Carolina Pétanque




In Memory of Dick Pollard

Our friend and fellow Carolina Pétanque member, Dick Pollard, passed away on Monday, August 5, at the age of 71, with his wife, Dawn, and his beloved dogs at his side.

Dick struggled with many health issues during the last several years, but he managed to attend multiple pétanque outings-recently in his new "wheeled toy." Often, he would "pet and pamper" and "dog sit" other people's dogs while they played.

Through it all, Dick remained witty, outgoing, and loved to talk and visit with his friends as they played.

He will be greatly missed. 

Congratulations to our National Champions!

Carolina Pétanque had 12 players participate in the National Championship in Milton, GA.  Michel Baudouin, Laura Cooper Bill Cooke, Shirley Jones Nick Verdile, Carol Verdile Terry Wien, Sue Wien John Wilson, Tina Currie Marc Quilici, Kathy Cline.

Congratulations to all the players. HUGE win for Marc & Kathy!!! Kathy won 2 National titles in one weekend! And another special point out--John & Tina won Consolante AAAAA, making Tina a two-time winner of the Consolante for the weekend!
