Thanks to Anthony Golden, Debbie Taylor and Lorrie Boyce for taking the
card to Carla. I've heard from several different sources that Carla
really enjoyed the card (and the visit)!!! Thanks so much to all
whom has helped cheered her day up! Kudos to
Antino Shifano for getting 2 (count 'em) hats in one night!
Everyone played a good job, keep it up!

Thanks to all who've participated in the group photos and signed the giant
cards for Carla and Raymond. It sure will brighten their day
tremendously! Now we're at the mid-point of the season and its
interesting to see the team that started weak, is now coming around
strongly. Also the team that started strongly is now struggling
except maybe for the All American team. Congrats to all that made
progress and please encourage the teams/players that aren't doing so well
to play better in the name of sportsmanship! Everyone did a great
job!

Welcome back! Sorry for the long delay in working on this page, but
now the holidays are over and the birds are singing. Carla McKinley
and Raymond McCurdy are recovering from their head injuries and now
starting their long rehabilitation. They are in need of moral
support and contact with their friends. Carla is in Kindred Hospital
(formerly Lakeside Hospital) on Troost, Raymond is in Truman Medical
Center and is expected to be transferred to Kindred in the very near
future. Now the worst is over, we can expect the dart pages to be
updated on regular basis. See ya all there on Friday!

Wow! there were some Hats flying around last friday!
Congratulations to Jason Warman and Jim Marr for
their first hat of the season! Remember... Hats thrown
in warm-ups or practice does not count! LOL

Carla McKinley is improving very slowly. There is talk of weaning
her off her medications and off life support and within two weeks, move
her into a regular hospital room. Let's all keep her in our thoughts
and prayers. Congratulations to Frank Brown,
Patrick Gibbs, and Richard Shaffer for their first Hat of the season!
I don't think this happens too often. Many of us are pretty
dry on Hats, except for our Hat-meister, Anthony Golden. If he ever
stops having an hat or 100's, we know he is having a rough night.
Congrats to all who made one and to those that came pretty damn close to
getting one!

There is some tragic news again. One of our long-standing League
member, Carla McKinley, has been in an auto accident over the past
weekend. She has major head trauma and the prognosis is not very
good at all. I have been visiting her almost daily, so if you have
any questions about her condition, you can contact me. Please
include her in your prayers.

Dart Pages now updated. We of GKCAD & Dart League wishes to express
our profound sympathies and love to Debbie Taylor in the loss of her
father over the past weekend.
11/5/02
Now the Dart Page is completely updated! I always try to get this
completed by the Saturday or Sunday after the League games, but we all
have several life events that interrupts our plans. Thanks for your
patience! :-)
11/4/02
Wow, very busy weekend for all of us! So many thing has happened
that is too much to tell in this small space. If you have been a
student of NTID, either graduating from NTID or has been there for a short
while, please contact me!
I apologize for the messy scores from last week. Thank you for those
that helped me corrected them and I will devote more time to making sure
they are correct when I entered them. Trying to fill everything in
at last min sure makes a messy dart scores! I'll post half of the
scores tonight and the rest tomorrow night, so be sure to look at the
updates dates & make sure they are current.

I've just learned of the very sad
tragedy over the weekend with KSD football team. The team bus
has lost control and went over the side of the hill. Fortunately
many players and cheerleaders escaped serious injuries, except for 4
people and Lory Kuschmider who passed away. We at GKCAD darts wishes
to express our profound condolences and love to his wife, children and his
friends. I remember Lory very well and wished I had the opportunity
to know him better. Lory was an outstanding member of the Deaf
community and gave his all to Deaf children by being their football coach,
house supervisor, and their mentor. I remember him best for making
me laugh as he has the special skills for cracking me up at almost
anytime. Thank you Lory for that precious gift of memories!
Let's all raise a special glass of beer in toast in his honor at
Mulligan's!

I'm really running behind on alot of things. The pages are updated
and the news will be resumed this weekend. Thanks for your patience
and concerns!
10/1/02
Thanks to those that are patient with me over the past few weeks.
I've been slow updating the web pages due to my grandmother's death,
finding a new apt, packing, and caring for a couple of friends that were
in hospital recently. Phew! After I move to my new apt, I
should be settled in enough to update this web pages more frequently.
:-) If you're curious, click on this link to see what my new
apt looks like!
Important! - There is no dart games for October
4th since most people will be gone to the dart tournament in Minnesota and
to MSD for the football Homecoming weekend. Also no darts on October
11th (forgot why) and darts games will resume on October 18th. Enjoy
those rare two weeks off!
Congratulations to Debbie
Taylor for a double hats in one night and to Jeff Lindley for his first
hat of the season!

Page updated. I'm in process of moving, so I'll give a better
'blurbs when I get settled in.
9/17/02
My apologies for not getting this web page updated sooner. I'm
having some difficulties at home, so this blog will be brief.
Congrats to Charles Boles for his first hat of the
season!
I'm in mourning for our
9th team - Speedy, which was eliminated because we didn't have enough
players to staff that team.
See ya on the 20th!

Amazing! It feels so good to be playing darts, but I've never
experienced playing with 8 teams at the same time. Talk about
organized chaos! It was totally fun to see old friends playing and
new faces. Many of the Rookies shows tremendous potentials, and the
'Old Timers' players still have not lost their edge. I'm so stoked
and psyched for the 2002-2003 year, which promises to have alot of
surprises in store for us. Keep on tossing those darts. :-)
Congrats to Anthony Golden & Christopher Kurz for
starting the season off with a bang with flying Hats! Anthony racked
up one while Christopher was not to be outdone, threw (count 'em) 2 hats!

Huh? Abso-freaking-lutely outstanding!! We have, count 'em, NINE
(9) teams this year! I remember my first year, we had 4 teams.
Second year 6 teams, third year 7 teams. Fourth year is 7 teams
again, but NINE??? Not only that, our sister league at OCD is
starting off with a huge bang with 7 team. Granted that half of the
players on both OCD and GKCAD league are die hard dart freaks like me,
Anthony, Gary, Charles, Kim, to name a few. :-) If you haven't tried
darts, stop by your local deaf club and check it out. It's cheaper
and more satisfying than drug, booze, and sex. Well, almost! :-P

Welcome back Folks! Sorry I didn't update the page over the summer.
I admit that maintaining a dart league page was the farthest thing on my
mind. I'm pleased to say that the summer is behind me now and we can
get on with the serious (and fun) business of playing DARTS! There
is now 2 (Yep, count 'em, TWO!) Deaf Dart League in the Greater Kansas
City metropolitan area! Olathe Club for the Deaf (OCD) is hosting
one on Wednesday night and Greater Kansas City Association of the Deaf
(GKCAD) remains the popular hot spot on Fridays. Please come to both
and join us in fun.
How does Lorrie Boyce does it? This
amazing lady is an officer of the M.A.A.D., Presidnt of OCD, Chairwoman of
OCD Dart League, Web mistress of
OCD webpage AND
OCD Dart League webpage, not to mention numerous committee, clubs, and
associations. All that and plenty of brains packed into a small
frame. Phew, and I just get worn out from typing all that.
Please give her a generous vote of appreciation!
