Cabo Charity Tourney (Black & Green Tournament)

[MarkS]

This was the final result of the Black & Green Tourney that I had co-coordinated over the past 4 years. We were supposed to be there but Mara's condition has worsened and we stayed home. My compadres however had already commited money and reservations which were non-refundable so they went, added a few friends of ours from previous tournaments to the team, changed the name of the team to Mara's team and proceeded to take 2nd place! I sure would have loved to fish, swim with the dolphins and eat tacos with my baby girl but it was not meant to be at this time.

Other B31 board noteables, Danny McKinney and John Cranston ended up in 8th position this year.

Here are the standings;

Great times were had, lots of fish were caught….let’s hope tonight everyone breaks out their wallets and we can raise some good money for the kids of Los Cabos.

Mark,

My thoughts and prayers go to Mara, you and your wife, it seems there is not a day when you guys don't cross my mind.

I know we've never met in person, but it doesn't matter in the least. That cute little blonde girl has a magical smile, and I know she displays it well!!!

I hope you guys have fun with Halloween!!!!

Your Friend,

Dug

Dug we had a great showing of Mara's teachers, friends and family tonight.
She made it for most of the evening before she just couldn't anymore and I slid her under the covers and laid with her until she started to snooze.

The many well wishes from this forum add to my strength or weakness as it were and from You, Walter, John Cranston, Danny McKinney, Tom, Bruce, Randall, UV, Mike O, Harry, Andre, Louis and Patrick for this place to share good and bad, I am surely forgetting some fine folks I can only say I hope to enjoy a time at some point.

Bertram parts and advice? That just scratches the surface of the caliber of the folks here.

All of you here, you and all your loved ones stay well,
Mark

Our prayers go out to you and your family. I know Mara has a tough battle ahead but form what you have said, she seems like she remains determined to fight. That is what counts.

We will keep Mara in our thoughts and prayers.

[MarkS]

Thanks Tony!

Our thoughts and prayers are a small part of a big equation, but an important part. Much strength my friend. Walter

I am just glad you some how got John out of first, i think his ego was getting a little inflated! HAhA just kidding. I wish i could have been there as i know you did. Hang in there and we are thinking and praying for you and Mara. Let me know if you need anything when you are in town.

Mark,

You and your family were missed, but were still a large presence at the dinners. Mara was in the thoughts and prayers of those present. Sorry I missed you on the phone call last Thursday night. Dgus was trying to get back in touch with you but it wasn't working out.

I hope Mara had a good night tonight with her friends and family.
