Capriotti’s Sandwich
Shop which was named
after the founder Lois
Margolet’s grandfather,
Philip Capriotti, who loved
to cook for them started
in Wilmington, Delaware
1976. Their concept was to
capture the hearts of “real
turkey lovers,” an idea that
would separate Capriotti’s
Sandwich Shop from almost
all of its competition. They
wanted to roast whole fresh
turkeys overnight, a concept that no other sandwich
shop in the area offered.
They began by cooking one
turkey per night, but the
demand grew to the point
where they were cooking
10 to 12 turkeys per night.
They served sandwiches
made-to-order with fresh
roasted pulled turkey, the
best quality meats and
cheeses, and fresh rolls and
produce delivered daily. At
the Glendora store which
opened up a little over a
month ago you will find
their famous turkey sandwich The Bobbie and others.
For more information
please contact the Glendora
store Manager Steve Orozco
at 909-599- 1600 and visit
them at 1331 S Lone Hill
Ave Glendora, CA 91740.

through the Foundation for
Glendora Unified Schools
(FGUS). In total, the promotion resulted in $720 being
donated from Rossmyer and

A patient recently visited with a symptom of neck
and low back pain. It was
caused from an auto accident injury in last April. She
went through various types
of treatments, but the neck
and back pain have never
gone away. She was very
happy with the tremendous
improvement after the 1st
week of the treatments.
A number of patients
experienced the migraine
symptom. Most of them
have been suffered migraine
for years and tried all different types of medications.
No medication seemed
to help them so far. They
also had a common concern
that the medication can be

Back Pain & Sports
Injury Acupuncture Center
has been specializing in
stroke, back pain, sports
injury, headache, heel pain
and a lot of difficult diseases for more than 40 years.
My father, Dr. Chao Chen,
developed the theory, “I
Ching Acupuncture”. In our
clinic data, more than 60%
of my patients visited due to
back pain. 80-90% of them
experienced great relief after
3-12 treatments in average,
even if the back pain was
caused from a surgery.

addicting. Another interesting commonality among
these patients is that their
migraine all started from
the rear of their heads.
Rear headache is an indication of a potential cervical
problem. It’s highly possible
the headache is triggered
from the cervical problem.
It also explained why none
of the migraine medication worked on them. After
I checked on their necks,
they sure all had cervical
problems. People often had
mistaken the symptom of
cervical problem as headaches or migraines. Once I
found the root cause of the
migraine, I anticipated they
would be completely healed
with a couple of weeks of
treatments.
Back pain is the most
common problem seen
in my clinical experience.
There are many things you
can do to prevent back pain.
Following any period of
prolonged inactivity, begin
a program of regular lowimpact exercises. Walking
or swimming 30 minutes
a day can increase muscle
strength and flexibility.
Yoga can also help stretch
and strengthen muscles and
improve posture. Always

Marketing Tips

The Wonderful World
of Color
It was somewhere in
the 1960’s, I believe, that
I received a notice in my
mail that General Tire, the
parent company of AerojetGeneral where I was working, was standardizing on
a new corporate logo and
equally important, they
had selected a specific color.
This was an announcement
that found a home in my
brain because I believe they
paid some advertising agency or consultant $50,000 to
come up with a bold, block
“G” and a bright red color.
In those days, $50,000 was
a lot of money and it made
me wonder why I had been
wasting my time as an aerospace engineer when I could
get big bucks by selling some
company on one or more letters from the alphabet and
a color with a slightly different shade that I could back
with a lot of hoop-la and get
a year’s salary.
Anyway, their trademark protection called for
either all black, or this specific off-red color, identified
by a percentage mix of cyan,
magenta, yellow and (K)
black. In the printing industry in those days, that’s the
way (4-color process) you
could print a color in Los
Angeles and it would be
very close (depending on the
type of paper you printed
on) to the same color when
printed in Akron.
Then along came
Pantone, an ink manufacturer, and they began
to distribute color charts
with numbers on them to
identify the color changes
as they varied across the
whole color spectrum. Even
today the Pantone numbers
are the fundamental callouts for selecting colors for
a wide range of industries
and the move to computer
generated digital colors
has further refined the process. Along the way they
discovered that marketers
should pay attention to both
ends of the like and dislike
range of basic colors. They
wanted to know how many
people loved blue, but at the
same time hated orange!
Put all the color combinations together and you now
a whole new field of color
consulting which evolved
with a lot of experts, artists
and even plain old humans
expressing their druthers.
As the years went by,
Pantone (and some related
organizations) thought it
would be nice to select THE
COLOR OF THE YEAR!
Manufacturers and retailers loved that since it meant
that people would have to
buy a whole new inventory
of whatever in order to stay
in the forefront of fashion
and be part of the in-crowd.
Men, ask your wife or girlfriend about this little budget-busting element of our
society.

