Landen was playing with Pratap Rajadhyaksha; their teammates were Dan Morse-Bobby Wolff and Adam Wildavsky-Doug Doub. With one round to go, three teams were closely bunched: Landen, Malcolm Brachman (Chris Compton, Mike Passell, Claudio Nunes, Fulvio Fantoni) and Nick Nickell (Richard Freeman, Jeff Meckstroth, Eric Rodwell, Bob Hamman, Paul Soloway). Brachman split their round – 1.5 to 1.5 – while Nickell got only 1 on the round. That put Landen on top with 33.14, followed by Richard Schwartz (Michael Becker, David Berkowitz, Larry Cohen, Zia Mahmood, Michael Rosenberg) with 31.12 and Nickell with 30.65. Landen and Rajadhyaksha claimed their second North American championship as a partnership; they won Open Pairs II at the 2000 Spring NABC in Cin- cinnati. Landen won the same event at the 1990 Spring NABC in Fort Worth. Morse and Wolff won their second North Ameri- can championship at this tournament – they were mem- bers of the winning Senior Knockout Teams earlier in the week.

    We Are Developing a History of ACBL Unit 174. This Will Be an Ongoing Effort and Will Benefit from the Memory and Work of All Unit Members Willing to Participate

    We are developing a history of ACBL Unit 174. This will be an ongoing effort and will benefit from the memory and work of all Unit members willing to participate. Current plans are to update the document three to four times per year. We started with a history of eight clubs within our Unit and now have eleven. If your club is not listed, encourage them to send a club history to David Henke at [email protected]. The next step is a random group of remembrances from various members of our Unit. Included in the initial publication were remembrances from three of our members. We now have remembrances from twelve. I hope many of you will contribute to this. We also plan to include biographies of many unit members. The fourth update of the Unit History will be issued close to the time of the traditional announcement of the Oswald and James Jacoby Service Award by District 16. Twelve Unit 174 members have been recipients of this award. In the fourth update we plan to begin including biographies of these award winners. Volunteers to help with these biographies will be greatly appreciated. We should begin with the 1983 recipient and work our way forward. If you are willing to help with this project, please let me know at [email protected]. The previous Oswald and James Jacoby Service Award winners from Unit 174 are: o 1983 Joyce Cook, o 1988 Jim Downs, o 1989 Dan & Joan Morse, o 1995 Barry Hagedorn, o 1998 Eric Snow, o 1999 Arlene Weingarten, o 2004 Betty Starzec, o 2005 Toni Snow, o 2009 Bert Onstott, o 2012 Lew Levy, o 2016 Paul Cuneo, o 2019 Nancy Strohmer Pictures will eventually be included in the effort, but we have not yet determined how best to accomplish this.

As always, our goal is to provide information and to foster change for the better in a manner that is entertaining, instructive and stimulating. The ACBL Board of Directors is testing a new appeals process at NABCs in 1999 and 2000 in which a Committee (called a Panel) comprised of pre-selected top Directors will hear appeals at NABCs from non-NABC+ events (including side games, regional events and restricted NABC events). Appeals from NABC+ events will continue to be heard by the National Appeals Committees (NAC). We will review both types of cases as we always have traditional Committee cases. Panelists were sent all cases and invited to comment on and rate each Director ruling and Panel/Committee decision. Not every panelist will comment on every case.
