Baller oldmanskier Posted November 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2020 This is great news. I went to the worlds at Swiss when Jeff Rogers won. I did not realize that was 18 years ago. I hope to go to this one if the cova19 issue is under control. If you have never been to a Worlds you need to try to attend if possible. The Worlds I attended at Swiss 18 years ago was awesome. Thanks so much to the Travers Family for taking this on. Oldmanskier Tom Smothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
