From Lynda Finn:

Congrats to Charles Reinke, the Gibsonized winner of the Madison Summer Tourney. Second place came down to the last game where Ian Weinstein and Thomas Reinke battled for the prize, with Ian emerging victoriously. Mary Aline Stevens won the performance prize. Division two was decided by the last game where David John Carlson needed to defeat Linda Stratton to catch her to finish on top. He did that just that, taking first place. Linda Stratton finished second, and Vicki Zimny third. Performance prizes went to James Nalepka and Diana Ittner.
