I've finally got enough energy to write a few word about my trip to Fremont Ca. I wasn't sure that I would be able to make trip until a couple of weeks before the start. My health issues were very unpredictable. I am glad that I was able to go. I had planed to drive there like I have many times before but my wife said no and booked me a flight there. Less than one hour in the air was just fine instead of five hours of driving.
What a blast I had even though it wore me out completely. On the final day I took my cue expecting that I would keep my self busy playing a bit but when I got to the tournament room I realized I was drained and just kicked back watching matches. It took me until today to recover to write this.
What a great group of members we have and I so enjoyed meeting and playing a few of you.
Congratulations to Jim on winning the tournament (I'm getting ready for you Jim), and to Jerry for his fine showing again and of course to Dave Gross for his fine playing.
A couple of my most memorable times was playing with Knuckels (Mitch). What a gentleman and fine player he is. Thanks for the bus token Mitch and I will treasure it and display it in my home room. Also sitting with me for a good while engaging in some one pocket conversation was Tom Wirth and also sitting with me in the booth commentating one of the matches. A bundle of knowledge this man has.( He should write a book). And thanks to everyone that made the trip. It was nice to put a face to the names.
Another person I felt that was the life of the party was Mitch Brown, a man with a bundle of personality and energy that seems to flow right to who ever he is around, Oh yea, a shout out to Kentucky for his love of the game.
I'm looking forward to meeting more members in Houston this coming October.
