Ok, I've come across a problem that I'm hoping some of you folks out there can help me with:
After going through the Suffolk County Blue Book, which was published in 1933, I now have all of the dates and locations of every Suffolk County tournament that was held from their first tournament in 1886 through 1933. After 1933, though, there's a problem: after asking those who I was told would know where those records might be kept (e.g., Bill Rowse), I was told that no one is really sure where - or even IF - those records were kept.
This would be a terrible shame if I was unable to complete the SC tournament list from 1933 to the present, simply because all the records were lost!
My next option, unless anyone out there can suggest otherwise, is to appeal to everyone and anyone to supply me with as much specific information as they might individually know; for example someone might know only that the 1975 SC Tournament was held at Patchogue (I don't know this, I'm making it up) but that's all. If enough people can supply info about enough years, I can "fill in the blanks" as much as possible to make a complete a list as possible.
Thanks for the help - see you at the track!
Mike

Thanks again!

Yup got that one Vinnie - thanks...any idea who amongst us (possibly not on the digger board) might know about those missing years?

If there is no written documentation anywhere for those years or no-one can remember, like what has been said before, looking at Trophies for those years might be the answer. Getting everyone to raid their trophy display's is going to be the hard part...
