About 110 worshipers, divided into four narthexes, convened at the Holy Sepulcher of Perpetual OSPD in Ocean City, NJ[1], under the auspices of Margaret Bauer and Tim Maneth.
The expert winner was Odette Rio, a young attorney who will shortly return to her home in the Philippines. A sort of history was almost achieved by Lynn Cushman, who eventually finished fourth; a small win over Odette in game 12 would have put Lynn in first place with a minus cume.
Brilliancy kudos go to Ann Sanfedele, who bingoed through IN while holding an unplayable CHARGED, and to Matt Graham, who bingoed between an N and a C while holding PITHIER. High game: Weinike, 587.
