the other party is clearly liable for the injury and you're just negotiating over

CONGRATULATIONS TO TLL
FOR AN IMPRESSIVE RUN!

Congratulations to the Tuckahoe Little League
12-year old Majors all-star team for making it all
the way to the regional final in Georgia back in
August, and also to one of my neighbors, John
Carpin, for successfully managing the team.
What a great time it was watching some local
boys compete on a national stage. The final was
on ESPN. Although the team came up short in
the final against Tennessee, just missing a trip
to Williamsport, the run was very impressive and
exciting to watch. I have a feeling they’ll be
headed back to Georgia next year!
