Remembering Thai
This page is dedicated to our friend, Antony T. Nguyen, Thai.
Thai was a member of the Portland Petanque Club and was well-known and loved in the Northwest Region for his enthusiasm, competitiveness and energy. He delighted in travel to the different Northwest clubs to compete in tournaments, as well as to just play. While he could both point and shoot very well, his bias was to shoot and he could be counted on to encourage others, including his opponents, with a call to "Shoot, shoot! What are you waiting for???" Thai was also loved for his confidence that he had the point. From 10 meters, he could tell that his boule had a 1 cm advantage: "It's ours. I guarantee it!! Five dollars!" And he was right...about 50% of the time!
He will be sorely missed by all of his Northwest friends.
