- Surprise Quiz on Racing. Sergeant-at-Arms Jim Stickler was aided by race car driver Rob Musante, who challenged us to come up with the correct answers to several questions having to do with car racing. Most tables failed miserably, but one team did the best. The clever and knowledgeable table-mates were Jeff Yarnall, Mike, Melody and Alison Stone, Dianna Weston and Mike McCleskey. (The rest of us had to pay a $3 fine, but we all learned something about racing, so it was worth it!).
