Hey Dave!

Thanks for letting me pick up with strange Blue while I was
in England. Ashley and I had a wonderful time, even if she
was a bit off for the tournament. 

A friend of mine, Charlie, will be heading your way in the 
week or so. I think I saw an ad in the BUF newsletter about
a tournament, Monkfest, that might coincide with his trip. He
is very interested in hooking up with a team, and if Ross was
any indication you might be needing some bodies. He is somewhat
new, but already around my skill level. He has very good athleticism
and is a natural with throws. 

Please put me on your mail list so I can keep up with your 
tournament activity. I hope to get back sometime, and look 
forward to seeing you again. Make sure to drop me a line
if you are coming to the states. I play in both Nashville and
Tulsa, so I may be able to hook you up any time you come to thee
South or Southwest.

We are heading off to the Dead Elvis tournament in Memphis this weekend.
I hope you had a good tournament in 
Leicester (wasn't that it?).

Have fun,

Darren Sherkat

Hey David,

Thanks for adding me to the list, and I'll have Charlie get in touch with
Dora. Congrats on the great show at Lurkers! That is fantastic! We have
our big summer tournament at Memphis this weekend. Last year it was 105 
Fahrenheit. It is played on a sod farm (absolutely no shade) on top of
an old landfill, complete with Methane burnoff towers every 100 yards or so
opposite the fields. The Western border is the MIssissippi river, while
the north is a solid waste treatment plant that lets off a nasty smell. It is
very much like hell. The weather forecast is very similar this year. 
It helps explain why Elvis died in memphis this weekend in August. 
My usual team is Nashville, and I'll be playing with them this tourney. Tulsa
is my other team when I visit Ashley during the school year (she spends that 
time with her mother, in Tulsa). 

have fun,

Darren Sherkat
