At the 3rd BIG APPLE Comfort Diner Tourney

These are a few photos from the 3rd Big Apple Scrabble tourney at Ira Freehof's COMFORT DINER in New York. I'm writing this intro at the point I gathered 36 photos - might or might not be adding more. They are in the order they were taken. You can view these in the normal way of clicking on the first one then "next" to see the photos with the caption or you can click on the "slideshow" button, above. If you'd like prints of any of these, they can be ordered through this site (see the "buy" button). If you were at the tourney and aren't here, either I didn't manage to get a shot of you or it was so awful that
you'd not be pleased if I put it on line :) :) - might find a few more acceptable shots and will get them up when I can - but I think I need to back away from them for a few days.
