I think that many thanks ought to go to Opal and Gene Westmoreland who raised $1,080 from local sponsors and to Clint Pickard who contributed $1,000 from an investment he made for the express purpose of promoting this tournament. Other contributors were Paul Dingler - $150, Raser Paint Co. - $50, and Merle Vaughan - $5. Our deepest encomium is extended towards these people. Submitted by Tim Laverty.
