Oldest Poker Club in America

This is our "Once a Month" Poker Club. Missing from the picture is Frank Krider. Mark Wagner is our newest member. He's been playing for a little over 2 years now. We started playing at least 15 years ago. Then, we played the 1st Saturday of every month, from 7:00 - midnight. After about 10 years, we shortened it to 7:00 - 11:00 pm. Then, about 3 years ago, we started playing 2 months, off 2 months. Our schedule runs Feb-Mar, off, Jun-Jul, off, Oct-Nov,off. That way we leave out Derby time, and Christmas/New Years times, which were hard to get scheduled when everyone could make it.

L to R: Mark, Kevin, Chuck, Bob, Jack, Herman. I don't think we've been around longer than any other club, but I think our combined ages might qualify us as the oldest. The way things are going, in several years we'll probably all vote to get together once a year, instead of 6 times a year. You can tell by looking at the picture we might need to start recruiting some new young blood. It's been fun!
