News from Central Illinois Unit 208 Editor:
Karen Walker, 2121 Lynwood Drive, Champaign 61821 |
Our
newest national championsCongratulations to Jim Melville of Springfield (2nd from right in the photo) and Will Engel of Freeport (2nd from left), who were on the winning team in the Mini-Spingold (0-5000 masterpoints) at the Chicago NABC in July.
Their team-mates were Marty Harris of Chicago (left) and Jacob Morgan of Madison WI (right). District 8 players know Jacob as proprietor of the bookstand at many of our tournaments.
This was the first national championship for all four players. Will and Jim have come close before, placing second in the 0-5000 Mini-Blue Ribbon Pairs in Atlanta in 2005. They each earned 100 masterpoints for the win.
