     "Sweety"  was  really hopping around again this weekIn game one "Saweet" Johnny Hensley hollered for her. He only managed to hold on for two games before "Easy" Ed Baustian snatched her away in game three. She sat quietly until game six when Jim "The Teach" Duff managed a 24 in his crib against John "Rotten " Reed. But "Rotten" got even scoring a 24 on the very last hand of the same game while only needing 4 points to go out and didn't peg out so the hand counted. Then "Lethal" Lisa Duff got revenge for hubby by getting her 24 in game seven. That turned out to be very busy games as J.R. "The Spoiler" Cast  was next in line for a short time before "Bad" Betty Morehouse took her turn with Sweety also in the seventh. Dick "The Grumbler" Taylor took two turns with her in his game eight and nine but couldn't hold her as along came Pat "Driller" Jungman in game nine to finish off her travels for the evening and collect $16.00
