This TN Open Tournament is over and
congratulations to its sponsor - director, and all participants, it was an
organized and wonderful tourney as usual. A gracious thank you
to all who help. There was a good cash prize from entry fees and
donations. Plenty of 15% meal discount coupons from next door Ponderosa
Steakhouse, plus support from Cracker Barrel with gift & meal certificate for 2, and
everyone received a $10.00 Cracker Barrel Gold Card. Mr. Frank Davis opened the ty by
welcoming 48 players from 15 States and three countries; US, England, and
Mexico. We had five ladies and two youth players competing in the minors
division this year. Attendance was off from last year's 56 because of the weather.
A short TN Checker Association business meeting followed. We had discussion, a motion, a second, and voted to use Swiss pairing
with only a repairing in the last two rounds. A special memorial reverence was
mentioned for Mr. Gene Lindsay of Morristown, TN who died September 6, 2007 and
left 10% of his estate to Tennessee Checkers. A discussion, a motion, a
second, and voted to leave Frank Davis as President and wife Mary,
Secretary/Treasurer, Ken Christian, Vice-President, and in addition to how the Lindsay moneys would be managed.
Frank was designated to consult a banker/lawyer to protect and secure the
principle funds by investing it in CDs with only interest to be used for tournament
expense, and reporting annually at the TN Open. This account would require
three signatures for a withdrawal and therefore
protecting the funds from an individual death or a single individual withdrawal. Other 2007 deaths were
mentioned, included deceased Ralph Agee's wife Georgia,
Leonard Hickman's wife Frances, Bobby Smith of Effingham,
IL, Doug Hughson of
Trenton, Michigan, and Q.T. East of Oak Ridge, TN. It started snowing Friday night and finished with 4 inches by Saturday. There were a
least 15 wives who attended and a couple of visitors who came to visit and watch.
We congratulate
