In their own words
My name is Ryan Patterson, from Mansfield, Ohio. I've been a player and collector of the game since its release. I became a director back in February of '98, and thanks to Jim Ray, a Gold Squadron member (sorry Jim, I forgot your number), I got off to a good start with running tournaments.
I am 22 years old and work for UPS. A friend and I have been running weekly tournaments here in Mansfield since March. A recent tournament highlight was our running Star Wars CCG tournaments at AndCon 98 in Toledo, Ohio. I have to say that I am very happy to be part of the Squadron progarm now, and I am going to do my best to promote this great game, like I already have, in my area and other areas too. May the Force be with you all.[2]
