[Jason Larsen]

I'm better off just asking this. I don't know the answer to this question off hand, but who is Barry Smith's wife?

[Charlie Reams]

I believe it's Margaret Smith of 31 Cranberry Cottages, Horsesham, Leicester. That's just off-hand.

[Jason Larsen]

And she won 5 games?

Wow, that's impressive.
