Some of you were wondering what tables got the correct “killer” during the Mystery Dinner Show at Thursday evening`s dinner. Here are the results for your information. Dale Filholm`s table, Michael Long`s table (with the help of his wife Marilyn), Bill Hart`s table, (Dale Filholm`s table thinks that Bill Hart`s table cheated), Brian Marchant`s table (who some think cheated also) and Dean Lewin`s table, all knew that the “murderer” was Reverend Green with a candlestick in the ballroom. Chuck Mock`s table did know the ‘murderer” and the location but thought the murder weapon was a lead pipe. Ron Youngman`s table and Randy Newman`s table did not figure out the murder of John Boddy, but still had a fun trying to figure it out and a great time was had by all!
