They had been married for 49 years… Congratulations to these BPC players who cashed at the Wisconsin State Championships: Linda Rockwell (Championship-2nd), Tak Morioka (Champ LC-2nd)… Vote for BPC waitress Trisha (Patricia Kozina) to be named Miss Polonia Illinois HERE… Phil Simborg announced a big tournament to be held in Australia January 2019.
