It occurred to me that I should pass these items along to the group. If you've attended any of the myriad tournaments at UTC in the past 7 years, chances are you know some or all of these people... Congratulations to UTC graduates and quizbowlers Shannon Moore and Wally Edmondson, who were married on May 19. Shannon (former UTC A.T.A. president) and Wally (now officially our assistant coach) actually met through quizbowl. Shannon starts law school at UTK next month, while Wally now works for UTC; they've cleverly relocated to Athens, TN, roughly halfway between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Congratulations also to UTK graduates and quizbowlers Scotti Whitmire and Markus Iturriaga, who were married on June 12. For those who don't know Scotti and Markus, besides working with Carol Guthrie as coaches & organizers of the resurgent UTK team, they're among the most loyal stalwarts of UTC's guest reader corps, making the trek from Knoxville often enough to know the menu at Provino's by heart. Congratulations also to Rachel Burnett and David Moore, who were married on July 17th. David is a recent UTC graduate and was the last remaining player from the first squad I coached at UTC. While Rachel hasn't actually played quizbowl, she fits in with our crew so well that there'll be a really cool bonus question at Moc Masters that was her idea. And finally, congratulations to Jason and Marijo Schwengler of Fargo, ND, proud parents of a baby boy. Their first child, Jacob Bruns Schwengler, was born on July 25. You may remember Jason as a quizbowler at Minnesota in the mid-to-late Nineties, or as a frequent player at TrashMasters & Rolla's FOGHAT. He even flew down from Fargo one year just to officiate at TrashMasters. (Actually, it was more for dinner at Provino's, but he did earn his way there by officiating.)
