Hi Gang

BIG THANKS to Dr. Parisa Meymand who sponsored Kewpee's hamburgers and fries for lunch today at the Alumni House. Dick Peterson came empty handed. He was sent back to his car 3 times. The guys couldn't believe he came empty handed. No homemade Fudge, Key Lime Pie, Peanut Butter Cookies, Brownies, Watermelon, Candy - NOTHING !!!

Dick said he did bake Cinnamon Muffins with Apples this morning, but ate most himself.

Terry Toll brought an O & H Kringle compliments of Jim Rasmussen. Thanks to Jim as well.

On the main table: Dave Benjamin/CW defeated Bobby Letsch/George Gordon 3 straight. Bobby wined, wined, wined (Dave Benjamin asked Bobby if he wanted any cheese with his wine !!!) Good sports Dave/CW allowed them to win the next 3 games.The 7th and deciding game went to Dave/ CW in a rout with them getting very few good cards, but astute playing carried them to victory by a large margin.
