So goes the
March Edition, April 1, 2013
Bowling Was a blast. All of us finally scored 100 or better. This is a major accomplishment for us as the
best we had previously done was keep the ball out of the gutter. Members attending were: Del &
Mike Woolsey, Daisy & Pat Landry, Patsy Mcfarlain and Judy Flint. Two of our regulars, Charlene
Boudreaux and Wayne Pertuit were out due to sickness and hail (sounds like a vow, huh?).
A very special apology goes out to Priscilla Youngquist as her name was accidentally omitted from the
birthday picture published in the Times Picayune-Gretna Edition. And I wish I could say it was the
newspaper’s fault, but it wasn’t. The fault was mine and I sincerely apologize.
Well! Well! Well! Marrero-Harvey Bean Baggers were well represented at the GNO Senior Olympic
Games on March 13th.
The Olympics were opened by the carrying of the torch from team-to-team. Patsy Mcfarlain and
Carolyn Rivet handled these duties for our teams.
We had two teams – Sinsations #1 and Sinsations #2. Both teams advanced to the medal round with #1
beating #2 for the bronze medal. Notable performances for Team #1 were Barbara Guidry in Game #2
who hit a home run with 2 on base and in Game #5 Wayne Pertuit hit a home run to secure 3rd place.
For Team #2 was a walkoff game winning home run by Patrick Landry against Metairie and a game
winning walkoff grand slam by Catherine Breaux against Chalmette. Members of Sinsations #2 are
Catherine Breaux, Dora Simoneaux, Judy Flint, Daisy Landry, Callie Fouquet, Charlene Boudreaux, Del
Woolsey, Patrick Landry and Captain Carolyn Rivet. Everyone on both teams played their hearts out.
