10 With space to fill in the Friday bulletin, I used this photo, captioning it thusly: "...the pose we will impose on the winner of the Pumpkin Side Game Series. (Just kidding. However, the Internet is large and more like this will appear if event winners continue to disappear unphotographed. I'm talkin' to you, Bracket One, Gold Rush Pairs, Side Games. Come get snapped!)"
11 Bill Fromherz, Yakima WA, played three sessions Friday and emerged a new Life Master! Two wins in the Friday-Saturday morning Swiss (which his team won on Saturday morning) and a fourth overall in the Open Pairs gave him just the points he needed.
Congratulations!

14 Karen Allen, Laurel MT made Life Master Wednesday evening by advancing to the semifinals, and asked us to print this:
As I made my Life Master last night I was thinking how grateful I was to the players of my club in Billings MT. Not only do they answer my unending questions, they are willing to play with me!! I have to give a big thanks to my awesome husband Bob who is my sometimes partner and endures my serious and intense ways, and keeps muttering "isn't this supposed to be for fun?!" And a special thanks to the two ladies who asked us to play on their team: Beth and Dolly.
Congratulations!
