Ever Wonder about those Board Members?

A while back while on a paddling trip in Mexico, I played an interesting game with the other paddlers on the trip. In this game we each wrote down something about ourselves that people might be surprised to learn. We then dropped all the snippets into a hat and drew them out one at a time. The game was then to figure out which factoid went with which paddler. What I learned is that people will surprise you and that a little info about someone can open up a whole new conversation.

So lets see if you can figure out which factoid below goes with which board member.

Email your guess to commodore@lpbc.net by 11-07-07. I'll bring all the correct answers to the Free Booze & Sand In Your Shoes Party and we 'll do a drawing from all the correct answers, the winner will get an LPBC sweatshirt.

  1. A: This board member once caught a large snapping turtle while fishing with waxworms when on vacation in Canada
  2. This board member went to a college that doesn't allow students to drink or dance
  3. This board member played bass guitar with John Lee Hooker, AND attended the March on Washington, August 28, 1963, where Martin Luther King gave his famous "I have a dream" speech
  4. This board member used to tap dance competitively and once had a job washing dogs
  5. This board member rode down the bobsled run in Lake Placid with the US Bobsled team during their fall training.
  6. This board member served as a Corporal in the Marine Corps during Desert Storm/Shield
  7. This board member advance to the poetry slam ¼ final competition to become a member of the Chicago slam team and compete in the National Poetry Slam
  8. This board member voluntarily leapt out of an airplane in flight, luckily, while strapped to a “cute” instructor with a parachute.
  9. This board member has dropped out of sight and could not be contacted to contribute a story. Milk cartons with the board member's likeness are being printed presently.

Now that you have the facts, try to match them with the board member below.
