Appaloosa Amy, #63949, CT Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Snazzy McGee was offered a scholarship to Lindenwood University in St. Charles Missouri where she will be majoring in English and shooting skeet on their shotgun team. It is one of only three colleges in the US that is debt free, the teachers are NOT tenured and the classes are limited to 35 students with the average class size being around 20. It is also one of the top Christian Colleges in the US. The campus is beautiful. Targets, ammo, and a gun club membership are provided as well as travel expenses and match fees. Santa Fe River Stan was correct in his assessment of the weather there....we flew in while tornados were touching down in the area. However, the partial scholarship overrides the sketchy weather and makes it more affordable then any other college she was accepted to. Even more, it is a good fit for her, plus it will get her to experience a world outside of liberal New England. I wanted to thank Snazzy's SASS family for helping me raise a good kid that is ready to tackle college with a ton of confidence that grew from this great shooting sport.

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The weather is crazy in Missouri. Spent a bit of time in KC in summer and winter. 110 in in the summer and unbearable humidity. Winter is just as rotten. Wet and cold. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eastwood Kid Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 A big congratulations to Snazzy! Being offered a scholarship is really something to be proud of! College is one of the most exciting times in someone's life. I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm really happy for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack McGee, SASS #46908 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Well she's on her way! While I'm sure SASS members had a positive influence on Snazzy, I can say her family played the biggest role. I had the pleasure of being around the family from Quaker Hill at the Florida State match this past January. From Snazzy's Grandparents to their good friend from Maine, Smokey Sue, they all showed a lot of class and were a joy to be around. It's easy to see why she, and her brother Alex, will be a success in this world. As for Lindenwood University, they just won their 10th consecutive National Championship in skeet/trap, beating Texas A&M by 60 targets. You know they only pick the best with that record and Snazzy will surely be an asset to the progam. Have fun Snazzy, enjoy the adventure! Best regards from the other McGee.

Black Angus McPherson Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Congratulations and welcome to my neck of the woods! I've lived here all my life and, yep, the heat is hot and the cold is cold. And you can get both on the same day. There's nothing quite like 90+ degrees and 80+% humidity in the summer. I've seen a lot of the Lindenwood kids shooting and they are good. BTW, for which club do they get a membership? Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appaloosa Amy, #63949, CT Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Not sure which club but I know its only 8 minutes from Lindenwood U and they have quite a few skeet & trap fields. And as far as the weather...we see our fair share of crazy stuff from hurricanes to blizzards to 100 degree days with high humidity. AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
