Joe has been playing in Fudpuckers Volleyball Tournaments for 16 years, even finished second in various events half a dozen times, so it doesn’t get any better than finally winning one of them. Unless you count waiting 48 years for the Red Sox to finally win the World Series in 2004. Must have been all that AVP coaching on my Volleyball Vacation in Turks and Caicos. It could not have been drawing the right partner’s name out of the hat.

What more could I ask for than a Volleyball Vacation? Joe got to play volleyball with Olympic Gold Medalist Phil Dalhausser and several other players on the AVP tour. While they gave me some great tips, I still can’t jump high enough to reach the top of Phil’s wingspan. Well, at least I made a few new friends.
