Subject: [USML Announce] USML 2025 - new owner!

League:  Happy New Year to all and let the planning for the 2025 USML season begin!  First matter of business: league ownership.  After a storied career in the USML, Doug Shabelman has decided to give up his team for 2025. We will miss Doug's flag waving for the White Sox (is that even still a thing?) and his unique brand of humor. We wish Doug the best of luck and hope one day he will return to the league.

But now some good news: we have a new owner ! Please welcome Jeff Cohen to the league.  And actually, the correct greeting is "welcome back," because Jeff used to be in the league many years ago, before the advent of the kindler, gentler USML and now is returning.  We will get Jeff signed up for the website and USML mailer shortly, but in the meantime, please include Jeff on all league emails (he is copied on this one).

I will be sending out an email soon with potential draft dates and other 2025 details, so things should get into gear soon.

Mark B.
