     Kelly's Angels?  We (myself, Kelly McKenzie, Chris Borglum, and
Seth Kendall) were the Popes of Chilitown, riding Kelly's coattails to
victory.  That was an incredible field of teams -- not often does one
get to play back-to-back matches against Hentzel/Hilleman/Waters and
Yaphe/Berdichevsky/Litvak/Heller.  Thanks to Subash for both the team
and singles tournaments, though I don't recall whether the latter was
a Subash production.
