Well, week #19 is in the books. We had another new player join us this week; Barry Judge. Frank Easton joined us again, though we're not very nice to him, cards-wise :) Both gentlemen had a good time, and look forward to coming back!

Larry Phifer took 1st with a GRAND SLAM 19 / 9 / 164 Jerry Gooden took 2nd with a 14 / 7 / 25 Frank Abernathy took 3rd with a 13 / 6 / 79 Ernie Hodgson took 4th with a 12 / 6 / 21 Megan Player, also known as our Girl Scout cookie dealer, took 5th with a 12 / 6 / 17 First team: Liz Henderson (12) and Jennifer Johnson (8) Second team: Brian Wilson (10) and Al Robinson (10) Here are the standings after this weeks' entries have been added to the website: Jerry Gooden had two pairs, Aces and 8s Frank Abernathy had two pairs, Aces and deuces Megan Player had a flush in spades Bill Hubbard had a flush in hearts John Morch had a flush in clubx Tom Goeschel had two pairs, 8s and 6s Liz Henderson had a full house, Kings full of 10s Jennifer Johnson had quad 5s Glenn McMahon had two pairs, 10s and 5s Bernard Whitfield had a flush in spades Kelsey Jobe had trip 4s Joe Greiner had a pair of 5s Our GRNT has been scheduled for Saturday, February 17th.
CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR JIM TOWNSEND A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 at 2:00pm at Brown Wynne Funeral Home, 1701 E. Millbrook Road, Raleigh, NC, 27609. The family invites friends to join in a reception at the funeral home immediately following the service. Jim cared so much for others, especially children in need. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are welcomed in Jim's honor to St. Jude's, or your favorite children's charity. I think that's everything for me this week, folks. See ya'll Monday!

So, when last we blogged... ... it was 2023 and the last few holidays of the year hadn't happened yet. Since then, we've been back a couple of weeks (one with Megan at the helm with an assist from Rocky Mount), had new players PLAY and a couple WATCH, had a good showing at the Asheville tournament -- congrats to Friday winners Frank (Main) and Megan (Consy), AND one of us had a birthday (I hope it was happy, Joe!!!) So, January 8th, we had the following results for 20 players: Bernard Whitfield took 1st with a 15 / 6 / 107 Fran Ward took 2nd with a 13 / 6 / 48 Larry Phifer took 3rd with a 12 / 6 / 39 Robert Smothers took 4th with a 12 / 6 / 30 1st Team: Jerry (12) and Ray (10) 2nd Team: Bill (12) and Al (8) 3rd Team: Frank (11) and Kelsey (8) We welcomed Janis and Rob Thompson as guests, and (hopefully) wished Joe Greiner a very happy birthday. I'm not listing the cut-card poker results for this week, but I presume it was paid out, so good on ya if it was you! On January 15th, as we came together again, we had 19 players and the following results: Joseph Greiner took 1st with a 19 / 8 / 215 Jennifer Johnson took 2nd with a 13 / 6 / 76 Megan A. Player took 3rd with a 11 / 5 / 9 John B. Morch II took 4th with a 11 / 5 / 3 Peter Amacher took 5th with a 10 / 5 / 56 1st Team: Kelsey (10) and Fran (9) 2nd Team: Roger (10) and Bernard (9) You read right -- we had to dip into the 10s to round out the place winners. A whole lotta mediocre cards in the room to be sure. We also welcomed new player, Frank Easton, and hope he comes back to play with us again! Anyway, after adding those two sets of data to the website tonight, this is what the top-10 standings look like: Megan Player had a full house, Queens full of 2s Steve Podolsky had two pairs, 8s and 6s John Morch had a pair of 7s Bernard Whitfield had a full house, 9s full of 10s Andy Wagner had a full house, Kings full of 4s Glenn McMahon had a pair of 9s Joe Greiner had a pair of Aces Tom Goeschel had a full house, 10s full of Kings Frank Abernathy had a terrible set of poker cards -- Queen high Kelsey Jobe had two pairs, 9s and 5s Jerry Gooden had a diamond flush Fran Ward had a full house, 3s full of 5s Jennifer Johnson had a full house, Jacks full of 10s For our GRNT, I think we last left it at possibly Saturday, February 17. Backup date April 20. Let me know if that won't work for you. I'll talk to the restaurant next week to hold those dates for us.
ALSO, there are some Megafer Tournaments coming up! April 12-14 Raleigh Spring Fling Cluster (Durham) May 17-19 NC Open Cluster (Winston-Salem) The National Open will be July 25-29 in Durham. Flyers for all will be available as we get closer to the dates, but details can be found on cribbage.org at this link. OK, I'm done for the night. Have a fabulous week, my friends! See ya'll Monday. ~ Jennifer |
