About 8 years ago at one of our Clark Reunions, Doug's family found the trophy below that my nephew, Andy, is holding. It has been the official Rook trophy for the winners of the Clark Rook Tournament. I've had the trophy at my house all these years, since I've been the Rook champ every year. The first 2 times, Tyler was my partner and the 3rd time, my brother Dave was my partner, but this year I got dethroned and had to give up the trophy. Andy took the trophy back to California because he and Tyler won. The problem was - there was only one trophy, so the 2 winners didn't both get a trophy.....
UNTIL NOW.........
My nephew, Riley, found a duplicate trophy at Deseret Industries. He came to visit in Arizona a couple weeks ago and hand delivered the other trophy to Tyler. I can't believe there are two of these birds around and that Riley found another one! Now we have a trophy for each of the Rook winners. And, by the way, I hope to have one of them back on my plant shelf sometime in the future!
