It was a very exciting, stressful, fun bonspiel at the Harvest mixed. Three teams of mostly Nutmeg made the trip down to Paoli for one of the best mixed events in the GNCC.
Maura and Lee Cocky curled with Pam Moan and Roland (Philly). Maura was skipping and made a good showing. They had a lot of fun and held their own against more experienced teams. Pam and Roland also where a huge help with the stressful part, more on that later.
Elly and Karl Bockley played with Ken and Teresa (both Philly) and had a great showing. Two wins to start put them into the first event semis. They ran into the McKinley team (Philly) there and lost a close one to drop to the fourth event. Sunday morning was not better and they lost to team DeJong (Plainfield).
Team Hannon had the big adventure of the weekend. Jeff and Sally had Rob Riehl and Nancy (Philly and Roland's wife). A loss in the first game dropped them into the second event and then things went South from there. Sally suffered an atrial fibrillation on Friday around noon. Roland is a doctor and checked her pulse and a trip to the local hospital was ordered. Short version - ER, IV drip, heart monitor, admitted, overnight stay, ALL IS WELL.
Some able subs were found for Jeff and Sally and the team somehow managed to win the second game while calling and texting to check on Sally. Saturday Sally was back at the club to cheer on the team and they won again. Sunday saw another win in the second event final.
Thanks to everyone in attendance for all the support and help.
Jeff
