In their own words
Sitting in a darkened theatre with my Dad in 1977, watching Luke take on the evil Empire almost single-handedly, seared an unforgettable saga called "Star Wars" into my mind forever ( I was 7). With "Use the Force, Luke!" ringing though my head the next day, my friend and I re-enacted every scene, just as we had seen it in the movie. Since I had blonde hair, I always had to play Luke!I still whine a bit now and then, but not until recently did I ever think I would get a chance to re-enact Star Wars with my friends again! Yet, I did get that chance in Febraury of '96, when I learned how to play a new Star Wars card game. Later that same year, after running many tournaments, and helping out at a few conventions, I became a tournament director then Squadron Member. I was asked to host a Regional in Louisville, Kentucky that year too! We had a great turnout, and many more people[1]
