CSA Hall of Fame is Now Online!
After much manipulation, the Hall of Fame pictures have been digitized, and Photoshop corrected for physical damage, spots, discoloration and stains from water damage. Examples below is before and after extensively reworking the image, for water-stained Dorothee Gragich (1972)
Or Donny Dobson (1966)
When possible I used the original photograph, but when that was unavailable I used a postage-stamp sized photo from the resume from the earlier inductees, enlarged but blurred a small amount to make it look more like an image than a dot matrix.
Sometimes no photograph was available at all, so I published the resume instead. However, there were two cases where no records found, so nothing to publish for Joe Gale (1974. D11) and Lucy Dekar (1982, D7).
Anyway, Check out the new online HOF HERE.

50 Doubles Pairs Weathered the Storm in District 5

The 3rd day’s storm brought plenty of rain to the Coachella Valley as a result of an atmospheric river-driven storm. The Royal Palms board crew did an excellent job of keeping the tournament running and on schedule even though there were times the puddles had to be sopped up by towels. Kudos to the shufflers, board crew, referees, scorekeepers and the kitchen crew who all weathered the storm.
