Gus Bondi Speaks:? IT WAS AN HONOR FOR ME TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE USNSA HOF!! About two weeks ago I was inducted into the USANSA Hall of Fame as a player and past president. It was a real honor for me!!? Click on pic to expand. Four other shufflers were also inducted...George Adkins, Chuck Crouse, Stan Quinn and Carl Howell. I offered?each my congratulations. I believe that every inductee should be recognized for his/her achievements to the game of shuffleboard and I thank Stan McCormack for putting it on his web site for all to see. I want to thank all my partners that I had in National tournaments in which I played. A special thanks to Earl Ball and Walt Shine with whom I won National tournaments.? I emailed the USANSA president Sandi Quinn and she encouraged me to write up something about myself and I thanked her. I want to thank my wife for putting up with me for 16 years of shuffleboard.....so far.....to get where I am today.....she always gives me a kiss for good luck before I leave to a tournament. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work. I want to thank my board when I was in office for the job they all did.....Sandi Quinn, Rob Robertson, Rich Phifer.....Special thanks go to Landi Adkins my secretary, and who was my presenter for the Hall of Fame Induction. She was my right arm and my left arm and was a great help to me when I was injured in a household accident.Special thanks to George Adkins for his efforts in getting the telecommunications that we use today for two meetings a year. A job well done! Kathy Brennan for her countless hours redoing the USANSA Hall of Fame at Clearwater. She literally rebuilt the entire room from wall to wall and did a fantastic job. You have to stop by and see the great job that she has done.....I also asked her to revise the USA display in the International Hall Of Fame and she did another great job......just ask her to do a job and it gets done. Thanks again Kathy. I want to thank Lary Faris for assistance when I was president of the International Shuffleboard Association.?? I had sought assistance from a math professor from Polk Community College to do the Schedule for the Australian ISA >> and it was wrong....I sent it to Lary to verify and he told me it was wrong and we had it fixed in a very short time.....Thanks again Lary I like to end now with a couple of revised quotes from famous people of the past:OLD SHUFFLERS NEVER DIE.....THEY JUST DRIFT AWAY and???