The next time I see some
of you I will expect to see
this beautiful emerald color
somewhere as part of your
ensemble. You may need
business cards and letterheads/envelopes as well.
Let me know if I can help
you find the people who
love that color. They may
increase your response rate
to the level necessary to
pay for all the changes you
will incorporate in your ads
and collateral material. My
advice is to think through
the economics of what you
will be spending versus the
INCREASE in your bottom
line profit. If you can’t see
enough potential - don’t
change your color!

This Spud’s for You
Tina L. Kerrigan MS, RD
As Saint Patrick’s Day
approaches, we will soon be
inundated with all things
Irish (not that that’s a bad
thing). Invariably linked
with the Irish is the potato.
A common nickname for
this ubiquitous tuber is the
“spud”.
One belief is that this
moniker comes from the
idea that the potato has little nutritional value. There
was a group in Jolly Olde
England called the Society
to Prevent Unhealthful Diet,
whose main target was the
lowly potato. Their goal was
to remove this starchy staple
from the pantry panoply of
Victorian victuals (sorry, I’ll
try to control myself). Many
think that SPUD is an acronym for this little lamented
(oops!) organization.
But no! The potato is
chock full of nutrients and
deserves a prominent place
on our tables. An average
potato of about five ounces contains 45% of the recommended daily intake of
vitamin C. A russet offers
up to 40% of the daily value
for iron. Potatoes contain
more potassium by weight
than bananas, spinach or
broccoli. Trace elements of
thiamin, riboflavin, folate,
magnesium, phosphorous,
and zinc are also hidden
away under that brown,
red, white or purple skin.
Many believe that the nutrients of the potato are primarily in the skin. This is
not correct. Both the skin
and the body of the potato
share all the healthful elements. The skin is a great
source of fiber, containing
up to three grams per serving. So, despite, the SPUD
people, the potato provides
ample nutritional value, no
fat, no cholesterol and minimal sodium in a tidy package. All this goodness, however, will be negated with
massive toppings of butter,
sour cream, cheese, bacon
or gravy. Try them steamed
or roasted with a little olive
oil for a change and enjoy
their natural flavors.
Why spud? A spud is
a short wide knife or dagger used to turn over soil
for planting. Over time the
name of the tool used to
plant the potato transferred
to the potato itself.
Remember to eat seven
total servings of fruits and
vegetables every day!

Where Has The
Common Sense
Gone?
Jordan Nichols, CSCS
We see it on television
with reality shows and
infomercials that one must
exercise to complete exhaustion or even to the point of
throwing up to achieve your
fitness results. Ask yourself a few easy questions.
1) How does this increased
intensity help the remaining part of your day? 2) Why
do you need to get your butt
kicked and possibly injure
yourself in the first place to
feel like you had an effective
workout? 3) Have we really
reached the point in the fitness industry where hurting ourselves has become so
commonplace that our injuries are worn like a badge
of honor and we can’t wait
to do it again? Anyone can
beat someone up by yelling
at them and having them
perform silly exercises! But
it takes a lot of thought to
implement an intelligent
program design for someone to live a more productive and injury free life. Any
respectable program’s number one goal should be to
take away one’s pain and
not deliver it.
Exercise related injuries have skyrocketed in the
last couple of years and in
large part to the explosion
of the high intensity workout till you drop boot camps.
Performing high coaching
demand exercises with 30
people in a class is a recipe
for a disaster. The average
person will butcher most
of them, so you have an
instructor running around
correcting poor form all day.
There is no consideration
for individual need, level,
or circumstance. We are so
caught up in keeping the
intensity going and burning
those calories that there is
zero time to teach one how
to do things correctly. We
need to accept the fact that
every calorie you expend in
your workout will need to
be replaced period! If you
burn a thousand calories
guess what your body wants
everyone of those calories
back, so why not learn how
Improving one’s quality
of life is not accomplished
by completely ignoring the
basic fundamentals that
one must have before they
can perform certain exercises or just “do hard stuff till
you’re really tired”. It’s like
saying “I’m not very good at
what I do so I will just come
up with something new and
difficult each session! This
is a train wreck approach.
Competency, efficiency and
motor control of a movement must be mastered first
and foremost. After millions of dollars in research
and hundreds of thousands
of hours of application, our
knowledge and understanding of performance and
injury prevention goes well
beyond “doing a lot of hard
stuff until you’re tired”. If
Rocky were to come work
with me, I’d have to tell him
we’ve moved on from punching beef cadavers in a meat
locker. In the real world,
intelligent training gets better results.
Look better, feel better and move better. At
Heart Fit, our results driven approach covers every
aspect necessary to achieve
your goals, whether they
involve weight loss, sports
performance or a healthier
lifestyle. If you are looking to lose weight or need a
jump-start to get back into
shape our highly qualified
trainers will provide the
knowledge and the means
to help you become fit and
stay that way. We are offering a free functional movement screen and one free
personal training session
to those that are looking to
improve their quality of life.

