\u00a0I told Vivian, the woman holding it all together for the facility, that it was the second best Turkey Club that I&#8217;d ever had, the first only being a massive one at Gallagher&#8217;s at Newark airport that I used to get. \u00a0I had gone back inside when she grabbed me to talk to the chef. \u00a0I told him what I&#8217;d told her, and he said: &#8220;Thank you very much! \u00a0I was actually a chef at Gallagher&#8217;s!!!&#8221; \u00a0Too funny! \u00a0It&#8217;s obvious why the sandwich was so good!<\/p>\n<p>Second, the class was outstanding. \u00a0A large number of Primers and a good number of Refreshers were present and the classroom was large enough to distance ourselves and still be comfortable. \u00a0I even got the very friend of mine who turned me onto Craps about 15 years ago to come for a Primer. \u00a0@DiceDiver loved it! \u00a0He can comment further. \u00a0Some lively discussion and some great time at the instructor tables made for what I would call a very successful return to Class!<\/p>\n<p>Third, the play was great. \u00a0Yes there are some venues with Plexi, some playable, some not. \u00a0I preferred the early morning play where I stayed and down the strip a hair. \u00a0I had some good hands, some not so good, but I was also on some great hands by others, including a 4 stick change hand that put me comfortably ahead for the trip and it stayed that way. \u00a0I know some folks were in for craps tournaments, but those I&#8217;ve heard from did not get beyond Round 1. \u00a0Hopefully we&#8217;ll hear of someone who made it further.<\/p>\n<p>Stay well, all!\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dominator on October 29, 2020, 7:15 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>We want to say that HardNine became an intern at this seminar and we are lucky to have such a great guy, outstanding shooter, and a dedicated and professional instructor!<\/p>\n<p>Dom<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> High Arc on October 29, 2020, 9:28 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>@dominator I wish I was there it sounded like a great seminar!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>High Arc<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> HardNine on October 30, 2020, 6:06 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>@dominator, thanks, great to be part of what I&#8217;ve always thought was a great team and family!
