Tom Fry, 2024 Texas42 State Champion, Deer Park TX

My 42 Partner comes through marriage

He's married to my wife's twin sister
(btw, I am a twin too)

Their Dad and uncles played 42 every holiday
(they played poker at their deer lease in Hallettsville)

They were ex-Navy from WWII

The uncles never played in a tournament,
but brother-in-laws and sons have played
for several years

My brother-in-laws father was mayor in Pasedena

They stockpiled campaign signs which back then 
were made of plywood

After a couple of elections a 16x16 cabin was built

Now his dad's signs look down from the ceiling

And we walk all over his opponents signs

We enjoy the tournament and look forward to it each year