to do the exercise correctly?
This is why exercise is not
for weight loss but rather
improving one’s movement
and quality of life!
Corned Beef, Cabbage, and
Rice is not a wee bit less Irish
Rice, you say? Rice? Well it
just so happens that eating rice
with corned beef and cabbage is
no less Irish than the dish itself.
I learned this a few years ago on
a trip to Ireland to celebrate my
son’s graduation. Our native Irish
tour guide said her people don’t
eat corned beef and cabbage at all
(in fact, they laugh heartily when
we ask for it in their restaurants).
It is strictly an
Irish-American invention.
Irish bacon
and cabbage
is what they
eat on the
Emerald Isle.
Now, granted,
Janice Moist
Irish bacon is
quite different than ours. It comes
in big, smoky chunks, not in the
thin, crispy strips we’re used to
here, and I find it quite delicious.
But back to America and the rice:
it soaks up the broth even better
than the traditional potatoes, so
you get more corned- beefy flavor
in every bite. Sure ‘n your clan’ll
be lovin’ this twist on an American-Irish classic.
Be sure to allow about four
hours to prepare this feast—luckily, St. Patrick’s Day falls on a
Sunday this year. Glory be!
Corned Beef, Cabbage, and
Rice
Ingredients
• One lean corned beef brisket
• 1 bottle or can of your favorite
pale ale (Bass Ale works well, but
don’t tell Jerry Adams)
• Half a head of green cabbage, coarsely chopped (about 2”
squares)
• 1 ½ cups long or medium grain
white rice (Basmati is good, too)
• Enough spring or filtered water to cover the brisket in the pot
Putting it all together
Place the corned beef in a large
pot along with the contents of the
seasoning packet that comes with
it. Pour in the ale and add enough
water to cover the brisket. Cover
the pot and bring to a boil. Lower
the heat and let it simmer for a
few hours (figure about an hour
per pound). It should be very tender when poked with a fork. If
not, put it back on the stove for
another half an hour or so. Once
the corned beef is cooked, remove
it from the pot and put aside, leaving the broth in the pot.
Measure 3 cups of broth into
a smaller pot for cooking the rice
and leave the rest in the large pot.
If you have less than a cup of broth
remaining, you can supplement
with chicken stock for cooking the
rice, but definitely use the corned
beef broth to cook the cabbage.
Pour the rice into the 3 cups of
broth, bring to a boil, cover, lower
the heat, and cook for about 15
minutes. While the rice is cooking,
chop your cabbage and add it to
the large pot. Cook over medium
heat until it’s done the way you
like—it takes only a few minutes
and will likely be ready before the
rice. I use a slotted spoon for serving. Slice the corned beef, scoop up
some rice, and your Irish feast is
ready! Serve with your favorite
mustard or horseradish sauce.
Feeds 4 to 6 hungry people (Irish
or not).
If you’re still feeling a little
“sheepish” about serving rice instead of potatoes, here’s an old
Irish blessing to bump up the
Celtic quotient of your St. Patty’s
day meal:
May love and laughter light your
days
And warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be
yours
Wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your
world
With joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
Bring the best to you and yours!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Stand and Deliver, Based
on the screenplay by Ramon
Menendez and Tom Musca,
Adapted for the stage by
Robert Bella, and directed
by Alma Martinez.
Based on the Oscar nominated motion picture originally released by Warner
Brothers, Stand and Deliver
tells compelling true story of
a dedicated East Los Angeles teacher who surmounts
overwhelming odds in his
quest to turn inner city students into whiz kids.
Math teacher Jaime Escalante challenges the low
expectations of inner city
education by teaching Advanced
Placement
(AP)
Calculus at Garfield High
School in East Los Angeles, a school plagued by
gang violence and high drop
out rates. His unorthodox
teaching methods, humor
and belief in the intellectual potential of his students
pays off when they pass the
AP exam, a test that less
than 2% of seniors across
the country even attempt.
However, the skeptical
Educational Testing Service invalidates the scores
because of the unusual similarity of wrong answers.
Reluctantly, the students
agree to retest. The result provides the dramatic
conclusion to this emotion
packed, inspirational, urban
legend.
“Calculus was not made to
be easy…it already is.” –
Jaime Escalante.
Stand and Deliver will
perform at the Pomona College Seaver Theatre, March

