Kids Still Play Marbles

Ah, marbles. Kids still play and compete with an old-school pastime. Good to know. And our congratulations to Marilyn Fisher and Dominic Rudakevych, a couple of Maryland teenagers who won the 91st annual National Marbles Championship in New Jersey. Forty-two boys and girls competed in the event. Contestants shot 13 target marbles outside a circle while trying to keep the shooter marble inside the ring. Along with my baseball cards, I lost all my marbles, so to speak. But I'm happy the game's alive and well and happy that the two winners each get $2,000 scholarships, along with trophies AND crowns!
