Nice Turnout Today

The Ari Grashin Memorial Tournament had a fine turnout today, with team T-shirts made up with Avi's name.

This is just the type of day that Avi would have enjoyed, which made the occasion both happy and sad for me. At the pizza lunch that followed the games, I knew exactly which table Avi would have sat at with his friends. He would have been thrilled to meet Howie Schwab of ESPN. Perhaps, he could have "stumped The Schwab."

But Avi wasn't there and I cried inside for him.
