Sorry for any misspelling, but this is a reproduction of a list from the internet and I tried to correct wrong names, but I am not familiar with most names, so blame it on my ignorance.


Congratulations to the winners Jasmine Jones, Ed King and Michael Holmes.

Maybe related to Vonda Jones (just a guess).

No relation to Vonda Jones; we just happen to share the same awesome last name ;D

[Michael Holmes]

Congrats on winning your division Jasmine. You are a very good player. It was very nice meeting you. My son and I enjoyed the trip and enjoyed meeting you.

[Jasmine Jones]

Thanks for the warm welcome Ms. Willis, Mr. Moiseyev, Ms. Jones, and Mr. Holmes! And congrats on winning your division too Mr. Holmes! I enjoyed meeting all of you that were there too! ^_^

Could you and Ryan make IL ty in April ?

Sorry to say, but no Ryan and I will not be attending the IL TY. Going to tournaments during the school year is somewhat of an academic suicide; I'm just now getting caught up in school from missing for Tenessee (although the TN TY falls right around mid-terms for me). It was definitely worth going though! ^_^. The next TY Ryan and I will probably be at is the 2010 Nationals (we haven't set that in stone yet though).
