There were 25 players in attendance when we last met on June 26, 2008.

We welcome Arlene Litt to our club for her first visit last week.
We welcome Jacob Litt to our club for his first visit last week.
Both of these new players were already active club/tourney players,
visiting this area from Connecticut.

Congratulations to Trix for having the high-above-average game last
week, in which she scored 489, 44.2% above her average.

 Gary 421 to Evans 446, Judy C. 416 to Rod 423,

Steven's loss with a 473 is tied with the 7th highest losing score ever
seen in this club in its 28-year history.

At last weekend's 6th Can-Am SCRABBLE Challenge Tourney in Toronto, 7 top
players from the US challenged 7 top players from Canada. John O. (3rd seed)
and Rod (6th seed) were 2 of the 7 on the US team. Each player played someone
from the other team twice for a 14-game event. The US won, retaining the
trophy, with a 50.5-47.5 record. John finished in 2nd place; Rod finished
in 4th place; both went 9-5. Robin Pollock Daniel placed first, with a 10-4
record; Adam Logan, top seeded from Canada, placed 3rd, with a 9-5 record.

In last week's news it was announced that Tim L. lost with a 416 to Judy C.'s
416 - that game was indeed a high-scoring tie and not a loss.

Dee Jackson, a long-time club and tourney player most recently living in
Southern FL, passed away on 25-Jun-08 after an 8-month valiant battle
against an aggressive cancer. Susi Tiekert is happy to pass along any
messages for Dee's family (mailto:suuuzz@pobox.com).
