related caption. He’ll be receiving his prize soon. Really.