Twain’s Waikiki
still Waikiki
Story & Photos By Stan Wawer
Travel Editor Stan Wawer is
a La Verne resident, a member
of the Society of American Travel
Writers and editor of his own
travel blog, www.travelwithstan.

Mark Twain, under the
guise of Samuel Clemens,
visited Honolulu’s Waikiki
Beach in 1866. He came
on an assignment for
the Sacramento Union
to explore the Sandwich
Islands and write his
impressions for an American
audience.
“On a certain bright
morning the Islands hove
in sight, lying low on the
lonely sea, and everybody
climbed to the upper deck
to look,” he wrote of his first
sighting of Oahu aboard the
steamer Ajax. “After two
thousand miles of watery
solitude the vision was a
welcome one.
“As we approached,
the imposing promontory
of Diamond Head rose up
out of the ocean, its rugged
front softened by the hazy
distance, and presently the
details of the land began to
make themselves manifest:
first the line of beach; then
the plumed cocoanut trees
of the tropics; then cabins of
the natives; then the white
town of Honolulu.”
Twain’s Honolulu has
changed dramatically in 147
years. The Waikiki
Beach of 2013 is a maze
of hotels, mirrored office
buildings and a high-end
shopping district.
“A good part of Honolulu
turned out to welcome the
steamer,” Twain further
wrote. “It was Sunday
morning, and about church
time, and we steamed
through the narrow channel to the music of six different church bells, which
sent their mellow tones far
and wide, over hills and valleys, which were peopled by
naked, savage, thundering
barbarians only 50 years
ago!”
Despite Twain’s culture-bound ethnic insensitivity, he showed a love of
Hawaiians that is quite
insightful for a white guy
from 19th-century Missouri.
Waikiki, perhaps the
world’s most famous island
beach, has more than 100
hotels along a two-mile
shore and more going up
every day. It may not be

still Waikiki. You say to

caught up in its mystique.
You can while away the
hours on the white-sand
beach, paddle an outrigger
to the open sea; join other
surfers in search of the perfect wave, shop until you
drop or explore the history of Honolulu, including a
tour of Pearl Harbor.
It’s going to take some
exploring on foot to get
acclimated to
Waikiki. A block in any
direction from the beach can
be disorienting.
In Southern California,
I use the mountains as a
directional guide.
The beach would be that
landmark in Waikiki if you
could remove all the high
rises. I got lost my first couple of days staying at the
Waikiki Beach Marriott
Resort and Spa until I started following surfboarders to
the beach.
Waikiki Beach Walk,
a new, high-end tourist
district that once attracted kamaaina (Hawaiian
residents), is a $535 million project by Outrigger
Enterprises Group. The
largest development project ever to be undertaken in
Waikiki, the facelift transformed a once tired 7.9acre area. The Ala Moana
Center ’s expansion, with
Nordstrom as its major tenant, opened to shoppers
in March, 2008. The Ala

