cant make it this year. great tournament
Thanks for starting this thread, Ktown. I was hoping someone would start one soon...
It's my favorite tournament too, Marge. I'm afraid there's gonna be a little sadness in the air this year, though. Gary Caldwell started the tournament for his daughter 15 years or so ago at the armory in Waynesville and it has grown by leaps and bounds. I got word from someone that Gary's daughter died a few months ago, I think now in her early 20s from her sickness.
I'm not gonna play, but I will definitely be up Saturday to see everyone. It is like a family reunion. I see folks there that I don't see anywhere else all year.
It is a great tournament for a great cause...

:thumbup:
:thumbup:
And they say that Mike Gulyassy is hard to beat up there as well...
Not to mention that Daniel Autrey guy, I hear he is a killer.....
always knockin'...... it is at least 300,000.:thumbup:
Hey Daniel, I think I can make it on Sunday. Who all from around Knoxville is going? Matt D.
Hard to tell.
I know Victor will be there if he is feeling well. Russ Edwards is coming with me and dad. The older feller Arthur is usually there watching and Lawrence said he was gonna come for a day and spectate.
Not too many people in Knoxville willing to let go of a 100 a couple of months in advance. That is the reason pool is about dead here.
Yeah, it's too bad. I'd love to be playing more if I only had time. I wish Robby would play in it, I guess poker is quicker action.. Is Hennessee not going with you all?
Henny is staying in Manchester. He has his place open and he is there most of the time unless there is a pretty big event going on.
Mike, I have been to every single one of them, I think this is the 22nd one. Always one of my favorites. I got the message about Gary's daughter some time back also. Man I hate that, Gary is definently good people.
