Her name is Terri Ferguson, and this was her first quizbowl-
related activity ever. The good news? No one scared her, and she
enjoyed the tournament. :)
> 6-3 Allentown A
> 5-3 Allentown B
For those of you wondering who "Allentown" is, the players are
members of a trivia club based in the Lehigh Valley area of
Pennsylvania (although at least one of the regulars is a Delaware
native). The group holds practices, writes their own questions and
holds 3-4 tournaments a year at Allentown-area hotels.
I was told about this group through Paul Bailey and the Colorado
folks, and invited them to "walk the walk" and compete at TRASH. I
think they definitely did that :)
