This year many of us lost a very dear friend, Mr. Hank Dowd. So in memory of Hank, my fiancé Hunter Hildre and I decided we wanted to organize a poker tournament in his memory. On May 16 we held the first Hank Dowd Memorial Poker Tournament. Hank’s wife Diane even came all the way from Whitehorse, Y.T., to attend. Everyone that made it seemed to have a good time. I hope to see everyone again next year. I would like to thank the people who made this event possible: Kerry and Joyce Town, Brian Vonhaden, Kelly Jessup, Sean Sherman, John Newton, Brian Clay, Royce Dombrock, Majory Ballew, Fred Folletti and Hunter Hildre. Thank you so much, everybody. Your generosity warms my heart.
