I second the above. Good luck and great play to Bobby and his team.

Crossing fingers worked great They breezed through the last part of the event and won easily. Well, I finally will get to see a real windmill and wooden shoes in October in

Holland … one part of the world I have never visited. Very exciting week but am happy to be headed home a day early.

By the way, it may be of interest that Bobby was the “oldest” person in the event — turning 79 in October!

It also seems to be the opinion of most that the average age is the oldest team to have won this event.

Congrats to the Schwartz team. Very nice comeback.

One interesting event occurred while I was watching (according to the Vugraph operator). Apparently Hayden and Morse were discussing bids behind the screens when Mike Passell said something like “hey guys this is unfair – I can hear you but Bobby can’t”. He then offered to write down what he had heard for Bobby. Class act.

Congratulations to Bobby and the rest of his team, Judy!

I would send you photos of the two of you that I took – but – my hard drive crashed this a.m. – and my photos have no vanished. Oh well; the memory of winning is what counts!
