There were 64 participants. No problems of any significance. Weather was great....in the 80's. I'd like to thank all of the participants for coming and hope they all make it back next year. Carol Kaplan was (and is) a gracious winner. STEVE GORDON IS BACK! Again, I apologize for this being late. See you in Las Vegas. Bonnie
