Table Topics winners:
Most Interesting: guest (and recently moved ex-Geospeaker) Laura Landerman who once threw a rock at a very annoying neighbor child and years later, when they were both grown up, found herself at a group dinner with him.

Most Humorous: Cynthia confiding how she once planted her younger brother ("want to grow up big and tall?") as she saw her mother do with young trees!

Chris was Most Eloquent on the subject of inadvertently burning down a shed in her family backyard...no good deed goes unpunished and yes, even apparently cold ashes from the fireplace can start a fire.
