Bill Engelhardt was happy to finish his last mission as Finemaster, and others paid for his happiness and their lack of Thanksgiving trivial knowledge: John Roebke, Al Grover, John Zirbes, Vic Benetti, Christian Klein, Char Webber, and Jim Dauwalter.

Bill also acknowledged Veterans Day by asking for “sponsors” of veterans to pay a dollar. No grumbling was heard! Tables also paid for wrong answers about military trivia. Happy dollars came from Lori Anderson, Ray Schalow (welcome back!), Ken Hiller, Char Weber, John Roebke, and Bill himself. Dr. Paul Olson […]
