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
