Judge William Graham and his wife, Cinny, son of Bill Graham # 322, visited with Warren Odgen # 1120, during an after Christmas trip to Granada, Nicaragua, at the business he owns and operates there, Pure Natural Health & Fitness Center. Warren reports that he has invented a game called PURE Pong that has many allusions to Lo-Lai with a similar spirit and some of the same terminology. Unfortunately, the camera with the pix of them playing was lost, but you can view the PURE Pong table in the pix on his web site: http://www.purenica.com/. Even though he lives in Nicaragua the best USMail address is 3465 West Mercer Way, Mercer Island, WA 98040.
