May 19th Butterhup Doubles
Artie Cussell held his annual Pro-Doubles event to celebrate his birthday. Unfortunately 'Butterhup' wasn't feeling well and couldn't make this year's event. All his friends did call to let him know that, as he instructed, the show did go on. The cash awards were as follows: champions $400/team, runners-up $200/team and semifinalists $100/team.
Ron Reggio , a free lance producer for YES, showed up with a camera crew to shoot some of the action and do interviews.