retail space. Existing shops
include Hermes, Coach,
Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gap,
Banana Republic, Ann
Taylor, St. John and more.
Another renovation project
is expected to be completed
in advance of the 2013 holiday season.
I was in Honolulu for
the history, but I enjoyed
the beach and the tourist
benefits of Waikiki.
Iolani Palace
Located in Honolulu’s
business district, next to
the state Capitol. It is the
only true royal palace in the
United States (not counting
Hearst Castle) and the last
residence of the kings and
queens who ruled Hawaii.
King Kalakaua and Queen
Kapiolani completed the
palace in 1882. The design
of the palace was influenced
by King Kalakaua’s world
travels and was the first to
be equipped with telephones
and electric lights. It served
as the monarch residence
until the dethronement of
Queen Lili’uokalani in 1893
by American businessmen.
The Queen surrendered to
the United States to prevent
the bloodshed of her people
and hence, Hawaii became
a territory of the U.S. The
building then served as the
Capitol, first for the territory and then the state.
The new State Capitol was
built in 1969 and the pal-
Saturday.
King Kamehameha Statue
The most beloved and
i l l u s t r i o u s o f H a w a i i ’s
heroes, Kamehameha unified the Hawaiian Islands.
His government maintained
peace and traditional values even under intense
Western influence. This
statue is one of three cast in
Paris from a model made by
American artist T.R. Gould.
The statue, in front of
Ali’Iolani Hale, was dedicated in 1893 as part of King
Kalakaua’s coronation ceremony. It is one of three statues of King Kamehameha
I. One statue is in Kohala
on the Big Island and
one is in Statuary Hall in
Washington, D.C.
Diamond Head
Diamond Head is the
most famous volcanic crater in the world. It sits on
the southeast coast of Oahu
at the end of Waikiki. The
ancient Hawaiians originally named it Laeahi. The
name meant “brow of the
tuna” (charming). The name
Diamond Head was given
to the crater by British
sailors in the 1800s. When
they first saw the crater at
a great distance, the calcite
crystals in the lava rock
appeared to glimmer in the
sunlight. The sailors mis-

takenly thought there must
be diamonds in the soil.
Diamond Head is a crater
that has been extinct for
150,000 years. The crater
is 3,520 feet in diameter
with a 760-foot summit.
When the United States
annexed Hawaii in 1898,
harbor defense became a
main responsibility. One
of the major defense forts,
Fort Ruger, occupied the
Diamond Head Crater. A
battery of canons was located within the crater providing complete concealment
and protection from invading enemies. An observation
deck was constructed at the
summit in 1910 to provide
target sighting and a four
level underground complex
was built within the walls
of the crater as a command
post. A 580-foot tunnel was
dug through the crater wall
to provide easier access to
the Fort.
The observation deck
and underground complex
is now abandoned with the
advent of radar but evidence
of the command post is still
present along Diamond
Head Trail. The trail is
unevenly paved almost the
entire way and it is steep in
spots.
There are two sets of
stairs, one with 99 steps
and one with 76. There is
also a 225-foot unlit tunnel. The hike is classified
as easy to moderate in exertion (obviously classified
by Superman) but is certainly worth the breathtaking, unparalleled view of
the entire west side of the
island, from Waikiki to Koki
Head. The day I climbed the
crater it was hot and dry.
When I reached the first
set of stairs, someone coming down said, “You’re halfway to the top.” Not true,
but you are at the toughest
part of the climb. I rate it as
moderate to difficult.
The Diamond Head
Lighthouse is built on
the steep coast cliff of the
extinct Diamond Head
Volcano. The original lighthouse was built in 1899 and
the original fresnel lens is
still in use today. You get
a great view of the lighthouse from the Crater ’s
observation decks. You look
straight down at it. The current structure was erected
in 1917. Built of reinforced
concrete, the 55-foot lighthouse stands 147 feet above
sea level and projects its
light 18 miles out into the
Pacific Ocean. The lighthouse is completely automated with a back-up battery in case of a power outage. The light keeper quar-

