I want to congratulate John Pestal from Omaha, Nebraska, for winning the District 7 Tournament held here in St. Joseph, Missouri, on August 9, 2014. I always enjoy our friends coming down from Nebraska, Jim Albin and John Pestal and his wife, Betty and our Missouri Checker Association secretary-treasurer, Wilma Wolverton. We want to welcome Quint Hodges and his wife, Janelle, from Arkansas. Hope to see Quint at many future tournaments. We had a friendly pleasant group but very small. It was round robin -- everyone played FAST AND FURIOUS. Following the tournament, several of the players enjoyed having lunch together at a local restaurant.

Because of the dwindling attendance at the District 7 tournaments in recent years, I think I will schedule the District 7 and the Missouri State 3-Move in one tournament for next year as I’ve noticed other states have done this.    George
