We were a small band, but the voting was fierce. In fact,
Dave Cunningham and John Barrs tied with 4 natural points each. I
believe that the Rolling Scores give the deal to Dave, but a second
opinion would be welcomed.
For me, this Round was a personal triumph -- my first word that
wasn't DQed or identified by everyone. But then again, it wasn't
really my deal, so I have to credit Toni Savage.
