... Desnoyers and his lovely wife Amanda. After finishing his shift at the Horseshoe in Tunica, Todd drove to my sister-in-law Penny's home in Memphis to swap chips and chip stories. (Amanda and Penny spent most of the time ignoring us and probably having a more interesting conversation.)

I made some nice acquisitions for my collection and hope that Todd feels the same.

Unfortunately, Thom Williamson and I were unable to hook up in person, though we did chat for a few minutes of the phone. Am looking forward to meeting him in person the next time I visit Memphis.
