DAY TOURNAMENT RESULTS – MODESTO ELK’S LODGE
by Rick Thomas, Pictures coming from Paul Panholzer
First of all, we would like to thank the players who came to the
tournament held in our brand new Elks complex in Modesto, Calif.
Some players came from out of state – Cindy Clark and Lewis
Bailey from Arizona and Jim and DeVonna Golden from Las Vegas, Nevada.
We were also glad to have Marion Bailey and Warren Goldsmith from
Visalia, CA.
Many thanks and kudos to the committee for the countless hours to
make this tournament a success, namely Dave Keithahn and Dan Mourgos
for moving and setting up the boards (some in the rain). Paul Panholzer
 refurbished
a cradle for the tournament. Nice job, Paul. Many thanks to Kathy
Thomas who collected and distributed the money. Thanks to Jane Mourgos
and Vicki Hunt for the beautiful picture display for recently departed
Queen of Shuffleboard, Bev Chaffin.
Dan Mourgos passed out California Shuffleboard Hall of Fame pins
to past honorees, (L-R) Bob Hunt , Hal Perry, Nick Chaffin, George
Camara, and Marion Bailey. It was wonderful having five CSHF members
participating in the tournament.
