Last year we lost a great guy and good friend in the tournament world, Mr. Harvey Bader. Harvey was one of the first people I talked with about the cruise. As a matter of fact I changed the departure date to accumadate Harvey who had a conflict with the original date. Harvey was a great guy, very good tournament player, and good friend. I have been planning this for a long time but wanted to finally annouce it. The first cruise tournament on November 1st, 2005, will be: "The Harvey Bader Memorial Blackjack Tournament" As much as Harvey enjoyed tournament play I feel this is the best way for me to honor him. I can only hope that Harvey will be watching from above with a smile on his face for all the smiles that he brought to ours while he was still with us.
