SO THAT’S WHERE I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA OF A SHORT CEREMONY TO PRESENT THE JACKETS @ THE 25TH WEDEL TOURNEY. I GOT AHOLD OF ONE OF THE SONS …TIM & ARRANGED A SURPRIZE CEREMONY ALONG WITH CAKE ETC. BEFORE THE TOURNEY STARTED MON A.M. TIM, ALONG WITH HIS 2 SISTERS, & `8 GRANDCHILREN ATTENDED. TIM HELPED ANN & MYSELF HELPED WALT PUT THE JACKETS ON. JIM MILLER & SHIRLEY MCCULLOUGH ALSO WERE INDUCTED INTO THE SWD HOF IN BRADENTON & ARE SHUFFLE MEMBERS OF THE BATTLE CREEK SHUFFLE CLUB. THE JACKETS ARE FROM THE SWD & LKE THE CENTRAL DISTRICT THE HOF IS ASKED TO PAY 4 IT.
YES, WALT, ANN, SHIRLEY & JIM WERE ALL SURPRIZED . IT WAS HARD TO KEEP THE SECRET CEREMONY. I LET ONLY 2 OTHER PEOPLE KNOW OF THIS.
