Editor’s Note:  Here is Rick Caldwell’s (Erie) gracious invitation to this year’s Frankcan Cup Tournament. Rick runs the show year in and year out for the readers and golfers of the Pitt POV – and he does just an unselfish and wonderful job at it.  I’ll be there this year so hopefully there will be at least one golf cart that has a spare seat. That way I can watch some actual golf instead of just drinking for three hours!  Friends – if you haven’t been to one yet get onboard. It is true fun and fellowship and a great summer lead-in to Fran’s tailgates.
