September 13-14 Thunder Bay Recreation Center in Alpena, Michigan ( our district) hosted the 2008 Adult Mixed Doubles State Championships. There were representatives from Northern Michigan, Western Michigan, Southeastern Michigan and Northeastern Michigan competing at 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0 levels.
Northern Michigan's 7.0 team involved Paul Wieland (captain), Mark Fischer, Kirsten Pappas, Katie Lowran, Sandra Johnson, Gay Soupiset, Eric Bergsma and Mike Rubino. Our 8.0 team consisted of Dree Lo, Tina Blackman, Pam Osterlund, Brian Phillips, Denny Green (captain) and Patrick O'Neill.
