Delegates Article for January's issue of Trap & Field

Hello to everyone from New York State.  I hope everyone is doing well and had a very enjoyable Christmas and New Year’s.

It is with a very deep sadness and a heavy heart that I must tell of the passing of my dear, dear friend and past New York State Delegate Brian Whalen.  Brian was the New York State Delegate from 2005 until his retirement in 2017.  Brian passed away on November 6, 2018 at home surrounded by his loving family after a long illness. Brian lived in Bemis Point, New York, just north of Jamestown.  Brian was born on November 12, 1946, the son of the late June M. Fellows Whalen, and Bernard W. “Pat” Whalen.  Brian’s dad Pat was also a well-known Trapshooter.  Brian was a Veteran of the United States Army, serving from 1965 to his honorable discharge in 1968.  When Brian returned home in 1968, he and his father Pat opened Chautauqua Shooters Supply to supply reloading services initially for the Jamestown Police Department.  Brian has owned and continuously operated his shooters supply store at its current location for nearly 45 years.  In addition, he worked full time for National Gas, retiring after a 34 year career.
Brian joined the ATA in 1979.  During his career Brian registered 93,050 singles, 61,125 handicap, and 57,100 doubles targets.  His last registered targets were at the 2017 Northeastern Grand American in Cicero.  Brian was the New York State Singles Champion in 1991 with a 200 straight, and the New York State Veterans Champion in 2014.  Brian was also the New York State Western Zone Doubles Champion and High-All-Around Champion in 2014.  Brian also won many other championships in New York and other states, too many to mention here.  Brian was inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and the New York State ATA Hall of Fame in 2009.  He was also the past president of the Celoron Rod and Gun Club.  Brian also won the United States Open Skeet Championship and the New York State Skeet Championship, both in 1977.  All who knew Brian knows that he was a big New York Yankees fan.

Brian is survived by his wife Bonnie, son Brian (Kathy) Whalen, daughters Nikki (Nick) Whalen-Lombardo and Stacie Chamberlin, two sisters Bonnie Hardenburg and Sandy (Chuck) Kleinfield, and many grandchildren and one great grandchild.  Every time you saw Brian, he had a big smile on his face and a great sense of humor.  All I can say of my dear friend was that he was a loyal friend and one great guy.  I am going to miss him dearly.  May God Bless You. 

It was posted on the New York State ATA web page:  www.nysata.com  “On October 4, 2018, Tim Herbstsommer, President of the NYSATA, submitted his resignation to the Board of Directors.  Pursuant to Article V, Section (b) of the NYSATA Bylaws, Central Zone Vice President Jim Wright, as the senior Vice President, is Acting President.  The Board of Directors will convene a Special Meeting to fill the vacancy as provided for in Article VI, Section (e) of the By Laws.  More information will be posted as it becomes available”.

The support we received for the new score chairs was amazing.

Many shooters were disappointed that they were unable to donate for the chairs last year.

We are looking at these beautiful benches and gun racks to compliment our new chairs.

Cost per bench and rack is $375.00 for the set.  We would like to place one on every field.

We would also provide a nameplate on the units for donor recognition.

If you are interested, please send an email to Jim Wright

or call  315-593-7651

We thank all the shooters, clubs and businesses for their continued support.

It is very much appreciated.!!