Hanauma Bay
This “Curved” bay was
declared a protected marine
life conservation area and
underwater park in 1967.
This is the best beach area
if you are new to scuba
diving or snorkeling with
a diversified population of
fish and a rich coral reef.
The bay floor is the crater of
a volcano that opened up to
the ocean when the exterior
wall collapsed. There is a
large sandy beach perfect
for sunbathing and there
are several hiking trails
leading to breathtaking
lookouts.
USS Arizona Memorial
No trip is complete
without a visit to the USS
Arizona Memorial. The
battleship has rested in
its watery grave at Pearl
Harbor since Dec. 7, 1941.
The overturned hull of
this battleship entombed
some 1,100 sailors caught
unaware by the Japanese
bombs that sank this mighty
ship and brought the United
States into World War II.
The memorial was built
in 1961 as a tribute to all
the men and women who
lost their lives on that historic day. The memorial is
184 feet long and carefully
crosses over the Arizona’s
midsection. Openings along
the both sides of the memorial afford a dramatic and
solemn view of the ship
resting on the floor of the
harbor. Even teenagers and
young children spoke quietly while at the memorial
in honor of those who lost
their lives on that day “that
will live in infamy.”
Of the 834 survivors,
34 are still living. Many of
the survivors who have died
since 1941 requested they be
cremated and their remains
placed inside the Arizona.
“It is an incredibly moving
ceremony,” said Doug Lentz,
a National Park Service
ranger. “Divers go down and
place the remains in the
Arizona. Above there is a
21 gun salute and taps are
played.”
The memorial is attended by the National Park
Service. The visitor center is open from 7:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. The last program
begins at 3 p.m. No reservations are taken; all tours
are free and on a first-come,
first-served basis. The lines
are incredible. Only 4,500
people are taken each day
and the quota is generally
filled by 11:45 a.m. The tour
starts at the visitor center
with a haunting 22-minute
film that is beautifully nar-
rated by actress Stocker
Channing, followed by a
shuttle out to the Arizona.
As you head out to the
memorial, you get a glimpse
of the beginning and ending of World War II in the
Pacific. To the left is the
USS Missouri whose deck
was the site of the Japanese
surrender and to the right
is the USS Arizona, which
sunk when Pearl Harbor
was bombed, bringing the
U.S. into WWII.
I suggest you get in line
for the memorial tour about
6:30 a.m. For $26.17 adults
and $20.93 children, the
Sheraton Waikiki Hotel has
a tour that leaves the hotel
at 6:10, gets you near the
head of the line and has you
back at by 10:45 a.m.
You might want to make
a day of it and visit the
Missouri and the Pacific
Aviation Museum on Ford
Island.
I finished up every day
with a walk on the beach at
Waikiki and a swim in the
ocean. Tough life.

Opera Talks at the
Glendora Public
Library
The second “Opera Talk”
will be Saturday, March 16
at 2:00 pm in the Bidwell
Forum. It will highlight
the Flying Dutchman by
Richard Wagner and conducted by James Conlon.
The legend of the ghostly
ship condemned to wander
the oceans forever has fascinated opera lovers-and
more recently movie lovers-for hundreds of years.
An enthralling score, illuminated by striking stage
imagery, power and a thrilling journey into an unsettling, mythic world where a
tormented spirit seeks true
love as his redemption.
The third “Opera Talk”
will be Saturday, May 4
at 2:00 pm in the Bidwell
Forum. It will focus on
Behind the Scenes at the
Opera. Opera is not just
magnificent music, dance
and theater with astounding sets on a beautiful
stage; opera can sweep you
away to foreign lands, take
you back in time, dazzle you
with pageantry and bring
history to life. It is literature, social studies, cultural diversity, multiple languages and most of all, it is
exciting! We will explore the
world of opera, behind the
curtain.
The Glendora Public

increase communication,
make new friends and exercise the brain.
The world was blown
to smithereens a number of times on Saturday,
February 2 from 1:00 to 8:00
pm at the “Family Game
Day”. Occasional bursts of
laughter from the Zombe
Fluxx card game table
washed right over those
concentrating to answer
clues on a 25 foot crossword
puzzle, accompanied by a
pleasant, continual jingle
as folks of all ages worked
to untangle Metal Tangle
Puzzles. A small audience
cheered for the youngster
and adult as they battled
it out at FastTrack. Other
games everyone had fun
playing were Ticket to Ride,
Arimaa, Backgammon,
Mexican Train Dominoes
and Abalone. Participants
even brought their own
favorite games to share.
Ron Polk, game aficionado, brought bins filled
with unusual games and
puzzles of all kinds. The
puzzles ranged from easy to
hard, from metal to wooden.
He laid all of them out on
tables and challenged anyone to put them together or
take them apart.
Robert McNally, game
designer, brought many
interesting and little-known
board games. Comfortable
spaces were created that
invited the participates to
sit down and learn a new
game.
