Player pics of Mary Dunne (Dunn or Donne?), Harry Weisberger & Cheryl van Middlesworth:

Spoiler

Cheryl mentioned her 12-year-old daughter wanted to get on the show and Alex said she was a year away from being old enough for the Teen Tournament. I wonder if she ever got on?

If this was Cheryl (RIP), vanMiddlesworth is apparently 1 word, no space.

ETA: Based on a comment on this obit, it is her.

EATA: I see she was already in the archive. I wonder if her name came up on screen as 2 words? I guess we enter it that way if it did, but I'd add an addendum to her profile page, I guess.

EOATA: I see we covered this before: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=637&start=1400&hilit=iPhone

I don't know if anybody knew about it since I haven't seen it mentioned on here anywhere, but 5-time champion and ToC veteran Mark Eckard passed away last year. https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/york/ ... =186878736

Player pics of Cliff Harris, Sparky, & Bea Cottrell:

Spoiler

Sparky (clean shaven) had Alex name him as John with the last name sounding like something in the area of Wallins, Walling, Wallen.

I knew Bea lost the game and I thought it was going to be on a bad wager when I saw her leading for the FJ! round. Nope, somehow that clue managed to go only 1/3.

The J! season is done and I’m ready for a J! break after doing the weekly poll tomorrow. I still have more regular play partial games to do while the good news is I also found a few complete games as well. August 6 or 7 is when I’ll get the next game in the Archive.

If anyone deserves a break, it's you, Mark.

I can't see the pics at work, but this Stanford Daily story mentions a John "Sparky" Wallin (first column under the picture).

Thanks for your help with the name, Myron. Using it I found this picture that seems to fit a 30-year aging: https://www.google.com/search?q=john+sp ... 52aq3TSuKM:

I found an article about the school board guy that said he was a Stanford grad. So the two seem to be the same person.

Thanks for sharing. I hadn't heard. Sad news, indeed.

I had everything except the introductions and took my best guess of spellings from the chat with Alex.

I have a game to input tomorrow and I am working on figuring out the air date. A PM to the expert still shows it in the outbox, so he has not read it yet. Anyone else have the date for Jennifer Daniels, Phillip Anderson Jr. & returning champ Robert Horton? My guess is late November or very early December 1987? Thanks.

[Ivoryface86]

Mark, about the episode you asked, ask Trevor(animfan), maybe he knows since his dad Carlo worked at this show during that time.

[MarkBarrett]

I added a game I am guessing is from late November or early December 1987: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6081

I’ll adjust the date when more info comes up.

The FJ wagers and their responses showed they knew very little about numbers.
