After 25 years of publication, the Haversack is shutting down the presses and ceasing publication. The last issue will be mailed out June 1st 2010 to accommodate those of you with standing subscriptions thru next year. Efforts will be made to compensate those with long term subscriptions after June 1. I have enjoyed the past years and regret having this come to an end. My thanks to those who have faithfully support me in the past.

                                         

See you on the field, and be safe out there

  

The Haversack will continue as an on-line version as best as the team of Martin & Hargreaves can do.
